挪亞三子的後代(A)

10 以下是挪亞的兒子閃、含、雅弗的後代。洪水以後,他們都生了兒子。

雅弗的兒子是歌篾、瑪各、瑪代、雅完、土巴、米設、提拉。 歌篾的兒子是亞實基拿、利法、陀迦瑪。 雅完的兒子是以利沙、他施,基提人和多單人。 這些人的後裔分散居住在沿海的土地和島嶼上。各人隨著自己的方言、宗族,住在自己的國土中。

含的兒子是古實、埃及、弗和迦南。 古實的兒子是西巴、哈腓拉、撒弗他、拉瑪和撒弗提迦。拉瑪的兒子是示巴和底但。 古實又生寧錄;寧錄是世上第一位英雄。 他在耶和華面前是個英勇的獵人;因此有句俗語說:“就像寧錄一樣,在耶和華面前是個英勇的獵人。” 10 他開始建國是在示拿地的巴別、以力、亞甲和甲尼。 11 他從那地出來,到亞述去,建造了尼尼微、利河伯城、迦拉, 12 和尼尼微與迦拉之間的利鮮,就是那大城。 13 埃及生路低人,亞拿米人、利哈比人、拿弗土希人、 14 帕斯魯細人、迦斯路希人和迦斐託人;從迦斐託出來的有非利士人。

15 迦南生了長子西頓,又生赫, 16 以及耶布斯人、亞摩利人、革迦撒人、 17 希未人、亞基人、西尼人、 18 亞瓦底人、洗瑪利人、哈馬人,後來迦南人的宗族分散了。 19 迦南人的境界是從西頓伸向基拉耳,直到迦薩;又伸向所多瑪、蛾摩拉、押瑪、洗扁,直到拉沙。 20 這些人都是含的子孫,隨著自己的宗族、方言,住在自己的國土中。

21 雅弗的哥哥閃,就是希伯所有子孫的祖宗,他也生了孩子。 22 閃的兒子是以攔、亞述、亞法撒、路德和亞蘭。 23 亞蘭的兒子是烏斯、戶勒、基帖、瑪施。 24 亞法撒生沙拉,沙拉生希伯。 25 希伯生了兩個兒子,一個名叫法勒,因為他在世的時候,世人就分散了;法勒的兄弟名叫約坍。 26 約坍生亞摩答、沙列、哈薩瑪非、耶拉、 27 哈多蘭、烏薩、德拉、 28 俄巴路、亞比瑪利、示巴、 29 阿斐、哈腓拉、約巴,這些人都是約坍的兒子。 30 他們居住的地方,是從米沙伸向西發,直到東邊的山地。 31 這都是閃的子孫,隨著自己的宗族、方言,住在自己的國土中。

32 這些宗族都是挪亞的子孫,按著他們的族系住在列國中。洪水以後,地上的列國都是從這些宗族分出來的。

The Table of Nations

10 This is the account(A) of Shem, Ham and Japheth,(B) Noah’s sons,(C) who themselves had sons after the flood.

The Japhethites(D)

The sons[a] of Japheth:

Gomer,(E) Magog,(F) Madai, Javan,(G) Tubal,(H) Meshek(I) and Tiras.

The sons of Gomer:

Ashkenaz,(J) Riphath and Togarmah.(K)

The sons of Javan:

Elishah,(L) Tarshish,(M) the Kittites(N) and the Rodanites.[b] (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)(O)

The Hamites(P)

The sons of Ham:

Cush,(Q) Egypt, Put(R) and Canaan.(S)

The sons of Cush:

Seba,(T) Havilah,(U) Sabtah, Raamah(V) and Sabteka.

The sons of Raamah:

Sheba(W) and Dedan.(X)

Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod,(Y) who became a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty(Z) hunter(AA) before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon,(AB) Uruk,(AC) Akkad and Kalneh,(AD) in[d] Shinar.[e](AE) 11 From that land he went to Assyria,(AF) where he built Nineveh,(AG) Rehoboth Ir,[f] Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.

13 Egypt was the father of

the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14 Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines(AH) came) and Caphtorites.(AI)

15 Canaan(AJ) was the father of

Sidon(AK) his firstborn,[g](AL) and of the Hittites,(AM) 16 Jebusites,(AN) Amorites,(AO) Girgashites,(AP) 17 Hivites,(AQ) Arkites, Sinites, 18 Arvadites,(AR) Zemarites and Hamathites.(AS)

Later the Canaanite(AT) clans scattered 19 and the borders of Canaan(AU) reached from Sidon(AV) toward Gerar(AW) as far as Gaza,(AX) and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim,(AY) as far as Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

The Semites(AZ)

21 Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was[h] Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.(BA)

22 The sons of Shem:

Elam,(BB) Ashur,(BC) Arphaxad,(BD) Lud and Aram.(BE)

23 The sons of Aram:

Uz,(BF) Hul, Gether and Meshek.[i]

24 Arphaxad was the father of[j] Shelah,

and Shelah the father of Eber.(BG)

25 Two sons were born to Eber:

One was named Peleg,[k] because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.

26 Joktan was the father of

Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal,(BH) Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,(BI) 29 Ophir,(BJ) Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

30 The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.

31 These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons,(BK) according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth(BL) after the flood.
