创世记 10:1-11:9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。
2 雅弗的儿子是歌篾、玛各、玛代、雅完、土巴、米设、提拉。 3 歌篾的儿子是亚实基拿、利法、陀迦玛。 4 雅完的儿子是以利沙、他施、基提、多单。 5 雅弗的这些后裔按宗族、语言和民族分散在各海岛。
6 含的儿子是古实、麦西[a]、弗、迦南。 7 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。
8 古实也是宁录之父,宁录是世上第一位勇士, 9 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。
巴别塔
11 那时,天下人都用同一种语言,讲同一种话。 2 人们向东迁移时,在示拿地区找到一处平原,定居下来。 3 他们彼此商量说:“来呀,我们烧些砖吧。”他们用砖作石块,用柏油作水泥来造塔, 4 说:“来吧,让我们造一座城和一座高耸入云的塔,这样我们可以扬名天下,不致分散在地上。” 5 耶和华从天上下来,要察看人建造的城和塔。 6 耶和华说:“看啊,他们同属一个民族,都用同一种语言,现在就做这样的事,如果继续下去,他们会为所欲为。 7 让我们下去变乱他们的语言,使他们彼此言语不通。” 8 于是,耶和华把他们从那里分散到世界各地,他们便不再建造那城了。 9 因此,人称那城为巴别,因为耶和华在那里变乱了人类的语言,把他们分散到世界各地。

Genesis 10:1-11:9
New International Version
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)
2 The sons[a] of Japheth:
Gomer,(E) Magog,(F) Madai, Javan,(G) Tubal,(H) Meshek(I) and Tiras.
3 The sons of Gomer:
Ashkenaz,(J) Riphath and Togarmah.(K)
4 The sons of Javan:
Elishah,(L) Tarshish,(M) the Kittites(N) and the Rodanites.[b] 5 (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)
6 The sons of Ham:
Cush,(Q) Egypt, Put(R) and Canaan.(S)
7 The sons of Cush:
Seba,(T) Havilah,(U) Sabtah, Raamah(V) and Sabteka.
The sons of Raamah:
8 Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod,(Y) who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 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.
The Tower of Babel
11 Now the whole world had one language(BM) and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[l] they found a plain in Shinar[m](BN) and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks(BO) and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone,(BP) and tar(BQ) for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens,(BR) so that we may make a name(BS) for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered(BT) over the face of the whole earth.”(BU)
5 But the Lord came down(BV) to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language(BW) they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us(BX) go down(BY) and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”(BZ)
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth,(CA) and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[n](CB)—because there the Lord confused the language(CC) of the whole world.(CD) From there the Lord scattered(CE) them over the face of the whole earth.

King James Version
10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
11 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 10:1-11:9
New King James Version
Nations Descended from Noah(A)
10 Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (B)And sons were born to them after the flood.
2 (C)The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, [a]Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and [b]Dodanim. 5 From these (D)the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
6 (E)The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, [c]Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush begot (F)Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty (G)hunter (H)before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 (I)And the beginning of his kingdom was (J)Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went (K)to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
13 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim (L)(from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
15 Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and (M)Heth; 16 (N)the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite; 17 the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; 18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. 19 (O)And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20 These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.
21 And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, [d]the brother of Japheth the elder. 22 The (P)sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, (Q)Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and [e]Mash. 24 [f]Arphaxad begot (R)Salah, and Salah begot Eber. 25 (S)To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was [g]Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 [h]Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31 These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations.
32 (T)These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; (U)and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
The Tower of Babel
11 Now the whole earth had one language and one [i]speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land (V)of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and [j]bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower (W)whose top is in the heavens; let us make a (X)name for ourselves, lest we (Y)be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
5 (Z)But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, “Indeed (AA)the people are one and they all have (AB)one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they (AC)propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, (AD)let Us go down and there (AE)confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So (AF)the Lord scattered them abroad from there (AG)over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called [k]Babel, (AH)because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
