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 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.
