Genesis 10
1 Now these are the generations of the sonnes of Noah, Shem, Ham and Iapheth: vnto whom sonnes were borne after the flood.
Hawa ndio wazao wa Noa: Shemu, Hamu na Yafethi, ambao walizaa wana baada ya gharika.
2 The sonnes of Iapheth were Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Iauan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Wana wa Yafethi walikuwa: Gomeri, Magogu, Madai, Yavani, Tubali, Mesheki na Tirasi.
3 And the sonnes of Gomer, Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Wana wa Gomeri walikuwa: Ashkenazi, Rifathi na Togarma.
4 Also the sonnes of Iauan, Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Wana wa Yavani walikuwa: Elisha, Tarshishi, Kitimu na Rodanimu.
5 Of these were the yles of the Gentiles deuided in their landes, euery man after his tongue, and after their families in their nations.
(Kutokana na hawa mataifa ya Pwani yalienea katika nchi zao, kwa koo zao katika mataifa yao, kila moja kwa lugha yake.)
6 Moreouer, ye sonnes of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, 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 begate Nimrod, who began to be mightie in the earth.
Kushi akamzaa Nimrodi, ambaye alikua akawa mtu shujaa duniani.
9 He was a mightie hunter before the Lord. wherefore it is saide, As Nimrod the mightie hunter before the Lord.
Alikuwa mwindaji hodari mbele za Bwana. Ndiyo sababu watu husema, “Kama Nimrodi, hodari wa kuwinda mbele za Bwana.”
10 And the beginning of his kingdome was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Vituo vyake vya kwanza katika ufalme wake vilikuwa Babeli, Ereki, Akadi na Kalne katika Shinari.
11 Out of that land came Asshur, and builded Niniueh, and the citie Rehoboth, and Calah:
Kutoka nchi ile alikwenda Ashuru, ambako alijenga Ninawi, Rehoboth-iri, Kala,
12 Resen also betweene Niniueh and Calah: this is a great citie.
na Reseni, iliyo kati ya Ninawi na Kala; huo ndio mji mkubwa.
13 And Mizraim begate Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim.
Misraimu alikuwa baba wa: Waludi, Waanami, Walehabi, Wanaftuhi,
14 Pathrusim also, and Casluhim (out of whom came the Philistims) and Caphtorims.
Wapathrusi, Wakasluhi (hao ndio asili ya Wafilisti), na Wakaftori.
15 Also Canaan begat Zidon his first borne, and Heth,
Kanaani alikuwa baba wa: Sidoni mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, Hethi,
16 And Iebusi, and Emori, and Girgashi,

17 And Hiui, and Arki, and Sini,
Wahivi, Waariki, Wasini,
18 And Aruadi, and Zemari, and Hamathi: and afterwarde were the families of the Canaanites spred abroade.
Waarvadi, Wasemari na Wahamathi. Baadaye koo za Wakanaani zilitawanyika,
19 Then the border of the Canaanites was from Zidon, as thou commest to Gerar vntil Azzah, and as thou goest vnto Sodom, and Gomorah, and Admah, and Zeboijm, euen vnto Lasha.
na mipaka ya Kanaani ilienea kutoka Sidoni kuelekea Gerari hadi Gaza, kisha kuelekea Sodoma, Gomora, Adma na Seboimu, hadi kufikia Lasha.
20 These are the sonnes of Ham according to their families, according to their tongues in their countries and in their nations.
Hawa ni wana wa Hamu kwa koo zao na lugha zao, katika nchi zao na mataifa yao.
21 Vnto Shem also the father of all the sonnes of Eber, and elder brother of Iapheth were children borne.
Shemu ambaye ni ndugu mkubwa wa Yafethi, kwake kulizaliwa wana pia. Shemu alikuwa baba wa wana wote wa Eberi.

24 Also Arpachshad begate Shelah, and Shelah begate Eber.
Arfaksadi alikuwa baba wa Shela, naye Shela akamzaa Eberi.
25 Vnto Eber also were borne two sonnes: the name of the one was Peleg: for in his dayes was the earth diuided: and his brothers name was Ioktan.
Eberi akapata wana wawili: Mmoja wao aliitwa Pelegi, kwa kuwa wakati wake ndipo dunia iligawanyika; nduguye aliitwa Yoktani.
26 Then Ioktan begate Almodad and Sheleph, and Hazarmaueth, and Ierah,

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest vnto Sephar a mount of the East.
Nchi waliyoishi ilienea toka Mesha kuelekea Sefari kwenye nchi ya vilima iliyoko mashariki.
31 These are the sonnes of Shem according to their families, according to their tongues, in their countreis and nations.
Hao ndio wana wa Shemu kwa koo zao na lugha zao, katika nchi zao na mataifa yao.
32 These are the families of the sonnes of Noah, after their generations among their people: and out of these were the nations diuided in the earth after the flood.
Hizi ndizo koo za wana wa Noa, kufuatana na vizazi vyao, katika mataifa yao. Kutokana na hawa mataifa yalienea duniani kote baada ya gharika.
