| وَجَمِيعُ قُرَاهُمُ ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْمُدُنِ إِلَى بَعْلٍ. هَذِهِ مَسَاكِنُهُمْ وَأَنْسَابُهُمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |

| وَيُوئِيلُ وَيَاهُو بْنُ يُوشِبْيَا بْنِ سَرَايَا بْنِ عَسِيئِيلَ، | ٣٥ 35 |
| وَأَلِيُوعِينَايُ وَيَعْقُوبَا وَيَشُوحَايَا وَعَسَايَا وَعَدِيئِيلُ وَيَسِيمِيئِيلُ وَبَنَايَا | ٣٦ 36 |
| وَزِيزَا بْنُ شِفْعِي بْنِ أَلُّونَ بْنِ يَدَايَا بْنِ شِمْرِي بْنِ شَمْعِيَا. | ٣٧ 37 |
| هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوَارِدُونَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ رُؤَسَاءُ فِي عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمِ ٱمْتَدُّوا كَثِيرًا، | ٣٨ 38 |
| وَسَارُوا إِلَى مَدْخَلِ جَدُورَ إِلَى شَرْقِيِّ ٱلْوَادِي لِيُفَتِّشُوا عَلَى مَرْعًى لِمَاشِيَتِهِمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
| فَوَجَدُوا مَرْعًى خَصِبًا وَجَيِّدًا، وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَاسِعَةَ ٱلْأَطْرَافِ مُسْتَرِيحَةً وَمُطْمَئِنَّةً، لِأَنَّ آلَ حَامَ سَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ فِي ٱلْقَدِيمِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
They found good pastureland with plenty of grass. The place was peaceful and quiet. Previously the descendants of [Noah’s son] Ham had lived there.
| وَجَاءَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةُ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي أَيَّامِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. وَضَرَبُوا خِيَمَهُمْ وَٱلْمَعُونِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا هُنَاكَ وَحَرَّمُوهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ لِأَنَّ هُنَاكَ مَرْعًى لِمَاشِيَتِهِمْ. | ٤١ 41 |
But while Hezekiah was the king of Judah, the leaders of the tribe of Simeon came to Gedor and fought against the descendants of Ham and destroyed their tents. They also fought against the descendants of Meun who were living there, and they killed all of them. So now there are no descendants of Meun living there. The descendants of Simeon started to live there, because there was good pastureland there for their sheep.
| وَمِنْهُمْ، مِنْ بَنِي شِمْعُونَ، ذَهَبَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سَعِيرَ خَمْسُ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ، وَقُدَّامَهُمْ فَلَطْيَا وَنَعْرِيَا وَرَفَايَا وَعُزِّيئِيلُ بَنُو يِشْعِي. | ٤٢ 42 |
Ishi’s four sons Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel led 500 other descendants of Simeon [and attacked the people who were living] in the hilly area of the Edom [region].
| وَضَرَبُوا بَقِيَّةَ ٱلْمُنْفَلِتِينَ مِنْ عَمَالِيقَ، وَسَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٤٣ 43 |
They killed the few descendants of Amalek who were still alive. From that time until now, the descendants of Simeon have lived in [the] Edom [region].
