< Genesis 10 >

1 Now, these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and there were born to them sons after the flood.
挪亞的兒子閃、含、雅弗的後代記在下面。洪水以後,他們都生了兒子。
2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Javan and Tubal, —and Meshech, and Tiras.

5 From these, were dispersed [the inhabitants] of the coastlands of the nations, in their lands, each man by his tongue, by their families in their nations.

古實的兒子是西巴、哈腓拉、撒弗他、拉瑪、撒弗提迦。拉瑪的兒子是示巴、底但。
8 And, Cush begat Nimrod.—he, became a hero in the earth;
古實又生寧錄,他為世上英雄之首。
9 he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.
他在耶和華面前是個英勇的獵戶,所以俗語說:「像寧錄在耶和華面前是個英勇的獵戶。」
10 So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
他國的起頭是巴別、以力、亞甲、甲尼,都在示拿地。
11 From that land, went forth Asshur, —and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:
他從那地出來往亞述去,建造尼尼微、利河伯、迦拉,
12 and Resen, between Niveveh and Calah, —the same is the great city.

17 and the Hivite and the Arkite, and the Sinite:

18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite, —and after-wards, were spread abroad the families of the Canaanite.
亞瓦底人、洗瑪利人、哈馬人,後來迦南的諸族分散了。
19 And it came to pass that the boundary of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou enterest in towards Gerar unto Gaza, —as thou enterest in towards Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim, as far as Lasha.
迦南的境界是從西頓向基拉耳的路上,直到迦薩,又向所多瑪、蛾摩拉、押瑪、洗扁的路上,直到拉沙。

希伯生了兩個兒子,一個名叫法勒,因為那時人就分地居住;法勒的兄弟名叫約坍。
26 Now, Joktan, begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah;
約坍生亞摩答、沙列、哈薩瑪非、耶拉、
27 and Hadoram and Uzal, and Diklah:
