< Genesis 9 >
1 And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea are delivered into your hand.
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.
3 And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
4 Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
5 For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man.
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.
6 Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.
Whoso sheddeth Man's blood, by Man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God he hath made Man.
7 But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it.
And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
8 Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him,
And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.
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.
11 I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth.
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.
12 And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
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:
13 I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me, and between the earth.
I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:
And it shall come to pass when I bring clouds over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
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.
16 And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.
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.
17 And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.
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.
18 And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.
20 And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
21 And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent.
22 Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father’s nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.
And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.
23 But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
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.
24 And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
And Noah awoke from his wine, and learned what his youngest son had done to him.
25 He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.
26 And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
27 May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.
Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
28 And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years:
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
