Yabezi yali wa kitiibwa okusinga baganda be, ne nnyina n’amutuuma erinnya Yabezi amakulu nti, “Namuzaalira mu bulumi.”

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.

Yabezi n’akoowoola Katonda wa Isirayiri ng’agamba nti, “Ompeere ddala omukisa, ogaziye ensalo yange! Omukono gwo gubeere wamu nange, gunkuume obutagwa mu kabi konna, nneme okulumwa mu mutima.” Katonda n’addamu okusaba kwe.

23 These were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah. They lived there in the service of the king.

Mutabani wa Misuma yali Kammweri, eyazaala Zakkuli, nga ate jjajja wa Simeeyi.

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.

Simeeyi yalina abaana aboobulenzi kumi na mukaaga n’aboobuwala mukaaga, naye baganda be tebalina baana bangi, ekika kyabwe kyekyava tekyala nnyo ng’ekya Yuda.

38 These men listed by name were the leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly,

Abo aboogeddwako baali bakulu ba bika byabwe. Ennyumba zaabwe ne zeeyongera nnyo.

39 and they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, in search of pasture for their flocks.

Be basenguka okwolekera omulyango gwa Gedoli ekiri ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba lw’ekiwonvu, nga banoonya aw’okulundira ebisibo byabwe.

40 There they found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful, and quiet; for some Hamites had lived there formerly.

Baalaba omuddo omugimu omulungi, n’ensi yali ngazi, ng’erimu emirembe era nga nteefu. Bazzukulu ba Kaamu be baaberangamu edda.

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.

Abasajja abo aboogeddwako baaliwo mu mirembe gya Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda, era baalumba eweema za bazzukulu ba Kaamu n’Abamewuni abaabeeranga omwo ne babazikiririza ddala, obutalekaawo muntu n’omu wadde ekintu kyonna. Ne babeeranga omwo kubanga waaliyo omuddo ogw’okuwa ebisibo byabwe.

42 And five hundred of these Simeonites led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to Mount Seir

Awo abamu ku batabani ba Simyoni, abasajja enkumi ttaano nga bakulembeddwamu Peratiya, ne Neyaliya, ne Lefaya ne Wuziyeeri batabani ba Isi ne balumba Seyiri ensi ey’ensozi.

43 and struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they have lived there to this day.

Era baazikiriza n’ekitundu ky’Abamaleki ekyali kisigaddewo, oluvannyuma ne basenga eyo, okutuusa olunaku lwa leero.
