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.
Tala libota ya Noa: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti; bango mpe babotaki bakitani sima na mpela.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Bana mibali ya Jafeti: Gomeri, Magogi, Madayi, Yavani, Tubali, Mesheki mpe Tirasi.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Bana mibali ya Gomeri: Ashikenazi, Rifati mpe Togarima.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Bana mibali ya Yavani: Elisha, Tarsisi, Kitimi mpe Dodanimi.
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.
Bakitani na bango nde bavandaki na bisanga mpe na bamboka ya pembeni ya mayi. Moko na moko kati na bango azwaki mokili na ye kolanda lokota na ye, etuka na ye mpe libota na ye.
6 And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
Bana mibali ya Cham: Kushi, Mitsirayimi, Puti mpe Kanana.
7 And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Bana mibali ya Kushi: Seba, Avila, Sabita, Raema mpe Sabiteka. Bana mibali ya Raema: Sheba mpe Dedani.
8 And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
Kushi azalaki mpe tata ya Nimirodi oyo azalaki elombe ya liboso ya bitumba kati na mokili.
9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah!
Azalaki mobomi monene ya banyama na miso ya Yawe. Yango wana, balobaka: « Mobomi monene ya banyama lokola Nimirodi na miso ya Yawe. »
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Bingumba ya liboso ya mokili na ye ezalaki Babeli, Ereki, Akadi mpe Kaline na mokili ya Shineari.
11 From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
Longwa na mokili wana, alekaki na Asiri mpe atongaki Ninive, Reoboti-Iri, Kala
12 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.
mpe Reseni, engumba monene na kati-kati ya Ninive mpe Kala.
13 — And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,
Mitsirayimi azalaki koko ya bato ya Ludi, ya Anami, ya Leabi, ya Nafitu,
14 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.
ya Patrusi, ya Kasilu (oyo babimisa bato ya Filisitia) mpe ya Kereti.
15 — And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,
Kanana azalaki tata ya Sidoni, mwana na ye ya liboso, ya Eti,
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
ya Yebusi, ya Amori, ya Girigazi,
17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
ya Evi, ya Ariki, ya Sini,
18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.
ya Arivadi, ya Tsemari mpe ya Amati. (Mpe na sima, bato ya mabota nyonso ya Kanana bapalanganaki bipai na bipai.
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.
Mokili ya bato ya Kanana ebandaki wuta na Sidoni, na nzela ya Gerari, kino na Gaza; mpe na nzela ya Sodome, ya Gomore, ya Adima mpe ya Tseboyimi kino na Lesha.)
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
Bango nde bazalaki bakitani ya Cham kolanda mabota mpe nkota na bango, kati na mikili mpe bikolo na bango.
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.
Semi, kulutu ya Jafeti, abotaki mpe bana; azalaki koko ya Eberi mpe ya bakitani na ye.
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Bana mibali ya Semi: Elami, Asuri, Aripakishadi, Ludi mpe Arami.
23 And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Bana mibali ya Arami: Utsi, Uli, Geteri mpe Mashi.
24 — And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.
Aripakishadi abotaki Shela; Shela abotaki Eberi.
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.
Eberi abotaki bana mibali mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Pelegi, » pamba te na tango na ye nde bakabolaki mabele; mpe mosusu, « Yokitani. »
26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Yokitani abotaki Alimodadi, Shelefi, Atsarimaveti, Yera,
27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Adorami, Uzali, Dikila,
28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Obali, Abimaeli, Saba,
29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were sons of Joktan.
Ofiri, Avila mpe Yobabi. Bango nyonso wana bazalaki bakitani ya Yokitani.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.
(Mokili oyo bazalaki kovanda ebandaki wuta na Mesha kino na Sefari, na mokili ya bangomba ya este.)
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Bango nde bazalaki bana mibali ya Semi kolanda bituka mpe nkota na bango, kati na mikili mpe bikolo na bango.
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.
Wana nde bituka ya bana mibali ya Noa kolanda milongo mpe mikili na bango. Bato nyonso oyo batondisaki mokili sima na mpela babotamaki na nzela na bango.
