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.

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.
The sons of Semei were sixteen, and six daughters: but his brethren had not many sons, and the whole kindred could not reach to the sum of the children of Juda.

Their towns also were Etam, and Aen, Remmon, and Thochen, and Asan, 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.

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

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 forth to enter into Gador as far as to the east side of the valley, to seek pastures for their flocks.
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 fat pastures, and very good, and a country spacious, and quiet, and fruitful, in which some of the race of Cham had dwelt 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 whose names are written above, came in the days of Ezechias king of Juda: and they beat down their tents, and slew the inhabitants that were found there, and utterly destroyed them unto this day: and they dwelt in their place, because they found there fat pastures.
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.
Some also of the children of Simeon, five hundred men, went into mount Seir, having for their captains Phaltias and Naaria and Raphaia and Oziel the sons of Jesi:
43 Lè yo rive, yo touye rès moun Amalèk yo. Depi lè sa a se la yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.
And they slew the remnant of the Amalecites, who had been able to escape, and they dwelt there in their stead unto this day.
