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 And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth [on] the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
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 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
Alt, hvad der rører sig og lever, skal tjene eder til Føde; ligesom de grønne Urter giver jeg eder det alt sammen.
4 Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
Dog Kød med Sjælen, det er Blodet, må I ikke spise!
5 And indeed your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each [the blood] of his brother, will I require the life of 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 Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
Om nogen udøser Menneskers Blod, ved Mennesker skal hans Blod udøses, thi i sit Billede gjorde Gud Menneskene.
7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
Men I skal blive frugtbare og mangfoldige! Opfyld Jorden og gør eder til Herre over den!"
8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Derpå sagde Gud til Noa og hans Sønner:
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
"Se, jeg opretter min Pagt med eder og eders Efterkommere efter eder
10 and with every living soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark — every animal of the earth.
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, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no 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 that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:
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 set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for 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 And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
Når jeg trækker Skyer sammen over Jorden, og Buen da viser sig i Skyerne,
15 and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.
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 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 soul of all flesh that is upon 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 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.
Og Gud sagde til Noa: "Det er Tegnet på den Pagt, jeg opretter imellem mig og alt Kød på Jorden!"
18 And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is 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 are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.
det var Noas tre Sønner, og fra dem stammer hele Jordens Befolkning.
20 And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
Noa var Agerdyrker og den første, der plantede en Vingård.
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in 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 the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.
Da så Kana'ans Fader Kam sin Faders Blusel og gik ud og fortalte sine Brødre det;
23 And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not 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 And Noah awoke from his wine, 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 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.
sagde han: "Forbandet være Kana'an, Trælles Træl blive han for sine Brødre!"
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
Fremdeles sagde han: "Lovet være HERREN, Sems Gud, og Kana'an blive hans Træl!
27 Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
Gud skaffe Jafet Plads, at han må bo i Sems Telte; og Kana'an blive hans Træl!"
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Noa levede 350 År efter Vandfloden;
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
således blev Noas fulde Levetid 950 År, og derpå døde han.
