复述犹大的子孙

犹大的儿子是法勒斯、希斯仑、迦米、户珥和朔巴。 朔巴的儿子利亚雅生雅哈;雅哈生亚户买和拉哈。以上这些都是琐拉人的家族。 以坦的儿子(“儿子”原文作“父亲”;现参照部分古译本修改)是:耶斯列、伊施玛、伊得巴;他们的妹妹名叫哈悉勒玻尼。 基多的父亲是毘努伊勒;户沙的父亲是以谢珥;这些都是伯利恒的父亲以法他的长子户珥所生的。 提哥亚的父亲亚施户有两个妻子,就是希拉和拿拉。 拿拉给亚施户生了亚户撒、希弗、提米尼、哈辖斯他利;这些人都是拿拉的儿子。 希拉的儿子是洗列、琐辖和伊提南。 哥斯生亚诺、琐比巴和哈仑的儿子亚哈黑的众家族。 雅比斯在众兄弟中最受人尊重,他母亲给他起名叫雅比斯,意思说:“我生产时十分痛苦。” 10 雅比斯呼求以色列的 神说:“深愿你大大地赐福给我,扩张我的境界,你的能力常与我同在,保护我免遭灾祸,不受痛苦。” 神就应允了他所求的。

11 书哈的兄弟基绿生米黑;米黑是伊施屯的父亲。 12 伊施屯生伯拉巴、巴西亚和珥拿辖的父亲提欣拿;这些都是利迦人。

13 基纳斯的儿子是俄陀聂和西莱雅;俄陀聂的儿子是哈塔和悯挪太(《马索拉文本》缺“悯挪太”,现参照其他抄本和古译本补上)。 14 悯挪太生俄弗拉。西莱雅生革.夏纳欣人的祖先约押;他们原是匠人。 15 耶孚尼的儿子是迦勒;迦勒的儿子是以路、以拉和拿安;以拉的儿子是基纳斯。 16 耶哈利勒的儿子是西弗、西法、提利和亚撒列。 17-18 以斯拉的儿子是益帖、米列、以弗和雅伦。米列娶法老的女儿比提雅为妻;比提雅怀孕,生了米利暗、沙买和以实提摩的父亲益巴。米列的犹大妻子生了基多的父亲雅列、梭哥的父亲希伯和撒挪亚的父亲耶古铁。 19 荷第雅的妻子、拿含的妹妹的儿子是迦米人基伊拉的父亲和玛迦人以实提摩的父亲。 20 示门的儿子是暗嫩、林拿、便.哈南和提伦。以示的儿子是梭黑和便.梭黑。 21 犹大的儿子是示拉;示拉的儿子是利迦的父亲珥、玛利沙的父亲拉大,以及在伯亚实比织造细麻布的众家族。 22 还有约敬、哥西巴人、约阿施和萨拉,他们曾统治摩押地,又有雅叔比利恒。这都是古代的记载。 23 他们都是陶匠,是尼他应和基低拉的居民;他们与王一起住在那里,为王作工。

