Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
Derpå velsignede Gud Noa og hans Sønner og sagde til dem: Bliv frugtbare og mangfoldige og opfyld Jorden!
2 The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.
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 Hånd er de givet!
3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.
Alt, hvad der rører sig og lever, skal tjene eder til Føde; ligesom de grønne Urter giver jeg eder det alt sammen.
4 But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.
Dog Kød med Sjælen, det er Blodet, må I ikke spise!
5 And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:
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.
6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.
Om nogen udøser Menneskers Blod, ved Mennesker skal hans Blod udøses, thi i sit Billede gjorde Gud Menneskene.
7 But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”
Men I skal blive frugtbare og mangfoldige! Opfyld Jorden og gør eder til Herre over den!"
8 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,
Derpå sagde Gud til Noa og hans Sønner:
9 “Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,
"Se, jeg opretter min Pagt med eder og eders Efterkommere efter eder
10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark.
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;
11 And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
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!"
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
Fremdeles sagde Gud: "Dette er Tegnet på den Pagt, jeg til evige Tider opretter mellem mig og eder og hvert levende Væsen, som er hos eder:
13 I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
Min Bue sætter jeg i Skyen, og den skal være Pagtstegn mellem mig og Jorden!
14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
Når jeg trækker Skyer sammen over Jorden, og Buen da viser sig i Skyerne,
15 I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
vil jeg komme den Pagt i Hu, som består 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.
16 And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.”
Når Buen da står i Skyerne, vil jeg se hen til den og ihukomme den evige Pagt mellem Gud og hvert levende Væsen, det er alt Kød på Jorden."
17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”
Og Gud sagde til Noa: "Det er Tegnet på den Pagt, jeg opretter imellem mig og alt Kød på Jorden!"
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.
Noas Sønner, der gik ud af Arken, var Sem, Kam og Jafet; Kam var Fader til Kana'an;
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
det var Noas tre Sønner, og fra dem stammer hele Jordens Befolkning.
20 Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
Noa var Agerdyrker og den første, der plantede en Vingård.
21 But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.
Da han nu drak af Vinen, blev han beruset og blottede sig inde i, sit Telt.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.
Da så Kana'ans Fader Kam sin Faders Blusel og gik ud og fortalte sine Brødre det;
23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
men Sem og Jafet tog Kappen, lagde den på deres Skuldre og gik baglæns ind og tildækkede deres Faders Blusel med bortvendte Ansigter, så de ikke så deres Faders Blusel.
24 When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,
Da Noa vågnede af sin Rus og fik at vide, hvad hans yngste Søn havde gjort ved ham,
25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
sagde han: "Forbandet være Kana'an, Trælles Træl blive han for sine Brødre!"
26 He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.
Fremdeles sagde han: "Lovet være HERREN, Sems Gud, og Kana'an blive hans Træl!
27 May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”
Gud skaffe Jafet Plads, at han må bo i Sems Telte; og Kana'an blive hans Træl!"
28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.
Noa levede 350 År efter Vandfloden;
29 So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
således blev Noas fulde Levetid 950 År, og derpå døde han.
