Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
| וַיְבָרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים אֶת־נֹחַ וְאֶת־בָּנָיו וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם פְּרוּ וּרְבוּ וּמִלְאוּ אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
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.
| וּמוֹרַאֲכֶם וְחִתְּכֶם יִֽהְיֶה עַל כָּל־חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ וְעַל כָּל־עוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר תִּרְמֹשׂ הֽ͏ָאֲדָמָה וּֽבְכָל־דְּגֵי הַיָּם בְּיֶדְכֶם נִתָּֽנוּ׃ |
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
| כָּל־רֶמֶשׂ אֲשֶׁר הוּא־חַי לָכֶם יִהְיֶה לְאָכְלָה כְּיֶרֶק עֵשֶׂב נָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת־כֹּֽל׃ |
4 Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
| אַךְ־בָּשָׂר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ דָמוֹ לֹא תֹאכֵֽלוּ׃ |
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.
| וְאַךְ אֶת־דִּמְכֶם לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם אֶדְרֹשׁ מִיַּד כָּל־חַיָּה אֶדְרְשֶׁנּוּ וּמִיַּד הֽ͏ָאָדָם מִיַּד אִישׁ אָחִיו אֶדְרֹשׁ אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ הֽ͏ָאָדָֽם׃ |
6 Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
| שֹׁפֵךְ דַּם הֽ͏ָאָדָם בּֽ͏ָאָדָם דָּמוֹ יִשָּׁפֵךְ כִּי בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים עָשָׂה אֶת־הָאָדָֽם׃ |
7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
| וְאַתֶּם פְּרוּ וּרְבוּ שִׁרְצוּ בָאָרֶץ וּרְבוּ־בָֽהּ׃ |
8 And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־נֹחַ וְאֶל־בָּנָיו אִתּוֹ לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
| וַאֲנִי הִנְנִי מֵקִים אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶם וְאֶֽת־זַרְעֲכֶם אֽ͏ַחֲרֵיכֶֽם׃ |
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.
| וְאֵת כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ הֽ͏ַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר אִתְּכֶם בָּעוֹף בַּבְּהֵמָה וּֽבְכָל־חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ אִתְּכֶם מִכֹּל יֹצְאֵי הַתֵּבָה לְכֹל חַיַּת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
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.
| וַהֲקִמֹתִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶם וְלֹֽא־יִכָּרֵת כָּל־בָּשָׂר עוֹד מִמֵּי הַמַּבּוּל וְלֹֽא־יִהְיֶה עוֹד מַבּוּל לְשַׁחֵת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
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:
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים זֹאת אֽוֹת־הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נֹתֵן בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם וּבֵין כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה אֲשֶׁר אִתְּכֶם לְדֹרֹת עוֹלָֽם׃ |
13 I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
| אֶת־קַשְׁתִּי נָתַתִּי בֶּֽעָנָן וְהָֽיְתָה לְאוֹת בְּרִית בֵּינִי וּבֵין הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
14 And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
| וְהָיָה בְּעֽ͏ַנְנִי עָנָן עַל־הָאָרֶץ וְנִרְאֲתָה הַקֶּשֶׁת בֶּעָנָֽן׃ |
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.
| וְזָכַרְתִּי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אֲשֶׁר בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם וּבֵין כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה בְּכָל־בָּשָׂר וְלֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶה עוֹד הַמַּיִם לְמַבּוּל לְשַׁחֵת כָּל־בָּשָֽׂר׃ |
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.
| וְהָיְתָה הַקֶּשֶׁת בֶּֽעָנָן וּרְאִיתִיהָ לִזְכֹּר בְּרִית עוֹלָם בֵּין אֱלֹהִים וּבֵין כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה בְּכָל־בָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
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.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־נֹחַ זֹאת אֽוֹת־הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר הֲקִמֹתִי בֵּינִי וּבֵין כָּל־בָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
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.
| וַיִּֽהְיוּ בְנֵי־נֹחַ הַיֹּֽצְאִים מִן־הַתֵּבָה שֵׁם וְחָם וָיָפֶת וְחָם הוּא אֲבִי כְנָֽעַן׃ |
19 These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.
| שְׁלֹשָׁה אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי־נֹחַ וּמֵאֵלֶּה נָֽפְצָה כָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
20 And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
| וַיָּחֶל נֹחַ אִישׁ הֽ͏ָאֲדָמָה וַיִּטַּע כָּֽרֶם׃ |
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent.
| וַיֵּשְׁתְּ מִן־הַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁכָּר וַיִּתְגַּל בְּתוֹךְ אָהֳלֹֽה׃ |
22 And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.
| וַיַּרְא חָם אֲבִי כְנַעַן אֵת עֶרְוַת אָבִיו וַיַּגֵּד לִשְׁנֵֽי־אֶחָיו בַּחֽוּץ׃ |
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.
| וַיִּקַּח שֵׁם וָיֶפֶת אֶת־הַשִּׂמְלָה וַיָּשִׂימוּ עַל־שְׁכֶם שְׁנֵיהֶם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ אֲחֹרַנִּית וַיְכַסּוּ אֵת עֶרְוַת אֲבִיהֶם וּפְנֵיהֶם אֲחֹרַנִּית וְעֶרְוַת אֲבִיהֶם לֹא רָאֽוּ׃ |
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and learned what his youngest son had done to him.
| וַיִּיקֶץ נֹחַ מִיֵּינוֹ וַיֵּדַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה־לוֹ בְּנוֹ הַקָּטָֽן׃ |
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אָרוּר כְּנָעַן עֶבֶד עֲבָדִים יִֽהְיֶה לְאֶחָֽיו׃ |
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
| וַיֹּאמֶר בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי שֵׁם וִיהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָֽמוֹ׃ |
27 Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
| יַפְתְּ אֱלֹהִים לְיֶפֶת וְיִשְׁכֹּן בְּאָֽהֳלֵי־שֵׁם וִיהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָֽמוֹ׃ |
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
| וֽ͏ַיְחִי־נֹחַ אַחַר הַמַּבּוּל שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה וֽ͏ַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָֽה׃ |
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
| וַיִּֽהְיוּ כָּל־יְמֵי־נֹחַ תְּשַׁע מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה וַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה וַיָּמֹֽת׃ |
