1 Men non lòt pitit gason Jida te gen: Perèz, Ezwon, Kami, Our ak Chobal.

And the sons of Juda; Phares, Esrom, and Charmi, and Or, Subal,

2 Chobal te papa Reaja, Reaja te papa Jakat, Jakat te papa Akoumayi ak Laad. Se yo ki zansèt moun ki rete lavil Zora.

and Rada his son; and Subal begot Jeth; and Jeth begot Achimai, and Laad: these [are] the generations of the Arathites.

3 Etam te pitit Our. Se li ki papa Jizreyèl, Ichma, Idbak ak yon pitit fi yo rele Azelèl-poni.

And these [are] the sons of Aetam; Jezrael and Jesman, and Jebdas: and their sister's name [was] Eselebbon.

4 Penwèl, yon lòt pitit Our, te papa Gedò. Ezè, yon lòt pitit Our, te papa Oucha. Our te premye pitit Efrata, madan Kalèb. Se branch fanmi l' lan ki te bati lavil Betleyèm.

And Phanuel the father of Gedor, and Jazer the father of Osan: these [are] the sons of Or, the first-born of Ephratha, the father of Baethalaen.

5 Achou, ki te bati lavil Tekoa, te gen de madanm: Ela ak Nara.

And Asur the father of Thecoe had two wives, Aoda and Thoada.

6 Nara te fè kat pitit gason pou li. Se te Aouzam, Efè, Temeni ak Ayachtari.

And Aoda bore to him Ochaia, and Ephal, and Thaeman, and Aasther: all these [were] the sons of Aoda.

8 Kòz te papa Anoub ak Zobeba. Se li ki zansèt tout branch fanmi Arèl, pitit gason Awoum.

And Coe begot Enob, and Sabatha, and the progeny of the brother of Rechab, the son of Jarin.

9 Te gen yon moun yo te rele Jabez. Nan tout fanmi l', se li menm yo te pi respekte. Manman l' te rele l' konsa, paske li te soufri anpil lè li t'ap fè l'.

And Igabes was more famous than his brethren; and his mother called his name Igabes, saying, I have born as a sorrowful one.

10 Men Jabèz te lapriyè Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, li te di l': -Tanpri, Bondye, beni mwen. Ban m' anpil tè. Kanpe la ave m'. Pa kite ankenn malè rive m' pou m' pa soufri. Se konsa Bondye ba li sa l' te mande a.

And Igabes called on the God of Israel, saying, O that thou wouldest indeed bless me, and enlarge my coasts, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest make me know that thou wilt not grieve me! And God granted him all that he asked.

11 Keloub, frè Choula, te gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Meyi. Meyi te papa Echton.

And Chaleb the father of Ascha begot Machir; he [was] the father of Assathon.

12 Echton te papa Betrafa, Pasea ak Techima. Se Techima ki te tabli lavil Nagach. Se fanmi moun sa yo ki rete lavil Reka.

He begot Bathraias, and Bessee, and Thaeman the founder of the city of Naas the brother of Eselom the Kenezite: these [were] the men of Rechab.

13 Kenaz te gen de pitit gason: Otnyèl ak Seraja. Otnyèl te gen de pitit gason tou: Atat ak Meonotayi.

And the sons of Kenez; Gothoniel, and Saraia: and the sons of Gothoniel; Athath.

14 Meonotayi te papa Ofra. Seraja te papa Joab, zansèt moun ki rete nan fon Bòs Atizan yo. Tout moun sa yo te bòs nan metye yo.

And Manathi begot Gophera: and Saraia begot Jobab, the father of Ageaddair, for they were artificers.

15 Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune, te gen twa pitit gason pou tèt pa l': Iwou, Ela ak Nam. Ela te papa Kenaz.

And the sons of Aleel, Zib, and Zepha, and Thiria, and Eserel.

17 Esdras te gen kat pitit gason: Jetè, Merèd, Efè ak Jalou. Merèd marye ak Bitya, yonn nan pitit fi farawon peyi Lejip la. Yo fè yon pitit fi, Miryam, ak de pitit gason: Chamayi ak Ichba. Ichba te papa Estemoa.

And the sons of Esri; Jether, Morad, and Apher, and Jamon: and Jether begot Maron, and Semei, and Jesba the father of Esthaemon.

18 Merèd te pran yon fanm nan branch fanmi Jida a tou pou madanm. Madanm sa a ba li twa pitit gason: Jerèd, papa Gedò, Ebè, papa Soko, ak Jekoutiyèl, papa Zanoa.

And his wife, that [is] Adia, bore Jared the father of Gedor, and Aber the father of Sochon, and Chetiel the father of Zamon: and these [are] the sons of Betthia the daughter of Pharao, whom Mored took.

19 Odija marye ak sè Naam lan. Se pitit yo ki zansèt branch fanmi moun Gram yo ki te rete lavil Kejila, ak branch fanmi moun Makat yo ki te rete lavil Estemoa.

And the sons of the wife of Iduia the sister of Nachaim the father of Keila; Garmi, and Esthaemon the Nochathite.

20 Chimon te gen kat pitit gason: Amnon, Rina, Bennanan ak Tilon. Icheyi te gen de pitit gason: Zoet ak Bennzoèt.

And the sons of Semon; Amnon, and Ana the son of Phana, and Inon: and the sons of Sei, Zoan, and the sons of Zoab.

21 Men moun ki nan branch fanmi Chela, pitit Jida a: Er, papa Leka, Lada, papa Marecha, branch fanmi moun ki fè bon twal fin nan lavil Bètachbea yo.

