5 (Kubva kwavari ivava vanhu vomumahombekombe egungwa vakapararira munyika dzavo, nedzimba dzavo pakati pendudzi dzavo, rudzi rumwe norumwe nomutauro warwo.)
Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 Akanga ari muvhimi mukuru pamberi paJehovha; ndokusaka zvichinzi, “SaNimirodhi, muvhimi mukuru pamberi paJehovha.”
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; wherefore it is said: 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.'
10 Maguta okutanga oumambo hwake akanga ari Bhabhironi, Ereki, Akadhi neKarine, munyika yeShinari.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Achibva munyika iyoyo akaenda kuAsiria, uko kwaakandovaka Ninevhe, Rehobhoti Iri, neKara
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,
12 neReseni, riri pakati peNinevhe neKara; rinova ndiro guta guru.
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah — the same is the great city.
13 Miziraimi akanga ari baba veava: vaRudhi, vaAnami, vaRehabhi, vaNafutuhi,
And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 vaPaturusi, vaKasiruhi (kunova ndiko kwakabva vaFiristia) navaKafitori.
and Pathrusim, and Casluhim — whence went forth the Philistines — and Caphtorim.
15 Kenani akanga ari baba veava: Sidhoni dangwe rake, navaHiti,
And Canaan begot Zidon his firstborn, and Heth;

and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
17 vaHivhi, vaAriki, vaSini,
and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite;
18 vaAvhadhi, vaZemari navaHamati. (Shure kwaizvozvo dzimba dzavaKenani dzakapararira,
and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.
19 uye miganhu yavaKenani yakasvika kuSidhoni yakananga kuGerari kusvikira kuGaza, uyezve yakananga kuSodhomu, Gomora, Adhima neZebhoimi, kusvikira kuRasha.)
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 Ava ndivo vanakomana vaHamu nedzimba dzavo uye nemitauro yavo, munyika dzavo nendudzi dzavo.
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
21 Shemu akaberekerwawo vanakomana, mukoma wake akanga ari Jafeti; Shemu akanga ari tateguru wavanakomana vose vaEbheri.

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.

30 (Dunhu ravaigara raibvira kuMesha rakananga kuSefari, kunyika yezvikomo yokumabvazuva.)
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, unto the mountain of the east.
31 Ava ndivo vanakomana vaShemu nedzimba dzavo uye nemitauro yavo, munyika dzavo nendudzi dzavo.
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

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.
