9 Now it came to pass that Jabez was more honourable than his brethren, —but, his mother, had called his name Jabez, ["he causes pain"] saying, Because I bare him with pain.
Yabez xɔ ŋkɔ wu nɔvia bubuawo katã. Dadaa na ŋkɔe be, Yabez si gɔmee nye, “Vevesese” elabena dadaa se veve ŋutɔ le edzidzi me.
10 So then Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldst, indeed bless, me, and enlarge my boundary, and that thy hand might be with me, —and that thou wouldst work [to deliver me] from evil, that it be not my pain. And God brought about that which he asked.
Eyae do gbe ɖa na Israel ƒe Mawu be, “Oo, yram eye nàkpe ɖe ŋunye le nye dɔwɔwɔ me. Meɖe kuku, nɔ kplim le nu sia nu si mawɔ la me eye nàɖem tso nu vɔ̃ kple dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe sia ɖe me.” Mawu se eƒe gbedodoɖa.

27 And, Shimei, had sixteen sons, and six daughters, but, his brethren, had not many children, —nor did, any of their family, multiply so much as the sons of Judah.
Simei dzi viŋutsu wuiade kple vinyɔnu ade. Nɔviawo dometɔ aɖeke ƒe viwo mesɔ gbɔ alea o eye wo viwo mede esi Yudatɔ geɖewo dzina la nu o.
28 And they dwelt in Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual;

33 and all their villages that were round about these cities, as far as Baal. These, were their habitations, and they had their own genealogical register.

39 so they went to the entering in of Gerar, unto the east of the valley, —to seek pasture for their flocks;
eye woyi Gedor ƒe gbɔto le balime la ƒe ɣedzeƒe gome le gbeɖuƒe dim na woƒe lãhawo.
40 and they found pasture, fat and good, and, the land, was broad on both hands, and quiet, and secure, —for, of Ham, were the dwellers there aforetime.
Wokpɔ lãnyiƒe damawo, anyigba la keke nyuie, teƒe si ŋutifafa kple ɖoɖoezizi le. Hamitɔ aɖewo nɔ afi ma kpɔ.
41 But these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the Meunim who were found there, and devoted them, until this day, and dwelt in their stead, —for there was pasture for their flocks, there.
Ame siwo ƒe ŋkɔ woŋlɔ da ɖi la va le Yuda Fia Hezekia ƒe fiaɖuɣi. Woho aʋa ɖe Hamitɔwo ŋu le woƒe nɔƒewo nenema ke nye Meunitɔ siwo nɔ afi ma eye wotsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ abe ale si wòle dzedzem egbe ene. Wonɔ woƒe nɔƒe elabena lãnyiƒe nɔ afi ma na woƒe lãhawo.
42 And, some of them, of the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir, five hundred men, —with Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, sons of Ishi, at their head;
Le esia wɔwɔ vɔ megbe la, aʋawɔla siawo dometɔ alafa atɔ̃ tso Simeon ƒe ƒome la me yi Seir ƒe to la dzi. Woƒe kplɔlawo nye Pelatia, Nearia, Refaya kple Uziel. Wo katã wonye Isi ƒe viwo.
43 and they smote the remainder that had escaped, of the Amalekites, —and dwelt there—[as they have] unto this day.
Wowu ame ʋɛe siwo susɔ tso Amalek ƒomea me eye wotsi afi ma va se ɖe egbe.
