اَلتَّكْوِينُ 10

١ 1 وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ بَنِي نُوحٍ: سَامٌ وَحَامٌ وَيَافَثُ. وَوُلِدَ لَهُمْ بَنُونَ بَعْدَ ٱلطُّوفَانِ.

Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah [Rest] and of Shem [Name], Ham [Hot, Intensity, Passion], and Japheth [Enlargement, Spreading wide]. Sons were born to them after the flood.

The sons of Japheth [Enlargement, Spreading wide] were: Gomer, Magog [From roof-top], Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

٥ 5 مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ تَفَرَّقَتْ جَزَائِرُ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَرَاضِيهِمْ، كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَلِسَانِهِ حَسَبَ قَبَائِلِهِمْ بِأُمَمِهِمْ.

Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

Cush became the father of Nimrod [Let us rebel]. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

٩ 9 ٱلَّذِي كَانَ جَبَّارَ صَيْدٍ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. لِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ: «كَنِمْرُودَ جَبَّارُ صَيْدٍ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ».

He was a mighty hunter before Adonai. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod [Let us rebel], a mighty hunter before Adonai”.

١٠ 10 وَكَانَ ٱبْتِدَاءُ مَمْلَكَتِهِ بَابِلَ وَأَرَكَ وَأَكَّدَ وَكَلْنَةَ، فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ.

The beginning of his kingdom was Babel [Confusion], Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

١١ 11 مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَرَجَ أَشُّورُ وَبَنَى نِينَوَى وَرَحُوبُوتَ عَيْرَ وَكَالَحَ

١٩ 19 وَكَانَتْ تُخُومُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّ مِنْ صَيْدُونَ، حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ نَحْوَ جَرَارَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ، وَحِينَمَا تَجِيءُ نَحْوَ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَأَدْمَةَ وَصَبُويِيمَ إِلَى لَاشَعَ.

The border of the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] was from Sidon— as you go toward Gerar— to Gaza— as you go toward Sodom [Burning], Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], Admah, and Zeboiim— to Lasha.

٢٠ 20 هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو حَامٍ حَسَبَ قَبَائِلِهِمْ كَأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ بِأَرَاضِيهِمْ وَأُمَمِهِمْ.
