1 Chronicles 4
1 The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal.
Yuda asefoɔ no bi edin de Peres, Hesron, Karmi, Hur ne Sobal.
2 Truly, Reaiah, the son of Shobal, conceived Jahath; from him were born Ahumai and Lahad. These are the kindred of the Zorathites.
Sobal babarima Reaia na ɔwoo Yahat. Yahat woo Ahumai ne Lahad. Yeinom na na wɔyɛ Sorafoɔ mmusua.
3 And this is the stock of Etam: Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash. And the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi.
Na Etam asefoɔ no ne Yesreel, Yisma, Yidbas, ɛnna Haslelponi a na ɔyɛ ne babaa,
4 Now Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer was the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratha, the father of Bethlehem.
Penuel a na ɔyɛ Gedor agya ne Eser a na ɔyɛ Husa agya. Yeinom na na wɔyɛ Hur a na ɔyɛ Efrata abakan ne Betlehem agya no asefoɔ.
5 Truly, for Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, there were two wives: Helah and Naarah.
Na Tekoa agya a ne din de Ashur no wɔ yerenom baanu a wɔfrɛ wɔn Hela ne Naara.
6 And Naarah bore to him: Ahuzzam, and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These are the sons of Naarah.
Naara woo Ahusam, Hefer, Temeni ne Ahastari.
7 And the sons of Helah were Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan.
Hela woo Seret, Sohar, Etnan,
8 Now Koz conceived Anub, and Zobebah, and the kindred of Aharhel, the son of Harum.
ne Kos a nʼasefoɔ ne Anub, Hasobeba ne Harum babarima Aharhel, Harum ne ne mmusua nyinaa.
9 But Jabez was renowned, more so than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “For I bore him in sorrow.”
Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Yabes a ɔyɛɛ ɔkɛseɛ sene ne nuammarima nyinaa. Ne maame too no edin Yabes, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnyaa ɔyea wɔ nʼawoɔ mu.
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.
Yabes ne obi a ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ kyerɛɛ Israel Onyankopɔn sɛ, “Ao, hyira me na trɛ mʼahyeɛ mu. Mesrɛ wo, ka me ho wɔ deɛ mɛyɛ biara mu, na yi me firi ɔhaw ne ɔyea nyinaa mu.” Na Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nʼabisadeɛ no maa no.
11 Now Chelub, the brother of Shuhah, conceived Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
Suba nuabarima Kelub woo Mehir. Mehir woo Eston.
12 Then Eshton conceived Bethrapha, and Paseah, and Tehinnah, the father of the city of Nahash. These are the men of Recah.
Eston woo Bet-Rafa, Paseah ne Tehina. Tehina woo Ir-Nahas. Yeinom ne Reka asefoɔ.
13 Now the sons of Kenaz were Othniel and Seraiah. And the sons of Othniel were Hathath and Meonothai.
Kenas mmammarima ne Otniel ne Seraia. Otniel mmammarima ne Hatat ne Meonotai.
14 Meonothai conceived Ophrah, but Seraiah conceived Joab, the father of the Valley of Artisans. For indeed, there were artisans there.
Meonotai woo Ofra. Na Seraia woo Yoab a ɔhyɛɛ Adwumfoɔ Bɔnhwa ase, ɛfiri sɛ, na adwumfoɔ pii tete hɔ.
15 Truly, the sons of Chelub, the son of Jephunneh, were Iru, and Elah, and Naam. And the sons of Elah: Kenaz.
Na Yefune babarima Kaleb mmammarima yɛ Iru, Ela ne Naam. Na Ela babarima yɛ Kenas.
16 Also, the sons of Jehallelel: Ziph and Ziphah, Tiria and Asarel.
Yehalelel mmammarima ne Sif ne Sifa, Tiria ne Asarel.
17 And the sons of Ezrah: Jether, and Mered, and Epher, and Jalon; and he conceived Miriam, and Shammai, and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemoa.
Ɛsra mmammarima yɛ Yeter, Mered, Efer ne Yalon. Mered waree Misraimni baa ma ɔwoo Miriam, Samai ne Yisba a ɔbɛyɛɛ Estemoa agya no.
18 And then his wife, Judaia, bore Jered, the father of Gedor, and Heber, the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel, the father of Zanoah. Now there were sons of Bithiah, the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married,
Mered nso waree ɔbaa a ɔfiri 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 Bitia a na ɔyɛ Misraimhene babaa.
19 and sons of his wife Hodiah, the sister of Naham, the father of Keilah the Garmite, and of Eshtemoa, who was from Maacathi.
Na Hodia yere yɛ Naham nuabaa. Ne mmammarima no mu baako na ɔwoo Keila a ɔyɛ Garmini na ɔbaako nso woo Estemoa a ɔyɛ Maakatni.
20 And the sons of Shimon: Amnon, and Rinnah, son of Hanan, and Tilon. And the sons of Ishi: Zoheth and Benzoheth.
Simon mmammarima ne Amnon, Rina, Ben-Hanan ne Tilon. Na Yisi asefoɔ no ne Sohet ne Ben-Sohet.
