Reaja, fis a Shobal la, te vin papa a Jachath; Jachath te fè Achumaï avèk Lahad. Sila yo se te fanmi a Soreatyen yo.
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.
Men desandan a Étham yo: Jizreel, Jischma ak Jidbach; sè yo te rele Hatselelponi.

Kots te fè Anub avèk Hatsobéba ak fanmi a Acharchel yo, fis a Harum yo.
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.”
Jaebets te gen plis onè pase frè li yo e manman li te rele li Jaebets epi te di: “akoz mwen te fè l avèk gwo doulè”.
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.
Jaebets te rele Bondye Israël la epi te di: “O ke Ou beni mwen, anverite e agrandi lizyè mwen e ke men Ou avè m, ke Ou pwoteje m de mal pou m pa ta twouble akoz li.” Epi Bondye te bay li sa li te mande a.
11 [Another descendant of Judah was] Shuhah. His [younger] brother Kelub was the father of Mehir. Mehir was the father of Eshton.
Kelub, frè a Schucha a, te fè Mechir ki te papa a Eschthon.
12 Eshton was the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah. Tehinnah founded Nahash [town], but their families lived in Recah [town].
Eschthon te soti lakay Rapha, Paséach ak Thechinna, papa a Nachasch. Sila yo se te moun a Réca yo.
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).
Alò, fis a Kenaz yo: Othniel avèk Seraja. Fis a Othniel la: Hathath.
Meonothaï te fè Ophra. Seraja te fè Joab, papa a atizan yo; paske li menm te yon atizan.

The children of Mered and Bithiah were Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah. Ishbah was the father of Eshtemoa. Ezrah also had a wife from Judah. She gave birth to Jered, Heber, and Jekuthiel. Jered was the father of (OR, founded the town of) Gedor, Heber was the father of (OR, founded the town of) Soco, and Jekuthiel was the father of (OR, founded the town of) Zanoah.

Madanm li, Juif te fè Jéred, papa a Guedor, Héber, papa a Soco, avèk Jekuthiel, papa a Zanoach.
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.
Fis a madanm a Hodija yo, sè a Nacham nan, se te zansèt a Kehila yo, Gamyen yo, ak Eschthemoa, Maakatyen yo.
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.
Fis a Simon yo: Amnon, Rinna, Ben-Hanan ak Thilon. Epi fis a Jischeï yo: Zocheth ak Ben-Zocheth.
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,
Fis a Schéla yo, ki te fis a Juda a: Er, papa a Léca, Laeda, papa a Maréscha, avèk fanmi lakay travayè twal nan Béth-Aschbéa yo,
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.
avèk Jokim, mesye a Cozéba yo, Joas ak Saraph, ki te renye Moab avèk Jaschubi-Léchem. Achiv sila yo tèlman ansyen.
23 They made pottery for the king; some of them lived in Netaim [town] and some of them lived in Gederah [town].
Sila yo se te moun ki te fè veso ajil ki te abite Netayaim avèk Gedera; yo te rete la avèk wa a pou fè travay li.
24 Simeon’s sons were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
Fis a Siméon yo: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zérach, Saül.
25 Shaul’s son was Shallum. Shallum’s son was Mibsam. Mibsam’s son was Mishma.
Schallum, fis li a. Mibsam, fis li a.
26 Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei.
Fis a Mischma yo: Hammuel, fis li a, Zaccur, fis li a ak Schimeï, fis li a.
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.
Schimeï te gen sèz fis avèk sis fi. Frè li yo pa t fè anpil fis, ni fanmi pa yo pa t miltipliye kon fis a Juda yo.
28 The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,
Yo te rete Beer-Schéba, nan Molada ak nan Hatsar-Schual,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
nan Bilha, nan Etsem, nan Tholad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
nan Bethuel, nan Horma, nan Tsiklag,
31 Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susim, Beth-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king.
nan Beth-Marcaboth, nan Hatsar-Susim, nan Beth-Bireï ak nan Schaaraïm. Sila yo se te vil pa yo jiska règn a wa David la.
32 They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
Vilaj pa yo te Etham, Ain, Rimmon, Thoken ak Aschan, senk vil yo;
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.
epi tout vil pa yo ki te antoure menm vil sila yo jis rive Baal. Se te anplasman pa yo e yo genyen istwa zansèt pa yo.
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.
Meschobab, Jamlec, Joscha, fis a Amatsia a;
epi Joël avèk Jéhu, fis a Joschibia a, fis a Seraia a, fis a Asiel la;
Eljoénaï, Jaakoba, Jeschochaja, Asaja, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaja,
Ziza, fis a Allon an, fis a Jedaja a, fis a Schimri a, fis a Schemaeja a.
Sila ki mansyone pa non yo se te chèf lakay fanmi pa yo; epi lakay zansèt pa yo te chèf nan fanmi pa yo e lakay fanmi pa yo te grandi anpil.
39 They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
Yo te rive jis nan antre Guedor, jis nan kote lès a vale a pou chache patiraj pou twoupo pa yo.
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.
Yo te jwenn pa yo ki te trè rich e trè bon, peyi a te vas e kalm, epi te gen lapè; paske sila ki te rete la oparavan yo te desandan 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.
Sila yo, dechifre pa non te vini nan jou a Ézéchias yo, wa Juda a e te atake tant pa yo e avèk Mawonit ki te rete la yo, te detwi yo nèt jis rive jou sa a pou te rete nan plas pa yo, akoz te gen patiraj pou twoupo pa yo.
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].
Sòti nan yo, depi nan fis Siméon, senk-san mesye te monte nan Mòn Séir avèk Pelathia, Nearia, Rephaja e Uziel, fis a Jischeï a.
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].
Yo te detwi retay Amalekit ki te chape yo e te rete la jis rive jodi a.
