< 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.
Ndị a bụ akụkọ banyere Shem, Ham na Jafet, ụmụ ndị ikom atọ Noa mụrụ. Ha onwe ha mụtara ụmụ nke aka ha, mgbe uju mmiri gafesịrị.

(Site nʼagbụrụ ndị a bi nʼakụkụ mmiri ka e nwetara mba dị iche iche, nʼagbụrụ ha nʼime obodo ha dị iche iche, ndị ọbụla nʼime ha nwekwara asụsụ nke ha.)

8 Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
Kush bụ nna Nimrọd, onye mesịrị bụrụ dike nʼagha nʼụwa.
9 And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.
Ọ bụ dike nʼịchụ nta, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji na-ekwu okwu na-asị, “Ị dị ka Nimrọd, dike nʼịchụ nta, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.”
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.
Obodo ndị bụ mmalite alaeze ya bụ, Babel, Erek, Akad na Kalne, ndị dị nʼala Shaịna.
11 Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
Site nʼala ahụ ọ gara Asịrịa, ebe o wuru obodo Ninive na Rehobọt Ia, na Kala,
12 Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.

14 And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.

15 And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,
Kenan bụ nna Saịdọn, ọkpara ya, na ndị Het,
16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,

17 The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,

18 And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
ndị Avad, ndị Zema na ndị Hamat. Emesịa, ndị ikwu Kenan gbasara,
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.
oke ala ndị Kenan sitere na Saịdọn ruo Gera, gbatịa ruo Gaza, ruokwa Sọdọm, Gọmọra, Adma na Zeboiim, nke dị nso Lasha.
20 These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
Ndị a bụ ụmụ ndị ikom Ham, dịka ikwu ha na asụsụ ha si dị, nʼoke ala ebe ha bi, na obodo ha dị iche iche.
21 Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
A mụụrụ Shem ụmụ ndị ikom, onye nwanne nwoke nke tọrọ ya bụ Jafet. Ọ bụkwa nna nna ochie ụmụ ndị ikom niile Eba mụtara.

23 The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether, and Mess.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Aram bụ, Uz, Hul, Geta na Meshek.
24 But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.
Apakshad bụ nna Shela, Shela bụrụ nna Eba.
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.
Eba mụtara ụmụ ndị ikom abụọ: Aha otu nʼime ha bụ Peleg, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼoge ndụ ya ka e kewara ụwa. Aha nwanne ya nwoke bụ Joktan.

Ọfịa, Havila na Jobab. Ndị a niile bụ ụmụ ndị ikom Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.
Akụkụ ala ha bi gbasapụrụ site na Mesha ruo Sefa nʼala ugwu ugwu nke ọwụwa anyanwụ.
31 These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
Ndị a niile bụ ụmụ ndị ikom Shem, dịka ikwu ha na asụsụ ha si dị, nʼoke ala ebe ha dị, na obodo ha dị iche iche.
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.
Ndị a bụ ndị ikwu ụmụ Noa ndị ikom dịka usoro ọmụmụ ha si dị, dịka ha si biri na mba dị iche iche. Ọ bụ site na ndị a ka mba niile si gbasasịa ruo akụkụ niile nke ụwa mgbe uju mmiri ahụ gafechara.
