¹ Mõtle, Issand, sellele, mis on meiega juhtunud, vaata ja näe meie teotust!

² Meie pärisosa on läinud võõraste, meie kojad muulaste kätte.

³ Me oleme jäänud orbudeks, isatuiks, meie emad on lesed.

⁴ Vett me joome raha eest, puid me saame ostes.

⁵ Jälitajad on meil kaela peal, me väsime, meile ei anta asu.

⁶ Egiptusele ja Assurile me andsime käe, et saada kõhutäit leiba.

⁷ Meie vanemad tegid pattu: neid ei ole enam. Meie kanname nende süüd.

⁸ Orjad valitsevad meie üle, ei ole nende käest lahtikiskujat.

⁹ Elu ohustades toome enestele leiba, sest kõrbes on mõõk.

¹⁰ Meie nahk hõõgub nagu ahi näljakõrvetuste pärast.

¹¹ Siionis on naised raisatud ja Juuda linnades neitsid.

¹² Vürstid on poodud nende käe läbi, vanade vastu ei ole olnud austust.

¹³ Noored mehed peavad ajama käsikivi ja poisid komistavad puukoorma all.

¹⁴ Vanemad on kadunud väravast, noorukid pillimängude juurest.

¹⁵ On lõppenud meie südame rõõm, meie tants on muutunud leinaks.

¹⁶ Kroon on langenud meie peast. Häda meile, et oleme pattu teinud!

¹⁷ Seepärast on meie süda haige, nende asjade pärast on meie silmad jäänud pimedaks,

¹⁸ Siioni mäe pärast, mis on nii laastatud, et seal luusivad rebased.

¹⁹ Sina, Issand, valitsed igavesti, sinu aujärg jääb põlvest põlve.

²⁰ Mispärast sa tahad meid unustada alatiseks, meid maha jätta pikaks ajaks?

²¹ Too meid, Issand, tagasi enese juurde, siis me pöördume! Uuenda meie päevi nagu muiste!

²² Või oled sa meid tõuganud hoopis ära, vihastunud meie peale üliväga?

⁷ Edomi kohta: Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: 'Kas ei ole enam tarkust Teemanis? Kas on mõistlikel kadunud nõu? Kas nende tarkus on saanud tühjaks?

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.
