< 1 Mosebog 9 >
1 Derpaa velsignede Gud Noa og hans Sønner og sagde til dem: »Bliv frugtbare og mangfoldige og opfyld Jorden!
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 Frygt for eder og Rædsel for eder skal være over alle Jordens vildtlevende Dyr og alle Himmelens Fugle og i alt, hvad Jorden vrimler med, og i alle Havets Fisk; i eders Haand er de givet!
The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
3 Alt, hvad der rører sig og lever, skal tjene eder til Føde; ligesom de grønne Urter giver jeg eder det alt sammen.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
4 Dog Kød med Sjælen, det er Blodet, maa I ikke spise!
But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
5 Men for eders eget Blod kræver jeg Hævn; af ethvert Dyr kræver jeg Hævn for det, og af Menneskene indbyrdes kræver jeg Hævn for Menneskenes Liv.
I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
6 Om nogen udøser Menneskers Blod, ved Mennesker skal hans Blod udøses, thi i sit Billede gjorde Gud Menneskene.
Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
7 Men I skal blive frugtbare og mangfoldige! Opfyld Jorden og gør eder til Herre over den!«
Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 Derpaa sagde Gud til Noa og hans Sønner:
God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 »Se, jeg opretter min Pagt med eder og eders Efterkommere efter eder
“As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10 og med hvert levende Væsen, som er hos eder, Fuglene, Kvæget og alle Jordens vildtlevende Dyr, alt, hvad der gik ud af Arken, alle Jordens Dyr;
and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
11 jeg opretter min Pagt med eder og lover, at aldrig mere skal alt Kød udryddes af Flodens Vande, og aldrig mere skal der komme en Vandflod for at ødelægge Jorden!«
I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 Fremdeles sagde Gud: »Dette er Tegnet paa den Pagt, jeg til evige Tider opretter mellem mig og eder og hvert levende Væsen, som er hos eder:
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 Min Bue sætter jeg i Skyen, og den skal være Pagtstegn mellem mig og Jorden!
I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 Naar jeg trækker Skyer sammen over Jorden, og Buen da viser sig i Skyerne,
When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 vil jeg komme den Pagt i Hu, som bestaar mellem mig og eder og hvert levende Væsen, det er alt Kød, og Vandet skal ikke mere blive til en Vandflod, som ødelægger alt Kød.
I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Naar Buen da staar i Skyerne, vil jeg se hen til den og ihukomme den evige Pagt mellem Gud og hvert levende Væsen, det er alt Kød paa Jorden.«
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17 Og Gud sagde til Noa: »Det er Tegnet paa den Pagt, jeg opretter imellem mig og alt Kød paa Jorden!«
God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
18 Noas Sønner, der gik ud af Arken, var Sem, Kam og Jafet; Kam var Fader til Kana'an;
The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 det var Noas tre Sønner, og fra dem stammer hele Jordens Befolkning.
These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20 Noa var Agerdyrker og den første, der plantede en Vingaard.
Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
21 Da han nu drak af Vinen, blev han beruset og blottede sig inde i, sit Telt.
He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22 Da saa Kana'ans Fader Kam sin Faders Blusel og gik ud og fortalte sine Brødre det;
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23 men Sem og Jafet tog Kappen, lagde den paa deres Skuldre og gik baglæns ind og tildækkede deres Faders Blusel med bortvendte Ansigter, saa de ikke saa deres Faders Blusel.
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
24 Da Noa vaagnede af sin Rus og fik at vide, hvad hans yngste Søn havde gjort ved ham,
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 sagde han: »Forbandet være Kana'an, Trælles Træl blive han for sine Brødre!«
He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26 Fremdeles sagde han: »Lovet være HERREN, Sems Gud, og Kana'an blive hans Træl!
He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27 Gud skaffe Jafet Plads, at han maa bo i Sems Telte; og Kana'an blive hans Træl!«
May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
28 Noa levede 350 Aar efter Vandfloden;
Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.
29 saaledes blev Noas fulde Levetid 950 Aar, og derpaa døde han.
All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.
