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.
Reʼaayaan ilmi Sobaal abbaa Yahaatiiti; Yahaati immoo abbaa Ahuumaayii fi Laahadii ti. Isaan kunneen balbalawwan Zoraatotaa ti.
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.
Ilmaan Eexaam kanneenii dha: Yizriʼeel, Yishmaa fi Yidbaashi. Obboleettiin isaanii immoo Hazelelphoonii jedhamti.
Phenuuʼeel abbaa Gedoor; Eezer immoo abbaa Huushaam. Isaan kunneen sanyii Huuri ilma Efraataa hangaftichaatii fi abbaa Beetlihem sanaa ti.
5 [Hezron’s son] Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, had two wives whose names were Helah and Naarah.
Ashihuur abbaan Teqooʼaa niitota lama kanneen Heelaa fi Naʼaraa jedhaman qaba ture.
6 The sons of Asshur and his wife Naarah were Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari.
Naʼaraan ilmaan Ahuzaam, Heefer, Teemenii fi Haaʼahashitaar jedhaman deesseef. Ilmaan Naʼaraa isaan kanneen turan.
7 The sons of [Ashhur and his wife] Helah were Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan,
Ilmaan Heelaa: Zeret, Zooharii fi Etnaan;
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.
Qoosi abbaa Anuub, abbaa Hazobeebaa fi abbaa balbalawwan Ahariheel ilma Haaruumiti.
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.”
Yaabeex nama obboloota isaa caalaa ulfina qabu ture; haatii isaa, “Ani dhiphinaanan isa daʼe” jettee Yaabeex jettee isa moggaafte.
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.
Yaabeex immoo akkana jedhee Waaqa Israaʼelitti iyyate; “Ati na eebbisi; biyya koos naaf balʼisi! Akka ani hin miidhamnee fi akka ani dhiphina jalaa baʼuuf harki kee na wajjin haa jiraatu.” Waaqnis waan inni kadhate sana ni kenneef.
11 [Another descendant of Judah was] Shuhah. His [younger] brother Kelub was the father of Mehir. Mehir was the father of Eshton.
Kiluub obboleessi Shuhaa abbaa Mihiirii ti; Mehiir immoo abbaa Eshitooniti.
12 Eshton was the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah. Tehinnah founded Nahash [town], but their families lived in Recah [town].
Eshitoonis abbaa Beet Raafaan, abbaa Faasehaa fi Tehiinaa ti; Tahiinaan immoo abbaa Iir Naahaashii ti. Isaan kunneen namoota Reekaa ti.
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).
Ilmaan Qenaz: Otniiʼeelii fi Seraayaa. Ilmaan Otniiʼeel: Hataatii fi Maʼoonotaayi.
Meʼoonotaayi abbaa Ofraa ti. Seraayaan abbaa Yooʼaabii ti; Yooʼaab immoo abbaa Gee Haraashiimii ti. Maqaan kun sababii isaan ogummaa hojii harkaa qabaniif kennameef.
Ilmaan Kaaleb ilma Yefunee: Iiruu, Eelaa fi Naʼaam. Ilmi Eelaa: Qenaz.
16 [Another descendant of Judah was] Jehallelel. His sons were Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.
Ilmaan Yehaleliʼeel: Ziifii, Ziifaa, Tiiriyaa fi Asareel.
17 [Another descendant of Judah was Ezrah.] Ezrah’s sons were Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. Mered married Bithiah, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt. 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.
Ilmaan Izraa: Yeteer, Mered, Eeferii fi Yaaloon. Niitota Mered keessaa isheen tokko Miiriyaam, Shamaayii fi Yishibaa abbaa Eshtimoʼaa sana deesse.
Niitiin isaa dubartiin Yihuudaa sunis Yaared abbaa Gedoor, Hebeer abbaa Sookooniitii fi Yequutiiʼeel abbaa Zaanoʼaa deesse. Isaan kunneen ijoollee Bitiyaa intala Faraʼoon kan Mered fuudhe sanaa ti.
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.
Ilmaan niitiin Hoodiyaa obboleettiin Naham sun deesse: Abbaa Qeyiilaa namicha Garmii sanaatii fi Eshtimoʼaa namicha Maʼakaa ti.
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.
Ilmaan Simiʼoon: Amnoon, Riinaa, Ben-Haanaanii fi Tiiloon. Ilmaan Yishiʼii: Zoheetii fi Ben-Zoheetii ti.
