And Reaiah son of Shobal begot Jahath, and Jahath begot Ahumai and Lahad; these [are] families of the Zorathite.
3 Etam te pitit Our. Se li ki papa Jizreyèl, Ichma, Idbak ak yon pitit fi yo rele Azelèl-poni.

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 Jabez is honored above his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I have brought forth with grief.”
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 Jabez calls to the God of Israel, saying, “If blessing You bless me, then You have made my border great, and Your hand has been with me, and You have kept [me] from evil—not to grieve me”; and God brings in that which he asked.

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.
Sons of Shelah son of Judah: Er father of Lecah, and Laadah father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of the service of fine linen, of the house of Ashbea;
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 Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who ruled over Moab and Jashubi-Lehem; and these things [are] ancient.
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.
They [are] the potters and inhabitants of Netaim and Gedera; they dwelt there with the king in his work.
24 Simeyon te gen senk pitit gason: Nemwèl, Jamen, Jarib, Zera ak Sayil.

26 Michma te papa Amwèl, Amwèl te papa Zakou, Zakou te papa Chimeyi.
And sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei 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.
And to Shimei [are] sixteen sons and six daughters, and to his brothers there are not many sons, and none of their families have multiplied as much as the sons of Judah.
28 Rive sou rèy wa David, moun branch fanmi Simeyon yo te rete nan lavil sa yo: Becheba, Molada, Azachwal,
And they dwell in Beer-Sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-Shaul,
29 Bila, Ezèm, Tolad,
and in Bilhah, and in Ezem, and in Tolad,
30 Betwèl, Oma, Zikla,
and in Bethuel, and in Hormah, and in Ziklag,
31 Bètmakabòt, Azasousim, Bètbireyi ak Charayim.
and in Beth-Marcaboth, and in Hazar-Susim, and in Beth-Birei, and in Shaarim; these [are] their cities until the reigning of David.
32 Yo te rete nan senk lòt kote apre sa: Etam, Ayin, Rimon, Tochenn ak Achan,
And their villages [are] Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan—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 that [are] around these cities to Ba‘al; these [are] their dwellings, and they have their genealogy:
34 Men moun ki te chèf branch fanmi Simeyon yo: Mechobab, Jamlèk, Jocha, pitit gason Amazya,
even Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah son of Amaziah,
35 ak Joèl, Jeou, pitit gason Jozibyas ki te pitit Seraja, pitit pitit Asiyèl,
and Joel, and Jehu son of Josibiah, son of Seraiah, son of Asiel,
36 Elioenayi, Jakoba, Jekoaja, Asaya, Adyèl, Jezimyèl, Benaja,
and Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah,
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 Ziza son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah.
38 Tout moun nou sot nonmen la yo te chèf nan fanmi yo. Branch fanmi an t'ap peple toujou.
These who are coming in by name [are] princes in their families, and the house of their fathers has broken forth into a multitude;
39 Y' al chache patiraj pou mouton yo toupre lavil Gedò, sou bò solèy leve nan fon kote lavil la ye a.
and they go to the entrance of Gedor, to the east of the valley, to seek pasture for their flock,
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 find pasture, fat and good, and the land broad of sides, and quiet, and safe, for those dwelling there before are of Ham.
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 come in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and strike their tents, and the habitations that have been found there, and devote them to destruction to this day, and dwell in their stead, because pasture for their flock [is] there.
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 of them, of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men have gone to Mount Seir, and Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, sons of Ishi, at their head,
43 Lè yo rive, yo touye rès moun Amalèk yo. Depi lè sa a se la yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.
and they strike the remnant of those escaped of Amalek, and dwell there to this day.
