1 Krønikebok 5
1 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.
And the sons of Reuben, the oldest son of Israel, (for he was the oldest son, but, because he made his father's bride-bed unclean, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel; but he is not to be given the place of the oldest.
2 For Juda var nok den megtigaste millom brørne sine, og ein av etterkomarane hans vart fyrste; men odelsretten høyrde Josef til -
Though Judah became stronger than his brothers, and from him came the ruler, the birthright was Joseph's: )
3 sønerne hans Ruben, eldste son åt Israel, var Hanok og Pallu, Hesron og Karmi.

The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 hans son var Mika, hans son Reaja, hans son Ba’al,
Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 hans son Be’era, som Tilgat-Pilneser, kongen i Assyria, førde burt til fange; han var hovding for rubenitarne.

7 Og då brørne hans med sine ætter vart uppskrivne i ættarlista etter sine ættgreiner, var det desse: Je’iel, hovdingen, og Zakarja,
And his brothers by their families, when the list of their generations was made up: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

And Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who was living in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon;
9 Og austetter nådde bustaderne hans alt fram åt øydemarki som rekk frå Eufratelvi; for dei hadde store flokkar med fe i Gileadlandet.
And to the east his limits went as far as the starting point of the waste land, ending at the river Euphrates, because their cattle were increased in number in the land of Gilead.
10 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.
And in the days of Saul they made war on the Hagarites, and overcame them; and they put up their tents through all the land east of Gilead.

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;
15 Ahi, son åt Abdiel, son åt Guni, var ættarhovdingen deira.
Ahi, the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, head of their families.
16 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.
And they were living in Gilead in Bashan, in its small towns and in all the grass-land of Sirion as far as its limits.

All these were listed under the names of their families, in the time of Jotham, king of Judah, and in the time of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
18 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.
There were forty-four thousand, seven hundred and sixty of the sons of Reuben and of the Gadites and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, all strong men, expert in the use of the body-cover, the sword, and the bow, and in the art of war, all able to take up arms.
19 Og dei hadde ufred med hagarenarne og Jetur og Nafis og Nodab.
And they went to war against the Hagarites, with Jetur and Naphish and Nodab.
20 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.
And they were helped against them, so that the Hagarites, and those with them, were given into their power. For they sent up prayers to God in the fight, and he gave ear to them, because they put their faith in him.
21 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.
And they took away their cattle: fifty thousand camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men.
22 For det hadde vore eit stort mannefall, etter di striden var ifrå Gud. Og dei budde i landet deira alt til burtføringi.
And a very great number went to their death, because the war was God's purpose. And they went on living in their place till they were taken away as prisoners.

24 Og desse var ættarhovdingarne deira: Efer og Jisi, Eliel og Azriel, Jirmeja og Hodavja og Jahdiel, stridsføre hermenner, namngjetne menner, hovdingar for ættgreinene sine.
And these were the heads of their families: Epher and Ishi and Eliel and Azriel and Jeremiah and Hodaviah and Jahdiel, men of war, of great name, heads of families.
25 Men dei var utrue mot fedreguden og heldt seg med gudarne åt det folket der i landet som Gud hadde tynt for augo deira.
And they did evil against the God of their fathers, worshipping the gods of the people of the land, whom God had put to destruction before them.
26 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.
And the God of Israel put an impulse into the heart of Pul, king of Assyria, and of Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, who took them away as prisoners, all the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to Halah and Habor and Hara and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
