6 υἱοὶ δὲ Χαμ Χους καὶ Μεσραιμ Φουδ καὶ Χανααν 7 υἱοὶ δὲ Χους Σαβα καὶ Ευιλα καὶ Σαβαθα καὶ Ρεγμα καὶ Σαβακαθα υἱοὶ δὲ Ρεγμα Σαβα καὶ Δαδαν 8 Χους δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Νεβρωδ οὗτος ἤρξατο εἶναι γίγας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς 9 οὗτος ἦν γίγας κυνηγὸς ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ τοῦτο ἐροῦσιν ὡς Νεβρωδ γίγας κυνηγὸς ἐναντίον κυρίου 10 καὶ ἐγένετο ἀρχὴ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ Βαβυλὼν καὶ Ορεχ καὶ Αρχαδ καὶ Χαλαννη ἐν τῇ γῇ Σεννααρ 11 ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης ἐξῆλθεν Ασσουρ καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Νινευη καὶ τὴν Ροωβωθ πόλιν καὶ τὴν Χαλαχ 12 καὶ τὴν Δασεμ ἀνὰ μέσον Νινευη καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Χαλαχ αὕτη ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη 13 καὶ Μεσραιμ ἐγέννησεν τοὺς Λουδιιμ καὶ τοὺς Ενεμετιιμ καὶ τοὺς Λαβιιμ καὶ τοὺς Νεφθαλιιμ 14 καὶ τοὺς Πατροσωνιιμ καὶ τοὺς Χασλωνιιμ ὅθεν ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν Φυλιστιιμ καὶ τοὺς Καφθοριιμ 15 Χανααν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σιδῶνα πρωτότοκον καὶ τὸν Χετταῖον 16 καὶ τὸν Ιεβουσαῖον καὶ τὸν Αμορραῖον καὶ τὸν Γεργεσαῖον 17 καὶ τὸν Ευαῖον καὶ τὸν Αρουκαῖον καὶ τὸν Ασενναῖον 18 καὶ τὸν Ἀράδιον καὶ τὸν Σαμαραῖον καὶ τὸν Αμαθι καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο διεσπάρησαν αἱ φυλαὶ τῶν Χαναναίων 19 καὶ ἐγένοντο τὰ ὅρια τῶν Χαναναίων ἀπὸ Σιδῶνος ἕως ἐλθεῖν εἰς Γεραρα καὶ Γάζαν ἕως ἐλθεῖν Σοδομων καὶ Γομορρας Αδαμα καὶ Σεβωιμ ἕως Λασα 20 οὗτοι υἱοὶ Χαμ ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς αὐτῶν κατὰ γλώσσας αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς χώραις αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν αὐτῶν

6 These were Cham’s sons; Chus, Mesraim, Phuth and Chanaan. 7 And these were the sons of Chus; Saba, Hevila, Sabatha, Regma and Sabatacha. And these were Regma’s sons, Saba and Dadan. 8 Chus was also the father of Nemrod, who was the first great warrior; 9 bold, too, by God’s grace,[1] at the hunt, whence the proverb arose, By God’s grace, a huntsman bold as Nemrod. 10 His empire began with Babylon, Arach, Achad and Chalanne, in the country of Sennaar. 11 It was from that country Assur went out to build Nineve and its suburbs,[2] and Chale; 12 and between Nineve and Chale he built the great city of Resen. 13 Mesraim was the father of the Ludim, the Anamim, the Laabim, and the Nephthuim; 14 the Phetrusim, too, and the Chasluim (from whom the Philistines sprang) and the Caphtorim. 15 Chanaan was the father of Sidon; this was his first-born son. From him, too, come Hethites, 16 Jebusites, Amorrhites, Gergesites, 17 Hevites, Aracites, Sinites, 18 Aradians, Samarites and Amathites; so, in later times, the Chanaanite peoples spread this way and that. 19 That Chanaanite territory, beginning at Sidon, reached as far as Gaza on the road to Gerara, and as far as Lesa on the road to Sodom, Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim. 20 These were the descendants of Cham; such were the tribes, the tongues, the branches, the countries, the peoples that came from him.

