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.
Tämä on kertomus Nooan poikien, Seemin, Haamin ja Jaafetin, suvusta. Heille syntyi poikia vedenpaisumuksen jälkeen.

Ja Jaavanin pojat olivat Elisa, Tarsis, kittiläiset ja doodanilaiset;

Ja Kuusille syntyi Nimrod. Hän oli ensimmäinen valtias maan päällä.
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.”
Hän oli mahtava metsämies Herran edessä. Siitä on sananparsi: "Mahtava metsämies Herran edessä niinkuin Nimrod".
10 Nimrod became a king who ruled in Babylonia. The first cities over which he ruled were Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh.
Ja hänen valtakuntansa alkuna olivat Baabel, Erek, Akkad ja Kalne Sinearin maassa.
11 From there he went [with others] to Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
Siitä maasta hän lähti Assuriin ja rakensi Niiniven, Rehobot-Iirin ja Kelahin,

Ja Misraimille syntyivät luudilaiset, anamilaiset, lehabilaiset, naftuhilaiset,
14 Pathrus, Casluh and Caphtor people-groups. The Philistine people were descended from Casluh.
patrokselaiset, kasluhilaiset, joista filistealaiset ovat lähteneet, sekä kaftorilaiset.
15 Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, became the father of Sidon, who was his eldest son, and Heth, his younger son.
Ja Kanaanille syntyivät Siidon, hänen esikoisensa, ja Heet,

sekä jebusilaiset, amorilaiset, girgasilaiset,

arvadilaiset, semarilaiset ja hamatilaiset. Sittemmin hajaantuivat kanaanilaisten heimot.
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].
Ja kanaanilaisten alue ulottui Siidonista Gerariin päin aina Gassaan asti sekä Sodomaan, Gomorraan, Admaan ja Seboimiin päin aina Lesaan asti.
20 Those are the descendants of Ham. They became groups that had their own clans, their own languages, and their own land.
Nämä olivat Haamin pojat heimojensa, kieltensä, maittensa ja kansakuntiensa mukaan.
21 Shem, the older brother of Japheth, became the father of Eber, and the ancestor of all the descendants of Eber.

Seemin pojat olivat Eelam, Assur, Arpaksad, Luud ja Aram.
23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
Ja Aramin pojat olivat Uus, Huul, Geter ja Mas.
24 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
Arpaksadille syntyi Selah, ja Selahille syntyi Eeber.
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.
Ja Eeberille syntyi kaksi poikaa: toisen nimi oli Peleg, sillä hänen aikanansa jakaantuivat maan asukkaat, ja hänen veljensä nimi oli Joktan.
26 Joktan became the ancestor of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

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).
Ja heidän asumasijansa ulottuivat Meesasta aina Sefariin, Itävuorelle asti.
31 They are descendants of Shem. They became groups that had their own clans, their own languages, and their own land.
Nämä olivat Seemin pojat heimojensa, kieltensä, maittensa ja kansakuntiensa mukaan.
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.
Nämä olivat Nooan poikien heimot sukukuntiensa ja kansakuntiensa mukaan; ja niistä haarautuivat kansat maan päälle vedenpaisumuksen jälkeen.
