Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.
And God blesses Noah and his sons, and says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, and upon all wherewith the ground teemeth, 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 for food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
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 flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
only flesh in its life—its blood—you do not eat.
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's 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 made He man.
whoever sheds man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He made man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.'
And you, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:
And God speaks to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 'As for Me, 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 creature that is with you, the fowl, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast 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 will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a 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 token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual 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 have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a 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, and the bow is 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 that I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more 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 creature 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 unto Noah: 'This is the token 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, that went forth from 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 were the sons of Noah, and of these was the whole earth overspread.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.
20 And Noah the husbandman began, 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 was uncovered within 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 without.
And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to his two brothers outside.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and 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 knew what his youngest son had done unto 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; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”
26 And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27 God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
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.