西缅的子孙

24 西缅的儿子是尼母利、雅悯、雅立、谢拉和扫罗。 25 扫罗的儿子是沙龙;沙龙的儿子是米比衫;米比衫的儿子是米施玛。 26 米施玛的子孙如下:米施玛的儿子是哈母利;哈母利的儿子是撒刻;撒刻的儿子是示每。 27 示每有十六个儿子,六个女儿;他兄弟们的儿女却不多;他们各家的儿女,都不如犹大族的子孙那样多。 28 他们住在别是巴、摩拉大、哈萨.书亚、 29 辟拉、以森、陀腊、 30 彼土利、何珥玛、洗革拉、 31 伯.玛嘉博、哈萨.苏撒、伯.比利和沙拉音。直到大卫王的时代,这些都是他们的城市, 32 还有附近的村庄和以坦、亚因、临门、陀健和亚珊等五座城, 33 以及这些城周围所有的村庄,直到巴力。这是他们居住的地方,他们也有自己的族谱。 34 还有米所巴、雅米勒、亚玛谢的儿子约沙、 35 约珥、约示比的儿子耶户;约示比是西莱雅的儿子,西莱雅是亚薛的儿子。 36 还有以利约乃、雅哥巴、约朔海、亚帅雅、亚底业、耶西篾和比拿雅。 37 示非的儿子是细撒;示非是亚龙的儿子,亚龙是耶大雅的儿子,耶大雅是申利的儿子;申利是示玛雅的儿子。 38 以上所记的名字,都是各家族的领袖;他们的家族都很兴旺。 39 他们往基多的关口去,直到山谷的东面,为自己的羊群寻找草场。 40 他们找到了一块肥美的草场;那地十分宽阔,又清静、又安宁;从前住在那里的是含族的人。 41 以上这些有名字记录的人,在犹大王希西家的日子,前来攻击含族人的帐棚和那里所有的米乌尼人,把他们完全毁灭,直到今日,并且住在他们的地方,因为那里有草场,可以牧放他们的羊群。 42 在西缅人中有五百人往西珥山去,他们的首领是以示的儿子毘拉提、尼利雅、利法雅和乌薛。 43 他们击杀了逃脱余生的亚玛力人,就住在那里,直到今日。

4. LE TRIBU' MERIDIONALI

Giuda, Sobal

Figli di Giuda: Perez, Chezròn, Carmì, Cur e Sobal. Reaia figlio di Sobal generò Iacat; Iacat generò Acumài e Laad. Queste sono le famiglie degli Zoreatei.

Cur

Questi furono i figli del padre di Etam: Izreèl, Isma e Ibdas; la loro sorella si chiamava Azlelpòni. Penuel fu padre di Ghedor; Ezer fu padre di Cusa. Questi furono i figli di Cur il primogenito di Efrata padre di Betlemme.

Ascur

Ascùr padre di Tekòa aveva due mogli, Chelea e Naara. Naara gli partorì Acuzzàm, Chefer, il Temanita e l'Acastarita; questi furono figli di Naara. Figli di Chelea: Zeret, Zocar, Etnan e Koz.

Koz generò Anub, Azzobebà e le famiglie di Acarchè, figlio di Arum. Iabez fu più onorato dei suoi fratelli; sua madre l'aveva chiamato Iabez poiché diceva: «Io l'ho partorito con dolore». 10 Iabez invocò il Dio di Israele dicendo: «Se tu mi benedicessi e allargassi i miei confini e la tua mano fosse con me e mi tenessi lontano dal male sì che io non soffra!». Dio gli concesse quanto aveva chiesto.

Caleb

11 Chelub, fratello di Sucà, generò Mechir, che fu padre di Eston. 12 Eston generò Bet-Rafa, Paseach e Techinna, padre di Ir-Nacàs. Questi sono gli uomini di Reca.

13 Figli di Kenaz: Otniel e Seraià; figli di Otniel: Catat e Meonotài. 14 Meonotài generò Ofra; Seraià generò Ioab, padre della valle degli artigiani, poiché erano artigiani. 15 Figli di Caleb, figlio di Iefunne: Ir, Ela e Naam. Figli di Ela: Kenaz.

16 Figli di Ieallelèl: Zif, Zifa, Tiria e Asarèl. 17 Figli di Ezra: Ieter, Mered, Efer e Ialon. Partorì Miriam, Sammài e Isbach, padre di Estemoà. 18 Sua moglie, la Giudea, partorì Ieter padre di Ghedor, Cheber padre di Soco e Iekutièl padre di Zanòach. Questi invece sono i figli di Bitia, figlia del faraone, che Mered aveva presa in moglie.

19 Figli della moglie Odaia, sorella di Nacam, padre di Keilà il Garmita e di Estemoà il Maacateo. 20 Figli di Simone: Ammòn, Rinna, Ben-Canan e Tilon. Figli di Iseì: Zochet e Ben-Zochet.

