38 disse som er nevnt her ved navn, var høvdinger i sine ætter, og deres familier utbredte sig sterkt.
39 De drog avsted bortimot Gedor like til østsiden av dalen for å søke beite for sitt småfe;
They went outside of Gedor [town] on the east side of the valley to look for pastureland for their flocks of sheep.
40 og der fant de fett og godt beite, og landet var vidt og rummelig, og det var rolig og stille; for de som bodde der før, var av Kams ætt.
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.
41 Da kom i Judas konge Esekias' dager de som her er optegnet ved navn, og ødela deres telter og hugg ned de meunitter som fantes der, og slo dem med bann, så de nu ikke mere er til, og bosatte sig i deres land; for der var beite for deres småfe.
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.
42 Fem hundre mann av dem - av Simeons barn - drog til Se'irfjellene under anførsel av Pelatja og Nearja og Refaja og Ussiel, Jisis sønner;
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].
43 og de slo ihjel resten av de amalekitter som hadde sloppet unda; så bosatte de sig der og bor der den dag idag.
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].
