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.
Lo ngumlando kaShemu, loHamu loJafethi, amadodana kaNowa, okwathi bona ngokwabo baba lamadodana ngemva kwesikhukhula.
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Javan and Tubal, —and Meshech, and Tiras.
Amadodana kaJafethi ayeyila: uGomeri, uMagogi, uMadayi uJavani, uThubhali, uMesheki loThirasi.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Amadodana kaGomeri ayeyila: u-Ashikhenazi, uRifathi kanye loThogarima.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish. Kittim, and Rodanim, —
Amadodana kaJavani ayeyila: u-Elisha, uThashishi, uKhithimi loRodanimu.
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.
(Kusukela kulaba abahlala ngasolwandle behlukana ngezigodi zabo, yilabo ngosendo lwabo bephakathi kwezizwe zabo, kuyilabo lalabo bekhuluma ulimi lwabo.)
6 And, the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan.
Amadodana kaHamu ayeyila: uKhushi, uMizirayimi, uPhuthi loKhenani.
7 And, the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah and Raamah, and Sabtechah, —And the sons of Raamah, Sheba and Dedan.
Amadodana kaKhushi ayeyila: uSebha, uHavila, uSabhitha, uRahama loSabhitheka. Amadodana kaRahama ayeyila: uShebha loDedani.
8 And, Cush begat Nimrod.—he, became a hero in the earth;
UKhushi wayenguyise kaNimrodi, owakhula waba liqhawe elilamandla emhlabeni.
9 he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.
Wayengumzingeli omkhulu phambi kukaThixo; kungakho lokho kwathiwa, “NjengoNimrodi, umzingeli omkhulu phambi kukaThixo.”
10 So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Izindawo ezinkulu zembusweni wakhe kwakuyiBhabhiloni, i-Erekhi, i-Akhadi leKhaline eShinari.
11 From that land, went forth Asshur, —and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:
Esuka kulelolizwe waya e-Asiriya lapho akha khona iNiniva, iRehobhothi, i-Iri, iKhala
12 and Resen, between Niveveh and Calah, —the same is the great city.
leReseni ephakathi kweNiniva leKhala; yilo idolobho elikhulukazi.
13 And, Mizraim, begat Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim, and Naphtuchim;
UMizirayimi wayenguyise wamaLudi, ama-Anami, amaLehabhi, amaNafithuhi,
14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim whence came forth Philistim and Caphtorim.
amaPhathrosi lamaKhasiluhi (okwadabuka khona amaFilistiya) lamaKhafithori.
15 And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth:
UKhenani wayenguyise kaSidoni izibulo lakhe, amaHithi,
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
amaJebusi, ama-Amori, amaGigashi,
17 and the Hivite and the Arkite, and the Sinite:
amaHivi, ama-Arikhi, amaSini,
18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite, —and after-wards, were spread abroad the families of the Canaanite.
ama-Avadi, amaZemari kanye lamaHamathi. (Muva izizwana zamaKhenani zasabalala
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.
kwathi imingcele yeKhenani yasukela eSidoni isiya eGerari kufika eGaza, besekuqonda eSodoma, leGomora, le-Adima leZebhoyimi kuze kuyefika eLasha.)
20 These, are the sons of Ham, by their families by their tongues, in their lands in their nations.
La yiwo amadodana kaHamu ngokosendo lwawo langezindimi zawo, ezigodini zawo kanye langezizwe zawo.
21 Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, elder brother of Japheth, to him also, were children born.
Amadodana azalwa njalo kuShemu, umnewabo owayenguJafethi; uShemu wayengukhokho wawo wonke amadodana ka-Ebha.
22 The sons of Shem, Elam and Asshur, —and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
Amadodana kaShemu ayeyila: u-Elamu, u-Ashuri, u-Afazadi, uLudi lo-Aramu.
23 And, the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul, and Gether and Mash.
Amadodana ka-Aramu ayeyila: u-Uzi, uHuli, uGetha loMesheki.
24 Now Arpachshad, begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.
U-Afazadi wayenguyise kaShela, uShela wazala u-Ebha.
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.
Amadodana amabili ayezalwa ngu-Ebha ayeyila: Omunye wayenguPhelegi, ngoba ngezinsuku zakhe umhlaba wawudabuke phakathi; umfowabo kwakuthiwa nguJokithani.
26 Now, Joktan, begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
UJokithani wayenguyise ka-Alimodadi, uShelefi, uHazarimavethi, uJera,
27 and Hadoram and Uzal, and Diklah:
uHadoramu, u-Uzali, uDikila,
28 and Obal and Abimael, and Sheba:
u-Obhali, u-Abhimayeli, uShebha,
29 and Ophir and Havilah, and Jobab—all these were sons of Joktan.
u-Ofiri, uHavila kanye loJobhabhi. Bonke laba babengamadodana kaJokithani.
30 And it came to pass that their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou enterest in towards Sephar, the mountain of the east.
Isigodi ababehlala kuso sasisukela eMesha kusiya eSefari elizweni elilamaqaqa elisempumalanga.
31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families by their tongues, in their lands by their nations.
La ngamadodana kaShemu ngokosendo lwawo langezindimi zawo, emazweni awo lezizweni zawo.
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.
Lezi zinsendo zamadodana kaNowa kusiya ngemindeni yazo, phakathi kwezizwe zawo. Kusukela kuzo, izizwe zahlakazeka zagcwala umhlaba wonke emva kukazamcolo.