Sela

21 Figli di Sela, figlio di Giuda: Er padre di Leca, Laadà padre di Maresà, e le famiglie dei lavoratori del bisso in Bet-Asbèa, 22 Iokim e la gente di Cozeba, Ioas e Saraf, che dominarono in Moab e poi tornarono in Betlemme. Ma si tratta di fatti antichi. 23 Erano vasai e abitavano a Netàim e a Ghederà; abitavano là con il re, al suo servizio.

Simeone

24 Figli di Simeone: Nemuèl, Iamin, Iarib, Zerach, Saul, 25 di cui fu figlio Sallùm, di cui fu figlio Mibsàm, di cui fu figlio Misma. 26 Figli di Misma: Cammuèl, di cui fu figlio Zaccur, di cui fu figlio Simei. 27 Simei ebbe sedici figli e sei figlie, ma i suoi fratelli ebbero pochi figli; le loro famiglie non si moltiplicarono come quelle dei discendenti di Giuda. 28 Si stabilirono in Bersabea, in Molada, in Cazar-Sual, 29 in Bila, in Ezem, in Tolad, 30 in Betuel, in Corma, in Ziklàg, 31 in Bet-Marcabòt, in Cazar-Susìm, in Bet-Bireì e in Saaràim. Queste furono le loro città fino al regno di Davide. 32 Loro villaggi erano Etam, Ain, Rimmòn, Tochen e Asan: cinque città 33 e tutti i villaggi dei loro dintorni fino a Baal. Questa era la loro sede e questi i loro nomi nei registri genealogici.

34 Mesobàb, Iamlech, Iosa figlio di Amasia, 35 Gioele, Ieu figlio di Iosibià, figlio di Seraià, figlio di Asièl, 36 Elioenài, Iaakòba, Iesocàia, Asaia, Adièl, Iesimièl, Benaià, 37 Ziza figlio di Sifei, figlio di Allon, figlio di Iedaià, figlio di Simrì, figlio di Semaià. 38 Questi, elencati per nome, erano capi nelle loro famiglie; i loro casati si estesero molto. 39 Andarono verso l'ingresso di Ghedor fino a oriente della valle in cerca di pascoli per i greggi. 40 Trovarono pascoli pingui e buoni; la regione era estesa, tranquilla e quieta.

Prima vi abitavano i discendenti di Cam. 41 Ma gli uomini di cui sono stati elencati i nomi, al tempo di Ezechia, re di Giuda, assalirono e sbaragliarono le tende di Cam e i Meuniti, che si trovavano là; li votarono allo sterminio, che è durato fino ad oggi, e ne occuparono il posto poiché era ricco di pascoli per i greggi.

42 Alcuni di loro, fra i discendenti di Simeone, andarono sulle montagne di Seir: cinquecento uomini, guidati da Pelatià, Nearia, Refaia e Uzzièl, figli di Iseì. 43 Eliminarono i superstiti degli Amaleciti e si stabilirono là fino ad oggi.

Descendants of Judah

(A)The sons of Judah were Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal. Reaiah the son of Shobal fathered Jahath, and Jahath fathered Ahumai and Lahad. These were the families of the Zorathites. These were the [a]sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazzelelponi. Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These were the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, the father of Bethlehem. Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, had two wives, Helah and Naarah. Naarah bore to him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah. The sons of Helah were Zereth, [b]Izhar, and Ethnan. Koz fathered Anub and Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel, the son of Harum. Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez, saying, “Because I gave birth to him in pain.” 10 Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would greatly bless me and extend my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would [c]keep me from harm so that it would not hurt me!” And God brought about what he requested.

11 Chelub the brother of Shuhah fathered Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. 12 Eshton fathered Beth-rapha and Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of [d]Ir-nahash. These are the men of Recah.

