Olubereberye 10
1 Bano be bazzukulu ba Nuuwa, Seemu ne Kaamu, ne Yafeesi be baazaala oluvannyuma lw’amataba.
These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and of the sons who were born to them after the great flood.
2 Batabani ba Yafeesi: Gomeri, ne Magogi, ne Madayi, ne Yivani, ne Tubali ne Meseki ne Tirasi.
The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 Batabani ba Gomeri be bano: Asukenaazi, ne Lifasi, ne Togaluma.
And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 Batabani ba Yivani baali: Erisa, ne Talusiisi, ne Kittimu ne Dodanimu.
And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.
5 (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.)
The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations.
6 Batabani ba Kaamu be bano: Kuusi, ne Misiri, ne Puuti, ne Kanani.
And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
7 Batabani ba Kuusi be bano: Seeba, ne Kavira, ne Sabuta, ne Laama ne Sebuteka. Batabani ba Laama baali: Seeba ne Dedani.
And the sons of Cush were Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dadan.
8 Kuusi ye yazaala Nimuloodi; ye yasooka okuba omuntu ow’amaanyi ennyo ku nsi.
And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth.
9 Yali muyizzi kkungwa, mu maaso ga Mukama, kyekyava kigambibwa nti, “Afaanana Nimuloodi omuyizzi kkungwa mu maaso ga Mukama.”
And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: ‘Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.’
10 Obwakabaka bwe bwatandikira Baberi, ne Eneki ne Akudi ne Kalune, nga byonna bya mu nsi Sinali.
And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar.
11 Bwe yava mu nsi eyo n’agenda mu Bwasuli, n’azimba Nineeve, ne Lekobosiyira, ne Kala ne
From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah,
12 Leseni, wakati wa Nineeve ne Kala; Leseni kye kyali ekibuga ekikulu.
and also Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. This is a great city.
13 Mizulayimu oba Misiri ye kitaawe wa Ludimu, ne Anamimu, ne Lekabimu, ne Nafutukimu,
And truly, Mizraim conceived Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14 ne Pasulusimu, ne Kasulukimu (omwava Abafirisuuti) ne Kafutorimu.
and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came forth the Philistines and the Caphtorim.
15 Kanani ye yazaala Sidoni, omwana we omubereberye, ne Keesi,
Then Canaan conceived Sidon his firstborn, the Hittite,
16 n’Abayebusi, n’Abamoli, n’Abagirugaasi,
and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, the Girgashite,
17 n’Abakiivi, n’Abaluki, n’Abasiini,
the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite,
18 n’Abaluvada, n’Abazemali, n’Abakamasi n’ebika eby’omu Kanani ne babuna wonna.
and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread.
19 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.
And the borders of Canaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa.
20 Abo be bazzukulu ba Kaamu, mu nda zaabwe ne nnimi zaabwe, mu bitundu byabwe ne mu mawanga gaabwe.
These are the sons of Ham in their kindred, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
21 Seemu kitaawe w’abo bonna abaava mu Eberi, mukulu wa Yafeesi naye yazaalirwa abaana.
Likewise, from Shem, the father of all the sons of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
22 Abaana ba Seemu be bano: Eramu, ne Asuli, ne Alupakusaadi, ne Ludi ne Alamu.
The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 Batabani ba Alamu: Uzi, ne Kuuli, ne Ggeseri ne Masi.
The sons of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 Alupakusaadi ye kitaawe wa Seera. Seera ye kitaawe wa Eberi.
But truly, Arphaxad conceived Shelah, from whom was born Eber.
25 Omu ku batabani ba Eberi yali Peregi, kubanga we yazaalirwa ensi yali yeesazeemu, muganda we ye yali Yokutaani.
And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth became divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan.
26 Yokutaani ye yali kitaawe wa Alumodaadi, ne Serefu, ne Kazalumaveesi, ne Yera,
This Joktan conceived Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jerah
27 ne Kadolaamu, ne Uzali, ne Dikula,
and Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah,
28 ne Obali, ne Abimayeeri, ne Seeba,
and Obal and Abimael, Sheba
29 ne Ofiri, ne Kavira ne Yobabu; bano bonna baali batabani ba Yokutaani.
and Ophir, and Havilah and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
30 Ekitundu mwe baali kyava ku Mesa okwolekera Serali, okutuukira ddala ku kitundu eky’ensozi ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba.
And their habitation extended from Messa, as one sojourns, even to Sephar, a mountain in the east.
31 Abo be bazzukulu ba Seemu, mu nnyumba zaabwe, ne mu nnimi zaabwe, ne mu bitundu byabwe ne mu mawanga gaabwe.
These are the sons of Shem according to their kindred, and tongues, and the regions within their nations.
32 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.
These are the families of Noah, according to their peoples and nations. The nations became divided according to these, on the earth after the great flood.
