Senesi 10

1 Ko eni ʻae tala hohoko ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Noa, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti: pea naʻe fanauʻi kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi foha hili ʻae lōmaki.

These are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and of the sons who were born to them after the great flood.

2 Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sefeti; ko Komela, mo Mekoki, mo Metai, mo Savani, mo Tupale, mo Meseke, mo Tailasa.

The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Komela; ko ʻAsekinasa, mo Lifata, mo Tokama.

And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Savani; ko ʻElaisa, mo Taʻasisi, mo Ketimi, mo Totenimi.

And the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.

5 Naʻe vahevahe kiate kinautolu ni ʻae ngaahi fonua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ke nau fonua ʻaki; ke taki taha ʻi hono lea mo honau faʻahinga, pea mo honau ngaahi puleʻanga.

The islands of the Gentiles were divided by these into their regions, each one according to his tongue, and their families in their nations.

6 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Hami; ko Kusa, mo Misilemi, mo Futi, mo Kēnani.

And the Sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

7 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Kusa; ko Sipa, mo Havila, mo Sapita, mo Leama, mo Sapetika: pea ko e ongo foha ʻo Leama; ko Sipa, mo Titani.

And the sons of Cush were Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dadan.

8 Pea naʻe tupu ia Kusa, ʻa Nimilote: pea naʻe hoko ia ko e tokotaha lahi ʻi māmani.

And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth.

9 Ko e tangata tuli manu fakamanavahē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki: ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae lea ʻoku pehē, “ʻO hangē ko Nimilote ko e tuli manu lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki.”

And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: ‘Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.’

10 Pea ko e kamataʻanga ʻo hono puleʻanga ko Pepeli, mo ʻIleke, mo ʻAkata, mo Kalina, ʻi he fonua ko Saina.

And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar.

11 Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻAsilia mei he fonua ko ia, pea ne langa ʻa Ninive, mo e kolo ko Leopote, mo Kela,

From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah,

12 Mo Lisini ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ninive mo Kela: ko e kolo lahi ia.

and also Resen, between Nineveh and Calah. This is a great city.

13 Pea naʻe tupu ia Misilemi ʻa Lutimi, mo ʻAnamemi, mo Lehapimi, mo Nafituhemi,

And truly, Mizraim conceived Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

14 Mo Patilusime, mo Kasiluhemi, (naʻe tupu mei ai ʻa Filisitia, ) mo Kafitolime.

and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, from whom came forth the Philistines and the Caphtorim.

15 Pea naʻe tupu ia Kēnani ʻa Saitoni ko hono ʻuluaki, mo Heti,

Then Canaan conceived Sidon his firstborn, the Hittite,

16 Mo e kakai Sepusi, mo e ʻAmoli, mo e Keakasa,

and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17 Mo e Hevi, mo e ʻAlaka, mo e Sina,

the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite,

18 Mo e ʻAvati, mo e Semali, mo e Hemati; pea hili ia naʻe movete atu ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Kēnani.

and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread.

19 Pea ko e ngataʻanga fonua ʻoe kakai Kēnani naʻe [fai ]mei Saitoni, ʻi hoʻo haʻu mei Kilai ki Kesa; ʻi hoʻo ʻalu ai ki Sotoma mo Komola, mo ʻAtima, mo Sipoimi ʻo aʻu ki Lesa.

And the borders of Canaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa.

20 Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Hami, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e nau ngaahi lea, ʻi honau ngaahi fonua, mo honau ngaahi puleʻanga.

These are the sons of Ham in their kindred, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

21 Ko Semi foki, ʻaia ko e tamai ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIpela, ko e tehina ʻo Sefeti ko e lahi, naʻe ai foki ʻae fānau kiate ia.

Likewise, from Shem, the father of all the sons of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

22 Ko e fānau ʻa Semi; ko ʻIlami, mo ʻAsuli, mo ʻAfakisati, mo Luti, mo ʻElami.

The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 Pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻElami; ko ʻUsi, mo Uli, mo Ketali, mo Masi.

The sons of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24 Pea naʻe tupu ia ʻAfakisati ʻa Sela, pea fakatupu ʻe Sela ʻa ʻIpela.

But truly, Arphaxad conceived Shelah, from whom was born Eber.

25 Pea naʻe fanauʻi kia ʻIpela ʻae ongo foha; ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Peleki: he naʻe vahevahe ʻae fonua ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tokoua ko Sokitani.

And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth became divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan.

26 Pea naʻe tupu ia Sokitani ʻa ʻAlimotate, mo Silefi, mo Hesamevete, mo Sela,

This Joktan conceived Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, Jerah

27 Mo Hatolame, mo ʻUsali, mo Tikila,

and Hadoram, and Uzal and Diklah,

28 Mo ʻOpale, mo ʻApimaeli, mo Sipa.

and Obal and Abimael, Sheba

29 Mo ʻOfeli, mo Havila, mo Sopapi: ko e ngaahi foha eni kotoa pē ʻo Sokitani.

and Ophir, and Havilah and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

30 Pea ko honau nofoʻanga naʻe [fai ]mei Mesa, ʻi hoʻo ʻalu ʻo aʻu ki Sefa ko e moʻunga ʻi hahake.

And their habitation extended from Messa, as one sojourns, even to Sephar, a mountain in the east.

31 Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Semi, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e nau ngaahi lea, mo honau ngaahi fonua, mo honau ngaahi puleʻanga.

These are the sons of Shem according to their kindred, and tongues, and the regions within their nations.

32 Ko eni ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Noa, mo honau ngaahi toʻutangata, ʻi honau ngaahi puleʻanga: pea naʻe vahe vahe ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo māmani, hili ʻae lōmaki.

These are the families of Noah, according to their peoples and nations. The nations became divided according to these, on the earth after the great flood.
