Yabezi yali wa kitiibwa okusinga baganda be, ne nnyina n’amutuuma erinnya Yabezi amakulu nti, “Namuzaalira mu bulumi.”

10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldst bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldst keep [me] from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

Yabezi n’akoowoola Katonda wa Isirayiri ng’agamba nti, “Ompeere ddala omukisa, ogaziye ensalo yange! Omukono gwo gubeere wamu nange, gunkuume obutagwa mu kabi konna, nneme okulumwa mu mutima.” Katonda n’addamu okusaba kwe.

23 These [were] the potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work.

27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family multiply, like the children of Judah.

Simeeyi yalina abaana aboobulenzi kumi na mukaaga n’aboobuwala mukaaga, naye baganda be tebalina baana bangi, ekika kyabwe kyekyava tekyala nnyo ng’ekya Yuda.

28 And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual,

32 And their villages [were], Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities:

Ebyalo byabwe ebirala byali Etamu, ne Ayini, ne Limmoni, ne Tokeni ne Asani, byonna awamu by’ebitaano,

33 And all their villages that [were] around the same cities to Baal. These [were] their habitations, and their genealogy.

38 These mentioned by [their] names [were] princes in their families: and the house of their fathers increased greatly.

Abo aboogeddwako baali bakulu ba bika byabwe. Ennyumba zaabwe ne zeeyongera nnyo.

39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, [even] to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

Be basenguka okwolekera omulyango gwa Gedoli ekiri ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba lw’ekiwonvu, nga banoonya aw’okulundira ebisibo byabwe.

40 And they found rich pasture and good, and the land [was] wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for [they] of Ham had dwelt there of old.

Baalaba omuddo omugimu omulungi, n’ensi yali ngazi, ng’erimu emirembe era nga nteefu. Bazzukulu ba Kaamu be baaberangamu edda.

41 And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly to this day, and dwelt in their room: because [there was] pasture there for their flocks.

Abasajja abo aboogeddwako baaliwo mu mirembe gya Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda, era baalumba eweema za bazzukulu ba Kaamu n’Abamewuni abaabeeranga omwo ne babazikiririza ddala, obutalekaawo muntu n’omu wadde ekintu kyonna. Ne babeeranga omwo kubanga waaliyo omuddo ogw’okuwa ebisibo byabwe.

42 And [some] of them, [even] of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

Awo abamu ku batabani ba Simyoni, abasajja enkumi ttaano nga bakulembeddwamu Peratiya, ne Neyaliya, ne Lefaya ne Wuziyeeri batabani ba Isi ne balumba Seyiri ensi ey’ensozi.

43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that had escaped, and have dwelt there to this day.

Era baazikiriza n’ekitundu ky’Abamaleki ekyali kisigaddewo, oluvannyuma ne basenga eyo, okutuusa olunaku lwa leero.
