Yabesi akamlilia Mungu wa Israeli akisema, “Ee Mungu, laiti ungenibariki kweli kweli na kuipanua mipaka yangu! Mkono wako na uwe pamoja nami, uniepushe na uovu ili nisidhurike!” Naye Mungu akamjalia hayo aliyoyaomba.

Watu hawa walioorodheshwa hapa juu kwa majina walikuwa viongozi wa koo zao. Jamaa zao ziliongezeka sana,
39 They went near Gedor, on the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
wakaenea mpaka kwenye viunga vya Gedori kuelekea mashariki mwa bonde wakitafuta malisho kwa ajili ya mifugo yao.
40 They found abundant and good pasture. The land was broad, quiet, and peaceable. The Hamites had formerly lived there.

41 These just listed by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and attacked the Hamite settlements and the Meunites, who were there also. They destroyed them completely and lived there because they found pasture for their flocks.
Watu walioorodheshwa majina walikuja katika nchi hiyo wakati wa Hezekia mfalme wa Yuda. Akawashambulia Wahamu katika makao yao pamoja na Wameuni ambao walikuwako huko nao wakawaangamiza kabisa, kama ilivyo dhahiri hadi leo. Kisha wakafanya makazi yao huko kwa sababu kulikuwa na malisho mazuri kwa ajili ya mifugo yao.
42 From them, from the sons of Simeon, five hundred men went to Mount Seir with Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their leader.
Watu wa kabila la wa Simeoni wapatao mia tano, wakiongozwa na Pelatia, Nearia, Refaya na Uzieli wana wa Ishi, wakavamia nchi ya vilima ya Seiri.
43 They defeated the rest of the Amalekite refugees, and have lived there to this day.
Wakawaua Waamaleki waliobaki, waliokuwa wamenusurika, nao wanaishi huko hadi leo.
