Genesis 10
1 These were the descendants of the sons of Noah, that is, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them 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 were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
Ariũ a Jafethu nĩ aya: Gomeri, na Magogu, na Madai, na Javani, na Tubali, na Mesheki, na Tirasi.
3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
Ariũ a Gomeri nĩ aya: Ashikenazu, na Rifathu, na Togarima.
4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Ariũ a Javani nĩ aya: Elishahu, na Tarishishi, na Kitimu, na Rodanimu.
5 From these the coastland peoples separated and went into their lands, every one with its own language, according to their clans, by 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 The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
Nao ariũ a Hamu nĩ aya: Kushi, na Miziraimu, na Putu, na Kaanani.
7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteka. The sons of Raamah were 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 Cush became the father of Nimrod, who was the first conqueror on the earth.
Kushi nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Nimurodi, ũrĩa wakũrire agĩtuĩka njamba ya hinya ya ita gũkũ thĩ.
9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh.”
Aarĩ mũguĩmi warĩ hinya mbere ya Jehova; na nĩkĩo kwĩragwo atĩrĩ, “O ta Nimurodi, mũguĩmi ũrĩ hinya mbere ya Jehova.”
10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Kalneh, in the land of Shinar.
Matũũra ma mbere ma ũthamaki wake maarĩ Babeli, na Ereku, na Akadi na Kaline, kũu Shinaru.
11 Out of that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
Kuuma bũrũri ũcio wa Shinaru agĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Ashuri, nakuo kũu agĩaka matũũra ma Nineve, na Rehobothu-Iru, na Kala,
12 and Resen, which was between Nineveh and Calah. It was a large city.
na Reseni, itũũra rĩrĩ gatagatĩ ka Nineve na Kala; rĩu nĩrĩo rĩarĩ itũũra inene.
13 Mizraim became the father of the Ludites, the Anamites, the Lehabites, the Naphtuhites,
Nake Miziraimu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Aludi, na Aanami, na Alehabi, na Anafituhi,
14 the Pathrusites, the Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorites.
na Apathirusi, na Akasuluhi (Afilisti moimire kuuma harĩ o), na Akafitori.
15 Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and of Heth,
Kaanani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Sidoni irigithathi rĩake, na Ahiti,
16 also of the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
na Ajebusi, na Aamori, na Agirigashi,
17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
na Ahivi, na Ariki, na Asiniti,
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites spread out.
na Aarivadi, na Azemari, na Ahamathi. Thuutha ũcio mĩhĩrĩga ya Kaanani ĩkĩhurunjũka,
19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, in the direction of Gerar, as far as Gaza, and as one goes toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboyim, 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 were the sons of Ham, by their clans, by their languages, in their lands, and in their nations.
Acio nĩo ariũ a Hamu kũringana na mĩhĩrĩga yao, na thiomi ciao, marĩ ngʼongo ciao, na mabũrũri-inĩ mao.
21 Sons also were born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth. Shem was also the ancestor of all the people of Eber.
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 were Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
Ariũ a Shemu nĩ aya: Elamu, na Ashuri, na Arafakasadi, na Ludi, na Aramu.
23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech.
Nao ariũ a Aramu nĩ aya: Uzu, na Hulu, na Getheru, na Mesheki.
24 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah, and Shelah became the father of Eber.
Arafakasadi nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Shela, nake Shela aarĩ ithe wa Eberi.
25 Eber had two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.
Eberi nake nĩaciarĩirwo ariũ eerĩ: Ũmwe eetagwo Pelegu, tondũ hĩndĩ yake thĩ nĩyagayũkanire; mũrũ wa nyina eetagwo Jokitani.
26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
Jokitani nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Alimodadi, na Shelefu, na Hazarimavethu, na Jera,
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
na Hadoramu, na Uzali, na Dikila,
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
na Obali, na Abimaeli, na Sheba,
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
na Ofiri, na Havila, na Jobabu. Acio othe nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Jokitani.
30 Their territory was from Mesha, all the way to 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 were the sons of Shem, according to their clans and their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.
Acio nĩo ariũ a Shemu kũringana na mĩhĩrĩga yao, na thiomi ciao, marĩ ngʼongo ciao na mabũrũri-inĩ mao.
32 These were the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations. From these the nations separated and went over 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.
