Yuda asefo no bi din de Peres, Hesron, Karmi, Hur ne Sobal.
2 Reaiah son of Shobal was the father of Jahath, and Jahath was the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These were the clans of the Zorathites.

3 These were the sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. And their sister was named Hazzelelponi.

5 Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.
Na Tekoa agya a ne din de Ashur no wɔ yerenom baanu a wɔfrɛ wɔn Hela ne Naara.

7 The sons of Helah were Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan,

ne Kos a nʼasefo ne Anub, Hasobeba ne Harum babarima Aharhel, Harum ne ne mmusua nyinaa.
9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Yabes a ɔyɛɛ ɔkɛse sen ne nuabarimanom nyinaa. Ne na too no din Yabes, efisɛ onyaa ɔyaw wɔ nʼawo mu.
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.
Yabes ne obi a ɔbɔɔ mpae kyerɛɛ Israel Nyankopɔn se, “Ao, hyira me na trɛw mʼahye mu. Mesrɛ wo, ka me ho wɔ nea mɛyɛ biara mu, na yi me fi ɔhaw ne ɔyaw nyinaa mu.” Na Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nʼabisade no maa no.
11 Chelub the brother of Shuhah was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
Suba nuabarima Kelub woo Mehir. Mehir woo Eston.
12 Eshton was the father of Beth-rapha, of Paseah, and of Tehinnah the father of Ir-nahash. These were the men of Recah.
Eston woo Bet-Rafa, Paseah ne Tehina. Tehina woo Ir-Nahas. Eyinom ne Reka asefo.
13 The sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah. The sons of Othniel: Hathath and Meonothai.
Kenas mmabarima ne Otniel ne Seraia. Otniel mmabarima ne Hatat ne Meonotai.
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.
Meonotai woo Ofra. Na Seraia woo Yoab a ofii Adwumfo Bon ase, efisɛ na adwumfo pii tete hɔ.
15 The sons of Caleb son of Jephunneh: Iru, Elah, and Naam. The son of Elah: Kenaz.
Na Yefune babarima Kaleb mmabarima yɛ Iru, Ela ne Naam. Na Ela babarima yɛ Kenas.
16 The sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.
Yehalelel mmabarima ne Sif ne Sifa, Tiria ne Asarel.
17 The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. And Mered’s wife Bithiah gave birth to Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa.
Ɛsra mmabarima yɛ Yeter, Mered, Efer ne Yalon. Mered waree Misraimnibea ma ɔwoo Miriam, Samai ne Yisba a ɔbɛyɛɛ Estemoa agya no.
18 These were the children of Pharaoh’s daughter Bithiah. Mered also took a Judean wife, who gave birth to Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.
Mered nso waree ɔbea a ofi Yuda. Ɔno nso woo Yered a ɔbɛyɛɛ Gedor agya, Heber a ɔyɛ Soko agya, ne Yekutiel a ɔyɛ Sanoa agya. Na wɔfrɛ Mered yere Misraimni no se Bitia a na ɔyɛ Misraimhene babea.
19 The sons of Hodiah’s wife, the sister of Naham, were the fathers of Keilah the Garmite and of Eshtemoa the Maacathite.
Na Hodia yere yɛ Naham nuabea. Ne mmabarima no mu baako na ɔwoo Keila a ɔyɛ Garmini na ɔbaako nso woo Estemoa a ɔyɛ Maakatni.
20 The sons of Shimon: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. The descendants of Ishi: Zoheth and Ben-zoheth.
Simon mmabarima ne Amnon, Rina, Ben-Hanan ne Tilon. Na Yisi asefo no ne Sohet ne Ben-Sohet.
21 The sons of Shelah son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah and the clans of the linen workers at Beth-ashbea,
Na Sela yɛ Yuda mma no mu baako. Na Sela asefo no ne Er a ɔwoo Leka, Lada a ɔwoo Maresa a na wɔyɛ nweratam ho adwuma wɔ Bet-Asbea,
22 Jokim, the men of Cozeba, and Joash and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi-lehem. (These names are from ancient records.)
Yokim, Kosebafo, Yoas, ne Saraf a na wodi Moab ne Yasubi-Lehem so no. Saa din yi nyinaa, wonya fii tete nkyerɛw a na wɔakyerɛw agu hɔ mu.
23 These were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah. They lived there in the service of the king.
Na wɔyɛ nkukunwemfo a na wɔte Netaim ne Gedera. Na wɔn nyinaa yɛ nnwuma ma ɔhene.
24 The descendants of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.

25 The sons of Shaul: Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma.
Na Saulo asefo yɛ Salum, Mibsam ne Misma.
26 The sons of Mishma: Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.
Na Misma asefo yɛ Hamuel, Sakur ne Simei.
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.
Simei woo mmabarima dunsia ne mmabea baasia. Ne nuabarimanom de, na wɔn mu biara nni abusua kɛse saa. Ɛno nti, Simeon abusua annɔ te sɛ Yuda abusua no.
28 They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,
Wɔtenaa Beer-Seba, Molada ne Hasar-Sual,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
Bilha, Esem ne Tolad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
Betuel, Horma ne Siklag,
31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.
Bet-Markabot, Hasar-Susim, Bet-Biri ne Saaraim. Na saa nkurow yi nyinaa hyɛɛ wɔn ase kosii ɔhene Dawid bere so.
32 And their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan—five towns—
Wɔn asefo nso tenaa Etam, Ain, Rimon, Token ne Asan a ɛyɛ nkurow anum yi so,
33 and all their surrounding villages as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record:
ne ne nkuraa a atwa ho ahyia no kosii Baal. Na wɔn atenae ni, na wɔahyehyɛ saa din yi nyinaa wɔ wɔn anato nkrataa mu.
34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah,
Wɔn a wɔka Simeon asefo ho no bi nso ne Mesobab, Yamlek ne Amasia babarima Yosa,
35 Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah (son of Seraiah, son of Asiel),

38 These men listed by name were the leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly,
Din a yɛabobɔ yi yɛ ntuanofo a wɔdeda Simeon mmusuakuw a wɔyɛ adefo no ano no bi.
39 and they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, in search of pasture for their flocks.
Wɔkɔɔ Gedor fam a na ɛwɔ obon no apuei fam sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ asase pa ama wɔn mmoa adidi so.
40 There they found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful, and quiet; for some Hamites had lived there formerly.
Wonyaa mmoa adidibea pa wɔ hɔ. Na asase no so dwo na basabasayɛ biara nni hɔ. Na Ham asefo no bi akɔtena Gedor fa mu hɔ dedaw.
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.
Yudahene Hesekia bere so no, Simeon ntuanofo no ko dii hɔ so, sɛee Ham ne Meunifo afi pasaa. Wokum obiara a na ɔte hɔ, faa asase no, efisɛ, na wɔpɛ sɛ wonya mmoa didibea pa no.
42 And five hundred of these Simeonites led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to Mount Seir
Akofo no mu ahannum a wofi Simeon abusuakuw mu no kɔɔ bepɔw Seir so, a na Pelatia, Nearia, Refaia ne Usiel a wɔn nyinaa yɛ Yisi mmabarima no na na wodi wɔn anim.
43 and struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they have lived there to this day.
Amalekfo kakra a wɔkae no, wokunkum wɔn nyinaa, faa hɔ, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
