Genesis 10
1 And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to them were sons born after the flood.
Noa ƒe viwo, Sem, Ham kple Yafet dzi viŋutsuwo le tsiɖɔɖɔ la megbe. Woƒe dzidzimeviwo yi ale:
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Yafet ƒe viwoe nye: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Yavan, Tubal, Mesek kple Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gomer ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Askenaz, Rifat kple Togarma.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Yavan ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Elisa, Tarsis, Kititɔwo kple Dodanitɔwo.
5 From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
(Woƒe dzidzimeviwo va zu ƒutadukɔwo le anyigba vovovowo dzi, eye woƒe gbegbɔgblɔwo to vovo tso wo nɔewo gbɔ.)
6 And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
Ham ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Kus, Egipte, Put kple Kanaan.
7 And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Kus ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raama kple Sabteka. Raama ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Seba kple Dedan.
8 And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
Kus ƒe dzidzimevie nye Nimrɔd, ame si va zu kalẽtɔ gã aɖe le anyigba la dzi.
9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah!
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 the beginning of 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 went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
Tso anyigba ma dzi la, eyi Asiria, afi si wòtu Ninive, Rehobot Ir, Kala
12 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.
kple Resen ɖo; Resen le Ninive kple Kala dome, eye eyae nye du gã la.
13 — And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,
Ame siwo nye Egipte ƒe dzidzimeviwo lae nye: Ludimtɔwo, Anamimtɔwo, Lehabitɔwo, Naftuhitɔwo,
14 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.
Patrusitɔwo, Kasluhitɔwo (ame siwo me Filistitɔwo dzɔ tso) kple Kaftoritɔwo.
15 — And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,
Kanaan ƒe viwo dometɔ aɖewoe nye: Sidon, ame si nye eƒe ŋgɔgbevi kple Het.
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
Kanaan ƒe dzidzimeviwoe nye: Yebusitɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Girgasitɔwo,
17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Hivitɔwo, Arkitɔwo, Sinitɔwo,
18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.
Arvaditɔwo, Zemaritɔwo kple Hamatitɔwo. (Kanaan ƒe dzidzimeviwo kaka
19 And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as one goes to Gerar, up to Gazah; as one goes to Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, up to Lesha.
tso Sidon yi Gerar va Gaza, Sodom, Gomora, Adma kple Zeboyim va se ɖe Lasa.)
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
Ame siawoe nye Ham ƒe dzidzimeviwo. Wonɔ anyigba geɖewo dzi, eye wonye dukɔ geɖewo. Gbegbɔgblɔ vovovowo nɔ wo si.
21 And to Shem — to him also were [sons] born; he is the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
Sem, ame si nye Yafet nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe vie nye Eber.
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Sem ƒe dzidzimeviwoe nye: Elam, Asur, Arfaxad, Lud kple 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 Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.
Arfaxad ƒe vie nye Sela, ame si dzi Eber.
25 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; 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.
26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Yoktan ƒe viwoe nye: Almodad, Selef, Hazarmavet, Yera,
27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Obal, Abimael, Seba,
29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were sons of Joktan.
Ofir, Havila kple Yobab. Ame siawo katã nye Yoktan ƒe viŋutsuwo.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.
(Yoktan ƒe dzidzimevi siawo nɔ teƒe si tso Mesa va do ɖe Sefar ƒe ɣetoɖoƒewo gbɔ.)
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
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, after their generations, in their nations. And from these came the distribution of the nations on the earth after the flood.
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.
