Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, with all with which the ground teems, and all the fishes of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.
And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea are delivered into your hand.
3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. As the green herb, I have given you all.
And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:
4 But flesh with the life of it, which is the blood of it, ye shall not eat.
Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
5 And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, I will require. At the hand of every beast I will require it. And at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man.
For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man.
6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. For in the image of God he made man.
Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply. Bring forth abundantly on the earth, and multiply on it.
But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it.
8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, nor shall there be a flood any more to destroy the earth.
I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth.
12 And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
13 I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me, and between the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud.
And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:
15 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.
And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 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.
And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.
17 And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noah, who went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was spread over.
These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
20 And Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent.
And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father’s nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.
23 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 did not see their father's nakedness.
But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan. He shall be a servant of servants to his brothers.
He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant.
And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.
27 God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant.
May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.
28 And Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years:
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
