9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying: 'Because I bore him with pain.'
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 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying: 'Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that Thy hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest work deliverance from evil, that it may not pain me!' And God granted him that which he requested.

14 And Meonothai begot Ophrah; and Seraiah begot Joab the father of Ge-harashim; for they were craftsmen.

20 And the sons of Shimon: Amnon, and Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. And the sons of Ishi: Zoheth, and Ben-zoheth.

21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, and Ladah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of them that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea;
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 Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had dominion in Moab, and Jashubi-lehem. And the records are ancient.

23 These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plantations and hedges; there they dwelt occupied in the king's work.

26 And the sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.
Na Misma asefoɔ yɛ Hamuel, Sakur ne Simei.
27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children 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 And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual;
Wɔtenaa Beer-Seba, Molada ne Hasar-Sual,
29 and at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad;

30 and at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag;
Betuel, Horma ne Siklag,
31 and at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Beth-biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.

32 And their villages 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 and all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto Baal. These were their habitations, and they have their genealogy.

39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture 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 pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they that dwelt there aforetime were of Ham.
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 And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the Meunim that were found there, and destroyed them utterly, unto this day, and dwelt in their stead; because there was pasture there for their flocks.
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 And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains 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 smote the remnant of the Amalekites that escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.
Amalekfoɔ kakra a wɔkaeɛ no, wɔkunkumm wɔn nyinaa, faa hɔ, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
