Genesis 10
1 This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.
Nayi mbiri ya ana a Nowa, Semu, Hamu ndi Yafeti. Ana atatuwa anabereka ana awo chitatha chigumula.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites.
Ana aamuna a Yavani anali: Elisa, Tarisisi, Kitimu ndi Rodanimu.
5 From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.
(Amenewa ndiwo makolo a anthu okhala mʼmphepete mwa nyanja. Awa ndi ana a Yafeti monga mwa mafuko a mu mitundu yawo, uliwonse ndi chiyankhulo chake).
6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.
Kusi anabereka Nimurodi amene anali wankhondo wamphamvu kwambiri pa dziko lapansi.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
Iye anali mlenje wamphamvu kwambiri pamaso pa Yehova; nʼchifukwa chake anthu ali ndi chisudzo, chakuti, “Ndiwe mlenje wamphamvu kwambiri pamaso pa Yehova monga Nimurodi.”
10 His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Malo oyambirira a ufumu wake anali Babeli, Ereki, Akadi ndi Kaline. Malo onsewa anali mʼdziko la Sinara.
11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
Atachoka mʼdziko limeneli anapita ku Asiriya kumene anakamanga Ninive, Rehoboti-Iri, Kala,
12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.
ndi Reseni, mzinda waukulu umene uli pakati pa Ninive ndi Kala.
13 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,
Igupto ndiye kholo la Aludi, Aanami, Alehabu, Anafutu,
14 the Pathrusites, the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.
Apaturusi, Akasilu ndi Akafitori (kumene kunachokera Afilisti).
15 And Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites,
Kanaani anabereka mwana wake wachisamba, Sidoni, ndipo anaberekanso Ahiti;
16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
Ayebusi, Aamori, Agirigasi;
17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
Ahivi, Aariki, Asini,
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans were scattered,
Aaravadi, Azemari ndi Ahamati. Pambuyo pake, mafuko a Akanaani anafalikira ponseponse,
19 and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
mpaka ku malire a Kanaani. Malirewo anachokera ku Sidoni kulowa cha ku Gerari mpaka ku Gaza, ndi kulowa ku Sodomu, Gomora, Adima ndi Zeboimu mpaka ku Lasa.
20 These are the sons of Ham according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.
Amenewa ndiwo ana aamuna a Hamu monga mwa mafuko ndi ziyankhulo zawo, mʼmadera omwe amakhala ndi mitundu yawo.
21 And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.
Semu amene anali mkulu wake wa Yafeti nayenso anabereka nakhala kholo la Eberi.
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
Ana aamuna a Semu anali: Elamu, Asuri, Aripakisadi, Ludi ndi Aramu.
23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
Ana aamuna a Aramu anali: Uzi, Huri, Geteri ndi Mesaki.
24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah was the father of Eber.
Aripakisadi anabereka Sela, ndipo Selayo anabereka Eberi.
25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and his brother was named Joktan.
A Eberi anabereka ana aamuna awiri: Wina anamutcha Pelegi chifukwa pa nthawiyo anthu a pa dziko lapansi anagawikana. Dzina la mʼbale wake linali Yokitani.
26 And Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
Ofiri, Havila ndi Yobabu. Onsewa anali ana aamuna a Yokitani.
30 Their territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
Chigawo chimene ankakhala chinayambira ku Mesa mpaka ku Seferi, ku dera la mapiri chakummawa.
31 These are the sons of Shem, according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.
Amenewa ndiwo ana a Semu monga mwa mafuko ndi ziyankhulo zawo, mʼmadera omwe ankakhala ndi mitundu yawo.
32 All these are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their generations and nations. From these the nations of the earth spread out after the flood.
Amenewa ndiwo mafuko a ana aamuna a Nowa monga mwa mibado ya mitundu yawo. Mitundu yonse ya anthu inatuluka mwa iwowa ndi kufalikira pa dziko lonse lapansi chitatha chigumula chija.
