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.”
Entre lesquelles il y eut Jahbets plus distingué que ses frères; et sa mère lui avait donné le nom de Jahbets, parce que, dit-elle, je l'ai enfanté avec travail.
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.
Or Jahbets invoqua le Dieu d'Israël, en disant: Ô! Si tu me bénissais abondamment, et que tu étendisses mes limites, et que ta main fût avec moi, et que tu me garantisses tellement du mal, que je fusse sans douleur. Et Dieu lui accorda ce qu'il avait demandé.

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 enfants de Kénaz furent, Hothniel et Séraja. Et les enfants de Hothniel, Hathath.
Et Méhonothaï engendra Hophra; et Séraja engendra Joab père de la vallée des ouvriers; car ils étaient ouvriers.

26 Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei.
Et les enfants de Mismah furent Hamuël son fils, Zacur son fils, et Simhi 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.
Et Simhi eut seize fils et six filles; mais ses frères n'eurent pas beaucoup d'enfants, et toute leur famille ne put être aussi nombreuse que celle des enfants de Juda.
28 The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,
Et ils habitèrent à Béer-sebah, à Molada, à Hatsar-stuhal,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
A Bilha, à Hetsem, à Tholad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
A Betuël, à Horma, à Tsiklag,
31 Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susim, Beth-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king.
A Beth-marcaboth, à Hatsarsusim, à Beth-birei, et à Saharajim. Ce furent là leurs villes jusqu'au temps que David fut Roi.
32 They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
Et leurs bourgades furent, Hétam, Hajin, Rimmon, Token, et Hassan, 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 leurs villages, qui étaient autour de ces villes-là, jusqu'à Bahal. Ce sont là leurs habitations, et 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.
Or Mésobab, Jamlec, Josa fils d'Amatsia;
Joël, Jéhu fils de Josibia, fils de Séraja, fils de Hasiel;
Eliohenaï, Jahakoba, Jésahaja, Hasaïa, Hadiël, Jésimiël, Bénéja.
Et Ziza, fils de Siphehi, fils d'Allon, fils de Jedaja, fils de Simri, fils de Semahja;
Etaient ceux qui avaient été nommés pour être les principaux dans leurs familles, lorsque les maisons de leurs pères multiplièrent beaucoup.
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 pour entrer dans Guédor, jusqu'à l'Orient de la vallée, cherchant 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 trouvèrent des pâturages gras et bons, et un pays spacieux, paisible, et fertile; car ceux qui avaient habité là auparavant étaient descendus de Cam.
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-ci donc qui ont été décrits par leurs noms, vinrent du temps d'Ezéchias Roi de Juda, et abattirent leurs tentes, et les habitations qui y furent trouvées, et les détruisirent à la façon de l'interdit, jusqu'à ce jour, et y habitèrent à leur place, car il y avait là des pâturages pour leurs brebis.
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 d'entr'eux, [c'est-à-dire], des enfants de Siméon, s'en allèrent en la montagne de Séhir, et ils avaient pour leurs chefs Pelatia, Néharia, Rephaia, et Huziël, enfants 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].
Et ils frappèrent le reste des réchappés des Hamalécites, et ils ont habité là jusqu'à aujourd'hui.
