Genesis 10
1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood.
Lo ngumlando kaShemu, loHamu loJafethi, amadodana kaNowa, okwathi bona ngokwabo baba lamadodana ngemva kwesikhukhula.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tirass.
Amadodana kaJafethi ayeyila: uGomeri, uMagogi, uMadayi uJavani, uThubhali, uMesheki loThirasi.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
Amadodana kaGomeri ayeyila: u-Ashikhenazi, uRifathi kanye loThogarima.
4 And Javan's sons: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Amadodana kaJavani ayeyila: u-Elisha, uThashishi, uKhithimi loRodanimu.
5 From these were separated the isles of the nations in their lands, every one after his tongue: after their families, in their nations.
(Kusukela kulaba abahlala ngasolwandle behlukana ngezigodi zabo, yilabo ngosendo lwabo bephakathi kwezizwe zabo, kuyilabo lalabo bekhuluma ulimi lwabo.)
6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizrayim, Put and Canaan.
Amadodana kaHamu ayeyila: uKhushi, uMizirayimi, uPhuthi loKhenani.
7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah, Sabtah and Raamah, and Sabtecha; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Amadodana kaKhushi ayeyila: uSebha, uHavila, uSabhitha, uRahama loSabhitheka. Amadodana kaRahama ayeyila: uShebha loDedani.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty man on the earth.
UKhushi wayenguyise kaNimrodi, owakhula waba liqhawe elilamandla emhlabeni.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.
Wayengumzingeli omkhulu phambi kukaThixo; kungakho lokho kwathiwa, “NjengoNimrodi, umzingeli omkhulu phambi kukaThixo.”
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Izindawo ezinkulu zembusweni wakhe kwakuyiBhabhiloni, i-Erekhi, i-Akhadi leKhaline eShinari.
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city of Rechoboth, and Calach.
Esuka kulelolizwe waya e-Asiriya lapho akha khona iNiniva, iRehobhothi, i-Iri, iKhala
12 And Ressen between Nineveh and Calach: the same is the great city.
leReseni ephakathi kweNiniva leKhala; yilo idolobho elikhulukazi.
13 And Mizrayim begat the Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuchim.
UMizirayimi wayenguyise wamaLudi, ama-Anami, amaLehabhi, amaNafithuhi,
14 And the Pethrussim, and Casluchin, [out of whom came the Pelishtim, ] and the Caphtorim.
amaPhathrosi lamaKhasiluhi (okwadabuka khona amaFilistiya) lamaKhafithori.
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth,
UKhenani wayenguyise kaSidoni izibulo lakhe, amaHithi,
16 And the Jebusite, and the Emorite, and the Girgashite,
amaJebusi, ama-Amori, amaGigashi,
17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
amaHivi, ama-Arikhi, amaSini,
18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
ama-Avadi, amaZemari kanye lamaHamathi. (Muva izizwana zamaKhenani zasabalala
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gazzah; as thou goest unto Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboyim, even unto Lesha.
kwathi imingcele yeKhenani yasukela eSidoni isiya eGerari kufika eGaza, besekuqonda eSodoma, leGomora, le-Adima leZebhoyimi kuze kuyefika eLasha.)
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, in their nations.
La yiwo amadodana kaHamu ngokosendo lwawo langezindimi zawo, ezigodini zawo kanye langezizwe zawo.
21 But unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, were children born.
Amadodana azalwa njalo kuShemu, umnewabo owayenguJafethi; uShemu wayengukhokho wawo wonke amadodana ka-Ebha.
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
Amadodana kaShemu ayeyila: u-Elamu, u-Ashuri, u-Afazadi, uLudi lo-Aramu.
23 And the children of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Amadodana ka-Aramu ayeyila: u-Uzi, uHuli, uGetha loMesheki.
24 And Arpachshad begat Shelach; and Shelach begat Eber.
U-Afazadi wayenguyise kaShela, uShela wazala u-Ebha.
25 And unto Eber were born two sons; the name of one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Amadodana amabili ayezalwa ngu-Ebha ayeyila: Omunye wayenguPhelegi, ngoba ngezinsuku zakhe umhlaba wawudabuke phakathi; umfowabo kwakuthiwa nguJokithani.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerach,
UJokithani wayenguyise ka-Alimodadi, uShelefi, uHazarimavethi, uJera,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
uHadoramu, u-Uzali, uDikila,
28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba.
u-Obhali, u-Abhimayeli, uShebha,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
u-Ofiri, uHavila kanye loJobhabhi. Bonke laba babengamadodana kaJokithani.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar, the mount of the east.
Isigodi ababehlala kuso sasisukela eMesha kusiya eSefari elizweni elilamaqaqa elisempumalanga.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
La ngamadodana kaShemu ngokosendo lwawo langezindimi zawo, emazweni awo lezizweni zawo.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations; and from these were the nations separated on the earth after the flood.
Lezi zinsendo zamadodana kaNowa kusiya ngemindeni yazo, phakathi kwezizwe zawo. Kusukela kuzo, izizwe zahlakazeka zagcwala umhlaba wonke emva kukazamcolo.
