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.
Die Kinder Rubens, des ersten Sohnes Israels (denn er war der erste Sohn; aber damit, daß er seines Vaters Bett entweihte, war seine Erstgeburt gegeben den Kinder Josephs, des Sohnes Israels, und er ward nicht aufgezeichnet zur Erstgeburt;
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.
denn Juda, der mächtig war unter seinen Brüdern, dem ward das Fürstentum vor ihm gegeben, und Joseph die Erstgeburt).
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
So sind nun die Kinder Rubens, des ersten Sohnes Israels: Henoch, Pallu, Hezron und Charmi.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Die Kinder aber Joels waren: Semaja; des Sohnes war Gog; des Sohnes war Simei;
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
des Sohn war Micha; des Sohn war Reaja; des Sohn war 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.
des Sohn war Beera, welchen gefangen wegführte Thilgath-Pilneser, der König von Assyrien; er aber war ein Fürst unter den Rubenitern.
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,
Aber seine Brüder unter seinen Geschlechtern, da sie nach ihrer Geburt aufgezeichnet wurden, waren: Jeiel, der Oberste, und Sacharja
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].
und Bela, der Sohn des Asas, des Sohnes Semas, des Sohnes Joels; der wohnte zu Aroer und bis gen Nebo und 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].
und wohnte gegen Aufgang, bis man kommt an die Wüste am Wasser Euphrat; denn ihres Viehs war viel im Lande Gilead.
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].
Und zur Zeit Sauls führten sie Krieg wider die Hagariter, daß sie fielen durch ihre Hand, und wohnten in deren Hütten auf der ganzen Morgengrenze von 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].
Die Kinder Gads aber wohnten ihnen gegenüber im Lande Basan bis gen Salcha:
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joel, der Vornehmste, und Sapham, der andere, Jaenai und Saphat zu Basan.
13 Other members of the tribe belonged to seven clans, whose leaders were Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber.
Und ihre Brüder nach ihren Vaterhäusern waren: Michael, Mesullam, Seba, Jorai, Jaekan, Sia und Eber, die sieben.
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.
Dies sind die Kinder Abihails, des Sohnes Huris, des Sohnes Jaroahs, des Sohnes Gileads, des Sohnes Michaels, des Sohnes Jesisais, des Sohnes Jahdos, des Sohnes Bus.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahi, der Sohn Abdiels, des Sohnes Gunis, war ein Oberster in ihren Vaterhäusern,
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
und sie wohnten zu Gilead in Basan und in seinen Ortschaften und in allen Fluren Sarons bis an ihre Enden.
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.
Diese wurden alle aufgezeichnet zur Zeit Jothams, des König in Juda, und Jerobeams, des Königs über Israel.
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.
Der Kinder Ruben, der Gaditer und des halben Stammes Manasse, was streitbare Männer waren, die Schild und Schwert führen und Bogen spannen konnten und streitkundig waren, deren waren vierundvierzigtausend und siebenhundertundsechzig die ins Heer zogen.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Und sie stritten mit den Hagaritern und mit Jetur, Naphis und 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.
und es ward ihnen geholfen wider sie, und die Hagariter wurden gegeben in ihre Hände und alle, die mit ihnen waren. Denn sie schrieen zu Gott im Streit, und er ließ sich erbitten; denn sie vertrauten ihm.
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.
Und sie führten weg ihr Vieh, fünftausend Kamele, zweihundertfünfzigtausend Schafe, zweitausend Esel, und hunderttausend Menschenseelen.
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.
Denn es fielen viele Verwundete; denn der Streit war von Gott. Und sie wohnten an ihrer Statt bis zur Zeit, da sie gefangen weggeführt wurden.
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.
Die Kinder aber des halben Stammes Manasse wohnten im Lande von Basan an bis gen Baal-Hermon und Senir und den Berg Hermon; und ihrer waren viel.
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.
Und diese waren die Häupter ihrer Vaterhäuser: Epher, Jesei, Eliel, Asriel, Jeremia, Hodavja, Jahdiel, gewaltige Männer und berühmte Häupter in ihren Vaterhäusern.
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!
Und da sie sich an dem Gott ihrer Väter versündigten und abfielen zu den Götzen der Völker im Lande, die Gott vor ihnen vertilgt hatte,
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.
erweckte der Gott Israels den Geist Phuls, des Königs von Assyrien, und den Geist Thilgath-Pilnesers, des Königs von Assyrien; der führte weg die Rubeniter, Gaditer und den halben Stamm Manasse und brachte sie gen Halah und an den Habor und gen Hara und an das Wasser Gosan bis auf diesen Tag.
