Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now 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.
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 were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
2Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sefeti; ko Komela, mo Mekoki, mo Metai, mo Savani, mo Tupale, mo Meseke, mo Tailasa.
3The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
3Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Komela; ko ʻAsekinasa, mo Lifata, mo Tokama.
4The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
4Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Savani; ko ʻElaisa, mo Taʻasisi, mo Ketimi, mo Totenimi.
5Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, 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.
6The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
6¶ Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Hami; ko Kusa, mo Misilemi, mo Futi, mo Kēnani.
7The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: 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.
8Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one on 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. Therefore 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.”
10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, 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 he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, 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 the great city Calah.
12Mo Lisini ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ninive mo Kela: ko e kolo lahi ia.
13Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
13Pea naʻe tupu ia Misilemi ʻa Lutimi, mo ʻAnamemi, mo Lehapimi, mo Nafituhemi,
14Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.
14Mo Patilusime, mo Kasiluhemi, (naʻe tupu mei ai ʻa Filisitia,) mo Kafitolime.
15Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,
15¶ Pea naʻe tupu ia Kēnani ʻa Saitoni ko hono ʻuluaki, mo Heti,
16the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
16Mo e kakai Sepusi, mo e ʻAmoli, mo e Keakasa,
17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
17Mo e Hevi, mo e ʻAlaka, mo e Sina,
18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
18Mo e ʻAvati, mo e Semali, mo e Hemati; pea hili ia naʻe movete atu ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Kēnani.
19The 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.
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, according to their languages, in their lands and 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.
21Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.
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 were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
22Ko e fānau ʻa Semi; ko ʻIlami, mo ʻAsuli, mo ʻAfakisati, mo Luti, mo ʻElami.
23The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
23Pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻElami; ko ʻUsi, mo Uli, mo Ketali, mo Masi.
24Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
24Pea naʻe tupu ia ʻAfakisati ʻa Sela, pea fakatupu ʻe Sela ʻa ʻIpela.
25To 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.
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.
26Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
26Pea naʻe tupu ia Sokitani ʻa ʻAlimotate, mo Silefi, mo Hesamevete, mo Sela,
27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
27Mo Hatolame, mo ʻUsali, mo Tikila,
28Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
28Mo ʻOpale, mo ʻApimaeli, mo Sipa.
29Ophir, 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.
30Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, 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, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and 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, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these on 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.
