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.

Nachkommenschaft der drei Söhne Noahs

10 Dies ist das Geschlechtsregister der Söhne Noahs: Sem, Ham und Japhet; ihnen wurden nach der Sündflut Kinder geboren.

Die Söhne Japhets waren: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Mesech und Tiras. Die Söhne Gomers aber: Aschkenas, Riphat und Togarma. Und die Söhne Javans: Elischa, Tarsis, Kittim und Rodanim. Sie haben sich auf die Inseln der Heiden[a] verteilt, in ihre Länder, ein jeder nach seiner Sprache; in ihre Völkerschaften, ein jeder nach seiner Abstammung.

Und dies sind die Söhne Hams: Kusch, Mizraim, Put und Kanaan. Und die Söhne Kuschs: Seba, Chavila, Sabta, Raema, Sabteka und Dedan Auch zeugte Kusch den Nimrod; der fing an ein Gewaltiger zu sein auf Erden. Er war ein gewaltiger Jäger vor dem Herrn; daher sagt man: Ein gewaltiger Jäger vor dem Herrn wie Nimrod. 10 Und der Anfang seines Königreiches war Babel, Erek, Akkad und Kalne im Lande Sinear. 11 Von diesem Land zog er nach Assur aus und baute Ninive, Rechobot-Ir und Kelach, 12 dazu Resen, zwischen Ninive und Kelach; das ist die große Stadt. 13 Mizraim aber zeugte die Luditer, Anamiter, Lehabiter und Naphtuchiter; 14 auch die Patrusiter und die Kasluchiter, von welchen die Philister und die Kaphtoriter ausgegangen sind. 15 Kanaan aber zeugte Zidon, seinen Erstgeborenen und Het; 16 auch die Jebusiter, Amoriter und Girgasiter; 17 die Heviter, Arkiter und Siniter; 18 die Arvaditer, Zemariter und die Chamatiter; und darnach breiteten sich die Geschlechter der Kanaaniter aus. 19 Und der Kanaaniter Gebiet erstreckte sich von Zidon an bis dahin, wo man von Gerar nach Gaza kommt; desgleichen bis dahin, wo man von Sodom und Gomorra, Adama und Zeboim nach Lascha kommt. 20 Das sind die Söhne Hams nach ihren Geschlechtern und Sprachen, in ihren Ländern und Völkerschaften.

21 Auch Sem wurden Kinder geboren,ihm, dem Vater aller Söhne Ebers[b], Japhets älterem Bruder. 22 Sems Söhne waren Elam, Assur, Arpakschad, Lud und Aram. 23 Und Arams Söhne: Uz, Chul, Geter und Masch. 24 Arpakschad aber zeugte den Schelach, und Schelach zeugte den Eber. 25 Und dem Eber wurden zwei Söhne geboren; der eine hieß Peleg[c], weil in seinen Tagen das Land verteilt wurde; sein Bruder aber hieß Joktan. 26 Und Joktan zeugte Almodad, Schaleph, Chazarmavet, Jarach, 27 Hadoram, Usal, Dikla, 28 Obal, Abimael, Scheba, 29 Ophir, Chavila und Jobad; diese alle sind Söhne Joktans. 30 Und ihre Wohnsitze erstreckten sich von Mesa an, bis man gen Sephar kommt, zum östlichen Gebirge.

31 Das sind die Söhne Sems nach ihren Geschlechtern und Sprachen, in ihren Ländern und Völkerschaften.

32 Das sind die Geschlechter der Söhne Noahs nach ihrer Abstammung in ihren Völkern; und von ihnen haben sich nach der Sündflut die Völker auf der Erde verteilt.

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 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.

Släkttavlan för Noas söner

10 Detta är berättelsen om Noas söners, Sems, Hams och Jafets, släkt. De fick söner[a] efter floden.

Jafet

(1 Krön 1:5-7)

Jafets söner var Gomer, Magog, Madaj, Javan, Tuval, Meshek och Tiras.

Gomers söner var Ashkenas, Rifat och Togarma.

Javans söner var Elisha och Tarshish, kittéerna och rodanéerna.

Deras ättlingar spred sig till olika kustländer med sina skilda folk, stammar och språk.

Ham

(1 Krön 1:8-16)

Hams söner var Kush, Misrajim, Put och Kanaan.

Kushs söner var Seba, Havila, Savta, Ragma och Savteka.

Ragmas söner var Saba och Dedan.

Från Kush härstammade också Nimrod, den förste härskaren på jorden. Han var en väldig jägare inför Herren, och hans namn blev ett ordspråk: ”En väldig jägare inför Herren, som Nimrod.” 10 Kärnan i hans rike omfattade Babel, Erek, Ackad och Kalne, i Shinars[b] land. 11 Därifrån utsträckte han sitt välde till Assyrien. Han byggde Nineve, Rechovot Ir, Kelach 12 och Resen, som är beläget mellan Nineve och Kelach, den stora staden.

13 Misrajim var stamfar till ludéerna, anaméerna, lehavéerna, naftuchéerna, 14 patruséerna, kasluchéerna, som filistéerna härstammar från, och kaftoréerna.

15 Kanaan var far till Sidon, som var hans förstfödde. Han var också stamfar till Het, 16 jevuséerna, amoréerna, girgashéerna, 17 hivéerna, arkéerna, sinéerna, 18 arvadéerna, semaréerna och hamatéerna.

Slutligen spred sig Kanaans ättlingar 19 från Sidon och hela vägen till Gerar, ända till Gaza och till Sodom, Gomorra, Adma och Sevojim, bort till Lasha[c].

20 Dessa var Hams ättlingar efter sina stammar, språk, länder och folkslag.

Sem

(1 Krön 1:17-23)

21 Också Sem, Jafets äldste bror, fick söner och blev stamfar till alla Evers ättlingar.

22 Sems söner var Elam, Assur, Arpakshad, Lud och Aram.

23 Arams söner var Us, Hul, Geter och Mash.

24 Arpakshad var far till Shelach, och Shelach var far till Ever.

25 Ever fick två söner, den ene hette Peleg[d] och den andre Joktan. På Pelegs tid delades jorden. Hans bror hette Joktan.

26 Joktan var far till Almodad, Shelef, Hasarmavet, Jerach,

27 Hadoram, Usal, Dikla, 28 Oval, Avimael, Saba,

29 Ofir, Havila och Jovav. Alla dessa var Joktans söner.

30 De bodde i området från Mesha till Sefar, bergstrakten i öster.

31 Dessa var alltså Sems ättlingar, efter sina stammar, språk, länder och folkslag.

32 Dessa är Noas söners stammar efter sina släkter. Från dem har alla folk spridit sig över jorden efter floden.
