1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: these are the sons which they had after the great flow of waters
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah and Tarshish, the Kittim and the Dodanim.
5 From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages.
6 And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush: Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
8 And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.
9 He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.
10 And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.
13 And Mizraim was the father of the Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim;
14 And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines.
15 And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, and Heth,
16 And the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite,
17 And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,
18 And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;
19 Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.
20 All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.
21 And Shem, the older brother of Japheth, the father of the children of Eber, had other sons in addition.
22 These are the sons of Shem: Elam and Asshur and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.
23 And the sons of Aram: Uz and Hul and Gether and Mash.
24 And Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.
25 And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 And Joktan was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah
27 And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah
28 And Obal and Abimael and Sheba
29 And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east.
31 These, with their families and their languages and their lands and their nations, are the offspring of Shem.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters.
1 Os descendentes de Noé são os seguintes: Sem, Cam e Jafete que lhe nasceram antes do dilúvio.
2 Os filhos de Jafete foram: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javã, Tubal, Meseque e Tiras.
3 Os filhos de Gomer: Asquenaz, Rifa e Togarma. E os filhos de Javã: Elisá, Tarsis, Quintim e Dodanim.
5 Os descendentes destes tornarm-se povos marítimos, conquistando terra além mar, fomando nações, cada uma com a sua língua diferente.
6 Os filhos de Cam foram: Cuche, Mizraim, Pute e Canaã.
7 Os filhos de Cuche: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Rama e Sabteca. E os filhos de Rama: Seba e Dedã.
8 Um dos descendentes de Cuche foi Nimrode que se tornou um dos senhores mais poderosos da terra. Era um grande caçador, e Deus abençoou-o de tal forma que o povo costumava dizer: Que Deus te faça um grande caçador, à maneira de Nimrode. O seu reino incluia grandes cidades como Abel, Ereque, Acade e Calné, na terra de Sinar. E daqui estendeu-se para a Assíria onde edificou Nínive, Reobote-Ir, Cala, Resen (entre Nínive e Cala), que era a maior cidade daquele império.
13 Mizraim foi pai dos ludim, anamim, leabim, naftuim, patrusim, casluim (de quem descendem os filisteus) e caftorim. Canaã teve Sidom, o seu filho mais velho, e depois Hete. Enfim, deste descendem todos estes povos: jebuseus, amorreus, girgaseus, heveus, arqueus, sineus, arvadeus, zemareus, hamateus, que se espalharam até Sidom e Gerar, chegando ao limite de Gaza. Foram mesmo a Sodoma e Gomorra e a Adma e Zeboim perto de Lasa.
20 Estes são os descendentes de Cam que se espalharam, formando povos e nações com as suas diferentes línguas.
21 Os filhos de Sem foram: Elão, Assur, Arfaxade, Lude e Arã. Este último foi pai de: Uz, Hul, Geter e Mas. E Arfaxade teve Sala e este Eber. A Eber nasceram-lhe dois filhos: Pelegue (porque foi durante a sua vida que os povos de todo o mundo começaram a separar-se e a dispersar-se) e Joctã, seu irmão. Este foi pai de Almoda, Selefe, Hazarmave, Jera, Hadorão, Uzal, Dicla, Obal, Abimael, Seba, Ofir, Havila e Jobabe. Todos estes descendentes de Joctã viveram entre Messa e Sefar, que é uma montanha do oriente.
31 Aqui estão os descendentes de Sem, segundo os povos e as nações que foram formando, com as suas línguas próprias e a localização geográfica respectiva.
32 É esta a relação dos descendentes de Noé, a partir dos quais se formaram as nações da terra, depois do dilúvio.
