9 Now it came to pass that Jabez was more honourable than his brethren, —but, his mother, had called his name Jabez, ["he causes pain"] saying, Because I bare him with pain.
Njalo uJabezi wayelodumo kulabafowabo; unina wasemutha ibizo wathi nguJabezi, esithi: Ngoba ngamzala ngisosizini.
10 So then Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldst, indeed bless, me, and enlarge my boundary, and that thy hand might be with me, —and that thou wouldst work [to deliver me] from evil, that it be not my pain. And God brought about that which he asked.
UJabezi wasebiza uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli esithi: Kungathi ungangibusisa lokungibusisa, uqhelise umngcele wami, lesandla sakho sibe lami, ungivikele ebubini ukuze bungangidabuli! UNkulunkulu wenza kwenzakala lokho akucelayo.

27 And, Shimei, had sixteen sons, and six daughters, but, his brethren, had not many children, —nor did, any of their family, multiply so much as the sons of Judah.
Njalo uShimeyi wayelamadodana alitshumi lesithupha lamadodakazi ayisithupha; kodwa abafowabo babengelabantwana abanengi, losendo lonke lwabo kalwandanga njengabantwana bakoJuda.
28 And they dwelt in Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual;

32 And, their villages, were Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, —five cities;
Lemizana yabo: IEtamu, leAyini, iRimoni, leTokeni, leAshani, imizi emihlanu,
33 and all their villages that were round about these cities, as far as Baal. These, were their habitations, and they had their own genealogical register.

37 and Ziza, son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah.
loZiza indodana kaShifi indodana kaAloni indodana kaJedaya indodana kaShimiri indodana kaShemaya.
38 These, introduced by their names, were leading men in their families. And, their ancestral house, brake forth exceedingly;
Laba abaqanjwe ngamabizo babeyizikhulu ensendweni zabo, lezindlu zaboyise zanda kakhulu ngobunengi.
39 so they went to the entering in of Gerar, unto the east of the valley, —to seek pasture for their flocks;
Basebesiya ekungeneni kweGedori, baya ngempumalanga kwesihotsha, ukudingela imihlambi yabo idlelo.
40 and they found pasture, fat and good, and, the land, was broad on both hands, and quiet, and secure, —for, of Ham, were the dwellers there aforetime.
Bafica idlelo elivundileyo lelihle, lommango obanzi emaceleni, lolokuzola, lolokuthula; ngoba abakoHamu babehlala khona endulo.
41 But these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the Meunim who were found there, and devoted them, until this day, and dwelt in their stead, —for there was pasture for their flocks, there.
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 And, some of them, of the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir, five hundred men, —with Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, sons of Ishi, at their head;
Kwasekuphuma kubo, ebantwaneni bakoSimeyoni, amadoda angamakhulu amahlanu, aya entabeni yeSeyiri. LoPelatiya loNeyariya loRefaya loUziyeli amadodana kaIshi babezinhloko zabo.
43 and they smote the remainder that had escaped, of the Amalekites, —and dwelt there—[as they have] unto this day.
Basebetshaya insali yabaphephayo bamaAmaleki, bahlala khona kuze kube lamuhla.
