1 Chronicles 4

1 The descendants of Judah: Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal.

1 وَهَذَا سِجِلٌّ بِمَوَالِيدِ يَهُوذَا: فَارَصُ، وَحَصْرُونُ وَكَرْمِي وَحُورُ وَشُوبَالُ.

2 Reaiah son of Shobal was the father of Jahath, and Jahath was the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These were the clans of the Zorathites.

2 وَأَنْجَبَ رَآيَا بْنُ شُوبَالَ يَحَثَ، وَأَنْجَبَ يَحَثُ أَخُومَايَ وَلاهَدَ. وَاسْتَوْطَنَ نَسْلُهُمَا فِي صَرْعَةَ.

3 These were the sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. And their sister was named Hazzelelponi.

3 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ أَبْنَاءِ عِيطَمَ: يزْرَعِيلُ وَيَشْمَا وَيَدْبَاشُ، وَاسْمُ أُخْتِهِمْ هَصَّلَلْفُونِي.

4 Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer was the father of Hushah. These were the descendants of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah and the father of Bethlehem.

4 وَفَنُوئِيلُ الَّذِي أَسَّسَ مَدِينَةَ جَدُورَ، وَعَازَرُ مُؤَسِّسُ مَدِينَةِ حُوشَةَ. وَجَمِيعُ هَؤُلاءِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ حُورَ بِكْرِ كَالَبَ مِنْ زَوْجَتِهِ أَفْرَاتَةَ. وَهُوَ الَّذِي قَامَ بِبِنَاءِ مَدِينَةِ بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ.

5 Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.

5 وَكَانَ لأَشْحُورَ مُؤَسِّسِ مَدِينَةِ تَقُوعَ زَوْجَتَانِ هُمَا: حَلاةُ وَنَعْرَةُ.

6 Naarah bore to him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the descendants of Naarah.

6 فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ نَعْرَةُ أَخُزَّامَ وَحَافَرَ وَالتَّيْمَانِيَّ وَالأَخَشْتَارِيَّ. وَجَمِيعُ هَؤُلاءِ أَبْنَاءُ نَعْرَةَ.

7 The sons of Helah were Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan,

7 أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ حَلاةَ فَهُمْ: صَرَثُ وَصُوحَرُ وَأَثْنَانُ.

8 and Koz, who was the father of Anub and Zobebah and of the clans of Aharhel son of Harum.

8 وَأَنْجَبَ قُوصٌ عَانُوبَ وَهَصُوبِيبَةَ، وَتَحَدَّرَتْ مِنْهُ عَشَائِرُ أَخَرْحِيلَ بْنِ هَارُمَ.

9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”

9 وَكَانَ يَعْبِيصُ أَنْبَلَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَقَدْ سَمَّتْهُ أُمُّهُ يَعْبِيصَ قَائِلَةً: «لأَنَّنِي عَانَيْتُ فِي وِلادَتِهِ».

10 And Jabez called out to the God of Israel, “If only You would bless me and enlarge my territory! May Your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted the request of Jabez.

10 وَتَضَرَّعَ يَعْبِيصُ لإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «لَيْتَكَ تُبَارِكُنِي وَتُوَسِّعُ مِنْ حُدُودِ أَرْضِي، وَتَعْضُدُنِي، وَتَقِينِي مِنَ الشَّرِّ فَلا يُشْقِينِي». فَاسْتَجَابَ اللهُ دُعَاءَهُ.

11 Chelub the brother of Shuhah was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.

11 وَأَنْجَبَ كَلُوبُ أَخُو شُوحَةَ مَحِيرَ أَبَا أَشْتُونَ.

12 Eshton was the father of Beth-rapha, of Paseah, and of Tehinnah the father of Ir-nahash. These were the men of Recah.

12 وَأَنْجَبَ أَشْتُونُ بَيْتَ رَافَا، وَفَاسِحَ وَتَحِنَّةَ الَّذِي أَسَّسَ مَدِينَةَ نَاحَاشَ، وَجَمِيعُ هَؤُلاءِ أَهْلُ رَيْكَةَ.

13 The sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah. The sons of Othniel: Hathath and Meonothai.

13 وَابْنَا قَنَازَ هُمَا: عُثْنِيئِيلُ وَسَرَايَا. وَأَنْجَبَ عُثْنِيئِيلُ حَثَاثَ.

14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah, and Seraiah was the father of Joab, the father of those living in Ge-harashim, which was given this name because its people were craftsmen.

14 وَمَعُونُوثَايُ وَلَدَ عَفْرَةَ. وَأَنْجَبَ سَرَايَا يُوآبَ الَّذِي أَسَّسَ وَادِي الصُّنَّاعِ مَقَرَّ إِقَامَةِ الصُّنَّاعِ.

