UTN uW Translation Notes:

מֵ֠⁠אֵלֶּה

from=these

This phrase probably refers to Japheth’s descendants (verses 2-4), especially since the descendants of his brothers Ham (verse 20) and Shem (verse 31) are summarized in a similar way.

נִפְרְד֞וּ אִיֵּ֤י הַ⁠גּוֹיִם֙

they_separated coastlands the=nations

Alternate translation: “came the people groups who lived in regions beside the Mediterranean Sea. They moved to different places and settled”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

בְּ⁠אַרְצֹתָ֔⁠ם

in=their=lands

Alternate translation: “in their own regions,”

אִ֖ישׁ לִ⁠לְשֹׁנ֑⁠וֹ

(a)_man to=his/its=language

Consider whether it is more natural in your language to break up this long sentence and start a new sentence here (or later in this verse). Alternate translation: “They all spoke their own languages,”

לְ⁠מִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖⁠ם

to=their=clans

The word “clan” refers to a group of families who are descended from a common ancestor. Alternate translation: “and each of them lived in their own extended families,” or “They each had their own family groups,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

בְּ⁠גוֹיֵ⁠הֶֽם

in=their=nations

The word nations refers here to people groups, not countries. Also, for some languages it may be clearer to change the order of the phrases in this verse and say, “Japheth’s descendants spread out and settled near/by the Mediterranean Sea. They all formed their own family groups, which grew/multiplied and became their own people groups that spoke their own languages and lived in their own territories/regions.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and they formed their own people groups.” or “which grew and became their own distinct ethnic groups.”
