¹ Ja need on Noa poegade Seemi, Haami ja Jaafeti järeltulijad; pärast veeuputust sündisid neile pojad.

² Jaafeti pojad olid Gomer, Maagoog, Maadai, Jaavan, Tubal, Mesek ja Tiiras.

³ Ja Gomeri pojad olid Askenas, Riifat ja Toogarma.

⁴ Ja Jaavani pojad olid Eliisa ja Tarsis, kittid ja rodanlased;

⁵ neist eraldusid saarte rahvad. Need olid Jaafeti järeltulijad nende maade järgi, igaühel oma keel, nende suguvõsade kaupa, vastavalt neile rahvastele.

⁶ Ja Haami pojad olid Kuus, Mitsraim, Puut ja Kaanan.

⁷ Ja Kuusi pojad olid Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raema ja Sabteka; ja Raema pojad olid Seeba ja Dedan.

⁸ Ja Kuusile sündis Nimrod, kes oli esimene vägev mees maa peal.

⁹ Tema oli vägev kütt Issanda ees, seepärast öeldakse: 'vägev kütt Issanda ees nagu Nimrod.'

¹⁰ Ja tema kuningriigi alguseks olid Paabel, Erek, Akad ja Kalne Sinearimaal.

¹¹ Sellelt maalt läks ta Assurisse ja ehitas Niineve, Rehobot-Iiri ja Kelahi,

¹² ja Reseni Niineve ja Kelahi vahele - see on see suur linn.

¹³ Ja Mitsraimile sündisid luudlased, anamlased, lehablased, naftuhlased,

¹⁴ patruuslased ja kasluhlased, kellest vilistid on lähtunud, ja kaftoorlased.

¹⁵ Ja Kaananile sündisid Siidon, tema esmasündinu, ja Heet,

¹⁶ jebuuslased, emorlased, girgaaslased,

¹⁷ hiivlased, arklased, siinlased,

¹⁸ arvadlased, semarlased ja hamatlased; hiljem harunesid kaananlaste suguvõsad.

¹⁹ Ja kaananlaste maa-ala oli Siidonist Gerari suunas Assani, Soodoma, Gomorra, Adma ja Seboimi suunas Lesani.

²⁰ Need olid Haami järeltulijad nende suguvõsade, keelte, maade ja rahvaste järgi.

²¹ Ja Seemile sündisid ka pojad; tema oli kõigi Eeberi poegade esiisa, Jaafeti vanem vend.

²² Seemi pojad olid Eelam, Assur, Arpaksad, Luud ja Aram.

²³ Ja Arami pojad olid Uuts, Huul, Geter ja Maas.

²⁴ Ja Arpaksadile sündis Selah, Selahile sündis Eeber.

²⁵ Ja Eeberile sündis kaks poega: ühe nimi oli Peleg, sest tema päevil jagunes maa; ja tema venna nimi oli Joktan.

²⁶ Ja Joktanile sündisid Almodad, Selef, Hasarmavet, Jerah,

²⁷ Hadoram, Uusal, Dikla,

²⁸ Oobal, Abimael, Seeba,

²⁹ Oofir, Havila ja Joobab; need kõik olid Joktani pojad.

³⁰ Nende elukohad olid Meesast Sefaara suunas idapoolses mäestikus.

³¹ Need olid Seemi järeltulijad nende suguvõsade, keelte, maade ja rahvaste järgi.

³² Need olid Noa poegade suguvõsad nende põlvnemiste ja rahvaste järgi; neist harunesid rahvad maa peal pärast veeuputust.

¹ "For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

² I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,

³ and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

⁴ "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.

⁵ Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,

⁶ and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.

⁷ Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;

⁸ and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for Yahweh has spoken it."

⁹ Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.

¹⁰ Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'

¹¹ Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Yahweh.

¹² "Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

¹³ Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."

¹⁴ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision.

¹⁵ The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

¹⁶ Yahweh will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but Yahweh will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

¹⁷ "So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.

¹⁸ It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters, and a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, and will water the valley of Shittim.

¹⁹ Egypt will be a desolation, and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

²⁰ But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

²¹ I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for Yahweh dwells in Zion."
