¹ Ovo je povijest Noinih sinova: Šema, Hama i Jafeta, kojima su se rodili sinovi poslije Potopa.

² Sinovi su Jafetovi: Gomer, Magog, Madaj, Javan, Tubal, Mešak, Tiras.

³ A sinovi su Gomerovi: Aškenaz, Rifat i Togarma.

⁴ Javanovi su opet sinovi: Eliša, Taršiš, Kitijci i Dodanci.

⁵ Od njih su se razgranali narodi po otocima. To su Jafetovi sinovi prema svojim zemljama - svaki s vlastitim jezikom - prema svojim plemenima i narodima.

⁶ Sinovi su Hamovi: Kuš i Misrajim, Put i Kanaan.

⁷ Kuševi su: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Rama i Sabteka. Ramini su: Šeba i Dedan.

⁸ Od Kuša se rodio Nimrod, koji je postao prvi velmoža na zemlji.

⁹ Voljom Jahve bio je silan lovac. Zato se veli: "Kao Nimrod, silan lovac voljom Jahve."

¹⁰ Glavno uporište njegova kraljevstva bili su: Babilon, Erek, Akad i Kalne, svi u zemlji Šinearu.

¹¹ Iz ove je zemlje došao Ašur. On je podigao Ninivu, Rehobot Ir, Kalah

¹² i Resen između Ninive i Kalaha (to je glavni grad).

¹³ Od Misrajima potekli su Ludijci, Anamijci, Lehabijci, Naftuhijci,

¹⁴ pa Patrušani, Kasluhijci i Kaftorci, od kojih su potekli Filistejci.

¹⁵ Od Kanaana potječe Sidon, njegov prvenac, i Het.

¹⁶ Dalje: Jebusejci, Amorejci, Girgašani,

¹⁷ Hivijci, Arkijci, Sinijci,

¹⁸ Arvađani, Semarjani i Hamaćani. Poslije se kanaanska plemena razgranaše,

¹⁹ tako da se granica Kanaanaca protezala od Sidona prema Geraru sve do Gaze pa prema Sodomi, Gomori, Admi i Sebojimu sve do Leše.

²⁰ To su sinovi Hamovi prema svojim plemenima i jezicima, po svojim zemljama i narodima.

²¹ A i Šemu - praocu svih sinova Eberovih i starijem bratu Jafetovu - rodili se sinovi.

²² Šemovi su sinovi: Elam, Ašur, Arpakšad, Lud i Aram.

²³ A Aramovi su sinovi: Us, Hul, Geter i Maš.

²⁴ Arpakšad rodi Šelaha, Šelah rodi Ebera.

²⁵ Eberu su se rodila dva sina: jednomu bješe ime Peleg, jer se za njegova vijeka zemlja razdijelila. Njegovu je bratu bilo ime Joktan.

²⁶ Od Joktana se rodiše: Almodad, Šelef, Hasarmavet, Jerah,

²⁷ Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla,

²⁸ Obal, Abimael, Šeba,

²⁹ Ofir, Havila i Jobab. Sve su to sinovi Joktanovi.

³⁰ Njihova se naselja protezahu od Meše sve do Sefara, brdovitih krajeva na istoku.

³¹ To su sinovi Šemovi prema svojim plemenima, jezicima i zemljama, po svojim narodima.

³² To su rodovi Noinih sinova prema svojim lozama i narodima. Od njih su se razgranali narodi po zemlji poslije Potopa.

¹ Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

³ The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴ The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵ Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

⁶ The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

⁷ The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸ Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

¹⁰ The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

¹³ Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

¹⁴ Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

¹⁶ the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

¹⁷ the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

¹⁸ the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹ The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

²¹ To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

²² The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

²³ The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

²⁴ Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

²⁵ To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

²⁶ Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷ Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸ Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

²⁹ Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

³⁰ Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

³¹ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