21 The sons of Shelah, the son of Judah: Er, the father of Lecah, and Laadah, the father of Mareshah, and the kindred of the house of the workers of fine linen in the house of the oath,
Na Sela yɛ Yuda mma no mu baako. Na Sela asefoɔ no ne Er a ɔwoo Leka, Lada a ɔwoo Maresa a na wɔyɛ nweratam ho adwuma wɔ Bet-Asbea,
22 and he who caused the sun to stand still, and the men of Lying, and Secure, and Burning, who were leaders in Moab, and who returned into Lehem. Now these words are ancient.
Yokim, Koseba mmarima, Yoas, ne Saraf a na wɔdi Moab ne Yasubi-Lehem so no. Saa edin yi nyinaa, wɔnya firii tete atwerɛ a na wɔatwerɛ agu hɔ mu.
23 These are the potters living in the Plantations and in the Hedges, with a king in his works, and they were dwelling there.
Na wɔyɛ nkukuonwomfoɔ a na wɔte Netaim ne Gedera. Na wɔn nyinaa yɛ nnwuma ma ɔhene.
24 The sons of Simeon: Nemuel and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul;
Na Simeon mmammarima no edin de Nemuel, Yamin, Yarib, Serah ne Saulo.
25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.
Na Saulo asefoɔ yɛ Salum, Mibsam ne Misma.
26 The sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.
Na Misma asefoɔ yɛ Hamuel, Sakur ne Simei.
27 The sons of Shimei were sixteen, and there were six daughters. But his brothers did not have many sons, and the entire kindred was not equal to the sum of the sons of Judah.
Simei woo mmammarima dunsia ne mmammaa baasia. Ne nuammarima no deɛ, na wɔn mu biara nni abusua kɛseɛ saa. Ɛno enti, Simeon abusua annɔre te sɛ Yuda abusua no.
28 Now they lived in Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual,
Wɔtenaa Beer-Seba, Molada ne Hasar-Sual,
29 and in Bilhah, and in Ezem, and in Tolad,
Bilha, Esem ne Tolad,
30 and in Bethuel, and in Hormah, and in Ziklag,
Betuel, Horma ne Siklag,
31 and in Beth-marcaboth, and in Hazarsusim, and in Bethbiri, and in Shaaraim. These were their cities until king David.
Bet-Markabot, Hasar-Susim, Bet-Biri ne Saaraim. Na saa nkuro yi nyinaa hyɛɛ wɔn ase kɔsii ɔhene Dawid berɛ so.
32 And their towns were Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities,
Wɔn asefoɔ nso tenaa Etam, Ain, Rimon, Token ne Asan a ɛyɛ nkurotoɔ enum yi so,
33 with all their villages, on every side of these cities, as far as Baal. This is their habitation and the distribution of the settlements.
ne ne nkuraaseɛ a atwa ho ahyia no kɔsii Baal. Na wɔn atenaeɛ nie, na wɔahyehyɛ saa edin yi nyinaa wɔ wɔn abusuadua nkrataa mu.
34 And there were Meshobab and Jamlech, and Joshah, the son of Amaziah,
Wɔn a wɔka Simeon asefoɔ ho no bi nso ne Mesobab, Yamlek ne Amasia babarima Yosa,
35 and Joel, and Jehu, the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel,
Yoɛl, Yosibia babarima Yehu a ɔyɛ Seraia babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Asiel babarima,
36 and Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah,
Elioenai, Yaakoba, Yesohaia, Asaia, Adiel, Yesimiel ne Benaia,
37 as well as Ziza, the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.
Sifi babarima Sisa a nʼagya yɛ Alon babarima, na ɔno yɛ Yedaia babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Simri babarima a nʼagya yɛ Semaia.
38 These were the names of the leaders in their kindred. And they were multiplied greatly within the houses of their marriages.
Edin a yɛabobɔ yi yɛ ntuanofoɔ a wɔdeda Simeon mmusuakuo a wɔyɛ adefoɔ no ano no bi.
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.
Wɔkɔɔ Gedor fam a na ɛwɔ bɔnhwa no apueeɛ fam sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ asase pa ama wɔn mmoa adidi so.
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.
Wɔnyaa mmoa adidibea pa wɔ hɔ. Na asase no so dwo na basabasayɛ biara nni hɔ. Na Ham asefoɔ no bi akɔtena Gedor fa mu hɔ dada.
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.
Yudahene Hesekia ɛberɛ so no, Simeon ntuanofoɔ no ko dii hɔ so, sɛee Ham ne Maonfoɔ afie pasaa. Wɔkumm obiara a na ɔte hɔ, faa asase no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔnya mmoa didibea pa no.
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.
Akofoɔ no mu ahanum a wɔfiri Simeon abusuakuo mu no kɔɔ bepɔ Seir so, a na Pelatia, Nearia, Refaia ne Usiel a wɔn nyinaa yɛ Yisi mmammarima no na na wɔdi wɔn anim.
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.
Amalekfoɔ kakra a wɔkaeɛ no, wɔkunkumm wɔn nyinaa, faa hɔ, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
