Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, 'Be fruitful, 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 your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea — into your hand they have been given.
3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. As the green herb, I have given you all.
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
4 But flesh with the life of it, which is the blood of it, ye shall not eat.
only flesh in its life — its blood — ye do 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.
'And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother 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.
whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply. Bring forth abundantly on the earth, and multiply on it.
And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'
8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
'And I, lo, I am establishing 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 creature which [is] with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the ark — to every beast 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.
And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not any more a deluge to destroy 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 saith, 'This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to generations age-during;
13 I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and 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 it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud,
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 have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters become no more a deluge 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 hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it — to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on 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 saith unto Noah, 'This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] 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 Noah who are going out of the ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was spread over.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread.
20 And Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent.
and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth 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.
And Shem taketh — Japheth also — the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father's nakedness they have not seen.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan. He shall be a servant of servants to his brothers.
and saith: 'Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant.
And he saith: 'Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27 God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem. And let Canaan be his servant.
God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'
28 And Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.
And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.
