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.
Et Rhada son fils. Et Sobal engendra Jeth, et Jeth engendra Achimaï et Laad; les Arathites (Sarathéens) sont issus d'eux.
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.
Voici les fils d'Etham: Jezraël, Jesman et Jebdas; le nom de leur sœur était Eselebbon.
Et Phanuel fut le père de Gedor, et Jazer le père d'Osan. Voilà les fils de Hur, du premier-né d'Ephratha, père de Béthalaem.
5 [Hezron’s son] Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, had two wives whose names were Helah and Naarah.
Et Assur, père de Thécoé, eut deux femmes: Aoda et Thoada.
6 The sons of Asshur and his wife Naarah were Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari.
Et Aoda lui enfanta Ohaïe, Ephal, Thêman et Aasther; voilà tous les fils d'Aoda.
7 The sons of [Ashhur and his wife] Helah were Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan,

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.
Et Coé engendra Enob et Sabatha; le frère de Rhéchab, fils d'Iarin, est issu de lui.
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.”
Et Igabès fut plus illustre que ses frères, et sa mère lui donna le nom d'Igabès, disant: J'ai enfanté comme Gabès.
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.
Et Igabès invoqua le Dieu d'Israël, disant: Qu'il vous plaise de me bénir, et de me bénir, et de dilater mes limites; puisse votre main être avec moi; puissiez-vous faire connaître que vous ne m'abaisserez point. Et Dieu lui accorda tout ce qu'il avait demandé.
11 [Another descendant of Judah was] Shuhah. His [younger] brother Kelub was the father of Mehir. Mehir was the father of Eshton.
Et Caleb, père d'Ascha, engendra Machir; celui-ci, père d'Assathon,
12 Eshton was the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah. Tehinnah founded Nahash [town], but their families lived in Recah [town].
Engendra Bathraïas, Bessée et Thêman, père de la ville de Naas, frère d'Eselom, fils de Cenez; ce sont les hommes de Rhéchab.
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).
Et les fils de Cenez furent: Gothoniel et Saraia; et Gothoniel eut pour fils Athath.
Et Manathi engendra Gophera, et Sarah engendra Jobab, père d'Ageaddaïr; car ils étaient tous artisans.

Et sa femme Adia enfanta Jared, père de Gedor, et Aber, père de Sochon, et Hatiel, père de Zamon. Et Morad épousa Betthia, fille du Pharaon, et il en eut des fils.
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.
Et Iduée, sœur de Nachaïm, père de Cella, fut mère de Garmi, et d'Esthemon le Nohathite.
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.

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,
Fils de Sela, fils de Juda: Her, père de Léchab, et Laada, père de Marisa; les habitants d'Ephrathabac, qui appartient à la maison d'Esoba, sont issus d'eux,
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.
Et Joacin, et les hommes de Hozeba, et Joas, et Saraph: ceux-ci demeurèrent en Moab, et Dieu les en ramena; Abederin, Athouciim.
23 They made pottery for the king; some of them lived in Netaim [town] and some of them lived in Gederah [town].
C'étaient les potiers qui, avec le roi, habitaient Ataïm et Gadira; ils s'étaient enrichis dans ce royaume, et ils s'y étaient fixés.
24 Simeon’s sons were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
Fils de Siméon: Namuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zarès et Saül,
25 Shaul’s son was Shallum. Shallum’s son was Mibsam. Mibsam’s son was Mishma.
Salem son fils, Mabasam son fils, Masma son fils,
26 Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei.
Amuel son fils, Sabud son fils, Zacchur son fils, Sémeï 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.
Sémeï eut seize fils et six filles, et ses frères n'eurent pas beaucoup d'enfants. Et leurs familles ne se multiplièrent point comme les fils de Juda.
28 The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,
Et ils habitaient: en Bersabée, en Molada, en Esersual,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
En Balaa, en Esem et en Tholad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
En Bathuel, en Herma et en Sicelag (Sécelac),
31 Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susim, Beth-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king.
En Bethmarimoth, en Hemisuséosin et en la maison de Baruséorim; telles furent leurs villes jusqu'au roi David.
32 They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
Et leurs villages étaient: Etan, et Hin, et Rhemnon, et Thocca, et Esar; cinq villages.
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 leurs villages étaient autour des villes jusqu'à Baal: tel était leur domaine, et telle était sa distribution.
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.
Et Mosobab, et Jémoloch, et Josias, fils d'Amasias,
Et Johel, et Jéhu, fils d'Asabias, fils de Saraus fils d'Asiel,
Et Elionaï, et Jocaba, et Jasuïe, et Asaïe, et Jediel, et Ismaël, et Bananias,
Et Zuza, fils de Saphaï, fils d'Alon, fils de Jedia, fils de Semri, fils de Samaïe,
Furent ceux qui eurent le nom de chefs en leurs familles, et qui, en leurs maisons paternelles, se multiplièrent jusqu'à la multitude;
39 They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
Et ils partirent, et ils allèrent jusqu'à Gérara, à l'orient d'Haï, 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.
Et ils en trouvèrent d'excellents en abondance; et la contrée devant eux était vaste, et le calme et la paix y régnaient; car auparavant quelques fils de Cham seulement s'y étaient établis.
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.
Or, ceux dont les noms sont écrits ci-dessus, entrèrent chez eux au temps d'Ezéchias, roi de Juda; ils ruinèrent leurs demeures, ainsi que les Mineïens qu'ils y avaient trouvés, et ils les détruisirent entièrement, comme on le voit encore, et ils demeurèrent à leur place dans cette contrée, parce qu'il y avait des pâturages pour leur bétail.
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].
Et cinq cents hommes de ces fils de Siméon avec leurs chefs: Phalaetti, Noadie, Raphia et Oziel, fils de Jési, se transportèrent en la montagne de Seïr.
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].
Et ils exterminèrent les restes d'Amalec, qui ne s'en sont jamais relevés jusqu'à nos jours.
