1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
Yeinom ne Noa mmammarima: Wɔn ne Sem, Ham ne Yafet asefoɔ. Wɔwowoo mmammarima nsuyire no akyiri.

Kus woo Nimrod. Na Nimrod bɛyɛɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ wɔ asase so.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD”.
Na ɔyɛ ɔbɔmmɔfoɔ kɛseɛ a Awurade ahyira no, na wɔbɔ ne din ka asɛm. Na obiara a ɔyɛ akokoɔdurusɛm no, wɔde no toto Nimrod a na ɔyɛ ɔbɔmmɔfoɔ kɛseɛ a Awurade ahyira no no ho.
10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Nʼahennie hyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Babilonia, Erek, Akad ne Kalne a, ne nyinaa wɔ Sinear asase so.
11 Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha.
Kanaan nsase ahyeɛ trɛ firii Sidon kɔduruu Gerar de kɔsii Gasa kɔduruu Sodom ne Gomora, Adma, Seboim de kɔsi Lasa.
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.
