9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
Yaebetsi azalaki na lokumu mingi koleka bandeko na ye ya mibali. Mama na ye apesaki ye kombo « Yaebetsi » mpo na koloba: « Nabotaki yo na pasi. »
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.
Yaebetsi abelelaki Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele; alobaki: « Oh Yawe! Soki okoki kopambola ngai mpe koyeisa mabele na ngai monene! Tika ete loboko na Yo ezala likolo na ngai! Bomba ngai mosika ya mabe mpo ete namona pasi te. » Mpe Nzambe ayanolaki libondeli na ye.

14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah, and Seraiah was the father of Joab, the father of those living in Ge-harashim, which was given this name because its people were craftsmen.

Mwasi na ye, moto ya Yuda, abotaki Yeredi, tata ya Gedori; Eberi, tata ya Soko mpe Yekutieli, tata ya Zanoa. Bango nde bazalaki bana mibali ya Bitiya, mwana mwasi ya Faraon, oyo Meredi abalaki.
19 The sons of Hodiah’s wife, the sister of Naham, were the fathers of Keilah the Garmite and of Eshtemoa the Maacathite.

26 The sons of Mishma: Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.
Bana mibali ya Mishima: Amueli, Zakuri mpe 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 azalaki na bana mibali zomi na motoba mpe bana basi motoba; kasi bandeko na ye ya mibali babotaki bana mingi te, yango wana etuka na bango ezalaki na bato ebele te lokola libota ya Yuda.

39 and they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, in search of pasture for their flocks.
mpe bakendeki na zingazinga ya Gedori, na ngambo ya este ya lubwaku, mpo na koluka matiti ya koleisa bibwele na bango.
40 There they found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful, and quiet; for some Hamites had lived there formerly.
Bakutaki kuna: matiti kitoko mpo na koleisa bibwele, mokili moko ya monene, ya kimia mpe ezanga mobulu. Bato oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna na tango ya kala, bazalaki bakitani ya Cham.
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.
Na tango Ezekiasi azalaki mokonzi ya Yuda, bato oyo bakombo na bango ekomami, bakomaki na mokili yango. Babundisaki bakitani ya Cham mpe babebisaki bandako na bango; mpe lisusu, basilisaki koboma bato ya Mewuni oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna, ndenge yango ezali komonana lelo. Na sima, bavandaki na bisika na bango, mpo ete mokili yango ezalaki na matiti mpo na koleisa bibwele na bango.

Bato ya Simeoni nkama mitano oyo bakambamaki na Pelatia, na Nearia, na Refaya mpe na Uzieli, bana mibali ya Yisheyi, babotolaki na makasi mokili ya bangomba Seiri,
43 and struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they have lived there to this day.
