26 And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, Shimei his son.
Na wana wa Mishma; mwanawe huyo ni Hamueli, na mwanawe huyo ni Zakuri, na mwanawe huyo ni Shimei.
27 And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children of Judah.
Naye Shimei alikuwa na wana wa kiume kumi na sita, na wana wa kike sita; walakini nduguze walikuwa hawana watoto wengi, tena jamaa yao yote haikuongezeka sana kwa mfano wa wana wa Yuda.
28 And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual,
Nao wakakaa huko Beer-sheba, na Molada, na Hasar-shuali;
29 and at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,

Na vijiji vyao vilikuwa Etamu, na Aini, na Rimoni, na Tokeni, na Ashani, miji mitano,
33 and all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy.
na vijiji vyao vyote vilivyoizunguka miji iyo hiyo, mpaka Baali. Hayo ndiyo makao yao, na hati ya nasaba yao wanayo.
34 And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

na Ziza, mwana wa Shifi, mwana wa Aloni, mwana wa Yedaya mwana wa Shimri, mwana wa Shemaya;
38 these mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the house of their fathers increased greatly.
hao waliotajwa majina yao ndio waliokuwa wakuu katika jamaa zao; na mbari za baba zao zikaongezeka sana.
39 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
Basi wakaenda mpaka maingilio ya Gedori, naam, mpaka upande wa mashariki wa bonde hilo, ili kuwatafutia kondoo zao malisho.
40 And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.
Wakaona malisho ya unono, mazuri, na nchi yenyewe ilikuwa na nafasi, tena imetulia, na kuwa na amani; kwani waliokaa huko zamani walikuwa watu wa Hamu.
41 And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because there was pasture there for their flocks.
Na hao walioandikwa majina yao waliingia huko katika siku za Hezekia, mfalme wa Yuda, na kuzipiga hema zao, pamoja na hao Wameuni walioonekana huko, wakawaangamiza kabisa, hata siku hii ya leo, nao wakakaa huko badala yao; kwa sababu huko kulikuwa na malisho kwa kondoo zao.
42 And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
Na baadhi yao, maana ya hao wana wa Simeoni, watu mia tano, wakaenda mpaka mlima Seiri, na majemadari wao walikuwa Pelatia, na Nearia, na Refaya, na Uzieli, wana wa Ishi.
43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.
Nao wakawapiga mabaki ya Waamaleki waliookoka, wakakaa huko, hata siku hii ya leo.
