Kus ƒe dzidzimevie nye Nimrɔd, ame si va zu kalẽtɔ gã aɖe le anyigba la dzi.
9 He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.
Enye adela xɔŋkɔ aɖe si Yehowa yra, eye ame geɖewo kafunɛ. Amewo ɖia ɖase tso ame bubuwo ŋu be wole “abe Nimrɔd, adela xɔŋkɔ si Yehowa yra la ene.”
10 And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Eɖu Babel, Erek, Akad kple Kalne si nɔ Sinarnyigba la dzi gbã.
11 From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,
Tso anyigba ma dzi la, eyi Asiria, afi si wòtu Ninive, Rehobot Ir, Kala
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.

15 And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, and Heth,

19 Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.
tso Sidon yi Gerar va Gaza, Sodom, Gomora, Adma kple Zeboyim va se ɖe Lasa.)
20 All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.

21 And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition.

22 These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.
Aram ƒe dzizimeviwoe nye: Uz, Hul, Geter kple Mas.
24 And Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.
Arfaxad ƒe vie nye Sela, ame si dzi Eber.
25 And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Vi eve nɔ Eber si: woawoe nye Peleg kple Yoktan. Peleg gɔmee nye “Memama,” elabena eƒe agbenɔɣi mee woma anyigba na gbe vovovoawo gblɔlawo.

30 And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east.
(Yoktan ƒe dzidzimevi siawo nɔ teƒe si tso Mesa va do ɖe Sefar ƒe ɣetoɖoƒewo gbɔ.)
31 These, with their families and their languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem.
Ame siawoe nye Sem ƒe dzidzimeviwo. Woɖo wo ɖe woƒe dukɔwo, gbegbɔgblɔwo kple woƒe nɔƒewo nu.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters.
Ame siwo katã woyɔ va yi la nye Noa ƒe dzidzimeviwo, to dzidzime geɖewo me, eye wonɔ dukɔ vovovo siwo dzɔ le tsiɖɔɖɔ megbe la me.
