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 sønerne hans Ruben, eldste son åt Israel - for han var den eldste; men med di han vanhelga lega åt far sin, vart odelsretten hans gjeven til sønerne hans Josef, son åt Israel, men då ikkje soleis at han skulde skrivast upp i ættelista som den eldste.
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.
For Juda var nok den megtigaste millom brørne sine, og ein av etterkomarane hans vart fyrste; men odelsretten høyrde Josef til -
3 But Reuben was Jacob’s oldest son. Reuben’s sons were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
sønerne hans Ruben, eldste son åt Israel, var Hanok og Pallu, Hesron og Karmi.
4 [Another descendant of Reuben was Joel]. Joel’s son was Shemaiah. Shemaiah’s son was Gog. Gog’s son was Shimei.
Sønerne åt Joel var Semaja, son hans; hans son var Gog; hans son var Sime’i,
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
hans son var Mika, hans son Reaja, hans son Ba’al,
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.
hans son Be’era, som Tilgat-Pilneser, kongen i Assyria, førde burt til fange; han var hovding for rubenitarne.
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,
Og då brørne hans med sine ætter vart uppskrivne i ættarlista etter sine ættgreiner, var det desse: Je’iel, hovdingen, og Zakarja,
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, son åt Azaz, son åt Sema, son åt Jo’el; han budde i Aroer, og bustaderne hans nådde radt til Nebo og Ba’al-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 austetter nådde bustaderne hans alt fram åt øydemarki som rekk frå Eufratelvi; for dei hadde store flokkar med fe i Gileadlandet.
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].
Men i Sauls dagar låg dei i strid med hagarenarne, som då fall for handi deira; so sette dei seg til i tjeldbuderne deira etter heile austsida åt 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-sønerne budde midt imot deim i Basanlandet alt til Salka:
12 Joel was their chief; Shapham was his assistant; other leaders were Janai and Shaphat.
Joel, hovdingen, og di næst Safan, og so Janai 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 brørne deira, etter sine ættgreiner, var Mikael og Mesullam og Seba og Jorai, Jakan, Zia og Eber, sju i talet.
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.
Desse var søner åt Abiha’il, son åt Huri, son åt Jaroah, son åt Gilead, son åt Mikael, son åt Jesisai, son åt Jahdo, son åt Buz.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahi, son åt Abdiel, son åt Guni, var ættarhovdingen deira.
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
Og dei budde i Gilead i Basan og i dei bygderne som låg ikring, og på alle utmarkerne i Saron, so langt som dei rakk.
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.
Alle desse vart uppskrivne i ættarlista i den tidi då Jotam var konge i Juda, og då Jeroboam var konge i 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.
Rubens-sønerne og gaditarne og helvti av Manasse-ætti, dei som var stridsføre og bar skjold og sverd og spente boge og var stridskunnige, var fire og fyrti tusund sju hundrad og seksti våpnføre menner.
19 They attacked the descendants of Hagar and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab [cities].
Og dei hadde ufred med hagarenarne og Jetur 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 dei fekk siger i striden, so hagarenarne og alle som var med deim, kom i deira hender; for dei ropa til Gud i striden, og han høyrde bøni deira, av di dei leit på honom.
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 dei førde burt til herfang feet deira, femti tusund kamelar og tvo hundrad og femti tusund sauer og tvo tusund asen, og hundrad tusund mann.
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.
For det hadde vore eit stort mannefall, etter di striden var ifrå Gud. Og dei budde i landet deira alt til burtføringi.
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.
Sønerne åt helvti av Manasse-ætti budde og der i landet frå Basan alt til Ba’al-Hermon og Senir og Hermonfjellet, og dei var mangmente.
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 desse var ættarhovdingarne deira: Efer og Jisi, Eliel og Azriel, Jirmeja og Hodavja og Jahdiel, stridsføre hermenner, namngjetne menner, hovdingar for ættgreinene sine.
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 dei var utrue mot fedreguden og heldt seg med gudarne åt det folket der i landet som Gud hadde tynt for augo deira.
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.
Då øste Israels Gud upp hugen hjå assyrarkongen Pul og assyrarkongen Tilgat-Pilneser, og han førde deim burt, rubenitarne og gaditarne og eine helvti av Manasse-ætti, og flutte deim til Halah og Habor og Hara og Gozanelvi, og der dei er den dag i dag.
