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.
Noa ƒe viwo, Sem, Ham kple Yafet dzi viŋutsuwo le tsiɖɔɖɔ la megbe. Woƒe dzidzimeviwo yi ale:
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Yavan ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Elisa, Tarsis, Kititɔwo kple Dodanitɔwo.
5 Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue; after their families, in their nations.
(Woƒe dzidzimeviwo va zu ƒutadukɔwo le anyigba vovovowo dzi, eye woƒe gbegbɔgblɔwo to vovo tso wo nɔewo gbɔ.)
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Kus ƒe dzidzimevie nye Nimrɔd, ame si va zu kalẽtɔ gã aɖe le anyigba la dzi.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.
Enye adela xɔŋkɔ aɖe si Yehowa yra, eye ame geɖewo kafunɛ. Amewo ɖia ɖase tso ame bubuwo ŋu be wole “abe Nimrɔd, adela xɔŋkɔ si Yehowa yra la ene.”
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Eɖu Babel, Erek, Akad kple Kalne si nɔ Sinarnyigba la dzi gbã.
11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
Tso anyigba ma dzi la, eyi Asiria, afi si wòtu Ninive, Rehobot Ir, Kala
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim.
Patrusitɔwo, Kasluhitɔwo (ame siwo me Filistitɔwo dzɔ tso) kple Kaftoritɔwo.
15 And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth;
Kanaan ƒe viwo dometɔ aɖewoe nye: Sidon, ame si nye eƒe ŋgɔgbevi kple Het.
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;

17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite;
Hivitɔwo, Arkitɔwo, Sinitɔwo,
18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.
Arvaditɔwo, Zemaritɔwo kple Hamatitɔwo. (Kanaan ƒe dzidzimeviwo kaka
19 And the border of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha.
tso Sidon yi Gerar va Gaza, Sodom, Gomora, Adma kple Zeboyim va se ɖe Lasa.)
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
Ame siawoe nye Ham ƒe dzidzimeviwo. Wonɔ anyigba geɖewo dzi, eye wonye dukɔ geɖewo. Gbegbɔgblɔ vovovowo nɔ wo si.
21 And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
Sem, ame si nye Yafet nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe vie nye Eber.
22 The sons of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
Sem ƒe dzidzimeviwoe nye: Elam, Asur, Arfaxad, Lud kple Aram.
23 And the sons of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Aram ƒe dzizimeviwoe nye: Uz, Hul, Geter kple Mas.
24 And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber.
Arfaxad ƒe vie nye Sela, ame si dzi Eber.
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
Vi eve nɔ Eber si: woawoe nye Peleg kple Yoktan. Peleg gɔmee nye “Memama,” elabena eƒe agbenɔɣi mee woma anyigba na gbe vovovoawo gblɔlawo.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;

Obal, Abimael, Seba,
29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
Ofir, Havila kple Yobab. Ame siawo katã nye Yoktan ƒe viŋutsuwo.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
(Yoktan ƒe dzidzimevi siawo nɔ teƒe si tso Mesa va do ɖe Sefar ƒe ɣetoɖoƒewo gbɔ.)
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Ame siawoe nye Sem ƒe dzidzimeviwo. Woɖo wo ɖe woƒe dukɔwo, gbegbɔgblɔwo kple woƒe nɔƒewo nu.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
Ame siwo katã woyɔ va yi la nye Noa ƒe dzidzimeviwo, to dzidzime geɖewo me, eye wonɔ dukɔ vovovo siwo dzɔ le tsiɖɔɖɔ megbe la me.
