Truly, Reaiah, the son of Shobal, conceived Jahath; from him were born Ahumai and Lahad. These are the kindred of the Zorathites.

3 Ary izao no avy amin’ ny rain’ i Etama: Jezirela sy Jisma ary Jidbasy, ary Hazelelpony no anaran’ ny anabaviny,

But Jabez was renowned, more so than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “For I bore him in sorrow.”

10 Ary Jabeza niantso an’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely hoe: Enga anie ka hotahinao tokoa aho, ka hohalalahinao ny fari-taniko, ary ho amiko ny tananao, ka harovanao amin’ ny ratsy aho, mba tsy hampahory ahy izany. Ary dia nomen’ Andriamanitra azy ny nangatahiny.

Truly, Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “If only, when blessing, you will bless me, and will broaden my borders, and your hand will be with me, and you will cause me not to be oppressed by evil.” And God granted to him the things for which he prayed.

38 ireo voalaza anarana ireo dia samy lohany tamin’ ny fotony avy; ary efa nihamaro indrindra ny fianakaviany.

These were the names of the leaders in their kindred. And they were multiplied greatly within the houses of their marriages.

39 Ary nankany amin’ ny fidirana ho any Gedora izy, dia hatramin’ ny ilany atsinanana amin’ ny lohasaha, hitady ahitra ho an’ ny ondriny aman’ osiny.

And they set out, so that they might enter into Gedor, as far as the eastern valley, and so that they might seek pastures for their flocks.

40 Ary nahita ahitra maitso sady tsara izy, ary malalaka ny tany sady nandry fahizay; nefa ny taranak’ i Hama no nonina tany taloha.

And they found fat and very good pastures, and a very wide and quiet and fruitful land, in which some from the stock of Ham had lived before.

41 Ary ireo voasoratra anarana ireo dia tonga tao tamin’ ny andron’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka namely ny lay sy ny fonenana hitany tao sy nandringana azy rehetra mandraka ankehitriny, dia nonina nisolo azy; fa nisy ahitra ho an’ ny ondriny aman’ osiny tany.

So then, those whose names have been written above, went forth in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah. And they struck down the inhabitants who had been found there with their dwellings. And they wiped them out, even to the present day. And they lived in place of them, because they found very fat pastures there.

42 Ary nisy lehilahy dimam-jato tamin’ ny taranak’ i Simeona nankany amin’ ny tendrombohitra Seïra ka nanana an’ i Peletia sy Nearia sy Refaia ary Oziela, zanakalahin’ i Jisy, ho mpifehy azy.

Also, some of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went away to mount Seir, having as leaders Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

43 Ary namely ny sisa afaka tamin’ ny Amalekita izy, ka dia monina ao mandraka androany.

And they struck down the remnant of the Amalekites, those who had been able to escape, and they lived there in place of them, even to this day.
