3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the beginning (the firstfruits) of my manly strength and vigor; [your birthright gave you] the preeminence in dignity and the preeminence in power.
3Ruben, ikaw ang aking panganay, ang aking kapangyarihan, at siyang pasimula ng aking kalakasan; Siyang kasakdalan ng kamahalan, at siyang kasakdalan ng kapangyarihan.
