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.

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.

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.

39 They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
Chule amaho hi Gerar gamkai langa akitol’uvin, phaicham gam'a niso lam geiyin jong acheuvin, akelngoi hon teu din hamhing um umna ahol’uvin ahi.
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.
Hikoma chun amahon gam phatah, hamhing thalhinna gam len tah, chule chamlenna le lung mong tah’a chenna thei akimuve. Hiche gam a ana cheng masa mite chu Ham son achilhah mi phabep anahi uvin ahi.
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.
Hinlah, Simeon insunga ama ama kailhah cheh’a haosa chapate chu hikoma hin Judah lengpa Hezekiah lengvaipoh layin ahung lut’uvin, hikoma anachengte Ham son achilhah phabep ho chule Meun mite ponbuh ho ahin, achennau in ho ahin, amuphah phah asumanguvin ahi. Hiti hin amaho chu asuhmang phat’uvin amaho khel’in anachenguvin, tuni gei hin amahon mun chu alo nalaiyuve. Ijeh-inem itileh hiche gam'a hi akelngoiteu neh ding hamhing pha amu’u ahi.
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].
Chuin, Simeon mite lah’a mihem ja nga tobang chu Seir molsang geiyin akitol’uvin, a lamkai diuvin Pelatiah le Neariah toh, Rephaiah, le Uzziel, abonchauva Ishi chapate chu anapansah uvin ahi.
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].
Amaho hin Amalek mi athimoh’a jamdoh chengse jong asumanguvin, chule amaho khel’in tuni geiyin acheng den tauve.
