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.”
Jabez était plus honorable que ses frères. Sa mère lui donna le nom de Jabez, en disant: « Parce que je l'ai porté dans la douleur. »
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.
Jabez invoqua le Dieu d'Israël et dit: « Que tu me bénisses et que tu étendes mon territoire! Que ta main soit avec moi, et que tu me gardes du mal, afin que je ne fasse pas de mal! ». Dieu lui a accordé ce qu'il demandait.

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.

Fils de Mischma: Hammuel, son fils; Zaccur, son fils; Schimeï, son fils.
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.
Shimei eut seize fils et six filles; mais ses frères n'eurent pas beaucoup d'enfants, et toute leur famille ne se multiplia pas comme les enfants de Juda.
28 The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,
Ils habitaient à Beer Schéba, à Molada, à Hazarshual,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

à Bethuel, à Horma, à Tsiklag,
31 Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susim, Beth-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king.
à Beth Marcaboth, à Hazar Susim, à Beth Biri et à Shaaraïm. Ce furent là leurs villes jusqu'au règne de David.
32 They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
Leurs villages étaient Etam, Aïn, Rimmon, Tochen et Ashan, soit cinq villes,
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.
et tous les villages qui entouraient ces mêmes villes, jusqu'à Baal. Ce sont là leurs établissements, et ils ont conservé leur généalogie.
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.

Joël, Jéhu, fils de Joshibia, fils de Seraja, fils d'Asiel,
Elioénaï, Jaakoba, Jeshohaja, Asaja, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaja,
et Ziza, fils de Shiphi, fils d'Allon, fils de Jedaiah, fils de Shimri, fils de Shemaiah-
ces personnes mentionnées nommément étaient des princes dans leurs familles. Les maisons de leurs pères connurent un grand accroissement.
39 They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
Ils allèrent jusqu'à l'entrée de Gedor, à l'est de la vallée, pour chercher des pâturages pour leurs troupeaux.
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.
Ils trouvèrent de riches et bons pâturages, et le pays était vaste, tranquille et paisible, car ceux qui habitaient là auparavant descendaient de Cham.
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.
Ceux dont on a écrit le nom vinrent au temps d'Ézéchias, roi de Juda, et ils frappèrent leurs tentes et les Meunim qui s'y trouvaient; ils les détruisirent entièrement jusqu'à ce jour, et ils habitèrent à leur place, car il y avait là des pâturages pour leurs troupeaux.
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].
Une partie des fils de Siméon, cinq cents hommes, se rendirent à la montagne de Séir, avec pour chefs Pelatia, Nearia, Rephaja et Uzziel, fils de Jishi.
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].
Ils frappèrent le reste des Amalécites qui s'étaient échappés, et ils y ont vécu jusqu'à ce jour.
