Reuben

The sons of Reuben(A) the firstborn of Israel (he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father’s marriage bed,(B) his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph(C) son of Israel;(D) so he could not be listed in the genealogical record in accordance with his birthright,(E) and though Judah(F) was the strongest of his brothers and a ruler(G) came from him, the rights of the firstborn(H) belonged to Joseph)— the sons of Reuben(I) the firstborn of Israel:

Hanok, Pallu,(J) Hezron(K) and Karmi.

The descendants of Joel:

Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,

Shimei his son, Micah his son,

Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser[a](L) king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.

Their relatives by clans,(M) listed according to their genealogical records:

Jeiel the chief, Zechariah, and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in the area from Aroer(N) to Nebo(O) and Baal Meon.(P) To the east they occupied the land up to the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates(Q) River, because their livestock had increased in Gilead.(R)

10 During Saul’s reign they waged war against the Hagrites(S), who were defeated at their hands; they occupied the dwellings of the Hagrites throughout the entire region east of Gilead.

Gad

11 The Gadites(T) lived next to them in Bashan, as far as Salekah:(U)

12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.

13 Their relatives, by families, were:

Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia and Eber—seven in all.

14 These were the sons of Abihail 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 of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.

16 The Gadites lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its outlying villages, and on all the pasturelands of Sharon as far as they extended.

17 All these were entered in the genealogical records during the reigns of Jotham(V) king of Judah and Jeroboam(W) king of Israel.

18 The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service(X)—able-bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur,(Y) Naphish and Nodab. 20 They were helped(Z) in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried(AA) out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted(AB) in him. 21 They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand people captive, 22 and many others fell slain, because the battle(AC) was God’s. And they occupied the land until the exile.(AD)

The Half-Tribe of Manasseh

23 The people of the half-tribe of Manasseh(AE) were numerous; they settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir (Mount Hermon).(AF)

24 These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their families. 25 But they were unfaithful(AG) to the God of their ancestors and prostituted(AH) themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit(AI) of Pul(AJ) king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser(AK) king of Assyria), who took the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah,(AL) Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.

The Family of Reuben(A)

Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—(B)he was indeed the firstborn, but because he (C)defiled his father’s bed, (D)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright; yet (E)Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a (F)ruler, although [a]the birthright was Joseph’s— the sons of (G)Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, and Beerah his son, whom [b]Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria (H)carried into captivity. He was leader of the Reubenites. And his brethren by their families, (I)when the genealogy of their generations was registered: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in (J)Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon. Eastward they settled as far as the [c]entrance of the wilderness this side of the River Euphrates, because their cattle had [d]multiplied (K)in the land of Gilead.

10 Now in the days of Saul they made war (L)with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the entire area east of Gilead.

The Family of Gad

11 And the (M)children of Gad dwelt next to them in the land of (N)Bashan as far as (O)Salcah: 12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the next, then Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan, 13 and their brethren of their father’s house: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jachan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all. 14 These were the children 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 the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was chief of their father’s house. 16 And the Gadites dwelt in Gilead, in Bashan and in its villages, and in all the [e]common-lands of (P)Sharon within their borders. 17 All these were registered by genealogies in the days of (Q)Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of (R)Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war. 19 They made war with the Hagrites, (S)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And (T)they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they (U)cried out to God in the battle. He [f]heeded their prayer, because they (V)put their trust in Him. 21 Then they took away their livestock—fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys—also one hundred thousand of their men; 22 for many fell dead, because the war (W)was God’s. And they dwelt in their place until (X)the captivity.

The Family of Manasseh (East)

23 So the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to (Y)Senir, or Mount Hermon. 24 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their fathers’ houses.

25 And they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and (Z)played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of (AA)Pul king of Assyria, that is, (AB)Tiglath-Pileser[g] king of Assyria. He carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He took them to (AC)Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this day.

流本的子孙

以色列的长子流本的儿子如下(流本虽然是长子,但是因为他玷污了他父亲的床,他长子的名分就归给以色列的儿子约瑟的儿子,所以按着家谱他不算是长子。 犹大在自己的兄弟中是最强盛的,领袖也是从他而出,但是长子的名分却归约瑟): 以色列的长子流本的儿子是哈诺、法路、希斯伦和迦米。 约珥的子孙如下:约珥的儿子是示玛雅,示玛雅的儿子是歌革,歌革的儿子是示每, 示每的儿子是米迦,米迦的儿子是利.亚雅,利.亚雅的儿子是巴力, 巴力的儿子是备.拉;备.拉被亚述王提革拉.毘尼色掳去,他是流本支派的首领。 他的兄弟按着家族历代的谱系记载作首领的,是耶利、撒迦利雅和比拉。 比拉是亚撒的儿子,亚撒是示玛的儿子,示玛是约珥的儿子。约珥住在亚罗珥,远至尼波和巴力.免。 他也向东面迁居,直到幼发拉底河这边旷野的边缘,因为他们在基列地的牲畜增多起来。 10 扫罗在位的日子,他们与夏甲人作战;夏甲人败在他们手下,他们就在基列东面的全境,住在夏甲人的帐棚里。

