Simei woo mmabarima dunsia ne mmabea baasia. Ne nuabarimanom de, na wɔn mu biara nni abusua kɛse saa. Ɛno nti, Simeon abusua annɔ te sɛ Yuda abusua no.
28 They lived at Beersheba, Moladah, Hazarshual,

39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, even to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
Wɔkɔɔ Gedor fam a na ɛwɔ obon no apuei fam sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ asase pa ama wɔn mmoa adidi so.
40 They found rich, good pasture, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceful, for those who lived there before were descended from Ham.
Wonyaa mmoa adidibea pa wɔ hɔ. Na asase no so dwo na basabasayɛ biara nni hɔ. Na Ham asefo no bi akɔtena Gedor fa mu hɔ dedaw.
41 These written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and struck their tents and the Meunim who were found there; and they destroyed them utterly to this day, and lived in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.
Yudahene Hesekia bere so no, Simeon ntuanofo no ko dii hɔ so, sɛee Ham ne Meunifo afi pasaa. Wokum obiara a na ɔte hɔ, faa asase no, efisɛ, na wɔpɛ sɛ wonya mmoa didibea pa no.
42 Some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to Mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
