< Postanak 9 >

1 Tada Bog blagoslovi Nou i njegove sinove i reče im: “Plodite se i množite i zemlju napunite.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 Neka vas se boje i od vas strahuju sve životinje na zemlji, sve ptice u zraku, sve što se po zemlji kreće i sve ribe u moru: u vaše su ruke predane.
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Sve što se kreće i živi neka vam bude za hranu: sve vam dajem, kao što vam dadoh zeleno bilje.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 Samo ne smijete jesti mesa u kojem je još duša, to jest njegova krv.
But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 A za vašu krv, za vaš život, tražit ću obračun: tražit ću ga od svake životinje; i od čovjeka za njegova druga tražit ću obračun za ljudski život.
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.
6 Tko prolije krv čovjekovu, njegovu će krv čovjek proliti! Jer na sliku Božju stvoren je čovjek!
Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 A vi, plodite se, i množite i zemlju napunite, i podložite je sebi!”
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 Još reče Bog Noi i njegovim sinovima s njim:
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “A ja, evo, sklapam svoj Savez s vama i s vašim potomstvom poslije vas
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 i sa svim živim stvorovima što su s vama: s pticama, sa stokom, sa zvijerima - sa svime što je s vama izišlo iz korablje - sa svim živim stvorovima na zemlji.
And with every living creature that [is] with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 Držat ću se ja svog Saveza s vama te nikada više vode potopne neće uništiti živa bića niti će ikad više potop zemlju opustošiti.”
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 I reče Bog: “A ovo znamen je Saveza koji stavljam između sebe i vas i svih živih bića što su s vama, za naraštaje buduće:
And God said, This [is] the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that [is] with you, for perpetual generations:
13 Dugu svoju u oblak stavljam, da zalogom bude Savezu između mene i zemlje.
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 Kad oblake nad zemlju navučem i duga se u oblaku pokaže,
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 spomenut ću se Saveza svoga, Saveza između mene i vas i stvorenja svakoga živog: potopa više neće biti da uništi svako biće.
And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 U oblaku kad se pojavi duga, ja ću je vidjeti i vjekovnog ću se sjećati Saveza između Boga i svake žive duše, svakog tijela na zemlji.”
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth.
17 I reče Bog Noi: “To neka je znak Saveza koji sam postavio između sebe i svih živih bića što su na zemlji.”
And God said unto Noah, This [is] the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.
18 Sinovi Noini, koji su iz korablje izišli, bijahu: Šem, Ham i Jafet. Ham je praotac Kanaanaca.
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.
19 Ovo su trojica Noinih sinova i od njih se sav svijet razgranao.
These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 Noa, zemljoradnik, zasadio vinograd.
And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 Napio se vina i opio, pa se otkrio nasred šatora.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 Ham, praotac Kanaanaca, opazi oca gola pa to kaza dvojici svoje braće vani.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 Šem i Jafet uzmu ogrtač, obojica ga prebace sebi preko ramena pa njime, idući natraške, pokriju očevu golotinju. Lica im bijahu okrenuta na drugu stranu, tako te ne vidješe oca gola.
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24 Kad se Noa otrijeznio od vina i saznao što mu je učinio najmlađi sin, reče:
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 “Neka je proklet Kanaanac, braći svojoj najniži sluga nek' bude!”
And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 Onda nastavi: “Blagoslovljen Jahve, Šemov Bog, Kanaanac nek' mu je sluga!
And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 Nek Bog raširi Jafeta da prebiva pod šatorima Šemovim, Kanaanac nek' mu je sluga!”
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 Poslije Potopa Noa poživje trista pedeset godina.
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 U svemu poživje Noa devet stotina pedeset godina; potom umrije.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
