Genesis 10
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood.
1Ko 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.
2The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
2Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sefeti; ko Komela, mo Mekoki, mo Metai, mo Savani, mo Tupale, mo Meseke, mo Tailasa.
3And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
3Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Komela; ko ʻAsekinasa, mo Lifata, mo Tokama.
4And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
4Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Savani; ko ʻElaisa, mo Taʻasisi, mo Ketimi, mo Totenimi.
5Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
5Naʻe 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.
6And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
6¶ Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Hami; ko Kusa, mo Misilemi, mo Futi, mo Kēnani.
7And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.
7Pea 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.
8And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
8Pea naʻe tupu ia Kusa, ʻa Nimilote: pea naʻe hoko ia ko e tokotaha lahi ʻi māmani.
9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; wherefore it is said: 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.'
9Ko 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.”
10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
10Pea ko e kamataʻanga ʻo hono puleʻanga ko Pepeli, mo ʻIleke, mo ʻAkata, mo Kalina, ʻi he fonua ko Saina.
11Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,
11Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻAsilia mei he fonua ko ia, pea ne langa ʻa Ninive, mo e kolo ko Leopote, mo Kela,
12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah — the same is the great city.
12Mo Lisini ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ninive mo Kela: ko e kolo lahi ia.
13And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
13Pea naʻe tupu ia Misilemi ʻa Lutimi, mo ʻAnamemi, mo Lehapimi, mo Nafituhemi,
14and Pathrusim, and Casluhim — whence went forth the Philistines — and Caphtorim.
14Mo Patilusime, mo Kasiluhemi, (naʻe tupu mei ai ʻa Filisitia,) mo Kafitolime.
15And Canaan begot Zidon his firstborn, and Heth;
15¶ Pea naʻe tupu ia Kēnani ʻa Saitoni ko hono ʻuluaki, mo Heti,
16and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
16Mo e kakai Sepusi, mo e ʻAmoli, mo e Keakasa,
17and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite;
17Mo e Hevi, mo e ʻAlaka, mo e Sina,
18and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.
18Mo e ʻAvati, mo e Semali, mo e Hemati; pea hili ia naʻe movete atu ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Kēnani.
19And 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.
19Pea 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.
20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
20Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Hami, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e nau ngaahi lea, ʻi honau ngaahi fonua, mo honau ngaahi puleʻanga.
21And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
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.
22The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
22Ko e fānau ʻa Semi; ko ʻIlami, mo ʻAsuli, mo ʻAfakisati, mo Luti, mo ʻElami.
23And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
23Pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻElami; ko ʻUsi, mo Uli, mo Ketali, mo Masi.
24And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber.
24Pea naʻe tupu ia ʻAfakisati ʻa Sela, pea fakatupu ʻe Sela ʻa ʻIpela.
25And 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.
25Pea 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.
26And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
26Pea naʻe tupu ia Sokitani ʻa ʻAlimotate, mo Silefi, mo Hesamevete, mo Sela,
27and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah;
27Mo Hatolame, mo ʻUsali, mo Tikila,
28and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba;
28Mo ʻOpale, mo ʻApimaeli, mo Sipa.
29and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
29Mo ʻOfeli, mo Havila, mo Sopapi: ko e ngaahi foha eni kotoa pē ʻo Sokitani.
30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, unto the mountain of the east.
30Pea ko honau nofoʻanga naʻe fai mei Mesa, ʻi hoʻo ʻalu ʻo aʻu ki Sefa ko e moʻunga ʻi hahake.
31These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
31Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Semi, ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e nau ngaahi lea, mo honau ngaahi fonua, mo honau ngaahi puleʻanga.
32These 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.
32Ko 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.
