The Descendants of Noah's Sons
(1 Chronicles 1.5-23)1 These are the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. These three had sons after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth—Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras—were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names. 3 The descendants of Gomer were the people of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The descendants of Javan were the people of Elishah, Spain, Cyprus, and Rhodes; 5 they were the ancestors of the people who live along the coast and on the islands. These are the descendants of Japheth, living in their different tribes and countries, each group speaking its own language.
6 The sons of Ham—Cush, Egypt, Libya, and Canaan—were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names. 7 The descendants of Cush were the people of Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah were the people of Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush had a son named Nimrod, who became the world's first great conqueror. 9 By the Lord's help he was a great hunter, and that is why people say, “May the Lord make you as great a hunter as Nimrod!” 10 At first his kingdom included Babylon, Erech, and Accad, all three of them in Babylonia. 11 From that land he went to Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.
13 The descendants of Egypt were the people of Lydia, Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh, 14 Pathrus, Casluh, and of Crete, from whom the Philistines are descended.
15 Canaan's sons—Sidon, the oldest, and Heth—were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names. 16 Canaan was also the ancestor of the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. The different tribes of the Canaanites spread out, 19 until the Canaanite borders reached from Sidon southward to Gerar near Gaza, and eastward to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim near Lasha. 20 These are the descendants of Ham, living in their different tribes and countries, each group speaking its own language.
21 Shem, the older brother of Japheth, was the ancestor of all the Hebrews. 22 Shem's sons—Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram—were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names. 23 The descendants of Aram were the people of Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshek. 24 Arpachshad was the father of Shelah, who was the father of Eber. 25 Eber had two sons: one was named Peleg, because during his time the people of the world were divided; and the other was named Joktan. 26 The descendants of Joktan were the people of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All of them were descended from Joktan. 30 The land in which they lived extended from Mesha to Sephar in the eastern hill country. 31 These are the descendants of Shem, living in their different tribes and countries, each group speaking its own language.
32 All these peoples are the descendants of Noah, nation by nation, according to their different lines of descent. After the flood all the nations of the earth were descended from the sons of Noah.
Potomkowie synów Noego
(I Kron. 1,5—23)1 A Oto dzieje rodu synów Noego: Sema, Chama i Jafeta, gdy po potopie urodzili się im synowie.
2 Synami Jafeta są: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Jawan, Tubal, Meszech i Tiras.
3 Synami Gomera są: Aszkanaz, Rifat i Togarma.
4 Synami Jawana są: Elisza, Tarszisz, Kittim i Dodanim.
5 Od nich wywodziły się narody wyspiarzy podzielone według swoich krajów i według swoich języków i plemion w narodach swoich.
6 Synami Chama są: Kusz, Misraim, Put i Kanaan.
7 Synami Kusza są: Seba, Chawila, Sabata, Raema i Sabtecha. Synami Raemy są: Szeba i Dedan.
8 A Kusz zrodził Nimroda, który był pierwszym mocarzem na ziemi.
9 Był on dzielnym myśliwym przed Panem. Dlatego mówi się: Dzielny myśliwy przed Panem jak Nimrod.
10 A zaczątkiem jego królestwa był Babilon, Erech, Akkad i Kalne w kraju Synear.
11 Z tego kraju wyruszył do Asyrii i zbudował Niniwę i Rechowot-Ir, i Kalach
12 Oraz Resen, wielkie miasto między Niniwą a Kalach.
13 A Misraim zrodził Ludytów, Anamitów, Lehabitów, Naftuchitów,
14 Patrusytów i Kasluchitów, od których pochodzą Filistyni, oraz Kaftorytów.
15 Kanaan zaś zrodził Sydona, swego pierworodnego, i Cheta,
16 Nadto Jebuzytów, Amorytów, Girgaszytów,
17 Chiwwitów, Arkitów, Synitów,
18 Arwadytów, Semarytów i Chamatytów. Potem rozproszyły się plemiona Kananejczyków.
19 Obszar Kananejczyków sięgał od Sydonu w kierunku Gerary do Gazy, w kierunku Sodomy i Gomory, Admy i Seboim aż do Leszy.
20 To są synowie Chama według ich plemion, języków, krajów i narodów.
21 Lecz także i Semowi, praojcu wszystkich synów Hebera, starszemu bratu Jafeta, urodzili się synowie.
22 Synami Sema są: Elam, Assur, Arpachszad, Lud i Aram.
23 Synami Arama są: Us, Chul, Geter i Masz.
24 Arpachszad zaś zrodził Szelacha, a Szelach zrodził Hebera.
25 A Heberowi urodzili się dwaj synowie: jeden miał na imię Peleg, gdyż za jego czasów podzielili się mieszkańcy ziemi, a imię brata jego było Joktan.
26 A Joktan zrodził Almodada, Szelefa, Chasarmaweta, Jeracha,
27 Hadorama, Uzala, Diklę,
28 Obala, Abimaela, Sabę,
29 Ofira, Chawilę i Jobaba; ci wszyscy byli synami Joktana.
30 A siedziba ich sięgała od Meszy do Sefar w górach wschodnich.
31 To są synowie Sema według ich plemion, języków, krajów i narodów.
32 To są plemiona synów Noego według rodów ich w narodach ich. Od nich to wywodziły się narody na ziemi po potopie,
