The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal.
2 UReyaya indodana kaShobhali wasezala uJahathi; uJahathi wasezala uAhumayi loLahadi. Laba babezinsendo zamaZorathi.
Truly, Reaiah, the son of Shobal, conceived Jahath; from him were born Ahumai and Lahad. These are the kindred of the Zorathites.
3 Laba babengabakayise kaEtamu: OJizereyeli loIshma loIdibhashi; lebizo likadadewabo lalinguHazeleliponi.
And this is the stock of Etam: Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash. And the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi.

Now Koz conceived Anub, and Zobebah, and the kindred of Aharhel, the son of Harum.
9 Njalo uJabezi wayelodumo kulabafowabo; unina wasemutha ibizo wathi nguJabezi, esithi: Ngoba ngamzala ngisosizini.
But Jabez was renowned, more so than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “For I bore him in sorrow.”
10 UJabezi wasebiza uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli esithi: Kungathi ungangibusisa lokungibusisa, uqhelise umngcele wami, lesandla sakho sibe lami, ungivikele ebubini ukuze bungangidabuli! UNkulunkulu wenza kwenzakala lokho akucelayo.
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.
11 UKelubi umfowabo kaShuha wasezala uMehiri, onguyise kaEshitoni.
Now Chelub, the brother of Shuhah, conceived Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
12 UEshitoni wasezala uBeti-Rafa loPhaseya loTehina uyise kaIri-Nahashi. Laba babengabantu bakaReka.
Then Eshton conceived Bethrapha, and Paseah, and Tehinnah, the father of the city of Nahash. These are the men of Recah.
13 Lamadodana kaKenazi: O-Othiniyeli loSeraya. Lamadodana kaOthiniyeli: UHathathi.
Now the sons of Kenaz were Othniel and Seraiah. And the sons of Othniel were Hathath and Meonothai.
14 UMeyonothayi wasezala uOfira. USeraya wasezala uJowabi uyise wesigodi seHarashi, ngoba babezingcitshi.
Meonothai conceived Ophrah, but Seraiah conceived Joab, the father of the Valley of Artisans. For indeed, there were artisans there.
15 Lamadodana kaKalebi indodana kaJefune: OIru, uEla, loNahamu; lamadodana kaEla, ngitsho uKenazi.

And then his wife, Judaia, bore Jered, the father of Gedor, and Heber, the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel, the father of Zanoah. Now there were sons of Bithiah, the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married,
19 Lamadodana omkaHodiya, udadewabo kaNahama, uyise kaKeyila umGarmi, loEshithemowa umMahakathi.

20 Njalo amadodana kaShimoni: OAmnoni, loRina, uBheni-Hanani, loThiloni. Lamadodana kaIshi: OZohethi loBheni-Zohethi.
And the sons of Shimon: Amnon, and Rinnah, son of Hanan, and Tilon. And the sons of Ishi: Zoheth and Benzoheth.
21 Amadodana kaShela indodana kaJuda: OEri uyise kaLeka, loLahada uyise kaMaresha, lensendo zendlu yabenzi belembu elicolekileyo bendlu kaAshibeya,
The sons of Shelah, the son of Judah: Er, the father of Lecah, and Laadah, the father of Mareshah, and the kindred of the house of the workers of fine linen in the house of the oath,
22 loJokimi, lamadoda akoKhozeba, loJowashi, loSarafi ababebusa amaMowabi, loJashubi-Lehema. Lalezizindaba zindala.
and he who caused the sun to stand still, and the men of Lying, and Secure, and Burning, who were leaders in Moab, and who returned into Lehem. Now these words are ancient.
23 Labo babengababumbi, labakhileyo ezilimeni lezintangweni; bahlala lapho lenkosi emsebenzini wayo.
These are the potters living in the Plantations and in the Hedges, with a king in his works, and they were dwelling there.
24 Amadodana kaSimeyoni: ONemuweli, loJamini, loJaribi, uZera, uShawuli,

26 Lamadodana kaMishima: UHamuweli indodana yakhe, uZakuri indodana yakhe, uShimeyi indodana yakhe.
The sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son.
27 Njalo uShimeyi wayelamadodana alitshumi lesithupha lamadodakazi ayisithupha; kodwa abafowabo babengelabantwana abanengi, losendo lonke lwabo kalwandanga njengabantwana bakoJuda.
The sons of Shimei were sixteen, and there were six daughters. But his brothers did not have many sons, and the entire kindred was not equal to the sum of the sons of Judah.
28 Basebehlala eBherishebha leMolada leHazari-Shuwali
Now they lived in Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual,

And their towns were Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities,
33 layo yonke imizana yayo, eyayiyizingelezele leyomizi, kuze kube seBahali. Lezi zindawo zabo zokuhlala, njalo baba lombhalo wosendo lwabo.
with all their villages, on every side of these cities, as far as Baal. This is their habitation and the distribution of the settlements.

and Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah,
37 loZiza indodana kaShifi indodana kaAloni indodana kaJedaya indodana kaShimiri indodana kaShemaya.
as well as Ziza, the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.
38 Laba abaqanjwe ngamabizo babeyizikhulu ensendweni zabo, lezindlu zaboyise zanda kakhulu ngobunengi.
These were the names of the leaders in their kindred. And they were multiplied greatly within the houses of their marriages.
39 Basebesiya ekungeneni kweGedori, baya ngempumalanga kwesihotsha, ukudingela imihlambi yabo idlelo.
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 Bafica idlelo elivundileyo lelihle, lommango obanzi emaceleni, lolokuzola, lolokuthula; ngoba abakoHamu babehlala khona endulo.
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 Lalabo ababebhalwe ngamabizo bafika ensukwini zikaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, batshaya amathente lendawo zokuhlala ezazitholakala khona, babatshabalalisa kuze kube lamuhla; bahlala endaweni zabo, ngoba kwakukhona lapho idlelo lezimvu zabo.
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 Kwasekuphuma kubo, ebantwaneni bakoSimeyoni, amadoda angamakhulu amahlanu, aya entabeni yeSeyiri. LoPelatiya loNeyariya loRefaya loUziyeli amadodana kaIshi babezinhloko zabo.
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 Basebetshaya insali yabaphephayo bamaAmaleki, bahlala khona kuze kube lamuhla.
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.
