¹ Και αυται ειναι αι γενεαλογιαι των υιων του Νωε, Σημ, Χαμ και Ιαφεθ· και εγεννηθησαν εις αυτους υιοι μετα τον κατακλυσμον.

² Οι υιοι του Ιαφεθ ησαν Γομερ, και Μαγωγ, και Μαδαι, και Ιαυαν, και Θουβαλ, και Μεσεχ, και Θειρας.

³ Και οι υιοι του Γομερ, Ασχεναζ, και Ριφαθ, και Θωγαρμα.

⁴ Και οι υιοι του Ιαυαν, Ελεισα, και Θαρσεις, Κιττειμ, και Δωδανειμ.

⁵ Εκ τουτων εμοιρασθησαν αι νησοι των εθνων εις τους τοπους αυτων· εκαστου κατα την γλωσσαν αυτου, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων.

⁶ Και οι υιοι του Χαμ, Χους, και Μισραιμ, και Φουθ, και Χανααν.

⁷ Και οι υιοι του Χους, Σεβα, και Αβιλα, και Σαβθα, και Ρααμα, και Σαβθεκα· και οι υιοι του Ρααμα, Σεβα, και Δαιδαν.

⁸ Και ο Χους εγεννησε τον Νεβρωδ· ουτος ηρχισε να ηναι ισχυρος επι της γης·

⁹ αυτος ητο ισχυρος κυνηγος ενωπιον του Κυριου· δια τουτο λεγεται, Ως Νεβρωδ, ισχυρος κυνηγος ενωπιον του Κυριου·

¹⁰ και η αρχη της βασιλειας αυτου εσταθη Βαβυλων, και Ερεχ, και Αχαδ, και Χαλνε, εν τη γη Σεννααρ.

¹¹ Εκ της γης εκεινης εξηλθεν ο Ασσουρ, και ωκοδομησε την Νινευη, και την πολιν Ρεχωβωθ, και την Χαλαχ,

¹² και την Ρεσεν μεταξυ της Νινευη και της Χαλαχ· αυτη ειναι η πολις η μεγαλη.

¹³ Και ο Μισραιμ εγεννησε τους Λουδειμ, και τους Αναμειμ, και τους Λεαβειμ, και τους Ναφθουχειμ,

¹⁴ και τους Πατρουσειμ, και τους Χασλουχειμ, εκ των οποιων εξηλθον οι Φιλισταιοι, και τους Χαφθορειμ.

¹⁵ Και ο Χανααν εγεννησε τον Σιδωνα, πρωτοτοκον αυτου, και τον Χετταιον,

¹⁶ και τον Ιεβουσαιον, και τον Αμορραιον, και τον Γεργεσαιον,

¹⁷ και τον Ευαιον, και τον Αρουχαιον, και τον Ασενναιον,

¹⁸ και τον Αρβαδιον, και τον Σαμαραιον, και τον Αμαθαιον. Και μετα τουτο διεσπαρησαν αι φυλαι των Χαναναιων.

¹⁹ Και ησαν τα ορια των Χαναναιων απο Σιδωνος, καθως υπαγει τις εις Γεραρα, εως Γαζης, και καθως υπαγει τις εις Σοδομα και Γομορρα, και Αδαμα, και Σεβωειμ, εως Λασα.

²⁰ Ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι του Χαμ, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, κατα τας γλωσσας αυτων, εις τους τοπους αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων.

²¹ Και εις τον Σημ, τον πατερα παντων των υιων του Εβερ, τον αδελφον Ιαφεθ του μεγαλητερου, εγεννηθησαν και εις αυτον υιοι.

²² Υιοι του Σημ ησαν Ελαμ, και Ασσουρ, και Αρφαξαδ, και Λουδ, και Αραμ.

²³ Και οι υιοι του Αραμ, Ουζ, και Ουλ, και Γεθερ, και Μας.

²⁴ Και ο Αρφαξαδ εγεννησε τον Σαλα· και ο Σαλα εγεννησε τον Εβερ.

²⁵ Και εις τον Εβερ εγεννηθησαν δυο υιοι· το ονομα του ενος, Φαλεγ· διοτι εν ταις ημεραις αυτου διεμερισθη η γη· και το ονομα του αδελφου αυτου, Ιοκταν.

²⁶ Και ο Ιοκταν εγεννησε τον Αλμωδαδ, και τον Σαλεφ, και τον Ασαρμαβεθ, και τον Ιαραχ,

²⁷ και τον Αδωραμ, και τον Ουζαλ, και τον Δικλα,

²⁸ και τον Οβαλ, και τον Αβιμαηλ, και τον Σεβα,

²⁹ και τον Οφειρ, και τον Αβιλα, και τον Ιωβαβ· παντες ουτοι ησαν υιοι του Ιοκταν.

³⁰ Και η κατοικια αυτων ητο απο Μησα, καθως υπαγει τις εις Σεφαρα, ορος της Ανατολης.

³¹ Ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι του Σημ, κατα τας φυλας αυτων, κατα τας γλωσσας αυτων, εις τους τοπους αυτων, κατα τα εθνη αυτων.

³² Αυται ειναι αι φυλαι των υιων του Νωε, κατα τας γενεας αυτων, εις τα εθνη αυτων· και εκ τουτων διεσπαρησαν τα εθνη επι της γης μετα τον κατακλυσμον.

¹ For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.

² The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Yahweh's land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

³ It will happen in the day that Yahweh will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,

⁴ that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!"

⁵ Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,

⁶ who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.

⁷ The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.

⁸ Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, "Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us."

⁹ Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

¹⁰ They all will answer and ask you, "Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?"

¹¹ Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.

¹² How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

¹³ You said in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!

¹⁴ I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!"

¹⁵ Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit.

¹⁶ Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, "Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;

¹⁷ who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who didn't release his prisoners to their home?"

¹⁸ All the kings of the nations, sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.

¹⁹ But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.

²⁰ You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The seed of evildoers will not be named forever.

²¹ Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.

²² "I will rise up against them," says Yahweh of Armies, "and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son," says Yahweh.

²³ "I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," says Yahweh of Armies.

²⁴ Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

²⁵ that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.

²⁶ This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

²⁷ For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?"

²⁸ This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.

²⁹ Don't rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.

³⁰ The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.

³¹ Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

³² What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
