1 Chronicles 4

1 the sons of Judah, Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal.

Libota ya Yuda: Peretsi, Etsironi, Karimi, Wuri mpe Shobali.

2 And, Reaiah son of Shobal, begat Jahath, and, Jahath, begat Ahumai, and Lahad. These, are the families of the Zorathites.

Reaya, mwana mobali ya Shobali, azalaki tata ya Yaati, mpe Yaati azalaki tata ya Awumayi mpe ya Laadi. Bango nde bazalaki bakoko ya bituka ya bato ya Tsorea.

3 And, these, were the sons of Etam, Jezreel and Ishma, and Idbash, —and, the name of their sister, was Hazzelelponi;

Tala bana mibali ya Etami: Jizireyeli, Yishima mpe Yidibashi. Kombo ya ndeko na bango ya mwasi ezalaki Atseleliponi.

4 and Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer, the father of Hushah. These, are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem.

5 And, Ashhur the father of Tekoa, had two wives, —Helah, and Naarah.

Kotsi azalaki tata ya Anubi mpe Atsobeba, mpe koko ya mabota ya Aareyeli, mwana mobali ya Arumi.

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.

Yaebetsi azalaki na lokumu mingi koleka bandeko na ye ya mibali. Mama na ye apesaki ye kombo « Yaebetsi » mpo na koloba: « Nabotaki yo na pasi. »

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.

Yaebetsi abelelaki Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele; alobaki: « Oh Yawe! Soki okoki kopambola ngai mpe koyeisa mabele na ngai monene! Tika ete loboko na Yo ezala likolo na ngai! Bomba ngai mosika ya mabe mpo ete namona pasi te. » Mpe Nzambe ayanolaki libondeli na ye.

11 And, Chelub the brother of Shuhah, begat Mehir, the same, was the father of Eshton.

Kelubi, ndeko mobali ya Shuwa, azalaki tata ya Meyiri oyo azalaki tata ya Eshitoni.

12 And, Eshton, begat Beth-rapha, and Paseah, and Tehinnah, the father of Ir-nahash. These, are the men of Recah.

Eshitoni azalaki tata ya Beti-Rafa, Paseya mpe Teyina oyo atongaki engumba Naashi. Bango nde bazalaki kovanda na engumba Reka.

13 And, the sons of Kenaz, were Othniel, and Seraiah, —and, the sons of Othniel, Hathath.

Bana mibali ya Kenazi: Otinieli mpe Seraya. Bana mibali ya Otinieli: Atati mpe Meonotayi.

14 And, Meonothai, begat Ophrah, —and, Seraiah, begat Joab, the father of Ge-harashim, for they were, craftsmen.

Meonotayi abotaki Ofira. Seraya abotaki Joabi, tata ya Ge-Arashimi. Bazalaki kobenga ye bongo, pamba te bato na ye bazalaki kosala misala ya maboko, ya kotula bibende na moto.

15 And, the sons of Caleb son of Jephunneh, were Iru, Elah, and Naam, —and the sons of Elah and Kenaz.

Mwasi na ye, moto ya Yuda, abotaki Yeredi, tata ya Gedori; Eberi, tata ya Soko mpe Yekutieli, tata ya Zanoa. Bango nde bazalaki bana mibali ya Bitiya, mwana mwasi ya Faraon, oyo Meredi abalaki.

19 And, the sons of the wife of Hodiah, the sister of Naham, were the father of Keilah, the Garmite, —and Eshtemoa, the Maacathite.

Bana mibali ya mwasi ya Odia, ndeko mwasi ya Naami: tata ya Keila, moto ya Garima; mpe Eshitemoa, moto ya mboka Maakati.

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

22 and Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash, and Saraph who ruled for Moab, and Jashubi-lehem, —but, the records, are ancient.

Yokimi, bato ya Kozeba, Joasi mpe Sarafi oyo bazalaki bakambi kati na Moabi mpe engumba Yashubi-Leemi. Nyonso oyo ezali makambo ya kala.

23 They, were the potters and the inhabitants of Netaim, and Gederah, —with the king in his work, dwelt they there.

Bazalaki basali mbeki oyo bazalaki kovanda na Netayimi mpe na Gedera; batikalaki kuna mpo na kosalela mokonzi.

24 The sons of Simeon, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul:

Bana mibali ya Simeoni: Nemueli, Yamini, Yaribi, Zera; Saulo, tata ya Shalumi;

25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.

26 And, the sons of Mishma, Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.

Bana mibali ya Mishima: Amueli, Zakuri mpe Shimei.

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.

Shimei azalaki na bana mibali zomi na motoba mpe bana basi motoba; kasi bandeko na ye ya mibali babotaki bana mingi te, yango wana etuka na bango ezalaki na bato ebele te lokola libota ya Yuda.

28 And they dwelt in Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual;

Bazalaki kovanda na Beri-Sheba, na Molada, na Atsari-Shuwali,

29 and in Bilhah, and in Ezem, and in Tolad;

na Bila, na Etsemi, na Toladi,

30 and in Bethuel, and in Hormah, and in Ziklag;

na Betweli, na Orima, na Tsikilagi,

31 and in Beth-marcaboth, and in Hazar-susim, and in Beth-biri, and in Shaaraim. These, were their cities unto the reign of David.

na Beti-Marikaboti, na Atsari-Suzimi, na Beti-Birei mpe na Shaarayimi: nyonso oyo ezalaki bingumba na bango kino na tango ya bokonzi ya Davidi.

32 And, their villages, were Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, —five cities;

Tala bingumba mitano mike oyo ezalaki zingazinga na yango: Etami, Ayini, Rimoni, Tokeni mpe Ashani;

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.

bakisa bamboka mike mosusu oyo ezingelaki bingumba yango kino na Baalati. Oyo nde ezalaki bisika na bango ya kovanda mpe molongo ya mbotama ya bakoko na bango.

34 And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah, the son of Amaziah;

35 and Joel, —and Jehu, the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel:

36 and Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah:

37 and Ziza, son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah.

Ziza, mwana mobali ya Shifeyi, mwana mobali ya Aloni, mwana mobali ya Yedaya, mwana mobali ya Shimiri, mwana mobali ya Shemaya.

38 These, introduced by their names, were leading men in their families. And, their ancestral house, brake forth exceedingly;

Bato oyo batangamaki na bakombo bazalaki bakambi ya bituka na bango. Mabota na bango ekomaki minene

39 so they went to the entering in of Gerar, unto the east of the valley, —to seek pasture for their flocks;

mpe bakendeki na zingazinga ya Gedori, na ngambo ya este ya lubwaku, mpo na koluka matiti ya koleisa bibwele na bango.

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.

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 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.

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, 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;

Bato ya Simeoni nkama mitano oyo bakambamaki na Pelatia, na Nearia, na Refaya mpe na Uzieli, bana mibali ya Yisheyi, babotolaki na makasi mokili ya bangomba Seiri,

43 and they smote the remainder that had escaped, of the Amalekites, —and dwelt there—[as they have] unto this day.

babomaki ndambo ya bato ya Amaleki oyo batikalaki mpe bavandaki kuna kino lelo.
