Genesis 10
1 Now, these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and there were born to them sons 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.
Yafet ƒe viwoe nye: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Yavan, Tubal, Mesek kple Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gomer ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Askenaz, Rifat kple Togarma.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish. Kittim, and Rodanim, —
Yavan ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Elisa, Tarsis, Kititɔwo kple Dodanitɔwo.
5 From these, were dispersed [the inhabitants] of the coastlands of the nations, in their lands, each man by his tongue, by 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 Phut and Canaan.
Ham ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Kus, Egipte, Put kple Kanaan.
7 And, the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah and Raamah, and Sabtechah, —And the sons of Raamah, Sheba and Dedan.
Kus ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raama kple Sabteka. Raama ƒe viŋutsuwoe nye: Seba kple Dedan.
8 And, Cush begat Nimrod.—he, became a hero in the earth;
Kus ƒe dzidzimevie nye Nimrɔd, ame si va zu kalẽtɔ gã aɖe le anyigba la dzi.
9 he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.
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 So the beginning of his kingdom came to be 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 From that land, went forth Asshur, —and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:
Tso anyigba ma dzi la, eyi Asiria, afi si wòtu Ninive, Rehobot Ir, Kala
12 and Resen, between Niveveh and Calah, —the same is the great city.
kple Resen ɖo; Resen le Ninive kple Kala dome, eye eyae nye du gã la.
13 And, Mizraim, begat Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim, and Naphtuchim;
Ame siwo nye Egipte ƒe dzidzimeviwo lae nye: Ludimtɔwo, Anamimtɔwo, Lehabitɔwo, Naftuhitɔwo,
14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim whence came forth Philistim 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;
Kanaan ƒe dzidzimeviwoe nye: Yebusitɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Girgasitɔwo,
17 and the Hivite and the Arkite, and the Sinite:
Hivitɔwo, Arkitɔwo, Sinitɔwo,
18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite, —and after-wards, were spread abroad the families of the Canaanite.
Arvaditɔwo, Zemaritɔwo kple Hamatitɔwo. (Kanaan ƒe dzidzimeviwo kaka
19 And it came to pass that the boundary of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou enterest in towards Gerar unto Gaza, —as thou enterest in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.
tso Sidon yi Gerar va Gaza, Sodom, Gomora, Adma kple Zeboyim va se ɖe Lasa.)
20 These, are the sons of Ham, by their families by 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 Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, 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 Now Arpachshad, begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.
Arfaxad ƒe vie nye Sela, ame si dzi Eber.
25 And to Eber, were born two sons, —the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days, was the earth divided, and the name of his brother 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 Now, Joktan, begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
Yoktan ƒe viwoe nye: Almodad, Selef, Hazarmavet, Yera,
27 and Hadoram and Uzal, and Diklah:
Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla,
28 and Obal and Abimael, and Sheba:
Obal, Abimael, Seba,
29 and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab—all these were sons of Joktan.
Ofir, Havila kple Yobab. Ame siawo katã nye Yoktan ƒe viŋutsuwo.
30 And it came to pass that their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou enterest in towards 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, by their families by their tongues, in their lands by 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, by their generations in their nations, and from these, were dispersed the nations 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.