6 Filii autem Cham: Chus, et Mesraim, et Phuth, et Chanaan. 7 Filii Chus: Saba, et Hevila, et Sabatha, et Regma, et Sabatacha. Filii Regma: Saba et Dadan. 8 Porro Chus genuit Nemrod: ipse cœpit esse potens in terra, 9 et erat robustus venator coram Domino. Ob hoc exivit proverbium: Quasi Nemrod robustus venator coram Domino. 10 Fuit autem principium regni ejus Babylon, et Arach et Achad, et Chalanne, in terra Sennaar. 11 De terra illa egressus est Assur, et ædificavit Niniven, et plateas civitatis, et Chale. 12 Resen quoque inter Niniven et Chale: hæc est civitas magna. 13 At vero Mesraim genuit Ludim, et Anamim et Laabim, Nephthuim, 14 et Phetrusim, et Chasluim: de quibus egressi sunt Philisthiim et Caphtorim. 15 Chanaan autem genuit Sidonem primogenitum suum. Hethæum, 16 et Jebusæum, et Amorrhæum, Gergesæum, 17 Hevæum, et Aracæum: Sinæum, 18 et Aradium, Samaræum, et Amathæum: et post hæc disseminati sunt populi Chananæorum. 19 Factique sunt termini Chanaan venientibus a Sidone Geraram usque Gazam, donec ingrediaris Sodomam et Gomorrham, et Adamam, et Seboim usque Lesa. 20 Hi sunt filii Cham in cognationibus, et linguis, et generationibus, terrisque et gentibus suis.

21 καὶ τῷ Σημ ἐγενήθη καὶ αὐτῷ πατρὶ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν Εβερ ἀδελφῷ Ιαφεθ τοῦ μείζονος 22 υἱοὶ Σημ Αιλαμ καὶ Ασσουρ καὶ Αρφαξαδ καὶ Λουδ καὶ Αραμ καὶ Καιναν 23 καὶ υἱοὶ Αραμ Ως καὶ Ουλ καὶ Γαθερ καὶ Μοσοχ 24 καὶ Αρφαξαδ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Καιναν καὶ Καιναν ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαλα Σαλα δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Εβερ 25 καὶ τῷ Εβερ ἐγενήθησαν δύο υἱοί ὄνομα τῷ ἑνὶ Φαλεκ ὅτι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ διεμερίσθη ἡ γῆ καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ Ιεκταν 26 Ιεκταν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ελμωδαδ καὶ τὸν Σαλεφ καὶ Ασαρμωθ καὶ Ιαραχ 27 καὶ Οδορρα καὶ Αιζηλ καὶ Δεκλα 28 καὶ Αβιμεηλ καὶ Σαβευ 29 καὶ Ουφιρ καὶ Ευιλα καὶ Ιωβαβ πάντες οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ιεκταν 30 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ κατοίκησις αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Μασση ἕως ἐλθεῖν εἰς Σωφηρα ὄρος ἀνατολῶν 31 οὗτοι υἱοὶ Σημ ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς αὐτῶν κατὰ γλώσσας αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς χώραις αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν αὐτῶν

21 Sem, too, Japheth’s elder brother, had children; he is father of all who claim descent from Heber. 22 His sons were called Aelam, Assur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. 23 These were Aram’s sons, Us, Hul, Gether and Mes. 24 Arphaxad was the father of Sale, and Sale of Heber. 25 Heber had two sons; one was called Phaleg, Division, because in his time the territory was divided up, and his brother’s name was Jectan. 26 This Jectan was the father of Elmodad, Saleph, Asarmoth, Jare, 27 Aduram, Uzal, Decla, 28 Ebal, Abimael, Saba, 29 Ophir, Hevila and Jobab. All these were Jectan’s sons, 30 and their territory reached from Messa to mount Sephar in the east. 31 These were the sons of Sem; such were their tribes and tongues and countries and peoples.

21 De Sem quoque nati sunt, patre omnium filiorum Heber, fratre Japheth majore. 22 Filii Sem: Ælam, et Assur, et Arphaxad, et Lud, et Aram. 23 Filii Aram: Us, et Hul, et Gether, et Mes. 24 At vero Arphaxad genuit Sale, de quo ortus est Heber. 25 Natique sunt Heber filii duo: nomen uni Phaleg, eo quod in diebus ejus divisa sit terra: et nomen fratris ejus Jectan. 26 Qui Jectan genuit Elmodad, et Saleph, et Asarmoth, Jare, 27 et Aduram, et Uzal, et Decla, 28 et Ebal, et Abimaël, Saba, 29 et Ophir, et Hevila, et Jobab: omnes isti, filii Jectan. 30 Et facta est habitatio eorum de Messa pergentibus usque Sephar montem orientalem. 31 Isti filii Sem secundum cognationes, et linguas, et regiones in gentibus suis.

[1] ‘By God’s grace’; literally, ‘in the presence of God’, a phrase whose exact meaning is doubtful.

[2] ‘Assur went out’; some would understand this as meaning ‘he (Nemrod) went out to Assur’. ‘Its suburbs’; literally, ‘the broad places of the city’; according to some it should be a proper name, Rehoboth-Ir.
