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;
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 he had defiled his father's bed. That is why Reuben is not listed in the genealogy according to birthright,
2 thi vel var Juda vældig iblandt sine Brødre, og Fyrsten skulde være af ham; men Førstefødselsretten blev Josefs —
and even though Judah became the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.)

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.
They received help in fighting these enemies because they called out to God during the battles. In this way they were able to defeat the Hagrites and all who were with them. God answered their prayers because they trusted in him.
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 captured their enemies' livestock—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people,
22 Thi der faldt mange ihjelslagne, thi Krigen var af Gud; og de boede i deres Sted, indtil de bleve bortførte.

These were the family heads: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were strong warriors, famous men, 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 forefathers. They prostituted themselves by following the gods of the peoples of the land, those that 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 encouraged of Pul, king of Assyria, (otherwise known as Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), to invade the land. He took into exile the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.