13 Now the sons of Kenaz were Othniel and Seraiah. And the sons of Othniel were Hathath and Meonothai. 14 Meonothai fathered Ophrah, and Seraiah fathered Joab the father of [e]Ge-harashim, for they were craftsmen. 15 The sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh were Iru, Elah, and Naam; and the [f]son of Elah was [g]Kenaz. 16 The sons of Jehallelel were Ziph and Ziphah, Tiria and Asarel. 17 The [h]sons of Ezrah were Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. And Mered’s wife conceived and gave birth to [i]Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa. 18 (His Jewish wife gave birth to Jered, the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah.) [j]These were the sons of Bithia the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered [k]married. 19 The sons of the wife of Hodiah, the sister of Naham, were the [l]fathers of Keilah the Garmite and Eshtemoa the Maacathite. 20 The sons of Shimon were Amnon and Rinnah, and Benhanan and Tilon. And the sons of Ishi were Zoheth and Ben-zoheth. 21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah were Er the father of Lecah and Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of the linen workers at Beth-ashbea; 22 and Jokim, the men of Cozeba, Joash, Saraph, who ruled in Moab, and Jashubi-lehem. And the [m]records are ancient. 23 These were the potters and the inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah; they lived there with the king for his work.

Descendants of Simeon

24 The sons of Simeon were [n]Nemuel and Jamin, [o]Jarib, [p]Zerah, and Shaul; 25 Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son. 26 The sons of Mishma were Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, and Shimei his son. 27 Now Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family increase like the sons of Judah. 28 They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar-shual, 29 in Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, 31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David. 32 Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five cities, 33 and all their settlements that were around the same cities as far as [q]Baal. These were their dwellings, and they have their genealogy.

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah, 35 Joel, Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel, 36 and Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, 37 and Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah— 38 these [r]mentioned by name were leaders in their families; and their fathers’ houses spread out greatly. 39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks. 40 They found pasture that was rich and good, and (B)the land was spread out on both sides, and peaceful and undisturbed; for those who lived there previously were Hamites. 41 (C)These people, recorded by name, came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and they [s]attacked their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and utterly destroyed them to this day; and they lived in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks. 42 From them, from the sons of Simeon, five hundred men went to (D)Mount Seir, with Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their leaders. 43 (E)They [t]destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and they have lived there to this day.

Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.

11 Kelub, Shuhah’s brother, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. 12 Eshton was the father of Beth Rapha, Paseah and Tehinnah the father of Ir Nahash.[d] These were the men of Rekah.

13 The sons of Kenaz:

Othniel(F) and Seraiah.

The sons of Othniel:

Hathath and Meonothai.[e] 14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah.

Seraiah was the father of Joab,

the father of Ge Harashim.[f] It was called this because its people were skilled workers.

15 The sons of Caleb son of Jephunneh:

Iru, Elah and Naam.

The son of Elah:

Kenaz.

16 The sons of Jehallelel:

Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria and Asarel.

(These records are from ancient times.) 23 They were the potters who lived at Netaim and Gederah; they stayed there and worked for the king.

Simeon(L)

24 The descendants of Simeon:(M)

Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib,(N) Zerah and Shaul;

25 Shallum was Shaul’s son, Mibsam his son and Mishma his son.

26 The descendants of Mishma:

Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son and Shimei his son.

27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children; so their entire clan did not become as numerous as the people of Judah. 28 They lived in Beersheba,(O) Moladah,(P) Hazar Shual, 29 Bilhah, Ezem,(Q) Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah,(R) Ziklag,(S) 31 Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri and Shaaraim.(T) These were their towns until the reign of David. 32 Their surrounding villages were Etam, Ain,(U) Rimmon, Token and Ashan(V)—five towns— 33 and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath.[g] These were their settlements. And they kept a genealogical record.

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah, 35 Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel, 36 also Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, 37 and Ziza son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.

38 The men listed above by name were leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly, 39 and they went to the outskirts of Gedor(W) to the east of the valley in search of pasture for their flocks. 40 They found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful and quiet.(X) Some Hamites had lived there formerly.

41 The men whose names were listed came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings and also the Meunites(Y) who were there and completely destroyed[h] them, as is evident to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks. 42 And five hundred of these Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, invaded the hill country of Seir.(Z) 43 They killed the remaining Amalekites(AA) who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day.
