1 Chronicles 5
1 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.
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;
2 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.
thi vel var Juda vældig iblandt sine Brødre, og Fyrsten skulde være af ham; men Førstefødselsretten blev Josefs —
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Rubens, Israels førstefødtes, Sønner vare: Hanok og Pallu, Hezron og Karmi.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Joels Efterkommere vare: hans Søn Semaja, dennes Søn Gog, dennes Søn Simei,
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
dennes Søn Mika, dennes Søn Reaja, dennes Søn Baal,
6 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.
dennes Søn Beera, hvilken Thilgath-Pilneser, Kongen af Assyrien, førte bort; han var en Fyrste for Rubeniterne.
7 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,
Men hans Brødre, efter deres Slægter, naar de bleve regnede i Slægtregister efter deres Nedstammelse, ere Jeiel som den første og Sakaria
8 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].
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.
9 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].
Og han boede imod Østen, hen imod Ørken, fra Floden Frat af: Thi deres Kvæg var blevet meget i Gileads Land.
10 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].
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.
11 The tribe of Gad lived near the tribe of Reuben; they lived in [the] Bashan [region], all the way [east] to Salecah [town].
Og Gads Børn boede tværs over for dem i Basans Land indtil Salka:
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joel, den første, og Safan, den anden, og Jaenaj og Safat — i Basan.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
Og deres Brødre efter deres Fædres Hus vare: Mikael og Mesullam og Seba og Joraj og Jaekan og Sia og Eber, i alt syv.
14 They were descendants of Abihail. Abihail was Huri’s son. Huri was Jaroah’s son. Jaroah was Gilead’s son. Gilead was Michael’s son. Michael was Jeshishai’s son. Jeshishai was Jahdo’s son. Jahdo was the son of Buz.
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.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahi, en Søn af Abdiel, som var en Søn af Guni, var den ypperste i deres Fædres Hus.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
Og de boede i Gilead udi Basan og i dens tilliggende Stæder og paa alle Sarons Marker indtil deres Grænser.
17 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.
Disse bleve alle indførte i Slægtregisteret i Jothams, Judas Konges, Dage, og i Jeroboams, Israels Konges, Dage.
18 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.
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.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Og de førte Krig imod Hagarenerne og imod Jethur og Nafis og Nodab.
20 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.
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.
21 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.
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.
22 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.
Thi der faldt mange ihjelslagne, thi Krigen var af Gud; og de boede i deres Sted, indtil de bleve bortførte.
23 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.
Og Manasses halve Stammes Børn boede i Landet, fra Basan indtil Baal-Hermon og Senir og Hermons Bjerg; de vare blevne mange.
24 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.
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.
25 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!
Men de forsyndede sig imod deres Fædres Gud og bolede efter de Folks Guder i Landet, hvilke Gud havde ødelagt for deres Ansigt.
26 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.
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.
