[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).

They also lived in villages near those towns: Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan.
33 Ja kaikki ne kylät, jotka olivat niiden kaupunkein ympäristöllä Baaliin asti. Tämä on heidän asumasiansa ja sukukuntansa heidän keskenänsä.
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.
34 Ja Mesobab, Jamlek ja Josat Amatsian poika,
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.

36 Eljoenai, Jaekoba, Jesohaja, Asaja, Adiel, Jesimiel ja Benaja,
37 Ja Sisa Siphin poika, Allonin pojan, Jedajan pojan, Simrin pojan, Semajan pojan:
38 Nämät nimitettiin päämiehiksi sukukuntainsa seassa; ja heidän isäinsä huone hajoitti itsensä paljouden tähden.
39 Ja he menivät pois ja tulivat hamaan Gedoriin asti itäiselle puolelle laaksoa, etsimään laidunta lampaillensa.
They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
40 Ja he löysivät lihavan ja hyvän laitumen ja maan, joka oli avara ja lavia, rauhallinen ja levollinen; sillä Hamin lapset olivat ennen siellä asuneet.
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.
41 Ja jotka nimenomattain kirjoitetut olivat, tulivat Hiskian Juudan kuninkaan aikaan, ja he löivät muiden majat ja Meonilaiset jotka sieltä löydettiin, ja hävittivät heidät hamaan tähän päivään asti, ja asuivat heidän siallansa; sillä siellä olivat laitumet heidän lampaillensa.
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.
42 Ja silloin meni heistä liki viisisataa miestä, jotka olivat Simeonin lapsia, Seirin vuorelle; ja Pelatia, Nearia, Rephaja ja Ussiel Jisein lapset olivat heidän päämiehensä,
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].
43 Ja tappoivat päässeet ja jääneet Amalekilaisista, ja asuivat siinä tähän päivään asti.
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].
