وَهَذِهِ هِيَ شَجَرَةُ عائِلَةِ أبْناءِ نُوحَ، سامَ وَحامَ وَيافَثَ. وَقَدْ وُلِدَ لَهُمْ أبْناءٌ بَعْدَ الطُّوفانِ. نسلُ يافَث

2 T he sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

أبْناءُ يافَثَ هُمْ جُومَرُ وَماجُوجُ وَمادايُ وَياوانُ وَتُوبالُ وَماشِكُ وَتِيراسُ.

5 F rom these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.

وَمِنْ بَنِي يافَثَ هَؤُلاءِ انْتَشَرَتِ الشُّعُوبُ عَلَى طُولِ سَواحِلِ البَحْرِ، وَكَوَّنَتْ بُلْداناً لَها لُغاتُها، حَسَبَ عَشائِرِها وَشُعُوبِها. نسلُ حام

وَأبْناءُ كُوشَ هُمْ سَبا وَحَوِيلَةُ وَسَبْتا وَرَعْما وَسَبَتْكا. وَابْنا رَعْمَةَ هُما شَبا وَدَدانُ.

8 C ush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.

وَأنجَبَ كُوشُ نِمْرُودَ. وَكانَ نِمْرُودُ أوَّلَ مُحارِبٍ جَبَّارٍ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

9 H e was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”

وَكانَ صَيّاداً جَبّاراً فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ. وَلِهَذا يُضْرَبُ فِيهِ المَثَلُ فَيُقالُ: «هَذا كَنِمْرُودَ، صَيّادٌ جَبّارٌ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ.»

10 A nd the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

بَدَأ نِمْرُودُ مَملَكَتَهُ فِي بابِلَ وَأرَكَ وَأكَّدَ وَكَلْنَةَ فِي أرْضِ شِنْعارَ.

11 F rom that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

وَمِنْ تِلْكَ الأرْضِ دَخَلَ إلَى أشُّورَ. وَهُناكَ بَنَى نِينَوَى، وَرَحُوبُوتَ عِيرَ، وَكالَحَ،

وَبَنِي فَتْرُوسَ وَبَنِي كَسلُوحَ، الَّذِينَ خَرَجَ مِنْهُمُ الفِلِسْطِيُّونَ، وَبَنِي كَفْتُورَ.

15 C anaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth;

وَأنجَبَ كَنْعانُ ابْنَهُ البِكْرَ صِيدُونَ. وَهُوَ أبُو الحِثِّيِّينَ

19 A nd the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

وَامتَدَّتْ أرْضُ الكَنْعانِيِّينَ مِنْ صَيدُونَ، فِي اتِّجاهِ جَرارَ، حَتَّى غَزَّةَ، فِي اتِّجاهِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَأدْمَةَ وَصَبُويِيمَ حَتَّى لاشَعَ.

20 T hese were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.

كانَتْ هَذِهِ العَشائِرُ مِنْ نَسلِ حامَ. وَكانَتْ لَها لُغاتُها وَأراضِيها وَشُعُوبُها. نسلُ سام

21 A nd children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.

سامُ هُوَ الأخُ الأكْبَرُ لِيافَثَ. وَقَدْ أنْجَبَ سامُ أيضاً، وَمِنْ نَسلِهِ جاءَ عابِرُ أبو جَمِيعِ العِبْرانيينَ.

وَوُلِدَ لِعابِرَ ابْنانِ: كانَ اسْمُ أوَّلِهِما فالَجُ لأنَّ الأرْضَ قُسِمَتْ فِي أيّامِهِ. وَكانَ لِفالَجَ أخٌ اسْمُهُ يَقْطانُ.

30 A nd their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

وَسَكَنُوا فِي الرِّيفِ الشَّرْقِيِّ الجَبَلِيِّ، مِنْ مِيشا فِي اتِّجاهِ سَفارَ.

32 T hese were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.

هَذِهِ هِيَ أنْسابُ عَشائِرِ بَنِي نُوحَ بِحَسَبِ الأُمَمِ الّتِي كَوَّنُوها. وَمِنْ هَذِهِ العَشائِرِ انتَشَرَ البَشَرُ فِي الأرْضِ بَعْدَ الطُّوفانِ.
