Noah's Descendants
1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
Hivi ndivyo vizazi vya wana wa Nuhu, Shemu, na Hamu, na Yafethi. Na kwao walizaliwa wana wa kiume baada ya gharika.
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Wana wa Yafethi ni Gomeri, na Magogu, na Madai, na Yavani, na Tubali, na Mesheki, na Tirasi.
3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Na wana wa Gomeri ni Ashkenazi, na Rifathi, na Togama.
4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Na wana wa Yavani ni Elisha, Tarshishi, Kitimu, na Warodani.
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Kwa hao nchi za pwani za mataifa ziligawanyikana kuwa nchi zao, kila moja kwa lugha yake, kwa jamaa zao, kufuata mataifa yao.
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
Na wana wa Hamu ni Kushi, na Misri, na Putu, na Kanaani.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
Na wana wa Kushi ni Seba, na Havila, na Sabta, na Raama, na Sabteka. Na wana wa Raama ni Sheba, na Dedani.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Kushi akamzaa Nimrodi, akaanza kuwa mtu hodari katika nchi.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Alikuwa hodari kuwinda wanyama mbele za Bwana. Kwa hiyo watu hunena, Kama Nimrodi, hodari wa kuwinda wanyama mbele za Bwana.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Mwanzo wa ufalme wake ulikuwa Babeli na Ereku, na Akadi, na Kalne, katika nchi ya Shinari.
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
Akatoka katika nchi ile akaenda mpaka Ashuru, akajenga Ninawi, na Rehoboth-iri, na Kala;
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
na Reseni, kati ya Ninawi na Kala, nao ni mji mkubwa.
13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
Misri akazaa Waludi, na Waanami, na Walehabi, na Wanaftuhi,
14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
na Wapathrusi, na Wakasluhi; huko ndiko walikotoka Wafilisti na Wakaftori.
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
Kanaani akamzaa Sidoni, mwanawe wa kwanza, na Hethi,
16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
na Myebusi, na Mwamori, na Mgirgashi,
17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
na Mhivi, na Mwarki, na Msini,
18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
na Mwarvadi, na Msemari, na Mhamathi. Baadaye jamaa za Wakanaani walitawanyikana.
19 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.
Na mpaka wa Wakanaani ulianza kutoka Sidoni kwa njia ya Gerari hata Gaza; tena kwa njia ya Sodoma, na Gomora, na Adma, na Seboimu, hata Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Hao ndio wana wa Hamu, kufuata jamaa zao, kwa lugha zao, katika nchi zao, kufuata mataifa yao.
21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
Naye Shemu ambaye ni baba wa wana wote wa Eberi, na ndugu mkubwa wa Yafethi, akazaliwa wana.
22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Wana wa Shemu ni Elamu, na Ashuru, na Arfaksadi, na Ludi, na Aramu.
23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Na wana wa Aramu ni Usi, na Huli, na Getheri, na Mashi.
24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
Arfaksadi akamzaa Sela, Sela akamzaa Eberi.
25 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.
Eberi akazaliwa wana wawili wa kiume; jina la wa kwanza ni Pelegi maana katika siku zake nchi iligawanyika; na jina la nduguye ni Yoktani.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Yoktani akamzaa Almodadi, na Shelefu, na Hasarmawethi, na Yera,
27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
na Hadoramu, na Uzali, na Dikla,
28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
na Obali, na Abimaeli, na Seba,
29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
na Ofiri, na Havila, na Yobabi. Hao wote ndio wana wa Yoktani.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
Makao yao yalikuwa kutoka Mesha kwa njia ya Sefari, mlima wa mashariki.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Hao ndio wana wa Shemu, kufuata jamaa zao, na lugha zao, katika nchi zao, kufuata mataifa yao.
32 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.
Hizo ndizo jamaa za wana wa Nuhu, kufuata vizazi vyao, katika mataifa yao; na kwa hao mataifa yaligawanyika katika nchi baada ya gharika.
