Genesis 10
1 These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were 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 Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
Yafet ƒe viwoe nye: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Yavan, Tubal, Mesek kple Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.
Gomer ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Askenaz, Rifat kple Togarma.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.
Yavan ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Elisa, Tarsis, Kititɔwo kple Dodanitɔwo.
5 By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and 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 Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.
Ham ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Kus, Egipte, Put kple Kanaan.
7 And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.
Kus ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raama kple Sabteka. Raama ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Seba kple Dedan.
8 Now Chus begot Nemrod: 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 And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.
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 Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.
Eɖu Babel, Erek, Akad kple Kalne si nɔ Sinarnyigba la dzi gbã.
11 Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
Tso anyigba ma dzi la, eyi Asiria, afi si wòtu Ninive, Rehobot Ir, Kala
12 Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.
kple Resen ɖo; Resen le Ninive kple Kala dome, eye eyae nye du gã la.
13 And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,
Ame siwo nye Egipte ƒe dzidzimeviwo lae nye: Ludimtɔwo, Anamimtɔwo, Lehabitɔwo, Naftuhitɔwo,
14 And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.
Patrusitɔwo, Kasluhitɔwo (ame siwo me Filistitɔwo dzɔ tso) kple Kaftoritɔwo.
15 And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,
Kanaan ƒe viwo dometɔ aɖewoe nye: Sidon, ame si nye eƒe ŋgɔgbevi kple Het.
16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,
Kanaan ƒe dzidzimeviwoe nye: Yebusitɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Girgasitɔwo,
17 The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,
Hivitɔwo, Arkitɔwo, Sinitɔwo,
18 And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
Arvaditɔwo, Zemaritɔwo kple Hamatitɔwo. (Kanaan ƒe dzidzimeviwo kaka
19 And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.
tso Sidon yi Gerar va Gaza, Sodom, Gomora, Adma kple Zeboyim va se ɖe Lasa.)
20 These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
Ame siawoe nye Ham ƒe dzidzimeviwo. Wonɔ anyigba geɖewo dzi, eye wonye dukɔ geɖewo. Gbegbɔgblɔ vovovowo nɔ wo si.
21 Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
Sem, ame si nye Yafet nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe vie nye Eber.
22 The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Sem ƒe dzidzimeviwoe nye: Elam, Asur, Arfaxad, Lud kple Aram.
23 The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether, and Mess.
Aram ƒe dzizimeviwoe nye: Uz, Hul, Geter kple Mas.
24 But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.
Arfaxad ƒe vie nye Sela, ame si dzi Eber.
25 And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother’s name Jectan.
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 Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,
Yoktan ƒe viwoe nye: Almodad, Selef, Hazarmavet, Yera,
27 And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,
Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla,
28 And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,
Obal, Abimael, Seba,
29 And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.
Ofir, Havila kple Yobab. Ame siawo katã nye Yoktan ƒe viŋutsuwo.
30 And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.
(Yoktan ƒe dzidzimevi siawo nɔ teƒe si tso Mesa va do ɖe Sefar ƒe ɣetoɖoƒewo gbɔ.)
31 These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
Ame siawoe nye Sem ƒe dzidzimeviwo. Woɖo wo ɖe woƒe dukɔwo, gbegbɔgblɔwo kple woƒe nɔƒewo nu.
32 These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided 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.
