38 these mentioned by name were rulers in their families, and their fathers' houses increased greatly.
Watu hawa walioorodheshwa hapa juu kwa majina walikuwa viongozi wa koo zao. Jamaa zao ziliongezeka sana,
39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
wakaenea mpaka kwenye viunga vya Gedori kuelekea mashariki mwa bonde wakitafuta malisho kwa ajili ya mifugo yao.
40 And they found lush and good pasture, and the land was wide and quiet and peaceable, for those who dwelt there formerly were of Ham.
Huko walipata malisho mengi mazuri, nayo nchi ilikuwa na nafasi kubwa, yenye amani na utulivu. Baadhi ya Wahamu waliishi huko zamani.
41 And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the Meunim who were found there, and destroyed them utterly to this day, and dwelt in their stead because there was pasture there for their flocks.
Watu walioorodheshwa majina walikuja katika nchi hiyo wakati wa Hezekia mfalme wa Yuda. Akawashambulia Wahamu katika makao yao pamoja na Wameuni ambao walikuwako huko nao wakawaangamiza kabisa, kama ilivyo dhahiri hadi leo. Kisha wakafanya makazi yao huko kwa sababu kulikuwa na malisho mazuri kwa ajili ya mifugo yao.
42 And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
Watu wa kabila la wa Simeoni wapatao mia tano, wakiongozwa na Pelatia, Nearia, Refaya na Uzieli wana wa Ishi, wakavamia nchi ya vilima ya Seiri.
43 And they smote the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and have dwelt there to this day.
Wakawaua Waamaleki waliobaki, waliokuwa wamenusurika, nao wanaishi huko hadi leo.
