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.
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.”
Ya: ibese ea hou da noga: idafa amola yolalia hou baligi esalu. Ea: me da ema Ya: ibese dio asuli. E amane sia: i, “Na da e lalelegeloba, se nabi.”
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.
Ya: ibese da Isala: ili fi ilia Godema amane wele sia: i, “Gode! Nama hahawane dogolegele fidima! Amola na esalebe soge bagalesima! Na fidima! Na se nabasa: besa: le noga: le gaga: ma!” Amola Gode da ea adole ba: su defele fidi.

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.

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.
Siaimone egefelali da A: manone, Lina, Bene Ha: ina: ne amola Dailone. Isiai egaga fifi misi da Souhede amola Bene Souhede.
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,
Yuda egefe Sila amo ea manolali da E (Liga ea eda), La: iada: (Malisia ea eda), abula amunasu dunu fi amo da Bede A: siebia sogega fifi lasu, Yougimi, dunu fi amo da Gosiba moilaiga esalu, Youa: sie (Moua: be soge ouligisu dunu) amola Sa: ila: fe (Yasiubailiheme soge ouligisu dunu). Amo sia: dedene legei da musa: hemonega dedei.
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.
23 They made pottery for the king; some of them lived in Netaim [town] and some of them lived in Gederah [town].
Amo dunu ilia da osoboga hamoi ofodo amola eno liligi hahamosu dunu galu. Ilia da Nidaime amola Gedila moilaiga esalu. Ilia da amogawi, hina bagade ea hawa: hamonanu.
24 Simeon’s sons were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
Simiane egaga fifi misi da Nemiuele, Ya: imine, Ya: ilibi, Sela amola Siuale.
25 Shaul’s son was Shallum. Shallum’s son was Mibsam. Mibsam’s son was Mishma.
Siuale egefe da Sia: lame. Sia: lame egefe da Mibisa: me. Mibisa: me egefe da Maisiama.
26 Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei.
Maisiama egaga fifi misi da egefe Ha: imiuele, Ha: imuele egefe Sa: ge amola Sa: ge egefe Simiai.
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.
Simiai da egefelali 16 galu amola uda mano gafeyale galu. Be yolalalia da mano bagahame galu. Amaiba: le, Yuda fi dunu idi da Simiane fi dunu idi amo baligi dagoi.
28 The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,
- Ilia moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu dio da Biasiba, Molada, Ha: isa Siuale, Biliha, Iseme, Doula: de, Bediuele, Homa, Sigela: ge, Bede Magabode, Ha: isa Susimi, Bede Bilai amola Sia: iala: ime. Ilia da amo moilai bai bagadega esalu amogainini Da: ibidi ili ouligi.
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
31 Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susim, Beth-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king.
32 They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
Ilia esalebe soge sisiga: le fifi lai da Ida: me, A:ini, Limone, Dagene, A:sia: ne (gilisili da moilai biyale galu), amola moilai fonobahadi eno ili sisiga: i, fifi ahoanu, Ba: ialade moilaiga doaga: i. Amo huluane da ilia ha: ini fi soge galu. Amola ilia fi dunu ilia dio huluane dedene momagele legei dialu.
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.
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.
Dunu amo da ilia sosogo fi ilima ouligibi esalu da Misiouba: be, Ya: melege, Yousia (A: masia mano), Youele, Yihiu (Yihiu ea eda da Yosiabaia, Yosiabaia ea eda da Sila: ia amola Siila: ia ea eda da A: isiele), Eliounai, Ya: iagouba, Yesiouha: ia, Asa: ia, A:idiele, Yesimaiele, Bena: ia amola Sisa (Sisa ea eda da Sifai, Sifai eda da A: lone, A:lone eda da Yeda: ia, Yeda: ia eda da Simili, Simili eda da Siema: ia.)
Dunu dio dabuagado dedei da ilia sosogo fi ouligisu. Ilia sosogo fi da dunu bagade fi.
39 They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
Ilia da Gila moilai bai bagade bega: asili, fagoa eso maba gusu amodili, ilia ohe fi ha: i manu soge amo hogola asi.
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.
Ilia da nasegagi soge noga: idafa ba: i. Soge da bagade amola lugului dialebe ba: i. Amo sogega musa: Ha: maide fi dunu da fifi lasu.
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.
Dunu amo ilia dio da dabuagado dedei, ilia da Yuda hina bagade Hesigaia ea ouligisu eso amo galu misi. Ilia da Ha: maide amola Miunaide fi dunu ilima doagala: le, gugunufinisi dagoi. Wali amo fi dunu da hamedafa esala. Amalalu, ilia da amo soge lale, ilia ohe fi oule fi.
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].
Amola Simiane fi dunu 500 agoane (ilia ouligisu dunu da Isiai egefelali amo Beladaia, Nialaia, Lifa: ia amola Asaiele) ilia da dunu amo da Sie goumi sogega esalu, amo doagala: i.
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].
Ilia da A: ma: legaide dunu amo da hobea: i, ili fane legei dagoi. Amola ilia da amogaiwane fifi ahoanu.
