40 And they found fat and good pasture, and a land widely extended and quiet and fertile, for they who had dwelt there formerly were of Ham.

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 And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their stead; for there was pasture there 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.

42 And five hundred men of them, of the sons of Simeon, went to mount Seir, having at their head Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Jishi,

43 and they smote the rest of the Amalekites that had escaped; and they dwelt there unto this day.
