Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.
So God blessed Noah and his sons, —and said 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 let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every living creature of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, —over everything that moveth along on the ground, and over all the fishes of the sea, —into your hand, have they been given.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be for food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
As for every moving thing that hath life, yours, shall it be, for food, —Like the green herb, have I given you all things.
4 Only flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Yet flesh with the life thereof, the blood thereof, shall ye 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 surely your blood, of your lives, will I require, From the hand of every living creature, will I require it, —and from the hand of man From the hand of each one’s brother, will 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.
He that sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, —For, in the image of God, made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.'
Ye, therefore, be fruitful and multiply, swarm in the earth and multiply therein.
8 And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:
And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying:
9 'As for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
I, therefore, behold me! 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 soul that is with you, of birds, of tame-beasts and of all wild-beasts of the earth that are with you, —of all coming forth out of the ark, even to all wild-beasts 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.'
yea, I will establish my covenant with you, so that all flesh shall not be cut off any more, by reason of the waters of a flood, —neither shall there be any more a flood to destroy the earth.
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 said, This, is the sign of the covenant which I am granting betwixt me and you, and every living soul that is with you, —to age-abiding 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, have I set in the cloud, —and it shall be for a sign of a covenant, betwixt 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 shall be when I draw a veil of cloud over the earth, —and the bow in the cloud appeareth,
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.
then will I remember my covenant which is betwixt me and you, and every living soul among all flesh, —that the waters may no more 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.'
so the bow shall be in the cloud, —and I will behold it, to remember an age-abiding covenant, between God, and every living soul among all flesh that 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 said unto Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which 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 came forth out of the ark, were—Shem and Ham and Japheth, —now, Ham, was the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and of these was the whole earth overspread.
These three, were the sons of Noah, —and from these, was all the earth overspread.
20 And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard.
And Noah began to be a husbandman, —so he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
and dank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself in the midst of his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father’s shame, —and told his two brethren 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 and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on the shoulder of them both and went backwards, and covered the shame of their father, but their faces were backwards, and the shame of their father, saw they not.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
And Noah awoke from his wine, —and came to know what his youngest son had done to him.
25 And he said: Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
And he said, Accursed be Canaan, —a servant of servants, shall he be to his brethren!
26 And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Shem, —And let Canaan be their servant:
27 God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
God give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be their servant.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
And Noah lived after the flood, —three hundred and fifty years:
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
so, all the days of Noah, were—nine hundred and fifty years, —and he died.
