Genesi 10

1Questa è la posterità dei figliuoli di Noè: Sem, Cam e Jafet; e a loro nacquero de’ figliuoli, dopo il diluvio. 2I figliuoli di Jafet furono Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Mescec e Tiras. 3I figliuoli di Gomer: Ashkenaz, Rifat e Togarma. 4I figliuoli di Javan: Elisha, Tarsis, Kittim e Dodanim. 5Da essi vennero i popoli sparsi nelle isole delle nazioni, nei loro diversi paesi, ciascuno secondo la propria lingua, secondo le loro famiglie, nelle loro nazioni. 6I figliuoli di Cam furono Cush, Mitsraim, Put e Canaan. 7I figliuoli di Cush: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raama e Sabteca; e i figliuoli di Raama: Sceba e Dedan. 8E Cush generò Nimrod, che cominciò a esser potente sulla terra. 9Egli fu un potente cacciatore nei cospetto dell’Eterno; perciò si dice: "Come Nimrod, potente cacciatore nel cospetto dell’Eterno". 10E il principio del suo regno fu Babel, Erec, Accad e Calne nel paese di Scinear. 11Da quel paese andò in Assiria ed edificò Ninive, Rehoboth-Ir e Calah; 12e, fra Ninive e Calah, Resen, la gran città. 13Mitsraim generò i Ludim, gli Anamim, i Lehabim, i Naftuhim, 14i Pathrusim, i Casluhim (donde uscirono i Filistei) e i Caftorim. 15Canaan generò Sidon, suo primogenito, e Heth, 16e i Gebusei, gli Amorei, i Ghirgasei, 17gli Hivvei, gli Archei, i Sinei, 18gli Arvadei, i Tsemarei e gli Hamattei. Poi le famiglie dei Cananei si sparsero. 19E i confini dei Cananei andarono da Sidon, in direzione di Gherar, fino a Gaza; e in direzione di Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma e Tseboim, fino a Lesha. 20Questi sono i figliuoli di Cam, secondo le loro famiglie, secondo le loro lingue, nei loro paesi, nelle loro nazioni. 21Anche a Sem, padre di tutti i figliuoli di Eber e fratello maggiore di Jafet, nacquero de’ figliuoli. 22I figliuoli di Sem furono Elam, Assur, Arpacshad, Lud e Aram. 23I figliuoli di Aram: Uz, Hul, Gheter e Mash. 24E Arpacshad generò Scelah, e Scelah generò Eber. 25E ad Eber nacquero due figliuoli; il nome dell’uno fu Peleg, perché ai suoi giorni la terra fu spartita; e il nome del suo fratello fu Jokthan. 26E Jokthan generò Almodad, Scelef, Hatsarmaveth, 27Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, 28Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sceba, 29Ofir, Havila e Jobab. Tutti questi furono figliuoli di Jokthan. 30E la loro dimora fu la montagna orientale, da Mesha, fin verso Sefar. 31Questi sono i figliuoli di Sem, secondo le loro famiglie, secondo le loro lingue, nei loro paesi, secondo le loro nazioni. 32Queste sono le famiglie dei figliuoli di Noè secondo le loro generazioni, nelle loro nazioni; e da essi uscirono le nazioni che si sparsero per la terra dopo il diluvio.

1Now 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. 2The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations. 6The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 7The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan. 8Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh”. 10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah. 13Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim. 15Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, 16the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. 19The 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. 20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations. 21Children were also born to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth. 22The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. 25To 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. 26Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 30Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations. 32These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood.

1Dit nu zijn de geboorten van Noachs zonen: Sem, Cham, en Jafeth; en hun werden zonen geboren na den vloed. 2De zonen van Jafeth zijn: Gomer, en Magog, en Madai, en Javan, en Tubal, en Mesech, en Thiras. 3En de zonen van Gomer zijn: Askenaz, en Rifath, en Togarma. 4En de zonen van Javan zijn: Elisa, en Tarsis; de Chittieten en Dodanieten. 5Van dezen zijn verdeeld de eilanden der volken in hun landschappen, elk naar zijn spraak, naar hun huisgezinnen, onder hun volken. 6En de zonen van Cham zijn: Cusch en Mitsraim, en Put, en Kanaan. 7En de zonen van Cusch zijn: Seba en Havila, en Sabta, en Raema, en Sabtecha. En de zonen van Raema zijn: Scheba en Dedan. 8En Cusch gewon Nimrod; deze begon geweldig te zijn op de aarde. 9Hij was een geweldig jager voor het aangezicht des HEEREN; daarom wordt gezegd: Gelijk Nimrod, een geweldig jager voor het aangezicht des HEEREN. 10En het beginsel zijns rijks was Babel, en Erech, en Accad, en Calne in het land Sinear. 11Uit ditzelve land is Assur uitgegaan, en heeft gebouwd Nineve, en Rehoboth, Ir, en Kalach. 12En Resen, tussen Nineve en tussen Kalach; deze is die grote stad. 13En Mitsraim gewon de Ludieten, en de Anamieten, en de Lehabieten, en de Naftuchieten, 14En de Pathrusieten, en de Casluchieten, van waar de Filistijnen uitgekomen zijn, en de Caftorieten. 15En Kanaan gewon Sidon, zijn eerstgeborene, en Heth, 16En de Jesubiet, en de Amoriet, en de Girgasiet, 17En de Hivviet, en de Arkiet, en de Siniet, 18En de Arvadiet, en de Tsemariet, en de Hamathiet; en daarna zijn de huisgezinnen der Kanaanieten verspreid. 19En de landpale der Kanaanieten was van Sidon, daar gij gaat naar Gerar tot Gaza toe; daar gij gaat naar Sodom en Gomorra, en Adama, en Zoboim, tot Lasa toe. 20Deze zijn zonen van Cham, naar hun huisgezinnen, naar hun spraken, in hun landschappen, in hun volken. 21Voorts zijn Sem zonen geboren; dezelve is ook de vader aller zonen van Heber, broeder van Jafeth, den grootste. 22Sems zonen waren Elam, en Assur, en Arfachsad, en Lud, en Aram. 23En Arams zonen waren Uz, en Hul, en Gether, en Maz. 24En Arfachsad gewon Selah, en Selah gewon Heber. 25En Heber werden twee zonen geboren; des enen naam was Peleg; want in zijn dagen is de aarde verdeeld; en zijns broeders naam was Joktan. 26En Joktan gewon Almodad, en selef, en Hatsarmaveth, en Jarach, 27En Hadoram, en Usal, en Dikla, 28En Obal, en Abimael, en Scheba, 29En Ofir, en Havila, en Jobab; deze allen waren zonen van Joktan. 30En hun woning was van Mescha af, daar gij gaat naar Sefar, het gebergte van het oosten. 31Deze zijn zonen van Sem, naar hun huisgezinnen, naar hun spraken, in hun landschappen, naar hun volken. 32Deze zijn de huisgezinnen der zonen van Noach, naar hun geboorten, in hun volken; en van dezen zijn de volken op de aarde verdeeld na den vloed.
