Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.
And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
2 And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your power.
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 And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.
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 blood of life ye shall not eat.
only flesh in its life — its blood — ye do not eat.
5 For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of [his] brother 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 He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man.
whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.
7 But do ye increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'
8 And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying,
And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying,
9 And 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 with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark.
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 and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all 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 the Lord God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which 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 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 be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my 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 between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out 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 my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between [every] living soul in all flesh, which 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 Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which 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 Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan.
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 are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread.
20 And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house.
and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.
22 And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without.
And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without.
23 And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face [was] backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father.
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 Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger 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 the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren.
and saith: 'Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'
26 And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant.
And he saith: 'Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27 May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant.
God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'
28 And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;
29 And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.
