Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Yabes a ɔyɛɛ ɔkɛse sen ne nuabarimanom nyinaa. Ne na too no din Yabes, efisɛ onyaa ɔyaw wɔ nʼawo mu.
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.

21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah [were], Er the father of Lecah, and Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of them that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea,

Na Saulo asefo yɛ Salum, Mibsam ne Misma.
26 And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei his son.
Na Misma asefo yɛ Hamuel, Sakur ne Simei.
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.
Simei woo mmabarima dunsia ne mmabea baasia. Ne nuabarimanom de, na wɔn mu biara nni abusua kɛse saa. Ɛno nti, Simeon abusua annɔ te sɛ Yuda abusua no.
28 And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual,
Wɔtenaa Beer-Seba, Molada ne Hasar-Sual,
29 And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,

30 And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,

31 And at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Beth-birei, and at Shaaraim. These [were] their cities to the reign of David.

32 And their villages [were], Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities:
Wɔn asefo nso tenaa Etam, Ain, Rimon, Token ne Asan a ɛyɛ nkurow anum yi so,
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.
Din a yɛabobɔ yi yɛ ntuanofo a wɔdeda Simeon mmusuakuw a wɔyɛ adefo no ano no bi.
39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, [even] to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
Wɔkɔɔ Gedor fam a na ɛwɔ obon no apuei fam sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ asase pa ama wɔn mmoa adidi so.
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.
Wonyaa mmoa adidibea pa wɔ hɔ. Na asase no so dwo na basabasayɛ biara nni hɔ. Na Ham asefo no bi akɔtena Gedor fa mu hɔ dedaw.
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.
Yudahene Hesekia bere so no, Simeon ntuanofo no ko dii hɔ so, sɛee Ham ne Meunifo afi pasaa. Wokum obiara a na ɔte hɔ, faa asase no, efisɛ, na wɔpɛ sɛ wonya mmoa didibea pa no.
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.
Akofo no mu ahannum a wofi Simeon abusuakuw mu no kɔɔ bepɔw Seir so, a na Pelatia, Nearia, Refaia ne Usiel a wɔn nyinaa yɛ Yisi mmabarima no na na wodi wɔn anim.
43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that had escaped, and have dwelt there to this day.
Amalekfo kakra a wɔkae no, wokunkum wɔn nyinaa, faa hɔ, na wɔtenaa hɔ.
