1 Lo ngumlando kaShemu, loHamu loJafethi, amadodana kaNowa, okwathi bona ngokwabo baba lamadodana ngemva kwesikhukhula.
And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge.
2 Amadodana kaJafethi ayeyila: uGomeri, uMagogi, uMadayi uJavani, uThubhali, uMesheki loThirasi.
'Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

5 (Kusukela kulaba abahlala ngasolwandle behlukana ngezigodi zabo, yilabo ngosendo lwabo bephakathi kwezizwe zabo, kuyilabo lalabo bekhuluma ulimi lwabo.)
By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.
6 Amadodana kaHamu ayeyila: uKhushi, uMizirayimi, uPhuthi loKhenani.
And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

8 UKhushi wayenguyise kaNimrodi, owakhula waba liqhawe elilamandla emhlabeni.
And Cush hath begotten Nimrod;
9 Wayengumzingeli omkhulu phambi kukaThixo; kungakho lokho kwathiwa, “NjengoNimrodi, umzingeli omkhulu phambi kukaThixo.”
he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, 'As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.'
10 Izindawo ezinkulu zembusweni wakhe kwakuyiBhabhiloni, i-Erekhi, i-Akhadi leKhaline eShinari.
And the first part of his kingdom is 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
from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,
12 leReseni ephakathi kweNiniva leKhala; yilo idolobho elikhulukazi.
and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city.
13 UMizirayimi wayenguyise wamaLudi, ama-Anami, amaLehabhi, amaNafithuhi,
And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,
14 amaPhathrosi lamaKhasiluhi (okwadabuka khona amaFilistiya) lamaKhafithori.
and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim, ) and the Caphtorim.

18 ama-Avadi, amaZemari kanye lamaHamathi. (Muva izizwana zamaKhenani zasabalala
and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered.
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 is from Sidon, [in] thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; [in] thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha.
20 La yiwo amadodana kaHamu ngokosendo lwawo langezindimi zawo, ezigodini zawo kanye langezizwe zawo.
These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
21 Amadodana azalwa njalo kuShemu, umnewabo owayenguJafethi; uShemu wayengukhokho wawo wonke amadodana ka-Ebha.
As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten:
22 Amadodana kaShemu ayeyila: u-Elamu, u-Ashuri, u-Afazadi, uLudi lo-Aramu.

24 U-Afazadi wayenguyise kaShela, uShela wazala u-Ebha.
And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber.
25 Amadodana amabili ayezalwa ngu-Ebha ayeyila: Omunye wayenguPhelegi, ngoba ngezinsuku zakhe umhlaba wawudabuke phakathi; umfowabo kwakuthiwa nguJokithani.
And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one [is] Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided, ) and his brother's name [is] Joktan.
26 UJokithani wayenguyise ka-Alimodadi, uShelefi, uHazarimavethi, uJera,
And Joktan hath begotten Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

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 [are] sons of Joktan;
30 Isigodi ababehlala kuso sasisukela eMesha kusiya eSefari elizweni elilamaqaqa elisempumalanga.
and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east.
31 La ngamadodana kaShemu ngokosendo lwawo langezindimi zawo, emazweni awo lezizweni zawo.
These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.
32 Lezi zinsendo zamadodana kaNowa kusiya ngemindeni yazo, phakathi kwezizwe zawo. Kusukela kuzo, izizwe zahlakazeka zagcwala umhlaba wonke emva kukazamcolo.
These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge.