The sons of Selom the son of Juda; Er the father of Lechab, and Laada the father of Marisa, and the offspring of the family of Ephrathabac [belonging to] the house of Esoba.

22 Jokim, moun ki rete lavil Kozeba, Joas ak Saraf. Moun sa yo te marye ak fanm moun peyi Moab, lèfini yo tounen vin rete lavil Betleyèm, dapre sa moun lontan yo ap repete.

And Joakim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joas, and Saraph, who dwelt in Moab, and he changed their names to Abederin and Athukiim.

23 Se moun ki te konn fè veso an tè. Yo te rete lavil Netayim ak lavil Gedera. Se yo ki te konn travay pou wa a.

These [are] the potters who dwelt in Ataim and Gadira with the king: they grew strong in his kingdom, and dwelt there.

24 Simeyon te gen senk pitit gason: Nemwèl, Jamen, Jarib, Zera ak Sayil.

The sons of Semeon; Namuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zares, Saul:

25 Sayil te papa Chaloum, Chaloum te papa Mibsam, Mibsam te papa Michma,

Salem his son, Mabasam his son, Masma his son:

26 Michma te papa Amwèl, Amwèl te papa Zakou, Zakou te papa Chimeyi.

Amuel his son, Sabud his son, Zacchur his son, Semei his son.

27 Chimeyi te gen sèz pitit gason ak sis pitit fi. Men lòt frè l' yo pa t' fè anpil pitit. Se konsa branch fanmi Simeyon an pa t' rive gen menm kantite moun ak branch fanmi Jida a.

Semei [had] sixteen sons, and six daughters; and his brethren had not many sons, neither did all their families multiply as the sons of Juda.

28 Rive sou rèy wa David, moun branch fanmi Simeyon yo te rete nan lavil sa yo: Becheba, Molada, Azachwal,

And they dwelt in Bersabee, and Molada, and in Esersual,

29 Bila, Ezèm, Tolad,

and in Balaa, and in Aesem, and in Tholad,

30 Betwèl, Oma, Zikla,

and in Bathuel, and in Herma, and in Sikelag,

31 Bètmakabòt, Azasousim, Bètbireyi ak Charayim.

and in Baethmarimoth, and Hemisuseosin, and the house of Baruseorim: these [were] their cities until [the time of] king David.

32 Yo te rete nan senk lòt kote apre sa: Etam, Ayin, Rimon, Tochenn ak Achan,

And their villages [were] Aetan, and En, Remnon, and Thocca, and Aesar, five cities.

33 ak tout ti bouk ki nan vwazinaj yo, rive lavil Balat, nan direksyon sid. Tou sa se kote yo t'ap viv ak liv rejis fanmi yo.

And all their villages [were] round about these cities, as far as Baal: this [was] their possession, and their distribution.

34 Men moun ki te chèf branch fanmi Simeyon yo: Mechobab, Jamlèk, Jocha, pitit gason Amazya,

And Mosobab, and Jemoloch, and Josia the son of Amasia;

35 ak Joèl, Jeou, pitit gason Jozibyas ki te pitit Seraja, pitit pitit Asiyèl,

and Joel, and Jeu the son of Asabia, the son of Sarau, the son of Asiel;

36 Elioenayi, Jakoba, Jekoaja, Asaya, Adyèl, Jezimyèl, Benaja,

and Elionai, and Jocaba, and Jasuia, and Asaia, and Jediel, and Ismael, and Banaias;

37 Ziza, pitit gason Chifi, ki te pitit gason Alon. Alon sa a te pitit Jedaja. Jedaja menm te pitit Chimri ki te pitit Chemaja.

and Zuza the son of Saphai, the son of Alon, the son of Jedia, the son of Semri, the son of Samaias.

38 Tout moun nou sot nonmen la yo te chèf nan fanmi yo. Branch fanmi an t'ap peple toujou.

These went by the names of princes in their families, and they increased abundantly in their fathers' households.

39 Y' al chache patiraj pou mouton yo toupre lavil Gedò, sou bò solèy leve nan fon kote lavil la ye a.

And they went till they came to Gerara, to the east of Gai, to seek pasture for their cattle.

40 La, yo jwenn yon bon patiraj ki te fre nan yon plenn kote ki pa t' gen bri ni dezòd. Se la moun branch fanmi Kam yo te rete nan tan lontan.

And they found abundant and good pastures, and the land before them [was] wide, and [there was] peace and quietness; for [there were] some of the children of Cham who dwelt there before.

41 Sou rèy Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida, moun nou sot bay non yo la a rive lavil Gedò, yo touye moun fanmi Kam yo nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye. Yo detwi tout lavil la ak ti joupa moun yo. Yo pran plas moun yo nan peyi a, paske te gen anpil bon patiraj pou mouton ak kabrit yo.

And these who are written by name came in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and they smote the people's houses, and the Minaeans whom they found there, and utterly destroyed them until this day: and they dwelt in their place, because [there was] pasture there for their cattle.

42 Senksan (500) lòt moun nan branch fanmi Simeyon an pati pou mòn Seyi, nan peyi Edon. Yo te gen pou chèf kat pitit gason Icheyi yo: Pelatya, Nearya, Refaja ak Ouzyèl.

And some of them, [even] of the sons of Symeon, went to mount Seir, [even] five hundred men; and Phalaettia, and Noadia, and Raphaia, and Oziel, sons of Jesi, [were] their rulers.

43 Lè yo rive, yo touye rès moun Amalèk yo. Depi lè sa a se la yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.

And they smote the remnant that were left of Amalec, until this day.