迦得的子孙

11 迦得的子孙在流本支派的对面,住在巴珊地,直到撒迦。 12 住在巴珊的有族长约珥,副族长沙番,还有雅乃和沙法。 13 他们同家族的兄弟是米迦勒、米书兰、示巴、约赖、雅干、细亚和希伯,共七人。 14 以上这些人都是亚比孩的儿子。亚比孩是户利的儿子,户利是耶罗亚的儿子,耶罗亚是基列的儿子,基列是米迦勒的儿子,米迦勒是耶示筛的儿子,耶示筛是耶哈多的儿子,耶哈多是布斯的儿子; 15 还有古尼的孙子、押比叠的儿子亚希,是他们家族的首领。 16 他们住在基列、巴珊和属于巴珊的村庄,以及沙仑的整个草场,直到四周的边缘。 17 以上所有这些人,在犹大王约坦和以色列王耶罗波安在位的日子,都记载在家谱上。

18 流本支派、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派的人,都是勇士;他们拿盾牌和刀剑,能拉弓射箭,又能出征善战的,共有四万四千七百六十人。 19 他们与夏甲人、伊突人、拿非施人和挪答人作战。 20 他们得 神的帮助对抗敌人,夏甲人和所有与夏甲人联盟的人,都交在他们手中,因为他们在作战的时候向 神呼求; 神应允了他们,因为他们倚靠他。 21 他们又掳掠了敌人的牲畜:骆驼五万、羊二十五万、驴二千,以及人口十万。 22 因为这场战争是出于 神,所以敌人被杀的很多;他们就占领了敌人的地方,直到被掳的时候。

玛拿西半支派

23 玛拿西半个支派的人住在那地,从巴珊直到巴力.黑门、示尼珥和黑门山,他们人数众多。 24 以下这些人是他们各家族的族长:以弗、以示、以列、亚斯列、耶利米、何达威雅和雅叠;他们都是英勇的战士,著名的人物,也是各家族的族长。

河东两个半支派背叛 神

25 他们背弃了他们列祖的 神,随从当地民族的神行邪淫; 神曾从他们面前消灭了这些民族。 26 因此,以色列的 神激动了亚述王普勒的心,就是亚述王提革拉.毘尼色的心,他就把流本支派、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派的人掳到哈腊、哈博和哈拉,以及歌散河边,他们的后裔直到今日还在那里。

Die Nachkommen von Ruben, Gad und Manasse

Und die Söhne Rubens, des Erstgeborenen Israels (er war nämlich der Erstgeborene, aber weil er das Lager seines Vaters entweihte, wurde sein Erstgeburtsrecht den Söhnen Josephs, des Sohnes Israels, gegeben, doch ohne dass dieser im Geschlechtsregister als Erstgeborener verzeichnet wurde;

denn Juda war mächtig unter seinen Brüdern, sodass von ihm der Fürst kommen sollte; aber das Erstgeburtsrecht fiel Joseph zu),

die Söhne Rubens, des Erstgeborenen Israels, waren: Henoch, Pallu, Hezron und Karmi.

Die Söhne Joels: sein Sohn Schemaja, dessen Sohn Gog, dessen Sohn Simei,

dessen Sohn Micha, dessen Sohn Reaja, dessen Sohn Baal,

dessen Sohn Beera, welchen Tiglat-Pilneser, der König von Assyrien, gefangen wegführte; er war ein Fürst der Rubeniter.

Und seine Brüder nach ihren Geschlechtern, in der Aufzeichnung nach ihrer Geburtsfolge, waren: das Oberhaupt, Jehiel; und Secharja,

und Bela, der Sohn Asas, des Sohnes Schemas, des Sohnes Joels; dieser wohnte in Aroer und bis nach Nebo und Baal-Meon,

und gegen Osten wohnte er bis zur Wüste hin, die sich vom Euphratstrom her erstreckt; denn ihre Herden waren zahlreich im Land Gilead.

10 Und in den Tagen Sauls führten sie Krieg mit den Hagaritern, und diese fielen durch ihre Hand, und so wohnten sie in deren Zelten auf der ganzen Ostseite von Gilead.