15 The sons of Caleb son of Jephunneh: Iru, Elah, and Naam. The son of Elah: Kenaz.

15 وَأَنْجَبَ كَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ عِيرُو وَأَيْلَةَ وَنَاعِمَ، وَوَلَدَ أَيْلَةُ قَنَازَ.

16 The sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.

16 أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ يَهْلَلْئِيلَ فَهُمْ زِيفُ وَزِيفَةُ وَتِيرِيَّا وَأَسَرْئِيلُ.

17 The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. And Mered’s wife Bithiah gave birth to Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa.

17 وَأَبْنَاءُ عَزْرَةَ هُمْ: يَثَرُ وَمَرَدُ وَعَافِرُ وَيَالُونُ. وَتَزَوَّج مَرَدُ بِثْيَةَ ابْنَةَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ مَرْيَمَ وَشَمَّايَ وَيِشْبَحَ مُؤَسِّسَ مَدِينَةِ أَشْتَمُوعَ.

18 These were the children of Pharaoh’s daughter Bithiah. Mered also took a Judean wife, who gave birth to Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.

18 أَمَّا زَوْجَتُهُ الْيَهُودِيَّةُ فَقَدْ أَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ يَارَدَ الَّذِي أَسَّسَ مَدِينَةَ جَدُورَ، وَحَابِرَ مُؤَسِّسَ مَدِينَةِ سُوكُوَ، وَيَقُوثِيئِيلَ مُؤَسِّسَ مَدِينَةِ زَانُوحَ.

19 The sons of Hodiah’s wife, the sister of Naham, were the fathers of Keilah the Garmite and of Eshtemoa the Maacathite.

19 وَكَانَتْ زَوْجَةُ هُودِيَةَ شَقِيقَةَ نَحَمَ، وَقَدْ أَسَّسَ أَحَدُ وَلَدَيْهَا مَدِينَةَ قَعِيلَةَ الَّتِي قَطَنَتْهَا قَبِيلَةُ جَرْمٍ، وَأَسَّسَ الآخَرُ مَدِينَةَ أَشْتَمُوعَ الَّتِي اسْتَوْطَنَتْهَا قَبِيلَةُ مَعْكَةَ.

20 The sons of Shimon: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. The descendants of Ishi: Zoheth and Ben-zoheth.

20 وَأَبْنَاءُ شِيمُونَ: أَمْنُونُ وَرِنَّةُ بْنُ حَانَانَ وَتِيلُونُ. وَابْنَا يِشْعِي: زُوحَيْتُ وَبَنْزُوحَيْتُ.

21 The sons of Shelah son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah and the clans of the linen workers at Beth-ashbea,

21 وَأَبْنَاءُ شِيلَةَ بْنِ يَهُوذَا: عِيرُ مُؤَسِّسُ مَدِينَةِ لَيْكَةَ، وَلَعْدَةُ مُؤَسِّسُ مَدِينَةِ مَرِيشَةَ وَرَأْسُ نَسَّاجِي الْكَتَّانِ الَّذِينَ سَكَنُوا فِي بَيْتِ أَشْبَيْعَ.

22 Jokim, the men of Cozeba, and Joash and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi-lehem. (These names are from ancient records.)

22 وَيُوقِيمُ، وَأَهْلُ مَدِينَةِ كَزِيبَا، وَيُوآشُ وَسَارَافُ الَّذِي حَكَمَ فِيِ مُوآبَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى يَشُوبِي لَحْمٍ. وَهَذِهِ أَخْبَارٌ مَنْقُولَةٌ عَنْ سِجِلّاتٍ قَدِيمَةٍ.

23 These were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah. They lived there in the service of the king.

23 وَكَانَ هَؤُلاءِ خَزَّافِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي خِدْمَةِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَقَامُوا فِي مَدِينَتَيْ نَتَاعِيمَ وَجَدِيرَةَ.

24 The descendants of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul.

24 أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ شِمْعُونَ فَهُمْ: نَمُوئِيلُ وَيَامِينُ وَيَرِيبُ وَزَارَحُ وَشَاوُلُ.

25 The sons of Shaul: Shallum, Mibsam, and Mishma.

25 وَأَنْجَبَ شَاوُلُ شَلُّومَ، وَشَلُّومُ مِبْسَامَ، وَمِبْسَامُ مِشْمَاعَ.

26 The sons of Mishma: Hammuel, Zaccur, and Shimei.

26 وَأَنْجَبَ مِشْمَاعُ حَمُوئِيلَ، وَحَمُوئِيلُ زَكُّورَ وَالِدَ شِمْعِي.

27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children, so their whole clan did not become as numerous as the sons of Judah.

