Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish 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 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.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be for food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
4 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
Only flesh with the life thereof, which is 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; 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.
6 Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
Whoso 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."
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.'
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:
9 "And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
'As for Me, behold, I establish 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 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.
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."
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.'
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 token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
I have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between 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 come to pass, when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the cloud,
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.
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.
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."
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.'
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 token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon 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, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is 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 of these was the whole earth overspread.
20 Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard.
And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard.
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within 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 the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
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 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.
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25 He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
And he said: Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the 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 enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell 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.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
