1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 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, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 And Joktan begat 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 dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

1 En dit is die stamboom van die seuns van Noag: Sem, Gam en Jafet -- vir hulle is daar seuns gebore n die vloed.

2 Die seuns van Jafet was: Gomer en Magog en Madai en Jawan en Tubal en Meseg en Tiras.

3 En die seuns van Gomer was: Askenas en Rifat en Tog rma.

4 En die seuns van Jawan was: El¡sa en Tarsis, die Kittiërs en Dodaniete --

5 uit hulle het verdeeld geraak die kuslande van die nasies, in hulle lande, elkeen na sy taal, volgens hulle geslagte, in hulle nasies.

6 En die seuns van Gam was: Kus en Misraim en Put en Kana„n.

7 En die seuns van Kus was: Seba en H wila en Sabta en Ra,ma en S btega. En die seuns van Ra,ma: Skeba en Dedan.

8 Kus was ook die vader van Nimrod. Hy het begin om 'n geweldenaar op aarde te wees.

9 Hy was 'n geweldige jagter voor die aangesig van die HERE. Daarom sê hulle: Soos Nimrod, 'n geweldige jagter voor die aangesig van die HERE.

10 En die begin van sy ryk was Babel en Ereg en Akkad en Kalne in die land S¡near.

11 Uit hierdie land het hy getrek na Assur en gebou: Ninev, en R,hobot-Ir en Kalag

12 en Resen, tussen Ninev, en Kalag -- dit is die groot stad.

13 En Misraim was die vader van die Ludiete en Anamiete en Lehabiete en Naftuhiete

14 en die Patrusiete en Kasluhiete -- waaruit die Filistyne voortgekom het -- en Kaftoriete.

15 En Kana„n was die vader van Sidon, sy eersgeborene, en Het

16 en die Jebusiete en Amoriete en Girgasiete

17 en die Hewiete en Arkiete en Siniete

18 en die Arwadiete en Semariete en Hamatiete. En daarna het die geslagte van die Kana„niete hulle versprei.

19 En die gebied van die Kana„niete was van Sidon af in die rigting van Gerar tot by Gasa, in die rigting van Sodom en Gomorra en Adma en Seboim tot by Lesa.

20 Dit was die seuns van Gam volgens hulle geslagte, na hulle tale, in hulle lande, in hulle nasies.

21 En ook vir Sem, die stamvader van al die seuns van Heber, die ouer broer van Jafet, is seuns gebore.

22 Die seuns van Sem was: Elam en Assur en Arpagsad en Lud en Aram.

23 En die seuns van Aram was: Us en Hul en Geter en Mas.

24 En Arpagsad was die vader van Selag, en Selag van Heber.

25 En vir Heber is twee seuns gebore; die naam van die een was Peleg, want in sy dae het die aardbewoners verdeeld geraak; en die naam van sy broer was Joktan.

26 En Joktan was die vader van Almodad en Selef en Hasarm wet en Jerag

27 en Hadoram en Usal en Dikla

28 en Obal en Ab¡mael en Skeba

29 en Ofir en H wila en Jobab. Hulle almal was seuns van Joktan.

30 En hulle woonplek was van Mesa af in die rigting van Sefar, die berg van die Ooste.

31 Dit is die seuns van Sem volgens hulle geslagte, na hulle tale, in hulle lande, volgens hulle nasies.

32 Dit is die geslagte van die seuns van Noag volgens hulle afstamming, in hulle nasies; en uit hulle het die nasies op die aarde hulle verdeel n die vloed.
