Genesis 10

1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

١ هَذَا سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ سَامٍ وَحَامٍ وَيَافَثَ أَبْنَاءِ نُوحٍ، وَمَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ الطُّوفَانِ.

2 The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

٢ أَبْنَاءُ يَافَثَ: جُومَرُ وَمَاجُوجُ وَمَادَايُ وَيَاوَانُ وَتُوبَالُ وَمَاشَكُ وَتِيرَاسُ.

3 The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

٣ وَأَبْنَاءُ جُومَرَ: أَشْكَنَازُ وَرِيفَاثُ وَتُوجَرْمَةُ.

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

٤ وَأَبْنَاءُ يَاوَانَ: أَلِيشَةُ وَتَرْشِيشُ وَكِتِّيمُ وَدُودَانِيمُ.

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

٥ وَتَفَرَّعَ مِنْ هَؤُلاءِ سُكَّانُ الْجَزَائِرِ وَتَفَرَّقُوا فِي مَنَاطِقِهِمْ حَسَبَ قَبَائِلِهِمْ وَأُمَمِهِمْ، وَلُغَاتِهِمْ.

6 The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

٦ وَأَبْنَاءُ حَامٍ: كُوشٌ وَمِصْرَايِمُ وَفُوطُ وَكَنْعَانُ.

7 The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan.

٧ وَأَبْنَاءُ كُوشٍ: سَبَا، وَحَوِيلَةُ، وَسَبْتَةُ وَرَعْمَةُ وَسَبْتَكَا. وَأَبْنَاءُ رَعْمَةَ: سَبَا وَدَدَانُ.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

٨ وَأَنْجَبَ كُوْشُ نِمْرُودَ الَّذِي مَا لَبِثَ أَنْ أَصْبَحَ عَاتِياً فِي الأَرْضِ.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD”.

٩ كَانَ صَيَّاداً عَاتِياً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ: «كَنِمْرُودَ جَبَّارُّ صَيْدٍ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ».

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

١٠ وَقَدْ تَكَوَّنَتْ مَمْلَكَتُهُ أَوَّلَ الأَمْرِ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَأَرَكَ وَأَكَّدَ وَكَلْنَةَ فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ.

11 Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

١١ وَمِنْ تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ خَرَجَ أَشُّورُ وَبَنَى مُدُنَ نِينَوَى وَرَحُبُوتَ عَيْرَ وَكَالَحَ،

12 and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah.

١٢ وَرَسَنَ الْوَاقِعَةَ بَيْنَ نِينَوَى وَكَالَحَ. وَهِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ الْكَبِيرَةُ.

13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

١٣ وَمِنْ مِصْرَايِمَ تَحَدَّرَتْ هَذِهِ الْقَبَائِلُ: اللُّودِيُّونَ وَالْعَنَامِيُّونَ، وَاللهَابِيُّونَ وَالنَّفْتُوحِيُّونَ

14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

١٤ وَالْفَتْرُوسِيُّونَ وَالْكَسْلُوحِيُّونَ. وَمِنْهُمْ تَحَدَّرَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ وَالْكَفْتُورِيُّونَ.

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

١٥ وَأَنْجَبَ كَنْعَانُ صِيدُونَ ابْنَهُ الْبِكْرَ ثُمَّ حِثًّا،

16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

١٦ وَمِنْهُ تَحَدَّرَتْ قَبَائِلُ الْيَبُوسِيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ،

17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,

١٧ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْعَرْقِيِّينَ وَالسِّينِيِّينَ،

18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

١٨ وَالأَرْوَادِيِّينَ وَالصَّمَارِيِّينَ وَالْحَمَاتِيِّينَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ انْتَشَرَتِ الْقَبَائِلُ الْكَنْعَانِيَّةُ

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go towards Gerar—to Gaza—as you go towards Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha.

١٩ فِي الأَرَاضِي الْوَاقِعَةِ بَيْنَ صِيدُونَ وَغَزَّةَ مُرُوراً بِجَرَارَ، وَبَيْنَ صِيدُونَ وَلاشَعَ مُرُوراً بِسَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَأَدْمَةَ وَصَبُويِيمَ.

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

٢٠ كَانَ هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُنْحَدِرُونَ مِنْ حَامٍ بِحَسَبِ قَبَائِلِهِمْ وَلُغَاتِهِمْ وَبُلْدَانِهِمْ وَشُعُوبِهِمْ.

21 Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber.

٢١ وَأَنْجَبَ سَامٌ، أَخُو يَافَثَ الأَكْبَرُ، أَبْنَاءً. وَمِنْهُ تَحَدَّرَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي عَابِرَ.

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

٢٢ أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ سَامٍ فَهُمْ: عِيلامُ وَأَشُّورُ وَأَرْفَكْشَادُ وَلُودُ وَأَرَامُ

23 The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

٢٣ وَأَبْنَاءُ أَرَامَ: عُوصُ، وَحُولُ، وَجَاثَرُ وَمَاشُ.

24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

٢٤ وَأَنْجَبَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ شَالَحَ، وَوَلَدَ شَالَحُ عَابِرَ.

25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan.

٢٥ وَوُلِدَ لِعَابِرَ ابْنَانِ: اسْمُ أَحَدِهِمَا فَالَجُ (وَمَعْنَاهُ انْقِسَامٌ) لأَنَّ أَهْلَ الأَرْضِ انْقَسَمُوا فِي أَيَّامِهِ. وَاسْمُ أَخِيهِ يَقْطَانُ.

26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

٢٦ وَأَنْجَبَ يَقْطَانُ أَلْمُودَادَ وَشَالَفَ وَحَضَرْمَوْتَ وَيَارَحَ،

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

٢٧ وَهَدُورَامَ وَأُوزَالَ وَدِقْلَةَ،

28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

٢٨ وَعُوبَالَ وَأَبِيمَايِلَ وَشَبَا،

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

٢٩ وَأُوفِيرَ وَحَوِيلَةَ وَيُوبَابَ. وَهَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعُهُمْ أَبْنَاءُ يَقْطَانَ.

30 Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go towards Sephar, the mountain of the east.

٣٠ وَقَدِ اسْتَوْطَنُوا فِي الأَرَاضِي الْوَاقِعَةِ بَيْنَ مِيشَا وَالتِّلالِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ مِنْ جَبَلِ سَفَارَ.

31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.

٣١ هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُنْحَدِرُونَ مِنْ سَامٍ حَسَبَ قَبَائِلِهِمْ وَلُغَاتِهِمْ وَبُلْدَانِهِمْ وَشُعُوبِهِمْ.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, according to their nations. The nations divided from these in the earth after the flood.

٣٢ هَذِهِ هِيَ الْقَبَائِلُ الْمُنْحَدِرَةُ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ نُوحٍ حَسَبَ شُعُوبِهِمْ، وَمِنْهُمُ انْتَشَرَتِ الأُمَمُ فِي الأَرْضِ بَعْدَ الطُّوفَانِ.
