Genesis 10
1 (This is/I will now give) a list of the descendants of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They had many children after the flood.
Bano be bazzukulu ba Nuuwa, Seemu ne Kaamu, ne Yafeesi be baazaala oluvannyuma lw’amataba.
2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
Batabani ba Yafeesi: Gomeri, ne Magogi, ne Madayi, ne Yivani, ne Tubali ne Meseki ne Tirasi.
3 The sons of Gomer were Askenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
Batabani ba Gomeri be bano: Asukenaazi, ne Lifasi, ne Togaluma.
4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Batabani ba Yivani baali: Erisa, ne Talusiisi, ne Kittimu ne Dodanimu.
5 Those sons and their families who were descended from Javan lived on the islands and on the land close to the [Mediterranean] Sea. Their descendants became tribes, each with its own language and clans and territory.
(Mu bano mwe mwava abo abaabuna olubalama lw’ennyanja. Bano be batabani ba Yafeesi mu bitundu byabwe, buli bamu mu nnimi zaabwe ng’ennyumba zaabwe n’amawanga gaabwe bwe biri.)
6 The descendants of Ham were Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.
Batabani ba Kaamu be bano: Kuusi, ne Misiri, ne Puuti, ne Kanani.
7 The descendants of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
Batabani ba Kuusi be bano: Seeba, ne Kavira, ne Sabuta, ne Laama ne Sebuteka. Batabani ba Laama baali: Seeba ne Dedani.
8 Another one of Cush’s descendants was Nimrod. Nimrod was the first person on earth who became a mighty warrior.
Kuusi ye yazaala Nimuloodi; ye yasooka okuba omuntu ow’amaanyi ennyo ku nsi.
9 Yahweh saw that he had become (OR, caused him to become) a great hunter. That is why people say to a great hunter, “Yahweh (sees that you are/has caused you to be) a great hunter like Nimrod.”
Yali muyizzi kkungwa, mu maaso ga Mukama, kyekyava kigambibwa nti, “Afaanana Nimuloodi omuyizzi kkungwa mu maaso ga Mukama.”
10 Nimrod became a king who ruled in Babylonia. The first cities over which he ruled were Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh.
Obwakabaka bwe bwatandikira Baberi, ne Eneki ne Akudi ne Kalune, nga byonna bya mu nsi Sinali.
11 From there he went [with others] to Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
Bwe yava mu nsi eyo n’agenda mu Bwasuli, n’azimba Nineeve, ne Lekobosiyira, ne Kala ne
12 and Resen. Resen was a large city between Nineveh and Calah.
Leseni, wakati wa Nineeve ne Kala; Leseni kye kyali ekibuga ekikulu.
13 Ham’s son, Egypt, became the ancestor of the Lud, Anam, Lehab and Naphtuh,
Mizulayimu oba Misiri ye kitaawe wa Ludimu, ne Anamimu, ne Lekabimu, ne Nafutukimu,
14 Pathrus, Casluh and Caphtor people-groups. The Philistine people were descended from Casluh.
ne Pasulusimu, ne Kasulukimu (omwava Abafirisuuti) ne Kafutorimu.
15 Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, became the father of Sidon, who was his eldest son, and Heth, his younger son.
Kanani ye yazaala Sidoni, omwana we omubereberye, ne Keesi,
16 Canaan was also the ancestor of the Jebus, Amor, Girgash,
n’Abayebusi, n’Abamoli, n’Abagirugaasi,
17 Hiv, Ark, Sin,
n’Abakiivi, n’Abaluki, n’Abasiini,
18 Arved, Zemar and Hamath people-groups. Later the descendants of Canaan dispersed over a large area.
n’Abaluvada, n’Abazemali, n’Abakamasi n’ebika eby’omu Kanani ne babuna wonna.
19 Their land extended from Sidon [city] in the north as far south as Gaza [town], and then to the east as far as Gerar [town], and then farther east to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim [towns], and even as far as Lasha [town].
Ekitundu kya Kanani kyava ku Sidoni, okwolekera Gerali n’okutuukira ddala e Gaza okwolekera Sodomu, ne Ggomola, ne Aduma, ne Zeboyimu okutuukira ddala e Lasa.
20 Those are the descendants of Ham. They became groups that had their own clans, their own languages, and their own land.
Abo be bazzukulu ba Kaamu, mu nda zaabwe ne nnimi zaabwe, mu bitundu byabwe ne mu mawanga gaabwe.
21 Shem, the older brother of Japheth, became the father of Eber, and the ancestor of all the descendants of Eber.
Seemu kitaawe w’abo bonna abaava mu Eberi, mukulu wa Yafeesi naye yazaalirwa abaana.
22 The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
Abaana ba Seemu be bano: Eramu, ne Asuli, ne Alupakusaadi, ne Ludi ne Alamu.
23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
Batabani ba Alamu: Uzi, ne Kuuli, ne Ggeseri ne Masi.
24 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
Alupakusaadi ye kitaawe wa Seera. Seera ye kitaawe wa Eberi.
25 Eber became the father of two sons. One of them was named Peleg, [which means ‘division’], because during the time he lived, people on [MTY] the earth became divided and scattered everywhere. Peleg’s younger brother was Joktan.
Omu ku batabani ba Eberi yali Peregi, kubanga we yazaalirwa ensi yali yeesazeemu, muganda we ye yali Yokutaani.
26 Joktan became the ancestor of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
Yokutaani ye yali kitaawe wa Alumodaadi, ne Serefu, ne Kazalumaveesi, ne Yera,
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
ne Kadolaamu, ne Uzali, ne Dikula,
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
ne Obali, ne Abimayeeri, ne Seeba,
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All those people were descended from Joktan.
ne Ofiri, ne Kavira ne Yobabu; bano bonna baali batabani ba Yokutaani.
30 The areas in which they lived extended from Mesha westward to Sephar, which is in the (hill country/area that has a lot of hills).
Ekitundu mwe baali kyava ku Mesa okwolekera Serali, okutuukira ddala ku kitundu eky’ensozi ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba.
31 They are descendants of Shem. They became groups that had their own clans, their own languages, and their own land.
Abo be bazzukulu ba Seemu, mu nnyumba zaabwe, ne mu nnimi zaabwe, ne mu bitundu byabwe ne mu mawanga gaabwe.
32 All those groups descended from the sons of Noah. Each group had its own (genealogy/record of people’s ancestors) and each became a separate ethnic group. Those ethnic groups formed after the flood and spread all around the earth.
Abo ze nnyumba za batabani ba Nuuwa ng’okuzaalibwa kwabwe bwe kwali, n’amawanga gaabwe; era okuva mu bano amawanga gonna mwe gaayalira ne gabuna ensi yonna oluvannyuma lw’amataba.
