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;
Reuben was the oldest son of Jacob. Therefore, he should have received the special rights/privileges that belonged to firstborn sons. But he had sex with his father’s slave wife, so [his father] gave the rights if a firstborn son to the sons of Reubers younger brother Joseph. And in the family records, Reuben is not mentioned first, like the firstborn sons always are.
2 thi Juda herskede over sine Brødre, og af hans Midte skulde Fyrsten tages, men Førstefødselsretten blev Josefs —
Although Judah became more influential than his brothers, and a ruler of the tribe descended from him, Joseph’s family received the rights that belonged to firstborn sons.
3 Rubens, Israels førstefødtes, Sønner: Hanok, Pallu, Hezron og Karmi.
But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 Joels Sønner: Hans Søn Sjemaja, hans Søn Gog, hans Søn Sjim'i
[Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
5 hans Søn Mika, hans Søn Reaja, hans Søn Ba'al,
Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
6 hans Søn Be'era, hvem Assyrerkongen Tillegat-Pilneser førte i Landflygtighed, da han var Rubeniternes Øverste.
Baal’s son was Beerah. Beerah was a leader of the tribe/descendants of Reuben. But Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria captured him and took him to Assyria.
7 Og hans Brødre efter deres Slægter, som de var optegnede i Slægtebogen efter deres Nedstamning Først Je'iel, dernæst Zekarja
The names of these clans are listed here according to what is written in their family records. The first [name written was] Jeiel. Then 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;
and then Bela. Bela was the son of Azaz, and Azaz was the son of Shema, and Shema was the son of Joel. Reuben’s clan was very large. Some of them lived near Aroer [city] as far [north] as Nebo [town] and Baal-Meon [city].
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.
Some of them lived further east, as far as the edge of the desert [south of] the Euphrates River. [They went there] because they had a huge amount of cattle, [with the result that there was not enough pastureland for them] in [the] Gilead [region].
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.
When Saul was king [of Israel], Bela’s clan fought against the descendants of Hagar and defeated them. After that, Bela’s clan lived in the tents that the descendants of Hagar had lived in previously, in all the area east of [the] Gilead [region].
11 Gads Sønner, som boede lige over for dem i Basans Land indtil Salka:
The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
12 Først Joel, dernæst Sjafam, Ja'naj og Sjafat i Basan;
Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
13 og deres Brødre efter deres Fædrenehuse: Mikael, Mesjullam, Sjeba, Joraj, Jakan, Zia og Eber, syv.
Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
14 De var Sønner af Abihajil, en Søn af Huri, en Søn af Jaroa, en Søn af Gilead, en Søn af Mikael, en Søn af Jesjisjaj, en Søn af Jado, en Søn af Buz.

The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
17 De indførtes alle i Slægtebog i Kong Jotam af Judas og Kong Jeroboam af Israels Dage.
All of those names were written in the records of the clans of Gad during the time that Jotham was the king of Judah and Jeroboam was 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,
There were 44,760 soldiers from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and [the eastern] half of the tribe of Manasseh. They all carried shields and swords and bows [and arrows]. They [were all trained to] fight well in battles.
19 førte Krig med Hagriterne, Jetur, Nafisj og Nodab;
They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
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.
The men from those three tribes prayed to God during the battles, requesting him to help them. So he helped them, because they trusted in him. He enabled them to defeat [IDM] the descendants of Hagar and all those who were helping them.
21 Saa tog de deres Hjorde, 50 000 Kameler, 250 000 Stykker Smaakvæg, 2000 Æsler og 100 000 Mennesker som Bytte.
They took the animals that belonged to the descendants of Hagar: They took 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also captured 100,000 people.
22 Der skete nemlig et stort Mandefald, thi Gud havde villet Krigen; og de boede nu i Landet i deres Sted lige til Landflygtigheden.
But many descendants of Hagar were killed because God helped the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. After that, those three tribes lived in that area until [the army of] Babylonia [captured them and] took them away to Babylon.
23 Manasses halve Stammes Sønner boede i Landet fra Basan til Ba'al-Hermon, Senir og Hermonbjerget; de var talrige.
There were many people who belonged to the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh. They lived in [the] Bashan [region east of the Jordan River], as far [north] as Baal-Hermon, Senir, and Hermon Mountain.
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.
Their clan leaders were Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were all strong, brave, and famous soldiers, and leaders of their clans.
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 sinned against God, the one whom their ancestors had worshiped. They began to worship the gods/idols that the people of that region had worshiped, the people whom God had enabled them to destroy!
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.
So the God whom the Israelis [worshiped] caused Pul, the king of Assyria, to conquer those tribes. Pul’s other name was Tiglath-Pileser. His [army] captured the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh, and took them to [various places in Assyria]: Halah, Habor, Hara and near the Gozan River. [They have lived in those places from that time] to the present time.
