< 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 Sohns Israels (denn er war der erste Sohn, aber damit, daß er seines Vaters Bett verunreinigte, ward seine Erstgeburt gegeben den Kindern Josephs, des Sohns Israels; und er ward nicht gerechnet 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 Sohns Israels: Hanoch, 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 Sohn war Gog; des Sohn war Simei;
5 Shimei’s son was Micah. Micah’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah’s son was Baal.
des Sohn war Micha; des Sohn wer 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 führete weg gefangen Thiglath-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 unter ihre Geburt gerechnet wurden, hatten zu Häuptern Jeiel 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 Asans, des Sohns Semas, des Sohns Joels, der wohnete 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 wohnete gegen dem Aufgang, bis man kommt an die Wüste ans Wasser Phrath; denn ihres Viehes 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 führeten sie Krieg wider die Hagariter, daß jene fielen durch ihre Hand, und wohneten in jener Hütten gegen dem ganzen Morgenort 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 wohneten gegen ihnen 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 des Hauses ihrer Väter 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 Sohns Huris, des Sohns Jaroahs, des Sohns Gileads, des Sohns Michaels, des Sohns Jesisais, des Sohns Jahdos, des Sohns Bus.
15 Ahi was Abdiel’s son. Abdiel was Guni’s son. Ahi was the leader of their clan.
Ahi, der Sohn Abdiels, des Sohns Gunis, war ein Oberster im Hause ihrer Väter;
16 The descendants of Gad lived in the towns in Gilead and Bashan regions, and on all the pastureland on [the] Sharon [plain].
und wohneten zu Gilead in Basan und in ihren Töchtern und in allen Vorstädten Sarons bis an ihr Ende.
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 gerechnet zur Zeit Jothams, des Königs Judas, und Jerobeams, des Königs Israels.
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.
Die Kinder Ruben, der Gaditer und des halben Stamms Manasse, was streitbare Männer waren, die Schild und Schwert führen und Bogen spannen konnten und streitkundig waren, der 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 da sie stritten mit den Hagaritern, halfen ihnen Jetur, Naphes 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 die Hagariter wurden gegeben in ihre Hände, und alles, das mit ihnen war. Denn sie schrieen zu Gott im Streit; und er ließ sich erbitten, denn sie vertraueten 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 führeten weg ihr Vieh, fünftausend Kamele, zweihundertundfünfzigtausend 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 viel Verwundete; denn der Streit war von Gott. Und sie wohneten an ihrer Statt bis zur Zeit, da sie gefangen 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 Stamms Manasse wohneten im Lande, von Basan an bis gen Baal-Hermon und Senir und den Berg Hermon; und ihrer war 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 des Hauses ihrer Väter: Epher, Jesei, Eliel, Asriel, Jeremia, Hodawja, Jahdiel; gewaltige, redliche Männer und berühmte Häupter im Haus ihrer Väter.
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 hureten den Götzen nach der Völker im Lande, die Gott vor ihnen vertilget 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 Thiglath-Pilnesers, des Königs von Assyrien, und führete weg die Rubeniter, Gaditer und den halben Stamm Manasse und brachte sie gen Halah und Habor und Hara und an das Wasser Gosan bis auf diesen Tag.
