Første Krønikebog 5

1 Rubens, Israels førstefødtes, Sønner — han var nemlig den førstefødte, men da han vanærede sin Faders Leje, gaves hans Førstefødselsret til Israels Søn Josefs Sønner, dog ikke saaledes, at de i Slægtebogen opføres som førstefødte;

Also, there were the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel. For indeed, he was his firstborn, but when he had violated the bed of his father, his right as firstborn was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, and he was not reputed as firstborn.

2 thi Juda herskede over sine Brødre, og af hans Midte skulde Fyrsten tages, men Førstefødselsretten blev Josefs —

Moreover, Judah, who was strongest among his brothers, from his stock leaders sprung up, but the right of firstborn was reputed to Joseph.

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

So then, the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.

7 Og hans Brødre efter deres Slægter, som de var optegnede i Slægtebogen efter deres Nedstamning Først Je'iel, dernæst Zekarja

Now his brothers and all his kindred, when they were being numbered according to their families, had as leaders Jeiel and Zechariah.

8 og Bela, en Søn af Azaz, en Søn af Sjema, en Søn af Joel, som boede i Aroer og hen til Nebo og Ba'al-Meon;

Now Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baalmeon.

9 og mod Øst naaede det Omraade, hvor han boede, hen imod Ørkenegnene, der strækker sig over mod Eufratfloden; thi de havde talrige Hjorde i Gileads Land.

And he lived toward the eastern region, as far as the entrance to the wilderness and the river Euphrates. For indeed, they possessed a great number of cattle in the land of Gilead.

10 I Sauls Dage førte de Krig med Hagriterne, og disse faldt i deres Haand; saa bosatte de sig i deres Telte paa hele Gileads Østside.

Then, in the days of Saul, they battled against the Hagarites and put them to death. And they lived in place of them, in their dwellings, throughout the entire region that looks to the east of Gilead.

11 Gads Sønner, som boede lige over for dem i Basans Land indtil Salka:

These were the sons of Abihail, the 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,

16 De boede i Gilead, i Basan og Smaabyerne det og i alle Sirjons Græsgange, saa langt de strækker sig.

And they lived in Gilead, and in Bashan and its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as the borders.

17 De indførtes alle i Slægtebog i Kong Jotam af Judas og Kong Jeroboam af Israels Dage.

All these were numbered in the days of Jotham, the king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the king of Israel:

18 Rubeniterne, Gaditerne og Manasses halve Stamme, alle de krigsdygtige Mænd, der har Skjold og Sværd, spændte Bue og var øvet i Kamp, 44 760 Mand, der kunde drage i Kamp,

the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, men of war, carrying shields and swords, and bending the bow, and trained for battle, forty-four thousand and seven hundred sixty, advancing to the fight.

19 førte Krig med Hagriterne, Jetur, Nafisj og Nodab;

They struggled against the Hagarites, yet truly the Jetureans, and Naphish, and Nodab offered assistance to them.

20 og de fik Hjælp imod dem, saa at Hagriterne og alle deres Forbundsfæller overgaves i deres Haand, thi de raabte til Gud i Kampen, og han bønhørte dem, fordi de slog deres Lid til ham.

And the Hagarites were delivered into their hands, and all who were with them. For they called upon God while they did battle. And he heeded them, because they had trusted in him.

21 Saa tog de deres Hjorde, 50 000 Kameler, 250 000 Stykker Smaakvæg, 2000 Æsler og 100 000 Mennesker som Bytte.

And they seized all that they possessed, of camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand lives.

22 Der skete nemlig et stort Mandefald, thi Gud havde villet Krigen; og de boede nu i Landet i deres Sted lige til Landflygtigheden.

And many fell down wounded. For it was a war of the Lord. And they lived in place of them, until the transmigration.

23 Manasses halve Stammes Sønner boede i Landet fra Basan til Ba'al-Hermon, Senir og Hermonbjerget; de var talrige.

Also, the sons of the one half tribe of Manasseh possessed the land, from the parts of Bashan as far as Baal, Hermon, and Sanir, and Mount Hermon. For certainly, their number was immense.

24 Overhovederne for deres Fædrenehuse var følgende: Efer, Jisj'i, Eliel, Azriel, Jirmeja, Hodavja og Jadiel, dygtige Krigere og navnkundige Mænd, Overhoveder for deres Fædrenehuse.

And these were leaders of the house of their kindred: Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, very valiant and powerful men, and renowned leaders in their families.

25 Men de var deres Fædres Gud utro og bolede med de Guder, der dyrkedes af Landets Folkeslag, som Gud havde udryddet foran dem.

But they abandoned the God of their fathers, and they fornicated after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God took away before them.

26 Da æggede Israels Gud Assyrerkongerne Puls og Tillegat-Pilnesers Sind, saa han slæbte dem bort, Rubeniterne, Gaditerne og Manasses halve Stamme, og bragte dem til Hala, Habor, Hara og Gozan-floden, hvor de er den Dag i Dag.

And so the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul, the king of the Assyrians, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser, the king of Assur. And he took away Reuben, and Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh. And he led them to Halah, and to Habor, and to Hara, and to the river of Gozan, even to this day.
