Genesis 9
1 And God blesses Noah and his sons, and says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
So God blessed Noah and his sons, —and said to them Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth;
2 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.
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 creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
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 in its life—its blood—you do not eat.
Yet flesh with the life thereof, the blood thereof, shall ye not eat;
5 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;
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 whoever sheds man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He made 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 fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.”
Ye, therefore, be fruitful and multiply, swarm in the earth and multiply therein.
8 And God speaks to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying:
9 “And I, behold, I am establishing 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 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.
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 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.”
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 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;
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 My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been 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 has come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow has been 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 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;
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 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.”
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 says to Noah, “This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] on 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 who are going out of the Ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is 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 [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.
These three, were the sons of Noah, —and from these, was all the earth overspread.
20 And Noah remains a man of the ground, and plants a vineyard,
And Noah began to be a husbandman, —so he planted a vineyard:
21 and drinks of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovers himself in the midst of the tent.
and dank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself in the midst of his tent.
22 And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to his two brothers outside.
And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father’s shame, —and told his two brethren outside.
23 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.
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 awakens from his wine, and knows that which his young son has done to him,
And Noah awoke from his wine, —and came to know what his youngest son had done to him.
25 and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”
And he said, Accursed be Canaan, —a servant of servants, shall he be to his brethren!
26 And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Shem, —And let Canaan be their servant:
27 God gives beauty to Japheth, And he dwells in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.”
God give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be their servant.
28 And Noah lives 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 are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dies.
so, all the days of Noah, were—nine hundred and fifty years, —and he died.
