10 These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.

The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.

And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.

And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim and Dodanim.

By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.

And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.

And the sons of Chus: Saba, and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.

Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.

And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.

11 Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.

12 Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.

13 And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,

14 And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.

15 And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,

16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,

17 The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,

18 And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.

19 And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.

20 These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

21 Of Sem also, the father of all the children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

22 The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether, and Mess.

24 But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.

25 And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name Jectan.

26 Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,

27 And Aduram, and Uzal, and Decla,

28 And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,

29 And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Jectan.

30 And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.

31 These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.

32 These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.

挪亚三个儿子的后代

10 洪水以后,挪亚的儿子闪、含和雅弗都生养了儿女,以下是他们的后代。

雅弗的儿子是歌篾、玛各、玛代、雅完、土巴、米设、提拉。 歌篾的儿子是亚实基拿、利法、陀迦玛。 雅完的儿子是以利沙、他施、基提、多单。 雅弗的这些后裔按宗族、语言和民族分散在各海岛。

含的儿子是古实、麦西[a]、弗、迦南。 古实的儿子是西巴、哈腓拉、撒弗他、拉玛、撒弗提迦。拉玛的儿子是示巴和底但。

古实也是宁录之父,宁录是世上第一位勇士, 在耶和华眼中是个孔武有力的猎人,因此有俗话说:“要像宁录那样在耶和华眼中是个孔武有力的猎人。” 10 他首先在示拿地区的巴别、以力、亚甲、甲尼各地建国, 11 后来扩展到亚述,在那里建立了尼尼微、利河伯、迦拉各城, 12 又在尼尼微与迦拉之间建立了利鲜大城。

13 麦西的后代有路低人、亚拿米人、利哈比人、拿弗土希人、 14 帕斯鲁细人、迦斯路希人和迦斐托人。非利士人是迦斐托人的后代。

15 迦南生长子西顿和次子赫, 16 他的后代还有耶布斯人、亚摩利人、革迦撒人、 17 希未人、亚基人、西尼人、 18 亚瓦底人、洗玛利人和哈马人。后来迦南各宗族散居在各地。 19 迦南的疆域从西顿向基拉耳延伸,远至迦萨,再向所多玛、蛾摩拉、押玛、洗扁延伸,远至拉沙。 20 以上记载的都是含的子孙,他们根据自己的宗族、语言、地域和民族散居各处。

21 雅弗的哥哥闪是希伯子孙的祖先。 22 闪的儿子是以拦、亚述、亚法撒、路德、亚兰。 23 亚兰的儿子是乌斯、户勒、基帖、玛施。 24 亚法撒生沙拉,沙拉生希伯, 25 希伯有两个儿子,一个名叫法勒,意思是分开,因为那时人们分地而居。法勒的兄弟叫约坍。 26 约坍生亚摩答、沙列、哈萨玛非、耶拉、 27 哈多兰、乌萨、德拉、 28 俄巴路、亚比玛利、示巴、 29 阿斐、哈腓拉、约巴。这些都是约坍的儿子。 30 他们居住的地方,从米沙直到东边的西发山区。 31 以上记载的都是闪的子孙,他们按着自己的宗族、语言、地域和民族散居各处。

32 这些人都是洪水以后挪亚三个儿子所生的子孙,他们按着自己的族系散居在各地,后来成为地上不同的民族。

The Table of Nations

10 These are the family records(A) of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They also had sons after the flood.

Japheth’s sons:(B) Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. Gomer’s sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. And Javan’s sons: Elishah, Tarshish,(C) Kittim, and Dodanim.[a] The coastland peoples spread out into their lands. These are Japheth’s sons by their clans, in their nations. Each group had its own language.

Ham’s sons:(D) Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. Cush’s sons: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And Raamah’s sons: Sheba and Dedan.

Cush fathered Nimrod, who was the first powerful man on earth. He was a powerful hunter in the sight of the Lord. That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a powerful hunter in the sight of the Lord.” 10 His kingdom started with Babylon,(E) Erech,[b] Accad,[c] and Calneh,[d] in the land of Shinar.[e](F) 11 From that land he went to Assyria(G) and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah, 12 and Resen, between Nineveh and the great city Calah.

13 Mizraim[f](H) fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (the Philistines came from them), and Caphtorim.(I)

15 Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn, then Heth, 16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,(J) 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the Canaanite clans scattered. 19 The Canaanite border went from Sidon going toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and going toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim as far as Lasha.

20 These are Ham’s sons, by their clans, according to their languages, in their own lands and their nations.

21 And Shem, Japheth’s older brother, also had sons. Shem was the father of all the sons of Eber.(K) 22 Shem’s sons(L) were Elam, Asshur,[g] Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

23 Aram’s sons: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24 Arpachshad fathered[h] Shelah,(M) and Shelah fathered Eber. 25 Eber had two sons. One was named Peleg, for during his days the earth was divided;(N) his brother was named Joktan. 26 And Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were Joktan’s sons. 30 Their settlements extended from Mesha to Sephar, the eastern hill country.

31 These are Shem’s sons by their clans, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their family records, in their nations. The nations on earth spread out from these after the flood.(O)
