Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said 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 the fear of you and the dread of you will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are 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 moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
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 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
Yet flesh with the life thereof, the blood thereof, shall ye not eat;
5 And surely I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
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 takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
He that sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, —For, in the image of God, made he man.
7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."
Ye, therefore, be fruitful and multiply, swarm in the earth and multiply therein.
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying:
9 "And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring 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 flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
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 I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again 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 God said, "This is the sign 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 set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the 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 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be 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 will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will 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 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh that 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 God said to Noah, "This is the sign 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 The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 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 were the three sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
These three, were the sons of Noah, —and from these, was all the earth overspread.
20 Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard.
And Noah began to be a husbandman, —so he planted a vineyard:
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. 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 his father naked and told his two brothers outside.
And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father’s shame, —and told his two brethren outside.
23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, and they did not see 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 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
And Noah awoke from his wine, —and came to know what his youngest son had done to him.
25 He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
And he said, Accursed be Canaan, —a servant of servants, shall he be to his brethren!
26 He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Shem, —And let Canaan be their servant:
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."
God give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be their servant.
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
And Noah lived after the flood, —three hundred and fifty years:
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, then he died.
so, all the days of Noah, were—nine hundred and fifty years, —and he died.
