10 Truly, Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “If only, when blessing, you will bless me, and will broaden my borders, and your hand will be with me, and you will cause me not to be oppressed by evil.” And God granted to him the things for which he prayed.

38 These were the names of the leaders in their kindred. And they were multiplied greatly within the houses of their marriages.

39 And they set out, so that they might enter into Gedor, as far as the eastern valley, and so that they might seek pastures for their flocks.
et allèrent jusqu’à l’entrée de Ghedor, à l’est de la vallée, afin d’y chercher des pâturages pour leurs troupeaux.
40 And they found fat and very good pastures, and a very wide and quiet and fruitful land, in which some from the stock of Ham had lived before.
Ils y trouvèrent des pâturages gras et bons et un pays vaste, tranquille et pacifique, car ceux qui y habitaient auparavant étaient des descendants de Cham.
41 So then, those whose names have been written above, went forth in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah. And they struck down the inhabitants who had been found there with their dwellings. And they wiped them out, even to the present day. And they lived in place of them, because they found very fat pastures there.
Ceux donc qui ont été désignés par leurs noms vinrent à l’époque d’Ezéchias, roi de Juda; ils détruisirent leurs tentes et les habitations qui s’y trouvaient et ils les vouèrent à l’interdit, ce qui se voit encore aujourd’hui; puis ils s’y établirent à leur place, car ils avaient là des pâturages pour leurs troupeaux.
42 Also, some of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went away to mount Seir, having as leaders Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
D’Entre eux, c’est-à-dire des descendants de Siméon, cinq cents hommes allèrent se fixer sur la montagne de Séïr. Ils avaient à leur tête Pelatia, Nearia, Refaïa et Ouzziël, fils de Yicheï.
43 And they struck down the remnant of the Amalekites, those who had been able to escape, and they lived there in place of them, even to this day.
Ils exterminèrent le reste des survivants d’Amalec, et ils habitent là encore aujourd’hui.
