1 Chronicles 4
1 The descendants of Judah were Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal.
| بَنُو يَهُوذَا: فَارَصُ وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي وَحُورُ وَشُوبَالُ. | ١ |
2 Shobal’s son was Reaiah. Reaiah was the father of Jahath, and Jahath was the father of Ahumai and Lahad. They were the ancestors of the Zorath people-group.
| وَرَآيَا بْنُ شُوبَالَ وَلَدَ يَحَثَ، وَيَحَثُ وَلَدَ أَخُومَايَ وَلَاهَدَ. هَذِهِ عَشَائِرُ ٱلصَّرْعِيِّينَ. | ٢ |
3 The oldest son of Caleb and his wife Ephrathah was Hur. Hur was the one who started/founded Bethlehem [town]. His three sons were Etam, Penuel, and Ezer. Etam’s sons were Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. Their sister was Hazzelelponi. Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer was the father of Hushah.
| وَهَؤُلَاءِ لِأَبِي عِيطَمَ: يَزْرَعِيلُ وَيَشْمَا وَيَدْبَاشُ، وَٱسْمُ أُخْتِهِمْ هَصَّلَلْفُونِي. | ٣ |
| وَفَنُوئِيلُ أَبُو جَدُورَ، وَعَازَرُ أَبُو حُوشَةَ. هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو حُورَ بِكْرِ أَفْرَاتَةَ أَبِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ. | ٤ |
5 [Hezron’s son] Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, had two wives whose names were Helah and Naarah.
| وَكَانَ لِأَشْحُورَ أَبِي تَقُوعَ ٱمْرَأَتَانِ: حَلَاةُ وَنَعْرَةُ. | ٥ |
6 The sons of Asshur and his wife Naarah were Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari.
| وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ نَعْرَةُ: أَخُزَّامَ وَحَافَرَ وَٱلتَّيْمَانِيَّ وَٱلْأَخَشْتَارِيَّ. هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو نَعْرَةَ. | ٦ |
7 The sons of [Ashhur and his wife] Helah were Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan,
| وَبَنُو حَلَاةَ: صَرَثُ وَصُوحَرُ وَأَثْنَانُ. | ٧ |
8 and Koz. Koz was the father of Anub, Hazzobebah, and the ancestor of the clans descended from Aharhel. Aharhel was the son of Harum.
| وَقُوصُ وَلَدَ: عَانُوبَ وَهَصُوبِيبَةَ وَعَشَائِرَ أَخَرْحِيلَ بْنِ هَارُمَ. | ٨ |
9 [There was another descendant of Judah whose name was] Jabez. [He] was more respected than his brothers were. His mother named him Jabez [which means ‘pain’] because she said, “I was enduring much pain when I gave birth to him.”
| وَكَانَ يَعْبِيصُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ. وَسَمَّتْهُ أُمُّهُ يَعْبِيصَ قَائِلَةً: «لِأَنِّي وَلَدْتُهُ بِحُزْنٍ». | ٩ |
10 [One day] he prayed to God whom his fellow Israelis [worshiped], saying, “Please greatly bless me and (enlarge my land/give me a lot of land/property). Remain [IDM] with me, and do not allow anyone to harm me. If you do that for me, I will not have any pain.” And God did what Jabez requested him to do.
| وَدَعَا يَعْبِيصُ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: «لَيْتَكَ تُبَارِكُنِي، وَتُوَسِّعُ تُخُومِي، وَتَكُونُ يَدُكَ مَعِي، وَتَحْفَظُنِي مِنَ ٱلشَّرِّ حَتَّى لَا يُتْعِبُنِي». فَآتَاهُ ٱللهُ بِمَا سَأَلَ. | ١٠ |
11 [Another descendant of Judah was] Shuhah. His [younger] brother Kelub was the father of Mehir. Mehir was the father of Eshton.
| وَكَلُوبُ أَخُو شُوحَةَ وَلَدَ مَحِيرَ. هُوَ أَبُو أَشْتُونَ. | ١١ |
12 Eshton was the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah. Tehinnah founded Nahash [town], but their families lived in Recah [town].
| وَأَشْتُونُ وَلَدَ بَيْتَ رَافَا وَفَاسِحَ وَتَحِنَّةَ أَبَا مَدِينَةِ نَاحَاشَ. هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ رَيْكَةَ. | ١٢ |
13 [Another descendant of Judah was] Jephunneh. His son was Caleb. Caleb’s sons were Iru, Elah, and Naam. Elah’s son was Kenaz. The sons of Kenaz were Othniel and Seraiah. Othniel’s sons were Hathath and Meonothai. Meonothai was the father of Ophrah. Seraiah was the father of Joab. Joab was the ancestor of the people who lived in Craftsmen’s Valley. The valley was named that because many of the people who lived there were (craftsmen/men who were experts in making things).