27 وَكَانَ لِشِمْعِي سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ ابْناً وَسِتُّ بَنَاتٍ. وَأَمَّا إِخْوَتُهُ فَلَمْ يُعْقِبُوا أَبْنَاءً عَدِيدِينَ، وَلَمْ تَتَكَاثَرْ عَشَائِرُ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ كَمَا تَكَاثَرَتْ عَشَائِرُ أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا.

28 They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual,

28 وَأَقَامَتْ عَشَائِرُهُمْ فِي بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ وَمُولادَةَ وَحَصَرِ شُوعَالَ،

29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,

29 وَفِي بِلْهَةَ وَعَاصِمَ وَتُولادَ،

30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

30 وَبَتُوئِيلَ وَحُرْمَةَ وَصِقْلَغَ،

31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.

31 وَفِي بَيْتِ مَرْكَبُوتَ وَحَصَرِ سُوسِيمَ وَبَيْتِ بِرْئِي وَشَعَرَايِمَ. فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ مُدُنَهُمُ الَّتِي أَقَامُوا فِيهَا إِلَى أَيَّامِ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ.

32 And their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan—five towns—

32 أَمَّا قُرَاهُمْ فَكَانَتْ: عِيطَمَ وَعَيْنَ وَرِمُّونَ وَتُوكَنَ وَعَاشَانَ، وَهِيَ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا خَمْسُ قُرىً،

33 and all their surrounding villages as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record:

33 فَضْلاً عَنِ الضَّوَاحِي الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهَذِهِ الْقُرَى حَتَّى حُدُودِ بَعْلٍ. تِلْكَ هِيَ مُسْتَوْطَنَاتُهُمْ وَسِجِلاتُ أَنْسَابِهِمْ.

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah,

34 وَمِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ عَائِلاتِهِمْ: مَشُوبَابُ وَيَمْلِيكُ وَيُوشَا بْنُ أَمَصْيَا،

35 Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah (son of Seraiah, son of Asiel),

35 وَيُوئِيلُ وَيَاهُو بْنُ يُوشِبْيَا بْنِ سَرَايَا بْنِ عَسِيئيِلَ،

36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah,

36 وَأَلِيُوعِينَايُ وَيَعْقُوبَا وَيَشُوحَايَا وَعَسَايَا وَعَدِيئِيلُ وَيَسِيمِيئِيلُ وَبَنايَا،

37 and Ziza son of Shiphi (son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah).

37 وَزِيزَا بْنُ شِفْعِي بْنِ أَلُّونَ بْنِ يَدَايَا بْنِ شِمْرِي بْنِ شَمْعِيَا.

38 These men listed by name were the leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly,

38 وَجَمِيعُ هَؤُلاءِ الْوَارِدَةِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ فِي عَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَرُؤُوسٌ فِي بُيُوتَاتِ آبَائِهِمْ، وَقَدِ انْتَشَرُوا كَثِيراً

39 and they journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, in search of pasture for their flocks.

39 حَتَّى بَلَغُوا فِي بَحْثِهِمْ عَنِ الْمَرَاعِي لِمَاشِيَتِهِمْ مَدْخَلَ جَدُورَ شَرْقَ الْوَادِي،

40 There they found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful, and quiet; for some Hamites had lived there formerly.

40 وَهُنَاكَ عَثَرُوا عَلَى مَرَاعٍ خَصِيبَةٍ تَمْتَدُّ فيِ أَرَاضٍ شَاسِعَةٍ وَادِعَةٍ آمِنَةٍ، لأَنَّ نَسْلَ حَامَ كَانُوا قَدِ اسْتَوْطَنُوهَا مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ.

41 These who were noted by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings as well as the Meunites who were there, devoting them to destruction even to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks.

41 فَهَاجَمَ هَؤُلاءِ الرُّؤَسَاءُ، الَّذِينَ وَرَدَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي أَيَّامِ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، سُكَّانَ الأَرْضِ وَقَلَعُوا خِيَامَهُمْ، وَقَضَوْا أَيْضاً عَلَى الْمَعُونِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَوْطَنُوا مَعَ آلِ حَامٍ وَأَفْنَوْهُمْ إلَى هَذَا اليَوْمِ، ثُمَّ احْتَلُّوا أَرْضَهُمْ لِرِعَايَةِ مَوَاشِيهِمْ.

42 And five hundred of these Simeonites led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to Mount Seir

42 كَمَا انْطَلَقَ نَحْوُ خَمْسِ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى جَبَلِ سَعِيرَ، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِمْ فَلَطْيَا وَنَعْرِيَا ورَفَايَا وَعُزِّيئِيلُ أَبْنَاءُ يَشْعِي،

43 and struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they have lived there to this day.

43 وَقَتَلُوا مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ عَمَالِيقَ، وَاسْتَوْطَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.
