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.
Hawa ndio wazao wa Noa: Shemu, Hamu na Yafethi, ambao walizaa wana 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, Mesheki na Tirasi.
3 And the sons of Gamer, Aschanaz, and Riphath, and Thorgama.
Wana wa Gomeri walikuwa: Ashkenazi, Rifathi na Togarma.
4 And the sons of Jovan, Elisa, and Tharseis, Cetians, Rhodians.
Wana wa Yavani walikuwa: Elisha, Tarshishi, Kitimu na Rodanimu.
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.
(Kutokana na hawa mataifa ya Pwani yalienea katika nchi zao, kwa koo zao katika mataifa yao, kila moja kwa lugha yake.)
6 And the sons of Cham, Chus, and Mesrain, Phud, and Chanaan.
Wana wa Hamu walikuwa: Kushi, Misraimu, Putu na Kanaani.
7 And the sons of Chus, Saba, and Evila, and Sabatha, and Rhegma, and Sabathaca. And the sons of Rhegma, Saba, and Dadan.
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 alikua akawa mtu shujaa duniani.
9 He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
Alikuwa mwindaji hodari mbele za Bwana. Ndiyo sababu watu husema, “Kama Nimrodi, hodari wa kuwinda mbele za Bwana.”
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar.
Vituo vyake vya kwanza katika ufalme wake vilikuwa Babeli, Ereki, Akadi na Kalne katika Shinari.
11 Out of that land came Assur, and built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach,
Kutoka nchi ile alikwenda Ashuru, ambako alijenga Ninawi, Rehoboth-iri, Kala,
12 and Dase between Ninevi and Chalach: this is the great city.
na Reseni, iliyo kati ya Ninawi na Kala; huo ndio mji mkubwa.
13 And Mesrain begot the Ludiim, and the Nephthalim, and the Enemetiim, and the Labiim,
Misraimu alikuwa baba wa: Waludi, Waanami, Walehabi, Wanaftuhi,
14 and the Patrosoniim, and the Chasmoniim (whence came forth Phylistiim) and the Gaphthoriim.
Wapathrusi, Wakasluhi (hao ndio asili ya Wafilisti), na Wakaftori.
15 And Chanaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and the Chettite,
Kanaani alikuwa baba wa: Sidoni mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, Hethi,
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
Wayebusi, Waamori, Wagirgashi,
17 and the Evite, and the Arukite, and the Asennite,
Wahivi, Waariki, Wasini,
18 and the Aradian, and the Samarean, and the Amathite; and after this the tribes of the Chananites were dispersed.
Waarvadi, Wasemari na Wahamathi. Baadaye koo za Wakanaani zilitawanyika,
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.
na mipaka ya Kanaani ilienea kutoka Sidoni kuelekea Gerari hadi Gaza, kisha kuelekea Sodoma, Gomora, Adma na Seboimu, hadi kufikia Lasha.
20 There [were] the sons of Cham in their tribes according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Hawa ni wana wa Hamu kwa koo zao na lugha zao, katika nchi zao na 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.
Shemu ambaye ni ndugu mkubwa wa Yafethi, kwake kulizaliwa wana pia. Shemu alikuwa baba wa wana wote wa Eberi.
22 Sons of Sem, Elam, and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Cainan.
Wana wa Shemu walikuwa: Elamu, Ashuru, Arfaksadi, Ludi na Aramu.
23 And sons of Aram, Uz, and Ul, and Gater, and Mosoch.
Wana wa Aramu walikuwa: Usi, Huli, Getheri na Mesheki.
24 And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala. And Sala begot Heber.
Arfaksadi alikuwa baba wa Shela, naye Shela akamzaa Eberi.
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 akapata wana wawili: Mmoja wao aliitwa Pelegi, kwa kuwa wakati wake ndipo dunia iligawanyika; nduguye aliitwa Yoktani.
26 And Jektan begot Elmodad, and Saleth, and Sarmoth, and Jarach,
Yoktani alikuwa baba wa: Almodadi, Shelefu, Hasarmawethi, Yera,
27 and Odorrha, and Aibel, and Decla,
Hadoramu, Uzali, Dikla,
28 Eval, and Abimael, and Saba,
Obali, Abimaeli, Sheba,
29 and Uphir, and Evila, and Jobab, all these were the sons of Jektan.
Ofiri, Havila na Yobabu. Hawa wote walikuwa wana wa Yoktani.
30 And their dwelling was from Masse, till one comes to Saphera, a mountain of the east.
Nchi waliyoishi ilienea toka Mesha kuelekea Sefari kwenye nchi ya vilima iliyoko mashariki.
31 These were the sons of Sem in their tribes, according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Hao ndio wana wa Shemu kwa koo zao na lugha zao, katika nchi zao 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 ndizo koo za wana wa Noa, kufuatana na vizazi vyao, katika mataifa yao. Kutokana na hawa mataifa yalienea duniani kote baada ya gharika.
