セム、ハム、ヤペテの子孫
10 ノアの三人の息子セム、ハム、ヤペテの家系は次のとおりです。以下は、洪水のあと三人に生まれた子どもたちです。
2 ヤペテの子孫はゴメル、マゴグ、マダイ、ヤワン、トバル、メシェク、ティラス。
3 ゴメルの子孫はアシュケナズ、リファテ、トガルマ。
4 ヤワンの子孫はエリシャ、タルシシュ、キティム、ドダニム。
5 この人たちの子孫は各地に散らばり、海に沿ってそれぞれの言語を持つ国々をつくりました。
6 ハムの子孫はクシュ、ミツライム、プテ、カナン。
7 クシュの子孫はセバ、ハビラ、サブタ、ラマ、サブテカ。
ラマの子孫はシェバ、デダン。
8 クシュの子孫の一人に、ニムロデという人がいました。地上で最初の王になった人です。 9 彼は神に祝福された力ある狩猟家で、その名が知れ渡っていました。「神に祝福された力ある狩猟家ニムロデのような人」という称賛のことばもあったほどです。 10 彼は帝国をシヌアルの地に建て、バベル、エレク、アカデ、カルネなどを中心に栄えました。 11-12 領土はやがてアッシリヤまで広がりました。ニネベ、レホボテ・イル、ケラフ、ニネベとケラフの間にあるレセンなどは、みな彼が建てた大きな町です。特にレセンは、王国の中でも重要な町でした。
13-14 ミツライムは、次の地域に住みついた人たちの先祖となりました。ルデ、アナミム、レハビム、ナフトヒム、パテロス、ペリシテ人が出たカスルヒム、カフトル。
15-19 カナンの長男はシドンで、ヘテも彼の子です。カナンの子孫から次の氏族が分かれ出ました。エブス人、エモリ人、ギルガシ人、ヒビ人、アルキ人、シニ人、アルワデ人、ツェマリ人、ハマテ人。カナンの子孫はやがて、シドンからガザ地区のゲラルに至る一帯に進出し、さらにソドム、ゴモラ、アデマ、ツェボイム、そしてレシャの近くまで広がりました。
20 以上がハムの子孫で、たくさんの国や地方に散らばり、多くの国語を話すようになりました。
21 ヤペテの兄セムはエベルのすべての子孫の父祖となりました。 22 セムの子孫は次のとおりです。エラム、アシュル、アルパクシャデ、ルデ、アラム。
23 アラムの子孫はウツ、フル、ゲテル、マシュ。
24 アルパクシャデの息子はシェラフで、シェラフの息子がエベルです。
25 エベルには二人の息子が生まれました。ペレグ〔「分裂」の意〕とヨクタンです。ペレグという名の由来は、彼の時代に世界が分裂し、人々が散らされたからです。
26-30 ヨクタンの子孫はアルモダデ、シェレフ、ハツァルマベテ、エラフ、ハドラム、ウザル、ディクラ、オバル、アビマエル、シェバ、オフィル、ハビラ、ヨバブ。ヨクタンの子孫はみな、メシャからセファルに至る東部の丘陵地帯に住みつきました。
31 以上がセムの子孫です。それぞれを政治区分、国語、地理的な位置などによって分けると、このようになります。
32 これらの人々はみなノアの子孫の家系で、洪水のあと何世代にもわたって、彼らからいろいろな国が興ってきたのです。
Genesis 10
Easy-to-Read Version
Nations Grow and Spread
10 This is the history of the families of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They are Noah’s sons. These men had children after the flood.
Japheth’s Descendants
2 Japheth’s sons were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
3 Gomer’s sons were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 Javan’s sons were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.[a]
5 All the people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea came from these sons of Japheth. The people separated and went to different countries according to languages, families, and nations.
Ham’s Descendants
6 Ham’s sons were Cush,[b] Mizraim,[c] Put, and Canaan.
7 Cush’s sons were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca.
Raamah’s sons were Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush also had a son named Nimrod who became a very powerful man on earth. 9 He was a great hunter before the Lord. That is why people compare other men to him and say, “That man is like Nimrod, a great hunter before the Lord.”
10 Nimrod’s kingdom spread from Babylon to Erech, to Akkad, and then to Calneh in the land of Babylonia.[d] 11 Nimrod also went into Assyria. In Assyria, Nimrod built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, and 12 Resen. (Resen is the city between Nineveh and Calah, the big city.)
13 Mizraim was the father of the people of Lud, Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh, 14 Pathrus, Casluh, and Caphtor. (The Philistine people came from Casluh.)
15 Canaan was the father of Sidon. Sidon was Canaan’s first son. Canaan was also the father of the Hittites, 16 Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 17 Hivites, Arkites, the Sinites, 18 Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites.
The families of Canaan spread to different parts of the world. 19 The land where the Canaanites lived went from Sidon down along the coast to Gerar and from Gaza as far east as Sodom and Gomorrah and from Admah and Zeboiim as far north as Laish.
20 All these people were descendants of Ham. They are arranged by families, languages, countries, and nations.
Shem’s Descendants
21 Shem was Japheth’s older brother. One of Shem’s descendants was Eber, the father of all the Hebrew people.[e]
22 Shem’s sons were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
23 Aram’s sons were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah.
Shelah was the father of Eber.
25 Eber was the father of two sons. One son was named Peleg.[f] He was given this name because the earth was divided during his life. The other son was named Joktan.
26 Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these people were Joktan’s sons. 30 They lived in the area between Mesha and the hill country in the East.[g] Mesha was toward the country of Sephar.
31 These are the people from the family of Shem. They are arranged by families, languages, countries, and nations.
32 This is the list of the families from Noah’s sons. They are arranged according to their nations. From these families came all the people who spread across the earth after the flood.
