Genesis 10
1 Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
Hivi ndivyo vilikuwa vizazi vya wana wa Nuhu, ambao ni, Shemu, Hamu, na Yafethi. Wana wa kiume walizaliwa kwao baada ya gharika.
2 The sons of Japheth, Gamer, and Magog, and Madoi, and Jovan, and Elisa, and Thobel, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
Wana wa Yafethi walikuwa Gomeri, Magogu, Madai, Yavani, Tubali, Masheki, na Tirasi.
3 And the sons of Gamer, Aschanaz, and Riphath, and Thorgama.
Na wana wa Gomeri walikuwa Ashikenazi, Rifathi na Togama.
4 And the sons of Jovan, Elisa, and Tharseis, Cetians, Rhodians.
Wana wa Yavani walikuwa Elisha, Tarshishi, Kitimu, na Dodanimu.
5 From these were the islands of the Gentiles divided in their land, each according to his tongue, in their tribes and in their nations.
Kutoka kwa hawa watu wa pwani waligawanyika na kwenda kwenye ardhi zao, kila mtu na lugha yake, kufuatana na koo zao, kwa mataifa yao.
6 And the sons of Cham, Chus, and Mesrain, Phud, and Chanaan.
Wana wa Hamu walikuwa Kushi, Misraimu, Putu, na Kanaani.

Wana wa Kushi walikuwa Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raama, na Sabteka. Wana wa Raama walikuwa Sheba na Dedani.
8 And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.
Kushi akamzaa Nimrodi, ambaye alikuwa hodari wa kwanza juu ya nchi.
9 He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
Alikuwa mwindaji mkuu mbele ya Yahwe. Hii ndiyo sababu hunenwa, “Kama Nimrod mwindaji mkuu mbele za Yahwe.”
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar.
Miji ya kwanza ya ufalme wake ilikuwa Babeli, Ereku, Akadi na Kalne, katika ichi ya Shinari.
11 Out of that land came Assur, and built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach,
Kutoka katika nchi ile alikwenda Ashuru na akajenga Ninawi, Rehoboth- iri na Kala,
12 and Dase between Ninevi and Chalach: this is the great city.
na Raseni ambao ulikuwa kati ya Ninawi na Kala. Ulikuwa mji mkubwa.
13 And Mesrain begot the Ludiim, and the Nephthalim, and the Enemetiim, and the Labiim,
Misraimu akazaa Waludi, Waanami, Walehabi, na Wanaftuhi,
14 and the Patrosoniim, and the Chasmoniim (whence came forth Phylistiim) and the Gaphthoriim.
Wapathrusi na Wakasluhi ( ambao kwao Wafilisti walitokea), na Wakaftori.
15 And Chanaan begot Sidon his first-born, and the Chettite,
Kanaani akamzaa Sidono, mwanawe wa kwanza, na Hethi,
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
pia na Myebusi, na Mwamori, Mgirgashi,
17 and the Evite, and the Arukite, and the Asennite,
Mhivi, Mwarki, Msini,
18 and the Aradian, and the Samarean, and the Amathite; and after this the tribes of the Chananites were dispersed.
Mwarvadi, Msemari, na Mhamathi. Baadaye koo za wakanaani zikasambaa.
19 And the boundaries of the Chananites were from Sidon till one comes to Gerara and Gaza, till one comes to Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, as far as Dasa.
Mpaka wa Wakanaani ulianzia Sidoni, katika mwelekeo wa Gerari, hata Gaza, na kama kuelekea Sodoma, Gomora, Adma, na Seboimu hata Lasha.
20 There [were] the sons of Cham in their tribes according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Hawa walikuwa wana wa Ham, kwa koo zao, kwa lugha zao, katika ardhi zao na katika mataifa yao.
21 And to Sem himself also were children born, the father of all the sons of Heber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
Pia walizaliwa wana kwa Shemu, ndugu yake mkubwa wa Yafethi. Shemu pia alikuwa baba yao na watu wote wa Eberi.

24 And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala. And Sala begot Heber.
Arfaksadi akamzaa Sela, na Sela akamzaa Eber.
25 And to Heber were born two sons, the name of the one, Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother Jektan.
Eberi akazaa wana wawili wa kiume. Jina la mmoja aliitwa Pelegi maana katika siku zake nchi iligawanyika. Jina la ndugu yake aliitwa Yoktani.
26 And Jektan begot Elmodad, and Saleth, and Sarmoth, and Jarach,
Yoktani akamzaa Almodadi, Shelefu, Hasarmawethi, Yera,

30 And their dwelling was from Masse, till one comes to Saphera, a mountain of the east.
Mpaka wao ulikuwa unaanzia Mesha, hadi Sefari, mlima wa mashariki.
31 These were the sons of Sem in their tribes, according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Hawa walikuwa wana wa Shemu, kulingana na koo zao na lugha zao, katika ardhi zao kulingana na mataifa yao.
32 These are the tribes of the sons of Noe, according to their generations, according to their nations: of them were the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.
Hizi zilikuwa koo za wana wa Nuhu, kulingana na vizazi vyao, kwa mataifa yao. Kutokea kwa hawa mataifa yaligawanyika na kwenda juu ya nchi baada ya gharika.
