< 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.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa njiarwa cia Nuhu, nĩo Shemu, na Hamu, na Jafethu, arĩa o ene maagĩire na ariũ thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Javan and Tubal, —and Meshech, and Tiras.
Ariũ a Jafethu nĩ aya: Gomeri, na Magogu, na Madai, na Javani, na Tubali, na Mesheki, na Tirasi.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Ariũ a Gomeri nĩ aya: Ashikenazu, na Rifathu, na Togarima.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish. Kittim, and Rodanim, —
Ariũ a Javani nĩ aya: Elishahu, na Tarishishi, na Kitimu, na Rodanimu.
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.
(Kuuma kũrĩ o gũkiuma andũ arĩa matũũraga ndwere-inĩ cia iria, o andũ na rũgongo rwao kũringana na mĩhĩrĩga yao, mabũrũri-inĩ mao, na o andũ na rũthiomi rwao.)
6 And, the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan.
Nao ariũ a Hamu nĩ aya: Kushi, na Miziraimu, na Putu, na Kaanani.
7 And, the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah and Raamah, and Sabtechah, —And the sons of Raamah, Sheba and Dedan.
Ariũ a Kushi nĩ aya: Seba, na Havila, na Sabita, na Raama, na Sabiteka. Nao ariũ a Raama nĩ: Sheba, na Dedani.
8 And, Cush begat Nimrod.—he, became a hero in the earth;
Kushi nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Nimurodi, ũrĩa wakũrire agĩtuĩka njamba ya hinya ya ita gũkũ thĩ.
9 he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.
Aarĩ mũguĩmi warĩ hinya mbere ya Jehova; na nĩkĩo kwĩragwo atĩrĩ, “O ta Nimurodi, mũguĩmi ũrĩ hinya mbere ya Jehova.”
10 So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Matũũra ma mbere ma ũthamaki wake maarĩ Babeli, na Ereku, na Akadi na Kaline, kũu Shinaru.
11 From that land, went forth Asshur, —and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:
Kuuma bũrũri ũcio wa Shinaru agĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Ashuri, nakuo kũu agĩaka matũũra ma Nineve, na Rehobothu-Iru, na Kala,
12 and Resen, between Niveveh and Calah, —the same is the great city.
na Reseni, itũũra rĩrĩ gatagatĩ ka Nineve na Kala; rĩu nĩrĩo rĩarĩ itũũra inene.
13 And, Mizraim, begat Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim, and Naphtuchim;
Nake Miziraimu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Aludi, na Aanami, na Alehabi, na Anafituhi,
14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim whence came forth Philistim and Caphtorim.
na Apathirusi, na Akasuluhi (Afilisti moimire kuuma harĩ o), na Akafitori.
15 And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth:
Kaanani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Sidoni irigithathi rĩake, na Ahiti,
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
na Ajebusi, na Aamori, na Agirigashi,
17 and the Hivite and the Arkite, and the Sinite:
na Ahivi, na Ariki, na Asiniti,
18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite, —and after-wards, were spread abroad the families of the Canaanite.
na Aarivadi, na Azemari, na Ahamathi. Thuutha ũcio mĩhĩrĩga ya Kaanani ĩkĩhurunjũka,
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.
mĩhaka ya Akaanani yoimĩte Sidoni ĩrorete Gerari ĩgakinya Gaza, ningĩ ĩkarora Sodomu, na Gomora, na Adima, na Zeboimu, o nginya Lasha.
20 These, are the sons of Ham, by their families by their tongues, in their lands in their nations.
Acio nĩo ariũ a Hamu kũringana na mĩhĩrĩga yao, na thiomi ciao, marĩ ngʼongo ciao, na mabũrũri-inĩ mao.
21 Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, elder brother of Japheth, to him also, were children born.
Shemu o nake nĩaciarĩirwo ariũ ake. Mũrũ wa nyina na Shemu ũrĩa warĩ mũkũrũ eetagwo Jafethu. Shemu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa rũruka ruothe rwa ariũ a Eberi.
22 The sons of Shem, Elam and Asshur, —and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
Ariũ a Shemu nĩ aya: Elamu, na Ashuri, na Arafakasadi, na Ludi, na Aramu.
23 And, the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul, and Gether and Mash.
Nao ariũ a Aramu nĩ aya: Uzu, na Hulu, na Getheru, na Mesheki.
24 Now Arpachshad, begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.
Arafakasadi nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Shela, nake Shela aarĩ ithe wa Eberi.
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.
Eberi nake nĩaciarĩirwo ariũ eerĩ: Ũmwe eetagwo Pelegu, tondũ hĩndĩ yake thĩ nĩyagayũkanire; mũrũ wa nyina eetagwo Jokitani.
26 Now, Joktan, begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
Jokitani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Alimodadi, na Shelefu, na Hazarimavethu, na Jera,
27 and Hadoram and Uzal, and Diklah:
na Hadoramu, na Uzali, na Dikila,
28 and Obal and Abimael, and Sheba:
na Obali, na Abimaeli, na Sheba,
29 and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab—all these were sons of Joktan.
na Ofiri, na Havila, na Jobabu. Acio othe nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Jokitani.
30 And it came to pass that their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou enterest in towards Sephar, the mountain of the east.
Rũgongo rũrĩa maatũũraga ruoimĩte Mesha rũgathiĩ rũrorete Sefari, kũu mwena wa irathĩro wa bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma.
31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families by their tongues, in their lands by their nations.
Acio nĩo ariũ a Shemu kũringana na mĩhĩrĩga yao, na thiomi ciao, marĩ ngʼongo ciao na mabũrũri-inĩ mao.
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.
Ĩyo nĩyo mĩhĩrĩga ya ariũ a Nuhu kũringana na njiaro ciao, marĩ mabũrũri-inĩ mao. Kuuma kũrĩ o, ndũrĩrĩ ikĩhurunjũka thĩ yothe thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ.
