閃、含、雅弗的後代

1挪亞的兒子閃、含、雅弗的後代記在下面。洪水以後，他們都生了兒子。

2雅弗的兒子是歌篾、瑪各、瑪代、雅完、土巴、米設、提拉。

3歌篾的兒子是亞實基拿、利法、陀迦瑪。

4雅完的兒子是以利沙、他施、基提、多單。

5這些人的後裔將各國的地土、海島分開居住，各隨各的方言、宗族立國。

6含的兒子是古實、麥西、弗、迦南。

7古實的兒子是西巴、哈腓拉、撒弗他、拉瑪、撒弗提迦。拉瑪的兒子是示巴、底但。

8古實又生寧錄，他為世上英雄之首。

9他在耶和華面前是個英勇的獵戶，所以俗語說：「像寧錄在耶和華面前是個英勇的獵戶。」

10他國的起頭是巴別、以力、亞甲、甲尼，都在示拿地。

11他從那地出來往亞述去，建造尼尼微、利河伯、迦拉，

12和尼尼微、迦拉中間的利鮮，這就是那大城。

13麥西生路低人、亞拿米人、利哈比人、拿弗土希人、

14帕斯魯細人、迦斯路希人、迦斐託人；從迦斐託出來的有非利士人。

15迦南生長子西頓，又生赫

16和耶布斯人、亞摩利人、革迦撒人、

17希未人、亞基人、西尼人、

18亞瓦底人、洗瑪利人、哈馬人，後來迦南的諸族分散了。

19迦南的境界是從西頓向基拉耳的路上，直到迦薩，又向所多瑪、蛾摩拉、押瑪、洗扁的路上，直到拉沙。

20這就是含的後裔，各隨他們的宗族、方言，所住的地土、邦國。

21雅弗的哥哥閃，是希伯子孫之祖，他也生了兒子。

22閃的兒子是以攔、亞述、亞法撒、路德、亞蘭。

23亞蘭的兒子是烏斯、戶勒、基帖、瑪施。

24亞法撒生沙拉；沙拉生希伯。

25希伯生了兩個兒子，一個名叫法勒，因為那時人就分地居住；法勒的兄弟名叫約坍。

26約坍生亞摩答、沙列、哈薩瑪非、耶拉、

27哈多蘭、烏薩、德拉、

28俄巴路、亞比瑪利、示巴、

29阿斐、哈腓拉、約巴，這都是約坍的兒子。

30他們所住的地方是從米沙直到西發東邊的山。

31這就是閃的子孫，各隨他們的宗族、方言，所住的地土、邦國。

32這些都是挪亞三個兒子的宗族，各隨他們的支派立國。洪水以後，他們在地上分為邦國。

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 the LORD. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD”.

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 elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.

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.