11 Und die Söhne Gads wohnten ihnen gegenüber im Land Baschan bis nach Salcha:

12 Joel, das Oberhaupt, und Schapham, der zweite, und Janai und Saphat in Baschan.

13 Und ihre Brüder nach ihren Vaterhäusern: Michael, Meschullam, Scheba, Jorai, Jakan, Sia und Heber, [insgesamt] sieben.

14 Dies sind die Söhne Abichails, des Sohnes Huris, des Sohnes Jaroachs, des Sohnes Gileads, des Sohnes Michaels, des Sohnes Jeschischais, des Sohnes Jachdos, des Sohnes des Bus.

15 Achi, der Sohn Abdiels, des Sohnes Gunis, war das Oberhaupt ihres Vaterhauses.

16 Und sie wohnten in Gilead, in Baschan und in deren Dörfern und in allen Weideplätzen Sarons bis an ihre Ausgänge.

17 Sie alle wurden [in Geschlechtsregistern] aufgezeichnet zur Zeit Jotams, des Königs von Juda, und Jerobeams, des Königs von Israel.

18 Bei den Söhnen Rubens und den Gaditern und dem halben Stamm Manasse waren 44 760 tapfere Leute, die mit dem Heer auszogen, Männer, die Schild und Schwert führten und den Bogen spannten und kampfgeübt waren,

19 die führten Krieg mit den Hagaritern und mit Jetur und Naphisch und Nodab.

20 Und es wurde ihnen geholfen gegen sie, und die Hagariter und alle, die mit ihnen waren, wurden in ihre Hand gegeben; denn sie riefen im Kampf zu Gott, und er ließ sich von ihnen erbitten, weil sie auf ihn vertrauten.

21 Und sie führten ihr Vieh hinweg, 50 000 Kamele, 250 000 Schafe, 2 000 Esel, dazu 100 000 Menschenseelen.

22 Denn es fielen viele Erschlagene, denn der Kampf war von Gott. Und sie wohnten an ihrer Stelle bis zur Wegführung.

23 Und die Söhne des halben Stammes Manasse wohnten im Land von Baschan bis nach Baal-Hermon und bis zum Senir und dem Berg Hermon; sie waren zahlreich.

24 Und das waren die Oberhäupter ihrer Vaterhäuser: Epher, Jischi, Eliel, Asriel, Jeremia, Hodawja und Jachdiel, Kriegshelden, Männer von Namen, Häupter ihrer Vaterhäuser.

25 Aber sie fielen ab von dem Gott ihrer Väter und hurten den Göttern der Völker des Landes nach,[a] die Gott vor ihnen vertilgt hatte.

26 Da erweckte der Gott Israels den Geist Puls, des Königs von Assyrien, ja, den Geist Tiglat-Pilnesers, des Königs von Assyrien,[b] und er führte die Rubeniter und die Gaditer und den halben Stamm Manasse gefangen hinweg und brachte sie nach Halach und Habor und nach Hara und zum Gosanfluss bis zu diesem Tag.[c]

Der Stamm Levi

27 Die Söhne Levis: Gerson[d], Kahat und Merari.

28 Und die Söhne Kahats: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron und Ussiel.

29 Und die Söhne Amrams: Aaron und Mose, sowie Mirjam. Und die Söhne Aarons: Nadab und Abihu, Eleasar und Itamar.

30 Eleasar zeugte Pinehas, Pinehas zeugte Abischua,

31 und Abischua zeugte Bukki, und Bukki zeugte Ussi,

32 und Ussi zeugte Serachja, Serachja zeugte Merajot,

33 Merajot zeugte Amarja, Amarja zeugte Achitub,

34 Achitub zeugte Zadok, Zadok zeugte Achimaaz,

35 Achimaaz zeugte Asarja, Asarja zeugte Johanan,

36 Johanan zeugte Asarja — das ist der, welcher als Priester diente in dem Tempel, den Salomo in Jerusalem baute.

37 Und Asarja zeugte Amarja, und Amarja zeugte Achitub,

38 Achitub zeugte Zadok, Zadok zeugte Schallum,

39 Schallum zeugte Hilkija, Hilkija zeugte Asarja,

40 Asarja zeugte Seraja, Seraja zeugte Jozadak,

41 Jozadak aber zog mit hinweg, als der Herr Juda und Jerusalem durch Nebukadnezar wegführte.

Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)

The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:

And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.

11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salcah:

12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

14 These are the children 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 the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.

16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.

19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.

20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

21 And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.

22 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.

24 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.

25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
