Og Reaja, son åt Sobal, vart far til Jahat, og Jahat vart far til Ahumai og Lahad; dette var soratit-ætterne.
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.

Og Kos vart far til Anub og Hassobeba, og ætterne hans Aharhel, son åt Harum.
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.”
Men Jabes var den gjævaste av brørne; mor hans hadde gjeve honom namnet Jabes, med di ho sagde: «Med verk og vande hev eg ått honom.»
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.
Og Jabes kalla på Israels Gud og sagde: «Um du vilde velsigna meg og auka landviddi mi og lata di hand vera med meg, og um du vilde bægja for det som vondt er, so eg slepp å kjenna nokon verk!» Og Gud let det verta soleis som han bad um.
11 [Another descendant of Judah was] Shuhah. His [younger] brother Kelub was the father of Mehir. Mehir was the father of Eshton.

Og Eston var far til Bet-Rafa, Paseah og Tehinna, far åt Ir-Nahas. Dette var mennerne frå Reka.
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).
Og sønerne hans Kenaz var Otniel og Seraja; og son åt Otniel var Hatat.
Og Meonotai fekk sonen Ofra, og Seraja fekk sonen Joab, far til ætti i Timbremannsdalen; for dei var timbremenner.

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.

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.

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.

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.
dessutan Jokim og mennerne i Kozeba og Joas og Saraf, som vart herre yver Moab, og dertil Jasubi-Lehem. Men dette høyrer til gamall tid.
23 They made pottery for the king; some of them lived in Netaim [town] and some of them lived in Gederah [town].
Dette var pottemakarane og folket Netajim og Gedera; dei budde der hjå kongen og var i hans arbeid.
24 Simeon’s sons were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
Sønerne hans Simeon var Nemuel og Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Saul.
25 Shaul’s son was Shallum. Shallum’s son was Mibsam. Mibsam’s son was Mishma.
Son hans var Sallum; hans son var Mibsam; hans son var Misma.
26 Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei.
Sønerne åt Misma var Hammuel, son hans, Zakkur, hans son, og Sime’i, hans son.
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.
Og Sime’i hadde sekstan søner og seks døtter; men brørne hans hadde ikkje mange born. Og heile ætti deira aukast ikkje so mykje som Juda-sønerne.
28 The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,
Og dei budde i Be’erseba og Molada og Hasar-Sual,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
i Bilha, Esem og i Tolad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
i Betuel, i Horma og Siklag,
31 Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susim, Beth-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king.
i Bet-Markabot, i Hasar-Susim, i Bet-Biri og i Sa’arajim. Dette var byarne deira alt til David vart konge.
32 They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
Og i landsbyarne deira var Etam og Ajin, Rimmon, Token og Asan, fem byar,
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.
og dertil alle bygderne deira som låg ikring desse byarne, alt til Ba’al; dette var bustaderne deira, og dei hadde ei ættarlista for seg sjølve.
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.
Og Mesobab, Jamlek og Josa, son åt Amasja,
og Joel og Jehu, son åt Josibja, son åt Seraja, son åt Asiel,
og Eljoenai, Ja’akoba, Jesohaja, Asaja, Adiel, Jesimiel og Benaja,
og Ziza, son åt Sifi, son åt Allon, son åt Jedaja, son åt Simri, son åt Semaja.
Desse som no er nemnde, var hovdingar i ætterne sine, og ættgreinerne deira breidde seg ut og vart mangmente.
39 They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
Og dei drog fram mot Gedor alt til austsida av dalen og skulde finna beite åt buskapen sin.
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.
Og dei fann feitt og godt beite, og landet var vidt og romt, og det var stilt og fredsamt; for dei som budde der fyreåt, var ætta frå Kham.
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.
Men desse som her er uppskrivne med namn, kom då Hizkia var konge i Juda, og øydelagde tjeldbuderne deira og hogg ned dei me’unitarne som der var, og bannstøytte deim, so dei no ikkje meir er til, og dei slo seg ned der i staden deira; for der var det beite for buskapen deira.
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].
Og det var fem hundrad mann av deim, av Simeons-sønerne, som for til Se’irfjelli, og Pelatja og Nearja og Refaja og Uzziel, sønerne hans Jisi, var fyregangsmennerne deira.
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].
Og dei drap den siste leivningen amalekitarne; so slo dei seg ned der, og bur der den dag i dag.
