As nações aumentam e se espalham

10 Esta é a história da família dos filhos de Noé: Sem, Cam e Jafé. Depois do dilúvio cada um deles teve filhos.

Os descendentes de Jafé

Os filhos de Jafé foram Gômer, Magogue, Madai, Javã, Tubal, Meseque e Tirás.

Os filhos de Gômer foram Asquenaz, Rifate e Togarma.

Os filhos de Javã foram Elisá, Társis, Quitim, e Rodanim[a].

Os descendentes de Jafé são os povos que foram viver junto à costa do mar[b]. Cada nação e tribo, descendente de Jafé, se separou das outras nações e tribos, vindo a ter o seu próprio território e a sua própria língua.

Os descendentes de Cam

Os filhos de Cam foram Cuxe, Egito, Pute e Canaã.

Os filhos de Cuxe foram Sebá, Havilá, Sabtá, Raamá, e Sabtecá.

Os filhos de Raamá foram Sabá e Dedã.

Cuxe foi o pai de Nimrode, que foi o primeiro homem poderoso[c] na terra. Nimrode foi considerado um caçador valente pelo SENHOR. Por isso, as pessoas diziam:

—Que seja como Nimrode, considerado um caçador valente pelo SENHOR.

10 Estas foram as primeiras cidades do reino de Nimrode: Babel, Ereque, Acade e Calné, na Suméria. 11 Da Suméria, ele partiu para a Assíria onde fundou as cidades de Nínive, Reobote-Ir, Calá 12 e Resem, que ficava entre Nínive e a grande cidade de Calá.

13 Egito foi o antepassado das tribos dos luditas, anamitas, leabitas, naftuítas, 14 os patrusitas, os casluítas (deles vieram os filisteus) e os caftoritas.

15 Canaã foi o pai de Sidom, seu primeiro filho, e de Hete. 16 Canaã também foi o antepassado dos jebuseus, amorreus, girgaseus, 17 heveus, arquitas, sineus, 18 arvadeus, zemareus e os hamateus.

Mais tarde os cananeus se espalharam. 19 O seu território estendia-se desde Sidom (em direção a Gerar) até chegar a Gaza e, de lá, ia até Sodoma, Gomorra, Admá e Zeboim, até chegar a Lasa.

20 Estes foram os filhos de Cam; cada nação e tribo que saiu dele tinha o seu próprio território e a sua própria língua.

Os descendentes de Sem

21 Sem, o irmão mais velho de Jafé, também teve filhos. Sem foi o antepassado de todos os filhos de Héber.

22 Os filhos de Sem foram Elão, Assur, Arfaxade, Lude e Arã.

23 Os filhos de Arã foram: Uz, Hul, Géter e Más.

24 Arfaxade foi o pai de Salá,

e Salá foi o pai de Héber.

25 Héber teve dois filhos. Um se chamou Pelegue, que quer dizer “divisão”. Deram-lhe esse nome porque no seu tempo os habitantes da terra se espalharam por muitos lugares. O irmão de Pelegue se chamava Joctã.

26 Joctã foi o pai de Almodá, Salefe, Hazar-Mavé, Jerá, 27 Adorão, Uzal, Dicla, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sabá, 29 Ofir, Havilá e Jobabe. Todos estes foram filhos de Joctã. 30 Todos viviam nas montanhas ao leste, desde Messa até Sefar.

31 Estes foram os filhos de Sem, cada nação e tribo que saiu dele tinha o seu próprio território e a sua própria língua.

32 Estas são as famílias dos filhos de Noé e os seus descendentes, nação por nação. Estas nações se espalharam pela terra depois do dilúvio.

Nations Descended from Noah

10 These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

(A)The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. The sons of Javan: Elishah, (B)Tarshish, (C)Kittim, and Dodanim. From these (D)the coastland peoples spread in their lands, each with his own language, by their clans, in their nations.

(E)The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.[a] He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The beginning of his kingdom was (F)Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in (G)the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and 12 Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. 13 (H)Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom[b] the Philistines came), and (I)Caphtorim.

15 (J)Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth, 16 and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the clans of the Canaanites dispersed. 19 And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth,[c] children were born. 22 The (K)sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arpachshad fathered (L)Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. 25 (M)To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg,[d] for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan. 26 Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 (N)Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

32 These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations, (O)and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.

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)

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.
