10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

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.

Formarea şi răspândirea neamurilor pe pământ

10 Aceasta este genealogia[a] fiilor lui Noe – Sem, Ham şi Iafet – şi aceştia au fost fiii care li s-au născut după potop.

Iafetiţii

Fiii[b] lui Iafet au fost: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Iavan, Tubal, Meşek şi Tiras.

Fiii lui Gomer au fost: Aşchenaz, Rifat şi Togarma.

Fiii lui Iavan au fost: Elişa, Tarşiş, Chitim şi Dodanim[c]. Din aceştia s-au răspândit în teritoriile lor neamurile de pe coastă, fiecare neam având limba lui şi fiind organizat pe clanuri în propriul său teritoriu.

Hamiţii

Fiii lui Ham au fost: Cuş, Miţrayim[d], Put şi Canaan.

Fiii lui Cuş au fost: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Rama şi Sabteca.

Fiii lui Rama au fost: Şeba şi Dedan.

Lui Cuş[e] i s-a născut Nimrod; acesta a ajuns un om puternic pe pământ. El a fost un vânător puternic înaintea Domnului; de aceea se spune: „Ca Nimrod, vânător puternic înaintea Domnului. 10 Primele centre ale regatului său au fost: Babel, Erec, Akkad şi Calne[f], în ţara Şinar[g]. 11 Din acea ţară, el s-a dus în Asur[h] şi a construit Ninive, Rehobot-Ir, Calah 12 şi Resen, care este între Ninive şi Calah; aceasta este cetatea cea mare.

13 Din Miţrayim provin ludiţii, anamiţii, lehabiţii, naftuhiţii,

14 patrusiţii, casluhiţii şi caftoriţii;

din casluhiţi provin filistenii.

15 Lui Canaan i s-a născut Sidon, întâiul său născut, şi Het;

16 din el provin şi iebusiţii, amoriţii, ghirgasiţii,

17 hiviţii, archiţii, siniţii,

18 arvadiţii, ţemariţii şi hamatiţii.

După aceea clanurile canaaniţilor s-au răspândit, 19 iar hotarele lor se întindeau de la Sidon spre Gherar, până la Gaza şi apoi spre Sodoma, Gomora, Adma şi Ţeboim, până la Laşa.

20 Aceştia au fost urmaşii lui Ham, potrivit clanurilor lor, după limbile lor, în ţările şi în cadrul neamurilor lor.

Semiţii

21 I s-au născut fii şi lui Sem, fratele mai mare al lui Iafet[i]; Sem a fost strămoşul tuturor fiilor lui Eber.

22 Fiii lui Sem au fost: Elam, Asur, Arpahşad, Lud şi Aram.

23 Fiii lui Aram au fost: Uţ, Hul, Gheter şi Maş[j].

24 Lui Arpahşad i s-a născut Şelah, iar lui Şelah[k] i s-a născut Eber.

25 Lui Eber i s-au născut doi fii: numele unuia era Peleg[l], pentru că în timpul vieţii lui a fost împărţit pământul, iar numele fratelui său era Ioktan.

26 Lui Ioktan i s-au născut Almodad, Şelef, Haţar-Mavet, Iarah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla,

28 Obal, Abimael, Şeba,

29 Ofir, Havila şi Iobab.

Toţi aceştia au fost fiii lui Ioktan. 30 Regiunea în care locuiau se întindea de la Meşa spre Sefar, muntele de la răsărit. 31 Aceştia au fost urmaşii lui Sem, potrivit clanurilor lor, după limbile lor, în ţările şi în cadrul neamurilor lor.

32 Acestea au fost clanurile fiilor lui Noe, potrivit urmaşilor lor, în cadrul neamurilor lor; din ei s-au răspândit neamurile pe pământ, după potop.

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.

(C)The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, [a]Riphath, and Togarmah. The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and [b]Dodanim. 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.

(E)The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, [c]Put, and Canaan. The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

Cush begot (F)Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 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.
