39 And they went forth to enter into Gador as far as to the east side of the valley, to seek pastures for their flocks.
Basebesiya ekungeneni kweGedori, baya ngempumalanga kwesihotsha, ukudingela imihlambi yabo idlelo.
40 And they found fat pastures, and very good, and a country spacious, and quiet, and fruitful, in which some of the race of Cham had dwelt before.
Bafica idlelo elivundileyo lelihle, lommango obanzi emaceleni, lolokuzola, lolokuthula; ngoba abakoHamu babehlala khona endulo.
41 And these whose names are written above, came in the days of Ezechias king of Juda: and they beat down their tents, and slew the inhabitants that were found there, and utterly destroyed them unto this day: and they dwelt in their place, because they found there fat pastures.
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.
42 Some also of the children of Simeon, five hundred men, went into mount Seir, having for their captains Phaltias and Naaria and Raphaia and Oziel the sons of Jesi:
Kwasekuphuma kubo, ebantwaneni bakoSimeyoni, amadoda angamakhulu amahlanu, aya entabeni yeSeyiri. LoPelatiya loNeyariya loRefaya loUziyeli amadodana kaIshi babezinhloko zabo.
43 And they slew the remnant of the Amalecites, who had been able to escape, and they dwelt there in their stead unto this day.
Basebetshaya insali yabaphephayo bamaAmaleki, bahlala khona kuze kube lamuhla.
