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.

³ Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.

⁴ The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: its rivers ran all around its plantation; and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.

⁵ Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot [them] forth.

⁶ All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the animals of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow lived all great nations.

⁷ Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.

⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.

⁹ I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.

¹⁰ Therefore thus said the Lord Yahweh: Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

¹¹ I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness.

¹² Strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

¹³ On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on his branches;

¹⁴ to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, [even] all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.

¹⁵ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

¹⁶ I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁷ They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, [that] lived under his shadow in the midst of the nations.

¹⁸ To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
