Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
2 Amadodana kaJafethi: UGomeri loMagogi loMadayi loJavani loThubhali loMesheki loTirasi.

8 UKushi wasezala uNimrodi; yena waqala ukuba liqhawe emhlabeni.
And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.
9 Yena waba ngumzingeli olamandla phambi kweNkosi; ngakho kuthiwa: NjengoNimrodi, umzingeli olamandla phambi kweNkosi.
He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.
10 Lokuqala kombuso wakhe yiBabeli leEreki leAkadi leKaline elizweni leShinari.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar.

And Chanaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and the Chettite,
16 lomJebusi lomAmori lomGirigashi
and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
17 lomHivi lomArki lomSini

And the boundaries of the Chananites were from Sidon till one comes to Gerara and Gaza, till one comes to Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, as far as Dasa.

There [were] the sons of Cham in their tribes according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

25 Kwasekuzalelwa uEberi amadodana amabili, ibizo lomunye nguPelegi, ngoba ensukwini zayo umhlaba wehlukaniswa; lebizo lomfowabo nguJokithani.
And to Heber were born two sons, the name of the one, Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother Jektan.

32 Lolu lusendo lwamadodana kaNowa ngezizukulwana zawo ezizweni zawo; kwasekusehlukaniswa kulaba izizwe emhlabeni emva kukazamcolo.
These are the tribes of the sons of Noe, according to their generations, according to their nations: of them were the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.
