And they found fat and good pasture, and a land widely extended and quiet and fertile, for they who had dwelt there formerly were of Ham.

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.

And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their stead; for there was pasture there for their flocks.

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.

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

and they smote the rest of the Amalekites that had escaped; and they dwelt there unto this day.