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,
Ilmaan Sheelaa ilma Yihuudaa: Eer abbaa Leekaa, Laʼadaa abbaa Maareeshaatii fi balbalawwan Beet Ashibeeʼaatti warra wayyaa quncee talbaa haphii hojjetanii.
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.
Yooqiim, namoota Koozeebaa, Yooʼaashii fi Saaraaf isa Moʼaabii fi Yaashubiileheem bulchu. Barreeffamni kunneenis kan bara durii ti.
23 They made pottery for the king; some of them lived in Netaim [town] and some of them lived in Gederah [town].
Isaanis suphee dhooftuu Nexaayiimii fi Gedeeraa keessa jiraatan turan; jarri kun mootichaaf hojjechaa achi jiraatu ture.
24 Simeon’s sons were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.
Ilmaan Simiʼoon: Nemuuʼeel, Yaamiin, Yaariib, Zeraa fi Shaawul;
25 Shaul’s son was Shallum. Shallum’s son was Mibsam. Mibsam’s son was Mishma.
Shaluum ilma Saaʼuul ture; Mibsaam ilma Shaluumiti; Mishmaa immoo ilma Mabsaamiti.
26 Mishma’s son was Hammuel. Hammuel’s son was Zaccur. Zaccur’s son was Shimei.
Ilmaan Mishmaa: Ilma isaa Hamuuʼeel, ilma isaa Zakuurii fi ilma isaa Shimeʼii.
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.
Shimeʼiin ilmaan kudha jaʼaa fi intallan jaʼa qaba ture; obboloonni isaa garuu ijoollee hedduu hin qaban ture; sababii kanaaf balbalawwan isaanii hundinuu akka gosa Yihuudaa baayʼee hin turre.
28 The descendants of Simeon lived in [these cities and towns]: Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-Shual,
Isaanis Bersheebaa, Molaadaa, Hazar Shuuʼaal,
29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
Bilihaa, Ezem, Toolaad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
Betuuʼeel, Hormaa, Siiqlaag,
31 Beth-Marcaboth, Hazar-Susim, Beth-Biri, and Shaaraim. They lived in those places until David became king.
Beet Markaabot, Hazar Susiim, Beet Biirii fi Shaʼarayiim keessa jiraatan. Magaalaawwan kunneen hamma bara mootummaa Daawitiitti magaalaawwan isaanii turan.
32 They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
Akkasumas gandoota Eexaam, Ayin, Reemoon, Tookkenii fi Ashaan jechuunis magaalaa shananii fi
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.
gandoota naannoo isaaniitti argaman hunda keessa hamma Baʼaaliitti jiraatu ture. Kunneen iddoo isaan jiraatanii dha. Isaanis galmee hidda dhaloota isaanii kaawwatanii jiran.
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.
Meshoobaab, Yamleek, Yooshaa ilma Amasiyaa,
Yooʼeel, Yehuu ilma Yooshibiyaa, ilma Seraayaa, ilma Asiiʼeel,
akkasumas Eliiyooʼeenayi, Yaaʼiqoobaa, Yashoohayaa, Asaayaa, Aadiiʼeel, Yesiimiʼeel, Benaayaa,

Namoonni maqaan isaanii kanaa olitti himame kunneen hooggantoota balbala isaanii turan. Baayʼinni maatii isaaniis akka malee dabalaa dhufe;
39 They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
isaanis bushaayee isaaniitiif lafa dheedaa barbaacha hamma moggaa Gedoor kan gama baʼa sululaa jiru sanaatti deeman.
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.
Isaanis naannoo sanatti lafa dheedaa gabbataa fi gaarii argatan; lafni sunis balʼaa, kan nagaa fi tasgabbii qabu ture. Bara durii gosoonni Haamii naannoo sana jiraachaa turan.
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.
Namoonni maqaan isaanii dhaʼame kunneen bara Hisqiyaas mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa dhufan. Isaan akkuma hamma harʼaatti illee mulʼatu qubata Kaamotaatii fi Meʼuunoota achi jiraachaa turanii dhaʼanii guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessan. Ergasiis sababii lafa dheedaa balʼaa bushaayee isaaniitiif argataniif lafa jaraa irra ni qubatan.
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].
Simiʼoonota kanneen keessaa namoonni dhibba shan ilmaan Yishiʼii Phelaatiyaa, Naʼaariyaa, Refaayaa fi Uziiʼeel hoogganamanii biyya gaaraa Seeʼiir weeraran.
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].
Isaanis Amaaleqoota miliqanii hafan balleessanii hamma harʼaatti achuma jiraatan.
