¶ Men non lòt pitit gason Jida te gen: Perèz, Ezwon, Kami, Our ak Chobal.

Chobal te papa Reaja, Reaja te papa Jakat, Jakat te papa Akoumayi ak Laad. Se yo ki zansèt moun ki rete lavil Zora.

Etam te pitit Our. Se li ki papa Jizreyèl, Ichma, Idbak ak yon pitit fi yo rele Azelèl-poni.

Penwèl, yon lòt pitit Our, te papa Gedò. Ezè, yon lòt pitit Our, te papa Oucha. Our te premye pitit Efrata, madan Kalèb. Se branch fanmi l' lan ki te bati lavil Betleyèm.

Achou, ki te bati lavil Tekoa, te gen de madanm: Ela ak Nara.

Nara te fè kat pitit gason pou li. Se te Aouzam, Efè, Temeni ak Ayachtari.

Ela te fè twa pitit gason pou li: Zerèt, Soa ak Etnan.

Kòz te papa Anoub ak Zobeba. Se li ki zansèt tout branch fanmi Arèl, pitit gason Awoum.

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'.

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.

11 ¶ Keloub, frè Choula, te gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Meyi. Meyi te papa Echton.

12 Echton te papa Betrafa, Pasea ak Techima. Se Techima ki te tabli lavil Nagach. Se fanmi moun sa yo ki rete lavil Reka.

13 Kenaz te gen de pitit gason: Otnyèl ak Seraja. Otnyèl te gen de pitit gason tou: Atat ak Meonotayi.

14 Meonotayi te papa Ofra. Seraja te papa Joab, zansèt moun ki rete nan fon Bòs Atizan yo. Tout moun sa yo te bòs nan metye yo.

15 Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune, te gen twa pitit gason pou tèt pa l': Iwou, Ela ak Nam. Ela te papa Kenaz.

16 Jealelèl te gen kat pitit gason: Zif, Zifa, Tirya ak Azareyèl.

17 -

18 Esdras te gen kat pitit gason: Jetè, Merèd, Efè ak Jalou. Merèd marye ak Bitya, yonn nan pitit fi farawon peyi Lejip la. Yo fè yon pitit fi, Miryam, ak de pitit gason: Chamayi ak Ichba. Ichba te papa Estemoa. Merèd te pran yon fanm nan branch fanmi Jida a tou pou madanm. Madanm sa a ba li twa pitit gason: Jerèd, papa Gedò, Ebè, papa Soko, ak Jekoutiyèl, papa Zanoa.

19 Odija marye ak sè Naam lan. Se pitit yo ki zansèt branch fanmi moun Gram yo ki te rete lavil Kejila, ak branch fanmi moun Makat yo ki te rete lavil Estemoa.

20 Chimon te gen kat pitit gason: Amnon, Rina, Bennanan ak Tilon. Icheyi te gen de pitit gason: Zoet ak Bennzoèt.

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.

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.

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.

24 ¶ Simeyon te gen senk pitit gason: Nemwèl, Jamen, Jarib, Zera ak Sayil.

25 Sayil te papa Chaloum, Chaloum te papa Mibsam, Mibsam te papa Michma,

26 Michma te papa Amwèl, Amwèl te papa Zakou, Zakou te papa Chimeyi.

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.

28 Rive sou rèy wa David, moun branch fanmi Simeyon yo te rete nan lavil sa yo: Becheba, Molada, Azachwal,

29 Bila, Ezèm, Tolad,

30 Betwèl, Oma, Zikla,

31 Bètmakabòt, Azasousim, Bètbireyi ak Charayim.

32 Yo te rete nan senk lòt kote apre sa: Etam, Ayin, Rimon, Tochenn ak Achan,

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.

34 -

35 Men moun ki te chèf branch fanmi Simeyon yo: Mechobab, Jamlèk, Jocha, pitit gason Amazya, ak Joèl, Jeou, pitit gason Jozibyas ki te pitit Seraja, pitit pitit Asiyèl,

36 Elioenayi, Jakoba, Jekoaja, Asaya, Adyèl, Jezimyèl, Benaja,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

43 Lè yo rive, yo touye rès moun Amalèk yo. Depi lè sa a se la yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.

Other Clans of Judah

The descendants of Judah:(A)

Perez, Hezron,(B) Karmi, Hur and Shobal.

Reaiah son of Shobal was the father of Jahath, and Jahath the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These were the clans of the Zorathites.

These were the sons[a] of Etam:

Jezreel, Ishma and Idbash. Their sister was named Hazzelelponi. Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah.

These were the descendants of Hur,(C) the firstborn of Ephrathah and father[b] of Bethlehem.(D)

Ashhur(E) the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.

Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni and Haahashtari. These were the descendants of Naarah.

The sons of Helah:

Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan, and Koz, who was the father of Anub and Hazzobebah and of the clans of Aharhel son of Harum.

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez,[c] saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.

11 Kelub, Shuhah’s brother, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. 12 Eshton was the father of Beth Rapha, Paseah and Tehinnah the father of Ir Nahash.[d] These were the men of Rekah.

13 The sons of Kenaz:

Othniel(F) and Seraiah.

The sons of Othniel:

Hathath and Meonothai.[e] 14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah.

Seraiah was the father of Joab,

the father of Ge Harashim.[f] It was called this because its people were skilled workers.

15 The sons of Caleb son of Jephunneh:

Iru, Elah and Naam.

The son of Elah:

Kenaz.

16 The sons of Jehallelel:

Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria and Asarel.

17 The sons of Ezrah:

Jether, Mered, Epher and Jalon. One of Mered’s wives gave birth to Miriam,(G) Shammai and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa. 18 (His wife from the tribe of Judah gave birth to Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soko, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.(H)) These were the children of Pharaoh’s daughter Bithiah, whom Mered had married.

19 The sons of Hodiah’s wife, the sister of Naham:

the father of Keilah(I) the Garmite, and Eshtemoa the Maakathite.(J)

20 The sons of Shimon:

Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-Hanan and Tilon.

The descendants of Ishi:

Zoheth and Ben-Zoheth.

21 The sons of Shelah(K) son of Judah:

Er the father of Lekah, Laadah the father of Mareshah and the clans of the linen workers at Beth Ashbea, 22 Jokim, the men of Kozeba, and Joash and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi Lehem. (These records are from ancient times.) 23 They were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah; they stayed there and worked for the king.

Simeon(L)

24 The descendants of Simeon:(M)

Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib,(N) Zerah and Shaul;

25 Shallum was Shaul’s son, Mibsam his son and Mishma his son.

26 The descendants of Mishma:

Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son and Shimei his son.

27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children; so their entire clan did not become as numerous as the people of Judah. 28 They lived in Beersheba,(O) Moladah,(P) Hazar Shual, 29 Bilhah, Ezem,(Q) Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah,(R) Ziklag,(S) 31 Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri and Shaaraim.(T) These were their towns until the reign of David. 32 Their surrounding villages were Etam, Ain,(U) Rimmon, Token and Ashan(V)—five towns— 33 and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath.[g] These were their settlements. And they kept a genealogical record.

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah, 35 Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel, 36 also Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, 37 and Ziza son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.

38 The men listed above by name were leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly, 39 and they went to the outskirts of Gedor(W) to the east of the valley in search of pasture for their flocks. 40 They found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful and quiet.(X) Some Hamites had lived there formerly.

41 The men whose names were listed came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings and also the Meunites(Y) who were there and completely destroyed[h] them, as is evident to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks. 42 And five hundred of these Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, invaded the hill country of Seir.(Z) 43 They killed the remaining Amalekites(AA) who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day.
