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.
Hawa ndio wazao wa Noa: Shemu, Hamu na Yafethi, ambao walizaa wana baada ya gharika.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tirass.
Wana wa Yafethi walikuwa: Gomeri, Magogu, Madai, Yavani, Tubali, Mesheki na Tirasi.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
Wana wa Gomeri walikuwa: Ashkenazi, Rifathi na Togarma.
4 And Javan's sons: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Wana wa Yavani walikuwa: Elisha, Tarshishi, Kitimu na Rodanimu.
5 From these were separated the isles of the nations in their lands, every one after his tongue: 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 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizrayim, Put and Canaan.
Wana wa Hamu walikuwa: Kushi, Misraimu, Putu na Kanaani.
7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah, Sabtah and Raamah, and Sabtecha; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Wana wa Kushi walikuwa: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raama na Sabteka. Wana wa Raama walikuwa: Sheba na Dedani.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty man on the earth.
Kushi akamzaa Nimrodi, ambaye alikua akawa mtu shujaa duniani.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod, a mighty 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 kingdom 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 went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city of Rechoboth, and Calach.
Kutoka nchi ile alikwenda Ashuru, ambako alijenga Ninawi, Rehoboth-iri, Kala,
12 And Ressen between Nineveh and Calach: the same is the great city.
na Reseni, iliyo kati ya Ninawi na Kala; huo ndio mji mkubwa.
13 And Mizrayim begat the Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuchim.
Misraimu alikuwa baba wa: Waludi, Waanami, Walehabi, Wanaftuhi,
14 And the Pethrussim, and Casluchin, [out of whom came the Pelishtim, ] and the Caphtorim.
Wapathrusi, Wakasluhi (hao ndio asili ya Wafilisti), na Wakaftori.
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth,
Kanaani alikuwa baba wa: Sidoni mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, Hethi,
16 And the Jebusite, and the Emorite, and the Girgashite,
Wayebusi, Waamori, Wagirgashi,
17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Wahivi, Waariki, Wasini,
18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
Waarvadi, Wasemari na Wahamathi. Baadaye koo za Wakanaani zilitawanyika,
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.
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 sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, in their nations.
Hawa ni wana wa Hamu kwa koo zao na lugha zao, katika nchi zao na mataifa yao.
21 But unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, were children born.
Shemu ambaye ni ndugu mkubwa wa Yafethi, kwake kulizaliwa wana pia. Shemu alikuwa baba wa wana wote wa Eberi.
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
Wana wa Shemu walikuwa: Elamu, Ashuru, Arfaksadi, Ludi na Aramu.
23 And the children of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Wana wa Aramu walikuwa: Usi, Huli, Getheri na Mesheki.
24 And Arpachshad begat Shelach; and Shelach begat Eber.
Arfaksadi alikuwa baba wa Shela, naye Shela akamzaa Eberi.
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.
Eberi akapata wana wawili: Mmoja wao aliitwa Pelegi, kwa kuwa wakati wake ndipo dunia iligawanyika; nduguye aliitwa Yoktani.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerach,
Yoktani alikuwa baba wa: Almodadi, Shelefu, Hasarmawethi, Yera,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Hadoramu, Uzali, Dikla,
28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba.
Obali, Abimaeli, Sheba,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
Ofiri, Havila na Yobabu. Hawa wote walikuwa wana wa Yoktani.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar, the mount of the east.
Nchi waliyoishi ilienea toka Mesha kuelekea Sefari kwenye nchi ya vilima iliyoko mashariki.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their 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 sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations; and from these were the nations separated on 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.
