8UKushe wazala uNimrode; yena waqala ukuba ngonamandla emhlabeni. 9Wayeyiphisi elinamandla ebusweni bukaJehova; ngalokho kuthiwa: “Iphisi elinamandla njengoNimrode ebusweni bukaJehova.” 10Ukubusa kwakhe kwaqala eBabele, nase-Ereke, nase-Akade, naseKaline, ezweni laseShineyari. 11Waphuma kulelo zwe, waya e-Asiriya, wakha iNineve, neRehoboti-Ire, neKhala, 12 neResene phakathi kweNineve neKhala; lo ungumuzi omkhulu.

Igama lomfowabo lalinguJokothane. 26UJokothane wazala o-Alimodade, noShelefe, noHasaramavete, noJere, 27noHadoramu, no-Uzali, noDikila, 28no-Obale, no-Abimayele, noSheba, 29no-Ofiri, noHavila, noJababi; bonke laba babengamadodana kaJokothane. 30Ukwakha kwabo kwasukela eMesha kwaze kwafika ngaseSefare, intaba yasempumalanga.
31Laba babe ngamadodana kaShemi ngemindeni yawo nangezilimi zawo, emazweni awo nasezizweni zawo.
