UGenesisi 10
1 Njalo lezi yizizukulwana zamadodana kaNowa: UShemu, uHamu loJafethi. Kwasekuzalwa amadodana kubo emva kukazamcolo.
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: UGomeri loMagogi loMadayi loJavani loThubhali loMesheki loTirasi.
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 Lamadodana kaGomeri: UAshikenazi loRifathi loTogarma.
And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 Lamadodana kaJavani: UElisha loTarshishi, amaKiti lamaDodani.
And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 Kwehlukaniswa kusukela kubo izihlenge zezizwe emazweni abo, ngulowo lalowo ngokolimi lwakhe, langokosendo lwabo, ezizweni zabo.
Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 Lamadodana kaHamu: UKushi loMizirayimi loPuti loKhanani.
And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
7 Lamadodana kaKushi: USeba loHavila loSabitha loRama loSabitheka. Lamadodana kaRahama: 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 UKushi wasezala uNimrodi; yena waqala ukuba liqhawe emhlabeni.
And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 Yena waba ngumzingeli olamandla phambi kweNkosi; ngakho kuthiwa: NjengoNimrodi, umzingeli olamandla phambi kweNkosi.
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; wherefore it is said: 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.'
10 Lokuqala kombuso wakhe yiBabeli leEreki leAkadi leKaline elizweni leShinari.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Kwaphuma kulelolizwe uAshuri, wasesakha iNineve leRehobothi-Ire leKala,
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,
12 leReseni phakathi kweNineve leKala; lo ngumuzi omkhulu.
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah — the same is the great city.
13 UMizirayimi wasezala amaLudi lamaAnami lamaLehabi lamaNafethuhi
And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 lamaPatrusi lamaKaseluhi - lapho okwavela khona amaFilisti - lamaKafitori.
and Pathrusim, and Casluhim — whence went forth the Philistines — and Caphtorim.
15 UKhanani wasezala uSidoni izibulo lakhe, loHethi,
And Canaan begot Zidon his firstborn, and Heth;
16 lomJebusi lomAmori lomGirigashi
and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
17 lomHivi lomArki lomSini
and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite;
18 lomArvadi lomZemari lomHamathi; lemva kwalokho usendo lwamaKhanani lwahlakazeka.
and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.
19 Umngcele wamaKhanani wasusukela eSidoni usiya eGerari uze ufike eGaza, usiya eSodoma leGomora leAdima leZeboyimi kuze kufike 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 ngamadodana kaHamu, ngokosendo lwawo, langendimi zawo, emazweni awo, ezizweni zawo.
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
21 UShemu laye wasezalelwa amadodana; unguyise wamadodana wonke akaEberi, umfowabo kaJafethi, omkhulu.
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: UElamu loAshuri loArpakishadi loLudi loAramu.
The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 Lamadodana kaAramu: U-Uzi loHuli loGetheri loMashi.
And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 UArpakishadi wasezala uShela; uShela wasezala uEberi.
And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.
25 Kwasekuzalelwa uEberi amadodana amabili, ibizo lomunye nguPelegi, ngoba ensukwini zayo umhlaba wehlukaniswa; lebizo lomfowabo 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 wasezala uAlimodadi loShelefi loHazamavethi loJera
And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
27 loHadoramu loUzali loDikila
and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah;
28 loObali loAbhimayeli loShebha
and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba;
29 loOfiri loHavila loJobabi; bonke labo ngamadodana kaJokithani.
and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 Indawo yokuhlala kwabo isukela eMesha lapho usiya eSefari, intaba yempumalanga.
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, unto the mountain of the east.
31 La ngamadodana kaShemu, ngokosendo lwabo langendimi zabo, emazweni abo ngokwezizwe zabo.
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32 Lolu lusendo lwamadodana kaNowa ngezizukulwana zawo ezizweni zawo; kwasekusehlukaniswa kulaba izizwe emhlabeni 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.