| وَٱبْنَا قَنَازَ: عُثْنِيئِيلُ وَسَرَايَا، وَٱبْنُ عُثْنِيئِيلَ حَثَاثُ. | ١٣ |
| وَمَعُونُوثَايُ وَلَدَ عَفْرَةَ، وَسَرَايَا وَلَدَ يُوآبَ أَبَا وَادِي ٱلصُّنَّاعِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا صُنَّاعًا. | ١٤ |
| وَبَنُو كَالِبَ بْنِ يَفُنَّةَ: عِيرُو وَأَيْلَةُ وَنَاعِمُ. وَٱبْنُ أَيْلَةَ قَنَازُ. | ١٥ |
16 [Another descendant of Judah was] Jehallelel. His sons were Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.
| وَبَنُو يَهْلَلْئِيلَ: زِيفُ وَزِيفَةُ وَتِيرِيَّا وَأَسَرْئِيلُ. | ١٦ |
17 [Another descendant of Judah was Ezrah.] Ezrah’s sons were Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. Mered married Bithiah, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt. The children of Mered and Bithiah were Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah. Ishbah was the father of Eshtemoa. Ezrah also had a wife from Judah. She gave birth to Jered, Heber, and Jekuthiel. Jered was the father of (OR, founded the town of) Gedor, Heber was the father of (OR, founded the town of) Soco, and Jekuthiel was the father of (OR, founded the town of) Zanoah.
| وَبَنُو عَزْرَةَ: يَثَرُ وَمَرَدُ وَعَافِرُ وَيَالُونُ. وَحَبِلَتْ بِمَرْيَمَ وَشَمَّايَ وَيِشْبَحَ أَبِي أَشْتَمُوعَ. | ١٧ |
| وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةُ وَلَدَتْ يَارِدَ أَبَا جَدُورَ، وَحَابِرَ أَبَا سُوكُوَ، وَيَقُوثِيئِيلَ أَبَا زَانُوحَ. وَهَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو بِثْيَةَ بِنْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مَرَدُ. | ١٨ |
19 Hodiah’s wife, who was Naham’s sister, bore two sons. One of them was the father of Keilah, the ancestor of the Gar people-group, and the other one was the father of Eshtemoa, the ancestor of the Maacath people-group.
| وَبَنُو ٱمْرَأَتِهِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ أُخْتِ نَحَمَ: أَبِي قَعِيلَةَ ٱلْجَرْمِيِّ وَأَشْتَمُوعَ ٱلْمَعْكِيِّ. | ١٩ |
20 [Another descendant of Judah was Shimon]. Shimon’s sons were Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-Hanan, and Tilon. [Another descendant of Judah was] Ishi. His descendants were Zoheth and Ben-Zoheth.
| وَبَنُو شِيمُونَ: أَمْنُونُ وَرِنَّةُ بْنُ حَانَانَ، وَتِيلُونُ. وَٱبْنَا يِشْعِي: زُوحَيْتُ وَبَنْزُوحَيْتُ. | ٢٠ |
21 One of Judah’s sons was Shelah. Shelah’s sons were Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah, the families of those who made things from linen at Beth-Ashbea,
| بَنُو شِيلَةَ بْنِ يَهُوذَا: عِيرُ أَبُو لَيْكَةَ، وَلَعْدَةُ أَبُو مَرِيشَةَ، وَعَشَائِرِ بَيْتِ عَامِلِي ٱلْبَزِّ مِنْ بَيْتِ أَشْبَيْعَ، | ٢١ |
22 Jokim, and the men of Cozeba [town], and Joash and Saraph, two men who married women from [the] Moab [region] and later lived in Bethlehem (OR, and ruled in Jashubi-Lehem). All their names and a record of what they did are written in very old scrolls.
| وَيُوقِيمُ، وَأَهْلُ كَزِيبَا، وَيُوآشُ وَسَارَافُ، ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَصْحَابُ مُوآبَ وَيَشُوبِي لَحْمٍ. وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ قَدِيمَةٌ. | ٢٢ |
23 They made pottery for the king; some of them lived in Netaim [town] and some of them lived in Gederah [town].
| هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْخَزَّافُونَ وَسُكَّانُ نَتَاعِيمَ وَجَدِيرَةَ. أَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِشُغْلِهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Simeon’s sons were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
| بَنُو شِمْعُونَ: نَمُوئِيلُ وَيَامِينُ وَيَرِيبُ وَزَارَحُ وَشَاوُلُ، | ٢٤ |
25 Shaul’s son was Shallum. Shallum’s son was Mibsam. Mibsam’s son was Mishma.
| وَٱبْنُهُ شَلُّومُ وَٱبْنُهُ مِبْسَامُ وَٱبْنُهُ مِشْمَاعُ. | ٢٥ |
26 Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei.
| وَبَنُو مِشْمَاعَ: حَمُوئِيلُ ٱبْنُهُ، زَكُّورُ ٱبْنُهُ، شِمْعِي ٱبْنُهُ. | ٢٦ |
27 Shimei had 16 sons and six daughters, but none of his brothers had many children. So the descendants of Simeon never were as many as the descendants of [his younger brother] Judah.
