Genesis 10
1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
Tala libota ya Noa: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti; bango mpe babotaki bakitani sima na mpela.
2 The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3 The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Bana mibali ya Yavani: Elisha, Tarsisi, Kitimi mpe Dodanimi.
5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.
Bakitani na bango nde bavandaki na bisanga mpe na bamboka ya pembeni ya mayi. Moko na moko kati na bango azwaki mokili na ye kolanda lokota na ye, etuka na ye mpe libota na ye.
6 The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

Bana mibali ya Kushi: Seba, Avila, Sabita, Raema mpe Sabiteka. Bana mibali ya Raema: Sheba mpe Dedani.
8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Kushi azalaki mpe tata ya Nimirodi oyo azalaki elombe ya liboso ya bitumba kati na mokili.
9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh”.
Azalaki mobomi monene ya banyama na miso ya Yawe. Yango wana, balobaka: « Mobomi monene ya banyama lokola Nimirodi na miso ya Yawe. »
10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Bingumba ya liboso ya mokili na ye ezalaki Babeli, Ereki, Akadi mpe Kaline na mokili ya Shineari.
11 Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
Longwa na mokili wana, alekaki na Asiri mpe atongaki Ninive, Reoboti-Iri, Kala
12 and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah.
mpe Reseni, engumba monene na kati-kati ya Ninive mpe Kala.
13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
Mitsirayimi azalaki koko ya bato ya Ludi, ya Anami, ya Leabi, ya Nafitu,
14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.
ya Patrusi, ya Kasilu (oyo babimisa bato ya Filisitia) mpe ya Kereti.
15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
ya Evi, ya Ariki, ya Sini,
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
ya Arivadi, ya Tsemari mpe ya Amati. (Mpe na sima, bato ya mabota nyonso ya Kanana bapalanganaki bipai na bipai.
19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha.
Mokili ya bato ya Kanana ebandaki wuta na Sidoni, na nzela ya Gerari, kino na Gaza; mpe na nzela ya Sodome, ya Gomore, ya Adima mpe ya Tseboyimi kino na Lesha.)
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.
Bango nde bazalaki bakitani ya Cham kolanda mabota mpe nkota na bango, kati na mikili mpe bikolo na bango.
21 Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.
Semi, kulutu ya Jafeti, abotaki mpe bana; azalaki koko ya Eberi mpe ya bakitani na ye.
22 The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
Bana mibali ya Semi: Elami, Asuri, Aripakishadi, Ludi mpe Arami.
23 The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
Bana mibali ya Arami: Utsi, Uli, Geteri mpe Mashi.
24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
Aripakishadi abotaki Shela; Shela abotaki Eberi.
25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan.
Eberi abotaki bana mibali mibale: moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Pelegi, » pamba te na tango na ye nde bakabolaki mabele; mpe mosusu, « Yokitani. »
26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
Adorami, Uzali, Dikila,
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
Ofiri, Avila mpe Yobabi. Bango nyonso wana bazalaki bakitani ya Yokitani.
30 Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
(Mokili oyo bazalaki kovanda ebandaki wuta na Mesha kino na Sefari, na mokili ya bangomba ya este.)
31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.
Bango nde bazalaki bana mibali ya Semi kolanda bituka mpe nkota na bango, kati na mikili mpe bikolo na bango.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood.
Wana nde bituka ya bana mibali ya Noa kolanda milongo mpe mikili na bango. Bato nyonso oyo batondisaki mokili sima na mpela babotamaki na nzela na bango.
