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.
Voici l'histoire des générations des fils de Noé, de Sem, de Cham et de Japhet. Des fils leur sont nés après le déluge.

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.

8 And, Cush begat Nimrod.—he, became a hero in the earth;

9 he, became a hero of hunting before Yahweh, for this cause, it is said. Like Nimrod, a hero of hunting before Yahweh.
Il fut un puissant chasseur devant Yahvé. C'est pourquoi on dit: « comme Nimrod, un puissant chasseur devant Yahvé ».
10 So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 From that land, went forth Asshur, —and he built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah:

12 and Resen, between Niveveh and Calah, —the same is the great city.

13 And, Mizraim, begat Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim, and Naphtuchim;

14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim whence came forth Philistim and Caphtorim.

15 And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth:

16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
les Jébusiens, les Amorites, les Girgashites,
17 and the Hivite and the Arkite, and the Sinite:
les Hivites, les Arkites, les Sinites,
18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite, —and after-wards, were spread abroad the families of the Canaanite.
les Arvadites, les Zemarites et les Hamathites. Par la suite, les familles des Cananéens se sont dispersées.
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.
La frontière des Cananéens s'étendait de Sidon, en allant vers Gerar, à Gaza, en allant vers Sodome, Gomorrhe, Adma et Zéboïm, à Lasha.
20 These, are the sons of Ham, by their families by their tongues, in their lands in their nations.

21 Now, to Shem, father of all the sons of Eber, elder brother of Japheth, to him also, were children born.

22 The sons of Shem, Elam and Asshur, —and Arpachshad and Lud and Aram.

25 And to Eber, were born two sons, —the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days, was the earth divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan.
A Eber naquirent deux fils. Le nom de l'un était Peleg, car en son temps la terre fut divisée. Le nom de son frère était Joktan.

31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families by their tongues, in their lands by their nations.
