Genesis 10
1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
Njalo lezi yizizukulwana zamadodana kaNowa: UShemu, uHamu loJafethi. Kwasekuzalwa amadodana kubo emva kukazamcolo.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
Amadodana kaJafethi: UGomeri loMagogi loMadayi loJavani loThubhali loMesheki loTirasi.
3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
Lamadodana kaGomeri: UAshikenazi loRifathi loTogarma.
4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.
Lamadodana kaJavani: UElisha loTarshishi, amaKiti lamaDodani.
5 From these, the coastlands of the nations separated into their territories, every one according to its language, according to their families, in their nations.
Kwehlukaniswa kusukela kubo izihlenge zezizwe emazweni abo, ngulowo lalowo ngokolimi lwakhe, langokosendo lwabo, ezizweni zabo.
6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
Lamadodana kaHamu: UKushi loMizirayimi loPuti loKhanani.
7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Lamadodana kaKushi: USeba loHavila loSabitha loRama loSabitheka. Lamadodana kaRahama: UShebha loDedani.
8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one on the earth.
UKushi wasezala uNimrodi; yena waqala ukuba liqhawe emhlabeni.
9 He was a mighty hunter before God. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before God."
Yena waba ngumzingeli olamandla phambi kweNkosi; ngakho kuthiwa: NjengoNimrodi, umzingeli olamandla phambi kweNkosi.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Lokuqala kombuso wakhe yiBabeli leEreki leAkadi leKaline elizweni leShinari.
11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth Ir, and Calah,
Kwaphuma kulelolizwe uAshuri, wasesakha iNineve leRehobothi-Ire leKala,
12 and Resen, between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.
leReseni phakathi kweNineve leKala; lo ngumuzi omkhulu.
13 And Mizraim became the father of Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
UMizirayimi wasezala amaLudi lamaAnami lamaLehabi lamaNafethuhi
14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, which the Philistines descended from, and Caphtorim.
lamaPatrusi lamaKaseluhi - lapho okwavela khona amaFilisti - lamaKafitori.
15 And Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth,
UKhanani wasezala uSidoni izibulo lakhe, loHethi,
16 and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, and the Girgashites,
lomJebusi lomAmori lomGirigashi
17 and the Hivites, and the Arkites, and the Sinites,
lomHivi lomArki lomSini
18 and the Arvadites, and the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
lomArvadi lomZemari lomHamathi; lemva kwalokho usendo lwamaKhanani lwahlakazeka.
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.
Umngcele wamaKhanani wasusukela eSidoni usiya eGerari uze ufike eGaza, usiya eSodoma leGomora leAdima leZeboyimi kuze kufike eLasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
La ngamadodana kaHamu, ngokosendo lwawo, langendimi zawo, emazweni awo, ezizweni zawo.
21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
UShemu laye wasezalelwa amadodana; unguyise wamadodana wonke akaEberi, umfowabo kaJafethi, omkhulu.
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
Amadodana kaShemu: UElamu loAshuri loArpakishadi loLudi loAramu.
23 The sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Lamadodana kaAramu: U-Uzi loHuli loGetheri loMashi.
24 And Arpachshad became the father of Kenan. And Kenan became the father of Shelah. And Shelah became the father of Eber.
UArpakishadi wasezala uShela; uShela wasezala uEberi.
25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.
Kwasekuzalelwa uEberi amadodana amabili, ibizo lomunye nguPelegi, ngoba ensukwini zayo umhlaba wehlukaniswa; lebizo lomfowabo nguJokithani.
26 And Joktan became the father of Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
UJokithani wasezala uAlimodadi loShelefi loHazamavethi loJera
27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
loHadoramu loUzali loDikila
28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
loObali loAbhimayeli loShebha
29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
loOfiri loHavila loJobabi; bonke labo ngamadodana kaJokithani.
30 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
Indawo yokuhlala kwabo isukela eMesha lapho usiya eSefari, intaba yempumalanga.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
La ngamadodana kaShemu, ngokosendo lwabo langendimi zabo, emazweni abo ngokwezizwe zabo.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations, and from these the nations branched out on the earth after the flood.
Lolu lusendo lwamadodana kaNowa ngezizukulwana zawo ezizweni zawo; kwasekusehlukaniswa kulaba izizwe emhlabeni emva kukazamcolo.
