Ụmụ Mishma mụrụ bụ Hamuel nwa ya, Zakua nwa ya na Shimei nwa ya.
27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children; so their tribe was not as large as that of Judah.

38 These were the names of the leaders of their families whose lineage increased significantly.
Ndị ikom ndị a e depụtara aha ha bụ ndị ndu ikwu ha. Ezinaụlọ ha mụbara nke ukwuu,
39 They went far as the border of Gedor on the east side of the valley to look for pasture for their flocks.
ha gakwara na mpụta Gedoa nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ndagwurugwu ịchọrọ igwe anụ ụlọ ha ebe ịta nri.
40 They found good pastureland there, and the area was open, quiet, and peaceful, for those who used to live there were Ham's descendants.
Ha chọtara ebe ịta ahịhịa anụ ụlọ mara mma, nke sara mbara, nke dị jụụ, bụrụkwa ebe nsogbu na-adịghị. Ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ Ham ebiela nʼebe ahụ na mbụ.
41 In the time of Hezekiah, king of Judah, the leaders listed above by name came and attacked these descendants of Ham where they lived, along with the Meunites there and totally destroyed them, as is clear to this very day. Then they settled there, because there was pastureland for their flocks.
Ndị ikom ndị a e dere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ bịara nʼoge Hezekaya na-achị dịka eze Juda. Ha busoro ụmụ Ham agha nʼebe obibi ha, busokwa ndị Meunim bi nʼebe ahụ agha, bibie ha kpamkpam, dịka ọ dị ruo taa. Emesịa ha bichiri ebe ahụ nʼihi na ebe ịta ahịhịa nke igwe anụ ụlọ ha nʼebe ahụ.
42 Some of these Simeonites invaded Mount Seir—five hundred men led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
Ọzọkwa, narị ndị ikom ise nʼime ndị a si nʼebo Simiọn, ndị ndu ha bụ Pelataya, Nearaya, Refaya na Uziel, ụmụ Ishi busoro obodo ugwu ugwu Sia agha.
43 They destroyed the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped. They have lived there to this very day.
Ha gburu ndị Amalek fọdụrụ ndụ nʼebe ahụ, bichie ala ahụ ruo taa.
