NEW JERUSALEMDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 These are the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, to whom sons were born afterthe flood:1 These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.
2 Japheth's sons: Gomer, Magog, the Medes, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, Tiras.2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.
3 Gomer's sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, Togarmah.3 And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.
4 Javan's sons: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim, the Dananites.4 And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim, and Dodanim.
5 From these came the dispersal to the islands of the nations. These were Japheth's sons, in theirrespective countries, each with its own language, by clan and nation.5 By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.
6 Ham's sons: Cush, Mizraim, Put, Canaan.6 And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.
7 Cush's sons: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, Sabteca. Raamah's sons: Sheba, Dedan.7 And the sons of Chus: Saba and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.
8 Cush fathered Nimrod who was the first potentate on earth.8 Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter in the eyes of Yahweh, hence the saying, 'Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter in theeyes of Yahweh'.9 And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.
10 The mainstays of his empire were Babel, Erech and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.
11 From this country came Asshur, and he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,11 Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (this being the capital).12 Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.
13 Mizraim fathered the people of Lud, of Anam, Lehab, Naphtuh,13 And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,
14 Pathros, Casluh and Caphtor, from which the Philistines came.14 And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.
15 Canaan fathered Sidon, his first-born, then Heth,15 And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,
16 and the Jebusites, the Amorites, Girgashites,16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,
17 Hivites, Arkites, Sinites,17 The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,
18 Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. Later, the Canaanite clans spread out.18 And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
19 The Canaanite frontier stretched from Sidon al the way to Gerar near Gaza, and al the way toSodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboi m near Lesha.19 And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.
20 These were Ham's sons, by clans and languages, by countries and nations.20 These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
21 Shem too fathered sons, being ancestor of all the sons of Eber and Japheth's elder brother.21 Of Sem also, the father of all children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.
22 Shem's sons: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, Aram.22 The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 Aram's sons: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash.23 The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether: and Mess.
24 Arpachshad fathered Shelah, and Shelah fathered Eber.24 But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.
25 To Eber were born two sons: the first was cal ed Peleg, because it was in his time that the earth wasdivided, and his brother was called Joktan.25 And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name Jectan.
26 Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,26 Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,27 And Anduram, and Uzal, and Decla,
28 Obal, Abima-El, Sheba,28 And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,
29 Ophir, Havilah, Jobab; al these were sons of Joktan.29 And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab.
30 They occupied a stretch of country from Mesha all the way to Sephar, the eastern mountain range.30 And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.
31 These were Shem's sons, by clans and languages, by countries and nations.31 These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.
32 Such were the clans of Noah's descendants, listed by descent and nation. From them, other nationsbranched out on earth after the flood.32 These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.
