Første Krønikebog 5

1 Og Rubens, Israels førstefødtes, Sønner — thi han var den førstefødte, men fordi han besmittede sin Faders Seng, blev hans Førstefødselsret givet Josefs, Israels Søns, Børn; dog denne blev ikke regnet i Slægtregisteret som den førstefødte;

These were the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel. Though he was the firstborn, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel, because Reuben defiled his father’s bed. So he is not reckoned according to birthright.

2 thi vel var Juda vældig iblandt sine Brødre, og Fyrsten skulde være af ham; men Førstefødselsretten blev Josefs —

And though Judah prevailed over his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.

3 Rubens, Israels førstefødtes, Sønner vare: Hanok og Pallu, Hezron og Karmi.

The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

4 Joels Efterkommere vare: hans Søn Semaja, dennes Søn Gog, dennes Søn Simei,

The descendants of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

5 dennes Søn Mika, dennes Søn Reaja, dennes Søn Baal,

Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

6 dennes Søn Beera, hvilken Thilgath-Pilneser, Kongen af Assyrien, førte bort; han var en Fyrste for Rubeniterne.

and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.

7 Men hans Brødre, efter deres Slægter, naar de bleve regnede i Slægtregister efter deres Nedstammelse, ere Jeiel som den første og Sakaria

His relatives by their clans are recorded in their genealogy: Jeiel the chief, Zechariah,

8 og Bela, en Søn af Asa, en Søn af Sema, som var en Søn af Joel; han boede i Aroer og indtil Nebo og Baal-Meon.

and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in Aroer and as far as Nebo and Baal-meon.

9 Og han boede imod Østen, hen imod Ørken, fra Floden Frat af: Thi deres Kvæg var blevet meget i Gileads Land.

They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead.

10 Og i Sauls Dage førte de Krig imod Hagarenerne, og disse faldt for deres Haand, og de toge Bolig i deres Telte ved hele Østsiden af Gilead.

During the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who were defeated at their hands, and they occupied the homes of the Hagrites throughout the region east of Gilead.

11 Og Gads Børn boede tværs over for dem i Basans Land indtil Salka:

The descendants of Gad lived next to the Reubenites in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah:

12 Joel, den første, og Safan, den anden, og Jaenaj og Safat — i Basan.

Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Jaanai and Shaphat, who lived in Bashan.

13 Og deres Brødre efter deres Fædres Hus vare: Mikael og Mesullam og Seba og Joraj og Jaekan og Sia og Eber, i alt syv.

Their kinsmen by families were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.

14 Disse ere Sønner af Abihail, en Søn af Huri, som var en Søn af Jaroa, en Søn af Gilead, en Søn af Mikael, en Søn af Jesisaj, en Søn af Jahdo, en Søn af Bus.

These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz.

15 Ahi, en Søn af Abdiel, som var en Søn af Guni, var den ypperste i deres Fædres Hus.

Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.

16 Og de boede i Gilead udi Basan og i dens tilliggende Stæder og paa alle Sarons Marker indtil deres Grænser.

They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon.

17 Disse bleve alle indførte i Slægtregisteret i Jothams, Judas Konges, Dage, og i Jeroboams, Israels Konges, Dage.

All of them were reckoned in the genealogies during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 Rubens Børn og Gaditerne og Manasses halve Stamme, som vare stridbare Folk, Mænd, som bare Skjold og Sværd og spændte Buer og vare oplærte til Krig, vare fire og fyrretyve Tusinde og syv Hundrede og tresindstyve, som kunde drage ud i Hæren.

The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors—valiant men who carried the shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for battle.

19 Og de førte Krig imod Hagarenerne og imod Jethur og Nafis og Nodab.

They waged war against the Hagrites, as well as Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.

20 Og de fik Hjælp imod dem, og Hagarenerne og alt det, som var med dem, bleve givne i deres Haand; thi de raabte til Gud i Krigen, og han bønhørte dem, thi de forlode sig paa ham.

And because they cried out to God in battle, they were helped against their enemies, and the Hagrites and all their allies were delivered into their hands. Because they put their trust in God, He answered their prayers.

21 Og de førte deres Kvæg bort, deres Kameler, halvtredsindstyve Tusinde, og to Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Tusinde Faar og to Tusinde Asener og hundrede Tusinde Menneskesjæle.

They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took 100,000 captives,

22 Thi der faldt mange ihjelslagne, thi Krigen var af Gud; og de boede i deres Sted, indtil de bleve bortførte.

and many others fell slain, because the battle belonged to God. And they occupied the land until the exile.

23 Og Manasses halve Stammes Børn boede i Landet, fra Basan indtil Baal-Hermon og Senir og Hermons Bjerg; de vare blevne mange.

Now the people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous. They settled in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon (that is, Senir, also known as Mount Hermon).

24 Og disse vare de øverste for deres Fædrenehuse: Efer og Jisei og Eliel og Asriel og Jeremia og Hoda via og Jadiel, vældige Stridsmænd, navnkundige Mænd, de øverste for deres Fædrenehuse.

These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their families.

25 Men de forsyndede sig imod deres Fædres Gud og bolede efter de Folks Guder i Landet, hvilke Gud havde ødelagt for deres Ansigt.

But they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and they prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.

26 Og Israels Gud opvakte Fuls Aand, Kongens af Assyrien, og Thilgath-Pilnesers Aand, Kongens af Assyrien, at han bortførte dem, Rubeniterne og Gaditerne og den halve Manasses Stamme, og han bragte dem til Hala og Habor og Hara og til Floden Gosan, indtil denne Dag.

So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria) to take the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. And he brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.
