10  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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

The Table of Nations

10 This is the account(A) of Shem, Ham and Japheth,(B) Noah’s sons,(C) who themselves had sons after the flood.

The Japhethites(D)

The sons[a] of Japheth:

Gomer,(E) Magog,(F) Madai, Javan,(G) Tubal,(H) Meshek(I) and Tiras.

The sons of Gomer:

Ashkenaz,(J) Riphath and Togarmah.(K)

The sons of Javan:

Elishah,(L) Tarshish,(M) the Kittites(N) and the Rodanites.[b] (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)(O)

The Hamites(P)

The sons of Ham:

Cush,(Q) Egypt, Put(R) and Canaan.(S)

The sons of Cush:

Seba,(T) Havilah,(U) Sabtah, Raamah(V) and Sabteka.

The sons of Raamah:

Sheba(W) and Dedan.(X)

Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod,(Y) who became a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty(Z) hunter(AA) before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon,(AB) Uruk,(AC) Akkad and Kalneh,(AD) in[d] Shinar.[e](AE) 11 From that land he went to Assyria,(AF) where he built Nineveh,(AG) Rehoboth Ir,[f] Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.

13 Egypt was the father of

the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14 Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines(AH) came) and Caphtorites.(AI)

15 Canaan(AJ) was the father of

Sidon(AK) his firstborn,[g](AL) and of the Hittites,(AM) 16 Jebusites,(AN) Amorites,(AO) Girgashites,(AP) 17 Hivites,(AQ) Arkites, Sinites, 18 Arvadites,(AR) Zemarites and Hamathites.(AS)

Later the Canaanite(AT) clans scattered 19 and the borders of Canaan(AU) reached from Sidon(AV) toward Gerar(AW) as far as Gaza,(AX) and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim,(AY) as far as Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

The Semites(AZ)

21 Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was[h] Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.(BA)

22 The sons of Shem:

Elam,(BB) Ashur,(BC) Arphaxad,(BD) Lud and Aram.(BE)

23 The sons of Aram:

Uz,(BF) Hul, Gether and Meshek.[i]

24 Arphaxad was the father of[j] Shelah,

and Shelah the father of Eber.(BG)

25 Two sons were born to Eber:

One was named Peleg,[k] because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.

26 Joktan was the father of

Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal,(BH) Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,(BI) 29 Ophir,(BJ) Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.

30 The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.

31 These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.

32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons,(BK) according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth(BL) after the flood.
