Mwanzo 10
1 Hivi ndivyo vilikuwa vizazi vya wana wa Nuhu, ambao ni, Shemu, Hamu, na Yafethi. Wana wa kiume walizaliwa kwao baada ya gharika.
Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2 Wana wa Yafethi walikuwa Gomeri, Magogu, Madai, Yavani, Tubali, Masheki, na Tirasi.
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 Na wana wa Gomeri walikuwa Ashikenazi, Rifathi na Togama.
And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 Wana wa Yavani walikuwa Elisha, Tarshishi, Kitimu, na Dodanimu.
And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 Kutoka kwa hawa watu wa pwani waligawanyika na kwenda kwenye ardhi zao, kila mtu na lugha yake, kufuatana na koo zao, kwa mataifa yao.
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 Wana wa Hamu walikuwa Kushi, Misraimu, Putu, na Kanaani.
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 Wana wa Kushi walikuwa Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raama, na Sabteka. Wana wa Raama walikuwa Sheba na Dedani.
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 Kushi akamzaa Nimrodi, ambaye alikuwa hodari wa kwanza juu ya nchi.
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 Alikuwa mwindaji mkuu mbele ya Yahwe. Hii ndiyo sababu hunenwa, “Kama Nimrod mwindaji mkuu mbele za Yahwe.”
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 Miji ya kwanza ya ufalme wake ilikuwa Babeli, Ereku, Akadi na Kalne, katika ichi ya Shinari.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Kutoka katika nchi ile alikwenda Ashuru na akajenga Ninawi, Rehoboth- iri na Kala,
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 na Raseni ambao ulikuwa kati ya Ninawi na Kala. Ulikuwa mji mkubwa.
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great city.
13 Misraimu akazaa Waludi, Waanami, Walehabi, na Wanaftuhi,
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 Wapathrusi na Wakasluhi ( ambao kwao Wafilisti walitokea), na Wakaftori.
And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim, ) and Caphtorim.
15 Kanaani akamzaa Sidono, mwanawe wa kwanza, na Hethi,
And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
16 pia na Myebusi, na Mwamori, Mgirgashi,
And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17 Mhivi, Mwarki, Msini,
And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18 Mwarvadi, Msemari, na Mhamathi. Baadaye koo za wakanaani zikasambaa.
And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19 Mpaka wa Wakanaani ulianzia Sidoni, katika mwelekeo wa Gerari, hata Gaza, na kama kuelekea Sodoma, Gomora, Adma, na Seboimu hata Lasha.
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
20 Hawa walikuwa wana wa Ham, kwa koo zao, kwa lugha zao, katika ardhi zao na katika mataifa yao.
These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations.
21 Pia walizaliwa wana kwa Shemu, ndugu yake mkubwa wa Yafethi. Shemu pia alikuwa baba yao na watu wote wa Eberi.
Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born.
22 Wana wa Shemu walikuwa Elamu, Ashuru, Alfaksadi, Ludi, na Aramu.
The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 Arfaksadi akamzaa Sela, na Sela akamzaa Eber.
And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25 Eberi akazaa wana wawili wa kiume. Jina la mmoja aliitwa Pelegi maana katika siku zake nchi iligawanyika. Jina la ndugu yake aliitwa Yoktani.
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name [was] Joktan.
26 Yoktani akamzaa Almodadi, Shelefu, Hasarmawethi, Yera,
And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were] the sons of Joktan.
30 Mpaka wao ulikuwa unaanzia Mesha, hadi Sefari, mlima wa mashariki.
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31 Hawa walikuwa wana wa Shemu, kulingana na koo zao na lugha zao, katika ardhi zao kulingana na mataifa yao.
These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32 Hizi zilikuwa koo za wana wa Nuhu, kulingana na vizazi vyao, kwa mataifa yao. Kutokea kwa hawa mataifa yaligawanyika na kwenda juu ya nchi baada ya gharika.
These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
