Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
And God blesses Noah and his sons, and says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
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.
and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea—into your hand they have been given.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
4 Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
only flesh in its life—its blood—you do not eat.
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.
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 Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
whoever sheds man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He made man.
7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
And you, 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 speaks to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
“And I, behold, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
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.
and with every living creature which [is] with you, among bird, among livestock, 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 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.
And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not cut off anymore by waters of a flood, and there is not a flood to destroy the earth anymore.”
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:
And God says, “This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to continuous generations;
13 I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;
14 And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
and it has come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow has been seen in the cloud,
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.
and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters no longer become a flood 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 soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.
and the bow has been in the cloud, and I have seen it—to remember the perpetual covenant 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 says to Noah, “This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] on the earth.”
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.
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 was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.
20 And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
And Noah remains a man of the ground, and plants a vineyard,
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent.
and drinks of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovers himself in the midst of the tent.
22 And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.
And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to his two brothers outside.
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.
And Shem takes—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 learned what his youngest son had done to him.
And Noah awakens from his wine, and knows that which his young son has done to him,
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.
and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27 Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
God gives beauty to Japheth, And he dwells in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.”
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
And Noah lives after the flood 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 dies.
