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

Bazzukulu ba Yuda abalala baali Pereezi, ne Kezulooni, ne Kalumi, ne Kuuli ne Sobali.

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

Leyaya mutabani wa Sobali n’azaala Yakasi, ne Yakasi n’azaala Akumayi ne Lakadi. Bano baali ba mu nnyumba ya Abazolasi.

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

Ne bano, be baali baganda ba Etamu, ne Yezuleeri, ne Isuma, ne Idubasi, ne mwannyinaabwe nga ye Kazzereruponi.

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.

6 And Naarah bare him Ahuzzam and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These, were the sons of Naarah.

8 And, Koz, begat Anub, and Zobebah, —and the families of Aharhel, the son of Harum.

ne Kakkozi eyali kitaawe wa Anubu, ne Zobeba, ate n’aba jjajja w’ennyumba ya Akalukeri mutabani wa Kalumu.

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.

Yabezi yali wa kitiibwa okusinga baganda be, ne nnyina n’amutuuma erinnya Yabezi amakulu nti, “Namuzaalira mu bulumi.”

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.

Yabezi n’akoowoola Katonda wa Isirayiri ng’agamba nti, “Ompeere ddala omukisa, ogaziye ensalo yange! Omukono gwo gubeere wamu nange, gunkuume obutagwa mu kabi konna, nneme okulumwa mu mutima.” Katonda n’addamu okusaba kwe.

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

Kerubu muganda wa Suwa, n’azaala Mekiri, ate nga kitaawe wa Esutoni.

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

Esutoni n’azaala Besulafa, ne Paseya, ne Tekina eyali omukulembeze wa Irunakasi. Bano be basajja ab’e Leka.

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

Batabani ba Kenazi baali Osuniyeri ne Seraya. Batabani ba Osuniyeri baali Kasasi ne Myonosaayi.

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

Myonosaayi n’azaala Ofula. Ate Seraya n’azaala Yowaabu, ne Yowaabu ye yali jjajja wa Gekalasimu abaalinga abaweesi.

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

18 And, his wife, the Jewess, bare Jered the father of Gedor, and Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel, the father of Zanoah.

Abo be baana ba muwala wa Falaawo Bisiya, Meredi gwe yali awasizza. Omukyala we Omuyudaaya yamuzaalira Yeredi kitaawe wa Gedoli, ne Keberi kitaawe wa Soko, ne Yekusyeri kitaawe wa Zanona.

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

Kodiya n’azaala abaana mu mwannyina wa Nakamu era be baali ekika kya Keyira Omugalumi ne Esutemoa Omumaakasi.

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

Batabani ba Simoni baali Amunoni, ne Linna, ne Benikanani, ne Tironi. N’ab’ennyumba ya Isi baali Zokesi ne Benizokesi.

21 the sons of Shelah, the son of Judah, Er, the father of Lecah, and Laadah, the father of Mareshah, —and the families of the house of them that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea;

Batabani ba Seera mutabani wa Yuda baali Eri eyazaala Leka, kitaawe wa Malesa, ate era jjajja w’ebika by’abo abaalukanga linena e Besiyasubeya,

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

Yokimu ye yali jjajja w’abasajja ab’e Kozeba, ne Yowaasi ne Salafu abaafuganga Mowaabu ne Yasubirekemu. (Ebigambo bino bya mu biseera bya dda).

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

Abo be baali ababumbi b’ensuwa abaabeeranga e Netayimu n’e Gedera, era baabeeranga mu lubiri lwa kabaka nga bamukolera.

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

Batabani ba Simyoni baali Nemweri, ne Yanini, ne Yalibu, ne Zeera ne Sawuli.

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

Mutabani wa Sawuli yali Sallumu, ne bazzukulu be nga be Mibusamu ne Misuma.

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

Mutabani wa Misuma yali Kammweri, eyazaala Zakkuli, nga ate jjajja wa Simeeyi.

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.

Simeeyi yalina abaana aboobulenzi kumi na mukaaga n’aboobuwala mukaaga, naye baganda be tebalina baana bangi, ekika kyabwe kyekyava tekyala nnyo ng’ekya Yuda.

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

Babeeranga mu Beeruseba, ne Molada, ne Kazalusuwali,

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

ne Biruka, ne Ezemu, ne Toladi,

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

ne Besweri, ne Koluma, ne Zikulagi,

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.

ne Besumalukabosi, ne Kozalususimu, ne Besubiri ne Saalayimu. Bino byali bibuga byabwe okutuusa Dawudi lwe yalya obwakabaka.

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

Ebyalo byabwe ebirala byali Etamu, ne Ayini, ne Limmoni, ne Tokeni ne Asani, byonna awamu by’ebitaano,

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.

n’ebyalo ebirala byonna ebyali byetoolodde ebibuga ebyo okutuukira ddala e Baali. Eyo gye baasenga era ne bakuuma ebyafaayo by’obujjajjabwe.

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

Mesobabu, ne Yamulaki, ne Yosa mutabani wa Amonya;

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

ne Yoweeri, ne Yeeku mutabani wa Yosibiya, muzzukulu wa Seraya, muzzukulu wa Asyeri.

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

Eriwenayi, ne Yaakoba, ne Yesokaya, ne Asaya, ne Adyeri, ne Yesimyeri, ne Benaya,

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

ne Ziza mutabani wa Sifi muzzukulu wa Alooni, muzzukulu wa Yedaya, muzzukulu wa Simuli, muzzukulu wa Semaaya.

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

Abo aboogeddwako baali bakulu ba bika byabwe. Ennyumba zaabwe ne zeeyongera nnyo.

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

Be basenguka okwolekera omulyango gwa Gedoli ekiri ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba lw’ekiwonvu, nga banoonya aw’okulundira ebisibo byabwe.

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.

Baalaba omuddo omugimu omulungi, n’ensi yali ngazi, ng’erimu emirembe era nga nteefu. Bazzukulu ba Kaamu be baaberangamu edda.

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.

Abasajja abo aboogeddwako baaliwo mu mirembe gya Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda, era baalumba eweema za bazzukulu ba Kaamu n’Abamewuni abaabeeranga omwo ne babazikiririza ddala, obutalekaawo muntu n’omu wadde ekintu kyonna. Ne babeeranga omwo kubanga waaliyo omuddo ogw’okuwa ebisibo byabwe.

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;

Awo abamu ku batabani ba Simyoni, abasajja enkumi ttaano nga bakulembeddwamu Peratiya, ne Neyaliya, ne Lefaya ne Wuziyeeri batabani ba Isi ne balumba Seyiri ensi ey’ensozi.

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

Era baazikiriza n’ekitundu ky’Abamaleki ekyali kisigaddewo, oluvannyuma ne basenga eyo, okutuusa olunaku lwa leero.