| وَكَانَ لِشِمْعِي سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ ٱبْنًا وَسِتُّ بَنَاتٍ. وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتُهُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ بَنُونَ كَثِيرُونَ، وَكُلُّ عَشَائِرِهِمْ لَمْ يَكْثُرُوا مِثْلَ بَنِي يَهُوذَا. | ٢٧ |
28 The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,
| وَأَقَامُوا فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ وَمُولَادَةَ وَحَصَرِ شُوعَالَ | ٢٨ |
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
| وَفِي بِلْهَةَ وَعَاصِمَ وَتُولَادَ | ٢٩ |
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
| وَفِي بَتُوئِيلَ وَحُرْمَةَ وَصِقْلَغَ | ٣٠ |
31 Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susim, Beth-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king.
| وَفِي بَيْتِ مَرْكَبُوتَ وَحَصَرِ سُوسِيمَ وَبَيْتِ بِرْئِي وَشَعَرَايِمَ. هَذِهِ مُدُنُهُمْ إِلَى حِينَمَا مَلَكَ دَاوُدُ. | ٣١ |
32 They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
| وَقُرَاهُمْ: عِيطَمُ وَعَيْنٌ وَرِمُّونُ وَتُوكَنُ وَعَاشَانُ، خَمْسُ مُدُنٍ. | ٣٢ |
33 There were other villages where they lived, as far [southwest] as Baalath [town]. Those were the places where they lived, and their names, according to the family records.
| وَجَمِيعُ قُرَاهُمُ ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنِ إِلَى بَعْلٍ. هَذِهِ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ وَأَنْسَابُهُمْ. | ٣٣ |
34 The men in the following list were the leaders of their clans: Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah, Joel, and Jehu the son of Joshibiah. Joshibiah was the son of Seraiah and the grandson of Asiel. Other clan leaders were Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, and Ziza. Ziza was the son of Shiphi and the grandson of Allon, who was the son of Jedaiah, who was the son of Shimri, who was the son of Shemaiah. Those families became very large/numerous.
| وَمَشُوبَابُ وَيَمْلِيكُ وَيُوشَا بْنُ أَمَصْيَا، | ٣٤ |
| وَيُوئِيلُ وَيَاهُو بْنُ يُوشِبْيَا بْنِ سَرَايَا بْنِ عَسِيئِيلَ، | ٣٥ |
| وَأَلِيُوعِينَايُ وَيَعْقُوبَا وَيَشُوحَايَا وَعَسَايَا وَعَدِيئِيلُ وَيَسِيمِيئِيلُ وَبَنَايَا | ٣٦ |
| وَزِيزَا بْنُ شِفْعِي بْنِ أَلُّونَ بْنِ يَدَايَا بْنِ شِمْرِي بْنِ شَمْعِيَا. | ٣٧ |
| هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوَارِدُونَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ رُؤَسَاءُ فِي عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمِ ٱمْتَدُّوا كَثِيرًا، | ٣٨ |
39 They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
| وَسَارُوا إِلَى مَدْخَلِ جَدُورَ إِلَى شَرْقِيِّ ٱلْوَادِي لِيُفَتِّشُوا عَلَى مَرْعًى لِمَاشِيَتِهِمْ. | ٣٩ |
40 They found good pastureland with plenty of grass. The place was peaceful and quiet. Previously the descendants of [Noah’s son] Ham had lived there.
| فَوَجَدُوا مَرْعًى خَصِبًا وَجَيِّدًا، وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَاسِعَةَ ٱلْأَطْرَافِ مُسْتَرِيحَةً وَمُطْمَئِنَّةً، لِأَنَّ آلَ حَامَ سَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ فِي ٱلْقَدِيمِ. | ٤٠ |
41 But while Hezekiah was the king of Judah, the leaders of the tribe of Simeon came to Gedor and fought against the descendants of Ham and destroyed their tents. They also fought against the descendants of Meun who were living there, and they killed all of them. So now there are no descendants of Meun living there. The descendants of Simeon started to live there, because there was good pastureland there for their sheep.
| وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةُ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي أَيَّامِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. وَضَرَبُوا خِيَمَهُمْ وَٱلْمَعُونِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا هُنَاكَ وَحَرَّمُوهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ لِأَنَّ هُنَاكَ مَرْعًى لِمَاشِيَتِهِمْ. | ٤١ |
42 Ishi’s four sons Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel led 500 other descendants of Simeon [and attacked the people who were living] in the hilly area of the Edom [region].
| وَمِنْهُمْ، مِنْ بَنِي شِمْعُونَ، ذَهَبَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سَعِيرَ خَمْسُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، وَقُدَّامَهُمْ فَلَطْيَا وَنَعْرِيَا وَرَفَايَا وَعُزِّيئِيلُ بَنُو يِشْعِي. | ٤٢ |
43 They killed the few descendants of Amalek who were still alive. From that time until now, the descendants of Simeon have lived in [the] Edom [region].
| وَضَرَبُوا بَقِيَّةَ ٱلْمُنْفَلِتِينَ مِنْ عَمَالِيقَ، وَسَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٤٣ |
