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.
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: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Wana wa Yafethi walikuwa Gomeri, Magogu, Madai, Yavani, Tubali, Masheki, na Tirasi.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Na wana wa Gomeri walikuwa Ashikenazi, Rifathi na Togama.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Wana wa Yavani walikuwa Elisha, Tarshishi, Kitimu, na Dodanimu.
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.
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 Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
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 Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
Kushi akamzaa Nimrodi, ambaye alikuwa hodari wa kwanza juu ya nchi.
9 He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, As Nimrod, the mighty hunter before Jehovah!
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 Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Miji ya kwanza ya ufalme wake ilikuwa Babeli, Ereku, Akadi na Kalne, katika ichi ya Shinari.
11 From that land went out Asshur, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
Kutoka katika nchi ile alikwenda Ashuru na akajenga Ninawi, Rehoboth- iri na Kala,
12 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: this is the great city.
na Raseni ambao ulikuwa kati ya Ninawi na Kala. Ulikuwa mji mkubwa.
13 — And Mizraim begot the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,
Misraimu akazaa Waludi, Waanami, Walehabi, na Wanaftuhi,
14 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, out of whom came the Philistines, and the Caphtorim.
Wapathrusi na Wakasluhi ( ambao kwao Wafilisti walitokea), na Wakaftori.
15 — And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,
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 Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Mhivi, Mwarki, Msini,
18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterwards the families of the Canaanites spread themselves abroad.
Mwarvadi, Msemari, na Mhamathi. Baadaye koo za wakanaani zikasambaa.
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.
Mpaka wa Wakanaani ulianzia Sidoni, katika mwelekeo wa Gerari, hata Gaza, na kama kuelekea Sodoma, Gomora, Adma, na Seboimu hata Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
Hawa walikuwa wana wa Ham, kwa koo zao, kwa lugha zao, katika ardhi zao na katika mataifa yao.
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.
Pia walizaliwa wana kwa Shemu, ndugu yake mkubwa wa Yafethi. Shemu pia alikuwa baba yao na watu wote wa Eberi.

24 — And Arphaxad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.
Arfaksadi akamzaa Sela, na Sela akamzaa 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.
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 Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Yoktani akamzaa Almodadi, Shelefu, Hasarmawethi, Yera,

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.
Mpaka wao ulikuwa unaanzia Mesha, hadi Sefari, mlima wa mashariki.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after 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 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.
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.
