¹ These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.

³ And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.

⁴ And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim, and Dodanim.

⁵ By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.

⁶ And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.

⁷ And the sons of Chus: Saba and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.

⁸ Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on earth.

⁹ And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.

¹¹ Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.

¹² Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.

¹³ And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,

¹⁴ And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.

¹⁵ And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,

¹⁶ And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,

¹⁷ The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,

¹⁸ And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹ And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.

²⁰ These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

²¹ Of Sem also, the father of all children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

²² The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

²³ The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether: and Mess.

²⁴ But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.

²⁵ And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name Jectan.

²⁶ Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,

²⁷ And Anduram, and Uzal, and Decla,

²⁸ And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,

²⁹ And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab.

³⁰ And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.

³¹ These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.

³² These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.

¹ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

² Thou therefore, O son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre:

³ And say to Tyre that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, being the mart of the people for many islands: Thus saith the Lord God: O Tyre, thou hast said: I am of perfect beauty,

⁴ And situate in the heart of the sea. Thy neighbours, that built thee, have perfected thy beauty:

⁵ With fir trees of Sanir they have built thee with all sea planks: they have taken cedars from Libanus to make thee masts.

⁶ They have cut thy oars out of the oaks of Basan: and they have made thee benches of Indian ivory and cabins with things brought from the islands of Italy.

⁷ Fine broidered linen from Egypt was woven for thy sail, to be spread on thy mast: blue and purple from the islands of Elisa, were made thy covering.

⁸ The inhabitants of Sidon, and the Arabians were thy rowers : thy wise men, O Tyre, were thy pilots.

⁹ The ancients of Gebal, and the wise men thereof furnished mariners for the service of thy various furniture: all the ships of the sea, and their mariners were thy factors.

¹⁰ The Persians, and Lydians, and the Libyans were thy soldiers in thy army: they hung up the buckler and the helmet in thee for thy ornament.

¹¹ The men of Arad were with thy army upon thy walls round about: the Pygmeans also that were in thy towers, hung up their quivers on thy walls round about: they perfected thy beauty.

¹² The Carthaginians thy merchants supplied thy fairs with a multitude of all kinds of riches, with silver, iron, tin, and lead.

¹³ Greece, Thubal, and Mosoch, they were thy merchants: they brought to thy people slaves and vessels of brass.

¹⁴ From the house of Thogorma they brought horses, and horsemen, and mules to thy market.

¹⁵ The men of Dedan were thy merchants: many islands were the traffic of thy hand, they exchanged for thy price teeth of ivory and ebony.

¹⁶ The Syrian was thy merchant: by reason of the multitude of thy works, they set forth precious stones, and purple, and broidered works, and fine linen, and silk, and chodchod in thy market.

¹⁷ Juda and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants with the best corn: they set forth balm, and honey, and oil, and rosin in thy fairs.

¹⁸ The men of Damascus were thy merchants in the multitude of thy works, in the multitude of divers riches, in rich wine, in wool of the best colour.

¹⁹ Dan, and Greece, and Mosel have set forth in thy marts wrought iron: stacte, and calamus were in thy market.

²⁰ The men of Dedan were thy merchants in tapestry for seats.

²¹ Arabia, and all the princes of Cedar, they were the merchants of thy hand: thy merchants came to thee with lambs, and rants, and kids.

²² The sellers of Saba, and Reema, they were thy merchants: with all the best spices, and precious stones, and gold, which they set forth in thy market.

²³ Haran, and Chene, and Eden were thy merchants; Saba, Assur, and Chelmad sold to thee.

²⁴ They were thy merchants in divers manners, with bales of blue cloth, and of embroidered work, and of precious riches, which were wrapped up and bound with cords: they had cedars also in thy merchandise.

²⁵ The ships of the sea, were thy chief in thy merchandise : and thou wast replenished, and glorified exceedingly in the heart of the sea.

²⁶ Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the south wind hath broken thee in the heart of the sea.

²⁷ Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin.

²⁸ Thy fleets shall be troubled at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.

²⁹ And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land:

³⁰ And they shall mourn over thee with a loud voice, and shall cry bitterly: and they shall cast up dust upon their heads, and shall be sprinkled with ashes.

³¹ And they shall shave themselves bald for thee, and shall be girded with haircloth: and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul, with most bitter weeping.

³² And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and snail lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst of the sea?

³³ Which by thy merchandise that went from thee by sea didst fill many people: which by the multitude of thy riches, and of thy people didst enrich the kings of the earth.

³⁴ Now thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen.

³⁵ All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at thee: and all their kings being struck with the storm have changed their countenance.

³⁶ The merchants of people have hissed at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more.
