9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
Jabez ne ngʼat marahuma moloyo owetene. Min-gi nochake Jabez, kowacho niya, “Ne anywole gi rem.”
10 And Jabez called out to the God of Israel, “If only You would bless me and enlarge my territory! May Your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted the request of Jabez.
Jabez noywagorene Nyasach Israel, “Yaye, yie igwedha mondo pinyruodha omedre! Mad lweti obed koda kendo orita mondo kik gima rach ohinya kendo abedi maonge rem.” To Nyasaye notimone mana kaka ne okwayono.

Joka Mishma ne gin: Hamuel nonywolo Zakur, Zakur nonywolo Shimei.
27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole clan did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah.
Shimei ne nigi yawuowi apar gauchiel kod nyiri auchiel, owetene to ne onge gi nyithindo mangʼeny omiyo anywolagi duto ne ok obedo oganda maduongʼ kaka jo-Juda.

39 and they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, in search of pasture for their flocks.
kendo negidak nyaka oko mar Gedor koma omanyore gi wuok chiengʼ mar holo ka gimanyo kar kwath ne jambgi.
40 There they found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful, and quiet; for some Hamites had lived there formerly.
Neginwangʼo kuonde kwath mabeyo, piny ne lach kendo kwe ne nitie. Jo-Ham moko nodak kae mokwongo.
41 These who were noted by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites and Meunites there in their dwellings, devoting them to destruction even to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks.
Chwo ma nying-gi ondikgo nobiro e ndalo Hezekia ruodh Juda. Negimonjo jo-Ham kuma negidakie kod jo-Meun mane nitie kanyo ma gitiekogi duto mana kaka nyisore ratiro nyaka sani. Negidak ka nikech ne nitiere kar kwath ne jambgi.
42 And five hundred of these Simeonites led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to Mount Seir
To ji mia abich kuom jo-Simeon, ka otelnigi gi Pelatia, Nearia, Refaya kod Uziel, ma yawuot Ishi ne omonjo piny got Seir.
43 and struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they have lived there to this day.
Neginego jo-Amalek mane otony odongʼ kendo pod gidak kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
