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.

2 The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

6 The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh". 10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and the great city Calah. 13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth, 16 the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, 17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. 19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.

21 Children were also born to Shem (the elder brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber. 22 The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber. 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. 26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 30 Their dwelling extended from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east. 31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families, according to their languages, lands, and nations.

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.

1 Na ko nga whakatupuranga enei o nga tama a Noa, o Hema, o Hama, o Iapeta: i whanau hoki he tama ma ratou i muri i te waipuke.

2 Ko nga tama a Iapeta; ko Komere, ko Makoka, ko Marai, ko Iawana, ko Tupara, ko Meheke, ko Tiraha.

3 A ko nga tama a Komere; ko Ahekenata, ko Ripata, ko Tokarama.

4 A ko nga tama a Iawana; ko Erihaha, ko Tarahihi, ko Kitimi, ko Totanimi.

5 Na enei nga motu o nga tauiwi i wehe puta noa i o ratou whenua, tena iwi i tona reo; tera toronga, tera toronga o ratou, i o ratou iwi hoki.

6 A ko nga tama a Hama; ko Kuhu, ko Mitiraima, ko Putu, ko Kanaana.

7 Ko nga tama a Kuhu; ko Tepa, ko Hawira, ko Hapata, ko Raama, ko Hapateka: a ko nga tama a Raama; ko Hepa, ko Rerana.

8 A whanau ake ta Kuhu ko Nimirota; i timata ia hei tangata nui ki runga ki te whenua.

9 He maia ia i te aroaro o Ihowa ki te wahi kirehe mohoao: no reira te kupu nei, He pera me Nimirota te maia i te aroaro o Ihowa ki te whai kirehe mohoao.

10 A i Papera te timatanga o tona kingitanga, i Ereke, i Akara, i Karane, i te whenua o Hinara.

11 I haere atu ia i taua whenua ki Ahiria, a hanga ana e ia a Ninewe, me te pa, me Rehopoto, me Kara,

12 Me Rehena hoki, i waenganui o Ninewe, o Kara: he pa nui ia.

13 A whanau ake a Mitiraima, ko nga Rurimi, ko nga Anamime, ko nga Rehapimi, ko nga Napatuhimi,

14 Ko nga Pataruhimi, ko nga Kaheruhimi, i puta mai hoki i ena nga Pirihitini, a ko nga Kapatorimi.

15 A whanau ake ta Kanaana ko Hairona, ko tana matamua, raua ko Hete,

16 Me te Iepuhi, me te Amori, me te Kirikahi,

17 Me te Hiwi, me te Araki, me te Hini,

18 Me te Aarawari, me te Temari, me te Hamati: a muri iho ka marara noa atu nga hapu o nga Kanaani.

19 I Hairona hoki te rohe ki nga Kanaani, kei tou haerenga atu ki Kerara, ki Kaha; kei tou haerenga ki Horoma, ki Komora, ki Arema, ki Tepoimi, a tae noa ki Raha.

20 Ko nga tama enei a Hama, tera toronga, tera toronga o ratou, tera reo, tera reo o ratou, me o ratou whenua, me o ratou iwi.

21 Me Hema ano hoki, me te papa o nga tamariki katoa a Epere, te tuakana o Iapeta, i whanau ano hoki he tamariki mana.

22 Ko nga tama a Hema; ko Erama, ko Ahura, ko Arapahata, ko Ruru, ko Arame.

23 A ko nga tamariki a Arame; ko Uhu, ko Huru, ko Ketera, ko Maha.

24 Na Arahapata ko Haraha, ta Haraha ko Epere.

25 Tokorua nga tama a Epere: ko Pereke te ingoa o tetahi: no tona ra hoki i wehea ai te whenua; a ko Ioketana te ingoa o tona teina.

26 A whanau ake a Ioketana ko Aramotata, ko Herepe, ko Hataramaweta, ko Ieraha,

27 Ko Hatorama, ko Utara, ko Tikera,

28 Ko Opara, ko Apimaera, ko Hepa,

29 Ko Opira, ko Hawira, ko Iopapa: he tama katoa enei na Ioketana.

30 Kei Meha hoki to ratou nohoanga, a tae noa koe ki Hepara; he maunga ia kei te rawhiti.

31 Ko nga tama enei a Hema, tona hapu, tona hapu, tona reo, tona reo, o ratou kainga, me o ratou iwi.

32 Ko nga toronga enei o nga tama a Noa, i o ratou whakatupuranga, me o ratou iwi: a i wehea mai i enei nga iwi o te whenua i muri iho i te waipuke.
