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