セム、ハム、ヤペテの子孫

10 ノアの三人の息子セム、ハム、ヤペテの家系は次のとおりです。以下は、洪水のあと三人に生まれた子どもたちです。

ヤペテの子孫はゴメル、マゴグ、マダイ、ヤワン、トバル、メシェク、ティラス。

ゴメルの子孫はアシュケナズ、リファテ、トガルマ。

ヤワンの子孫はエリシャ、タルシシュ、キティム、ドダニム。

この人たちの子孫は各地に散らばり、海に沿ってそれぞれの言語を持つ国々をつくりました。

ハムの子孫はクシュ、ミツライム、プテ、カナン。

クシュの子孫はセバ、ハビラ、サブタ、ラマ、サブテカ。

ラマの子孫はシェバ、デダン。

クシュの子孫の一人に、ニムロデという人がいました。地上で最初の王になった人です。 彼は神に祝福された力ある狩猟家で、その名が知れ渡っていました。「神に祝福された力ある狩猟家ニムロデのような人」という称賛のことばもあったほどです。 10 彼は帝国をシヌアルの地に建て、バベル、エレク、アカデ、カルネなどを中心に栄えました。 11-12 領土はやがてアッシリヤまで広がりました。ニネベ、レホボテ・イル、ケラフ、ニネベとケラフの間にあるレセンなどは、みな彼が建てた大きな町です。特にレセンは、王国の中でも重要な町でした。

13-14 ミツライムは、次の地域に住みついた人たちの先祖となりました。ルデ、アナミム、レハビム、ナフトヒム、パテロス、ペリシテ人が出たカスルヒム、カフトル。

15-19 カナンの長男はシドンで、ヘテも彼の子です。カナンの子孫から次の氏族が分かれ出ました。エブス人、エモリ人、ギルガシ人、ヒビ人、アルキ人、シニ人、アルワデ人、ツェマリ人、ハマテ人。カナンの子孫はやがて、シドンからガザ地区のゲラルに至る一帯に進出し、さらにソドム、ゴモラ、アデマ、ツェボイム、そしてレシャの近くまで広がりました。

20 以上がハムの子孫で、たくさんの国や地方に散らばり、多くの国語を話すようになりました。

21 ヤペテの兄セムはエベルのすべての子孫の父祖となりました。 22 セムの子孫は次のとおりです。エラム、アシュル、アルパクシャデ、ルデ、アラム。

23 アラムの子孫はウツ、フル、ゲテル、マシュ。

24 アルパクシャデの息子はシェラフで、シェラフの息子がエベルです。

25 エベルには二人の息子が生まれました。ペレグ〔「分裂」の意〕とヨクタンです。ペレグという名の由来は、彼の時代に世界が分裂し、人々が散らされたからです。

26-30 ヨクタンの子孫はアルモダデ、シェレフ、ハツァルマベテ、エラフ、ハドラム、ウザル、ディクラ、オバル、アビマエル、シェバ、オフィル、ハビラ、ヨバブ。ヨクタンの子孫はみな、メシャからセファルに至る東部の丘陵地帯に住みつきました。

31 以上がセムの子孫です。それぞれを政治区分、国語、地理的な位置などによって分けると、このようになります。

32 これらの人々はみなノアの子孫の家系で、洪水のあと何世代にもわたって、彼らからいろいろな国が興ってきたのです。

The Table of Nations

10 This is the account(A) of Shem, Ham and Japheth,(B) Noah’s sons,(C) who themselves had sons after the flood.

The Japhethites(D)

The sons[a] of Japheth:

Gomer,(E) Magog,(F) Madai, Javan,(G) Tubal,(H) Meshek(I) and Tiras.

The sons of Gomer:

Ashkenaz,(J) Riphath and Togarmah.(K)

The sons of Javan:

Elishah,(L) Tarshish,(M) the Kittites(N) and the Rodanites.[b] (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)(O)

The Hamites(P)

The sons of Ham:

Cush,(Q) Egypt, Put(R) and Canaan.(S)

The sons of Cush:

Seba,(T) Havilah,(U) Sabtah, Raamah(V) and Sabteka.

The sons of Raamah:

Sheba(W) and Dedan.(X)

Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod,(Y) who became a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty(Z) hunter(AA) before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon,(AB) Uruk,(AC) Akkad and Kalneh,(AD) in[d] Shinar.[e](AE) 11 From that land he went to Assyria,(AF) where he built Nineveh,(AG) Rehoboth Ir,[f] Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.

13 Egypt was the father of

the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14 Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines(AH) came) and Caphtorites.(AI)

15 Canaan(AJ) was the father of

Sidon(AK) his firstborn,[g](AL) and of the Hittites,(AM) 16 Jebusites,(AN) Amorites,(AO) Girgashites,(AP) 17 Hivites,(AQ) Arkites, Sinites, 18 Arvadites,(AR) Zemarites and Hamathites.(AS)

Later the Canaanite(AT) clans scattered 19 and the borders of Canaan(AU) reached from Sidon(AV) toward Gerar(AW) as far as Gaza,(AX) and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim,(AY) as far as Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

The Semites(AZ)

21 Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was[h] Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.(BA)

22 The sons of Shem:

Elam,(BB) Ashur,(BC) Arphaxad,(BD) Lud and Aram.(BE)

23 The sons of Aram:

Uz,(BF) Hul, Gether and Meshek.[i]

24 Arphaxad was the father of[j] Shelah,

and Shelah the father of Eber.(BG)

25 Two sons were born to Eber:

One was named Peleg,[k] because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.

26 Joktan was the father of

Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal,(BH) Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,(BI) 29 Ophir,(BJ) Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

30 The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.

31 These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons,(BK) according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth(BL) after the flood.

10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

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 first born, 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.
