Genesis 10
1 (This is/I will now give) a list of the descendants of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They had many children after the flood.
OR queste [sono] le generazioni dei figliuoli di Noè: Sem, Cam e Iafet; e ad essi nacquero figliuoli dopo il diluvio.
2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
I figliuoli di Iafet [furono] Gomer, e Magog, e Madai, e Iavan, e Tubal, e Mesec, e Tiras.
3 The sons of Gomer were Askenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
E i figliuoli di Gomer [furono] Aschenaz, e Rifat, e Togarma.
4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
E i figliuoli di Iavan [furono] Elisa e Tarsis, Chittim e Dodanim.
5 Those sons and their families who were descended from Javan lived on the islands and on the land close to the [Mediterranean] Sea. Their descendants became tribes, each with its own language and clans and territory.
Da costoro, per le lor famiglie, nelle lor nazioni, è venuto lo spartimento dell'Isole delle genti, nei loro paesi, secondo la lingua di ciascun di essi.
6 The descendants of Ham were Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.
E i figliuoli di Cam [furono] Cus, Misraim, e Put, e Canaan.
7 The descendants of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
E i figliuoli di Cus [furono] Seba, ed Havila, e Sabta, e Rama, e Sabteca; ed i figliuoli di Rama [furono] Seba e Dedan.
8 Another one of Cush’s descendants was Nimrod. Nimrod was the first person on earth who became a mighty warrior.
E Cus generò Nimrod. Esso cominciò ad esser possente sulla terra.
9 Yahweh saw that he had become (OR, caused him to become) a great hunter. That is why people say to a great hunter, “Yahweh (sees that you are/has caused you to be) a great hunter like Nimrod.”
Egli fu un potente cacciatore nel cospetto del Signore; perciò si dice: Come Nimrod, potente cacciatore nel cospetto del Signore.
10 Nimrod became a king who ruled in Babylonia. The first cities over which he ruled were Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh.
E il principio del suo regno fu Babilonia, ed Erec, ed Accad, e Calne, nel paese di Sinear.
11 From there he went [with others] to Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
Di quel paese uscì Assur, ed edificò Ninive, e la città di Rehobot, a Cala;
12 and Resen. Resen was a large city between Nineveh and Calah.
e, fra Ninive e Cala, Resen, la gran città.
13 Ham’s son, Egypt, became the ancestor of the Lud, Anam, Lehab and Naphtuh,
E Misraim generò Ludim, ed Anamim, e Lehabim, e Naftuhim,
14 Pathrus, Casluh and Caphtor people-groups. The Philistine people were descended from Casluh.
e Patrusim, e Casluhim (onde sono usciti i Filistei), e Caftorim.
15 Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, became the father of Sidon, who was his eldest son, and Heth, his younger son.
E Canaan generò Sidon suo primogenito, ed Het;
16 Canaan was also the ancestor of the Jebus, Amor, Girgash,
e il Gebuseo, e l'Amorreo, e il Ghirgaseo;
17 Hiv, Ark, Sin,
e l'Hivveo, e l'Archeo, e il Sineo;
18 Arved, Zemar and Hamath people-groups. Later the descendants of Canaan dispersed over a large area.
e l'Arvadeo, e il Semareo, e l'Hamateo. E poi le famiglie de' Cananei si sparsero.
19 Their land extended from Sidon [city] in the north as far south as Gaza [town], and then to the east as far as Gerar [town], and then farther east to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim [towns], and even as far as Lasha [town].
Ed i confini de' Cananei furono da Sidon, traendo verso Gherar, fino a Gaza; [e] traendo verso Sodoma, e Gomorra, ed Adma, e Seboim, fino a Lesa.
20 Those are the descendants of Ham. They became groups that had their own clans, their own languages, and their own land.
Questi [sono] i figliuoli di Cam, secondo le lor famiglie e lingue, ne' lor paesi e nazioni.
21 Shem, the older brother of Japheth, became the father of Eber, and the ancestor of all the descendants of Eber.
A Sem ancora, padre di tutti i figliuoli di Eber, e fratel maggiore di Iafet, nacquero [figliuoli].
22 The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
I figliuoli di Sem [furono] Elam, ed Assur, ed Arfacsad, e Lud, ed Aram.
23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
E i figliuoli di Aram [furono] Us, Hul, Gheter, e Mas.
24 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
Ed Arfacsad generò Sela, e Sela generò Eber.
25 Eber became the father of two sons. One of them was named Peleg, [which means ‘division’], because during the time he lived, people on [MTY] the earth became divided and scattered everywhere. Peleg’s younger brother was Joktan.
E ad Eber nacquero due figliuoli, il nome dell'uno [fu] Peleg, perciocchè al suo tempo la terra fu divisa; e il nome dell'[altro] suo fratello [fu] Ioctan.
26 Joktan became the ancestor of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
E Ioctan generò Almodad, e Selef, ed Asarmavet, e Iera;
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
e Hadoram, ed Huzal, e Dicla;
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
ed Obal, ed Abimael, e Seba;
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All those people were descended from Joktan.
ed Ofir, ed Havila, e Iobab. Tutti costoro [furono] figliuoli di Ioctan.
30 The areas in which they lived extended from Mesha westward to Sephar, which is in the (hill country/area that has a lot of hills).
E le loro abitazioni furono da Mesa, traendo verso Sefar, fino al monte Orientale.
31 They are descendants of Shem. They became groups that had their own clans, their own languages, and their own land.
Costoro [furono] i figliuoli di Sem, secondo le lor famiglie [e] lingue, ne' lor paesi, per le lor nazioni.
32 All those groups descended from the sons of Noah. Each group had its own (genealogy/record of people’s ancestors) and each became a separate ethnic group. Those ethnic groups formed after the flood and spread all around the earth.
Queste [son] le famiglie de' figliuoli di Noè secondo le loro generazioni, nelle lor nazioni; e da costoro sono [discese] le genti divise per la terra, dopo il diluvio.
