Genesi 10

Study

   

1 OR queste sono le generazioni dei figliuoli di Noè: Sem, Cam e Iafet; e ad essi nacquero figliuoli dopo il diluvio.

2 I figliuoli di Iafet furono Gomer, e Magog, e Madai, e Iavan, e Tubal, e Mesec, e Tiras.

3 E i figliuoli di Gomer furono Aschenaz, e Rifat, e Togarma.

4 E i figliuoli di Iavan furono Elisa e Tarsis, Chittim e Dodanim.

5 Da costoro, per le lor famiglie, nelle lor nazioni, è venuto lo spartimento dell’Isole delle genti, nei loro paesi, secondo la lingua di ciascun di essi.

6 E i figliuoli di Cam furono Cus, Misraim, e Put, e Canaan.

7 E i figliuoli di Cus furono Seba, ed Havila, e Sabta, e Rama, e Sabteca; ed i figliuoli di Rama furono Seba e Dedan.

8 E Cus generò Nimrod. Esso cominciò ad esser possente sulla terra.

9 Egli fu un potente cacciatore nel cospetto del Signore; perciò si dice: Come Nimrod, potente cacciatore nel cospetto del Signore.

10 E il principio del suo regno fu Babilonia, ed Erec, ed Accad, e Calne, nel paese di Sinear.

11 Di quel paese uscì Assur, ed edificò Ninive, e la città di Rehobot, a Cala;

12 e, fra Ninive e Cala, Resen, la gran città.

13 E Misraim generò Ludim, ed Anamim, e Lehabim, e Naftuhim,

14 e Patrusim, e Casluhim onde sono usciti i Filistei, e Caftorim.

15 E Canaan generò Sidon suo primogenito, ed Het;

16 e il Gebuseo, e l’Amorreo, e il Ghirgaseo;

17 e l’Hivveo, e l’Archeo, e il Sineo;

18 e l’Arvadeo, e il Semareo, e l’Hamateo. E poi le famiglie de’ Cananei si sparsero.

19 Ed i confini de’ Cananei furono da Sidon, traendo verso Gherar, fino a Gaza; e traendo verso Sodoma, e Gomorra, ed Adma, e Seboim, fino a Lesa.

20 Questi sono i figliuoli di Cam, secondo le lor famiglie e lingue, ne’ lor paesi e nazioni.

21 A Sem ancora, padre di tutti i figliuoli di Eber, e fratel maggiore di Iafet, nacquero figliuoli.

22 I figliuoli di Sem furono Elam, ed Assur, ed Arfacsad, e Lud, ed Aram.

23 E i figliuoli di Aram furono Us, Hul, Gheter, e Mas.

24 Ed Arfacsad generò Sela, e Sela generò Eber.

25 E ad Eber nacquero due figliuoli, il nome dell’uno fu Peleg, perciocchè al suo tempo la terra fu divisa; e il nome dell’altro suo fratello fu Ioctan.

26 E Ioctan generò Almodad, e Selef, ed Asarmavet, e Iera;

27 e Hadoram, ed Huzal, e Dicla;

28 ed Obal, ed Abimael, e Seba;

29 ed Ofir, ed Havila, e Iobab. Tutti costoro furono figliuoli di Ioctan.

30 E le loro abitazioni furono da Mesa, traendo verso Sefar, fino al monte Orientale.

31 Costoro furono i figliuoli di Sem, secondo le lor famiglie e lingue, ne’ lor paesi, per le lor nazioni.

32 Queste son le famiglie de’ figliuoli di Noè secondo le loro generazioni, nelle lor nazioni; e da costoro sono discese le genti divise per la terra, dopo il diluvio.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Genesis 10

Study

   

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.
