Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons. And he said to them: “Increase, 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 let the fear and trembling of you be upon all the animals of the earth, and upon all the birds of the air, along with all that moves across the earth. All the fish of the sea have been 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 And everything that moves and lives will be food for you. Just as with the edible plants, I have delivered them all to you,
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
4 except that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
only flesh in its life — its blood — ye do not eat.
5 For I will examine the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast. So also, at the hand of mankind, at the hand of each man and his brother, I will examine the life of mankind.
'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 will shed human blood, his blood will be poured out. For man was indeed made to the image of God.
whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.
7 But as for you: increase and multiply, and go forth upon the earth and fulfill it.”
And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'
8 To Noah and to his sons with him, God also said this:
And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying,
9 “Behold, I will establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
'And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10 and with every living soul that is with you: as much with the birds as with the cattle and all the animals of the earth that have gone forth from the ark, and with all the wild beasts 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 I will establish my covenant with you, and no longer will all that is flesh be put to death by the waters of a great flood, and, henceforth, there will not be a great flood to utterly 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 pact that I grant between me and you, and to every living soul 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 will place my arc in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the pact between myself 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 when I obscure the sky with clouds, my arc will appear in the clouds.
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 with you, and with every living soul that enlivens flesh. And there will no longer be waters from a great flood to wipe away all that is 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 arc will be in the clouds, and I will see it, and I will remember the everlasting covenant that was enacted between God and every living soul of all that is flesh 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 will be the sign of the covenant that I have established between myself and all that is flesh 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 so the sons of Noah, who came out of the ark, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now Ham himself 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 are the sons of Noah. And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread.
20 And Noah, a good farmer, began to cultivate the land, and he planted a vineyard.
And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,
21 And by drinking its wine, he became inebriated and was naked in his tent.
and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.
22 Because of this, when Ham, the father of Canaan, had indeed seen the privates of his father to be naked, he reported it to his two brothers outside.
And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without.
23 And truly, Shem and Japheth put a cloak upon their arms, and, advancing backwards, covered the privates of their father. And their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s manhood.
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 Then Noah, awaking from the wine, when he had learned what 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 he said, “Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants will he be to his brothers.”
and saith: 'Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'
26 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, let Canaan be his servant.
And he saith: 'Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27 May God enlarge Japheth, and may he live 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 after the great flood, Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years.
And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;
29 And all his days were completed in nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.
and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.
