   for you went up onto your father’s bed,

   onto my couch and defiled it.

   my might, and the *Deut. 21:17firstfruits of my strength,

   4 Unstable as water, you shall not have preeminence,

   because you *ch. 35:22;1 Chr. 5:1went up to your father’s bed;

   then you defiled it—he went up to my couch!

4. NLT New Living Translation

   3 "Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength,

   the child of my vigorous youth.

   and you will be first no longer.

   For you went to bed with my wife;

   you defiled my marriage couch.

   Because you *Gen. 35:22; Deut. 27:20; 1 Chr. 5:1went up to your father’s bed;

   Then you defiled it—

   He went up to my couch.

   3 Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow: excelling in gifts, greater in command. 4 Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not: because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed, and didst defile his couch.

8. MSG The Message

   3,4 Reuben, you’re my firstborn,

   my strength, first proof of my manhood,

   at the top in honor and at the top in power,

   But like a bucket of water spilled,

   you’ll be at the top no more,

   Because you climbed into your father’s marriage bed,

   mounting that couch, and you defiled it.
