¹ ESTAS son las generaciones de los hijos de Noé: Sem, Châm y Japhet, á los cuales nacieron hijos después del diluvio.

² Los hijos de Japhet: Gomer, y Magog, y Madai, y Javán, y Tubal, y Meshech, y Tiras.

³ Y los hijos de Gomer: Ashkenaz, y Riphat, y Togorma.

⁴ Y los hijos de Javán: Elisa, y Tarsis, Kittim, y Dodanim.

⁵ Por éstos fueron repartidas las islas de las gentes en sus tierras, cada cual según su lengua, conforme á sus familias en sus naciones.

⁶ Los hijos de Châm: Cush, y Mizraim, y Phut, y Canaán.

⁷ Y los hijos de Cush: Seba, Havila, y Sabta, y Raama, y Sabtecha. Y los hijos de Raama: Sheba y Dedán.

⁸ Y Cush engendró á Nimrod, éste comenzó á ser poderoso en la tierra.

⁹ Este fué vigoroso cazador delante de Jehová; por lo cual se dice: Así como Nimrod, vigoroso cazador delante de Jehová.

¹⁰ Y fué la cabecera de su reino Babel, y Erech, y Accad, y Calneh, en la tierra de Shinar.

¹¹ De aquesta tierra salió Assur, y edificó á Nínive, y á Rehoboth, y á Calah,

¹² Y á Ressen entre Nínive y Calah; la cual es ciudad grande.

¹³ Y Mizraim engendró á Ludim, y á Anamim, y á Lehabim, y á Naphtuhim,

¹⁴ Y á Pathrusim, y á Casluim de donde salieron los Filisteos, y á Caphtorim.

¹⁵ Y Canaán engendró á Sidón, su primogénito y á Heth,

¹⁶ Y al Jebuseo, y al Amorrheo, y al Gergeseo,

¹⁷ Y al Heveo, y al Araceo, y al Sineo,

¹⁸ Y al Aradio, y al Samareo, y al Amatheo: y después se derramaron las familias de los Cananeos.

¹⁹ Y fué el término de los Cananeos desde Sidón, viniendo á Gerar hasta Gaza, hasta entrar en Sodoma y Gomorra, Adma, y Zeboim hasta Lasa.

²⁰ Estos son los hijos de Châm por sus familias, por sus lenguas, en sus tierras, en sus naciones.

²¹ También le nacieron hijos á Sem, padre de todos los hijos de Heber, y hermano mayor de Japhet.

²² Y los hijos de Sem: Elam, y Assur, y Arphaxad, y Lud, y Aram.

²³ Y los hijos de Aram: Uz, y Hul, y Gether, y Mas.

²⁴ Y Arphaxad engendró á Sala, y Sala engendró á Heber.

²⁵ Y á Heber nacieron dos hijos: el nombre de uno fué Peleg, porque en sus días fué repartida la tierra; y el nombre de su hermano, Joctán.

²⁶ Y Joctán engendró á Almodad, y á Sheleph, y Hazarmaveth, y á Jera,

²⁷ Y á Hadoram, y á Uzal, y á Dicla,

²⁸ Y á Obal, y á Abimael, y á Seba,

²⁹ Y á Ophir, y á Havila, y á Jobad: todos estos fueron hijos de Joctán.

³⁰ Y fué su habitación desde Mesa viniendo de Sephar, monte á la parte del oriente.

³¹ Estos fueron los hijos de Sem por sus familias, por sus lenguas, en sus tierras, en sus naciones.

³² Estas son las familias de Noé por sus descendencias, en sus naciones; y de éstos fueron divididas las gentes en la tierra después del diluvio.

¹ The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

² It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

³ They said one to another, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

⁴ They said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."

⁵ Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

⁶ Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

⁷ Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

⁸ So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

⁹ Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

¹⁰ This is the history of the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.

¹¹ Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the father of sons and daughters.

¹² Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the father of Shelah.

¹⁴ Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber:

¹⁵ and Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Eber, and became the father of sons and daughters.

¹⁶ Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg.

¹⁷ Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of sons and daughters.

¹⁸ Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu.

¹⁹ Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of sons and daughters.

²⁰ Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.

²¹ Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of sons and daughters.

²⁵ Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of sons and daughters.

²⁶ Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

²⁷ Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot.

²⁸ Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.

²⁹ Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.

³⁰ Sarai was barren. She had no child.

³¹ Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

³² The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
