< Genesis 9 >

1 And he blessed God Noah and sons his and he said to them be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over the earth.
2 And fear your and dread your will be on every animal of the earth and on every bird of the heavens on all that creeps the ground and on all [the] fish of the sea in hand your they are given.
All the wild animals on the earth and all the birds, all the creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the fish, will be very afraid [DOU] of you. I have put them under your control.
3 Every creeping thing which it [is] alive for you it will become food like [the] greenery of plant[s] I give to you everything.
Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
4 Nevertheless flesh with life its blood its not you must eat.
[It is blood that causes creatures to be alive], therefore you must not eat meat that still has blood in it after the animal is killed. [After you have drained the blood out, you may cook it and eat it].
5 And nevertheless blood of your of lives you I will seek from [the] hand of every animal I will seek it and from [the] hand of humankind from [the] hand of each brother his I will seek [the] life of humankind.
I insist that murderers must be executed. Animals that kill people must also be executed. The reason that everyone who murders someone else must be executed is that
6 [the] [one who] sheds [the] blood of Humankind by humankind blood his will be shed for in [the] image of God he made humankind.
I made people to be like myself [in many ways]. So someone who murders another human being must be executed by others, [because he killed someone who is like me].
7 And you be fruitful and multiply swarm on the earth and multiply on it.
As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
8 And he said God to Noah and to sons his with him saying.
God also said to Noah and his sons,
9 And I here [am] I about to establish covenant my with you and with offspring your after you.
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
10 And with every creature living which [is] with you among the bird[s] among the livestock and among every animal of the earth with you from all [those which] came out of the ark to every animal of the earth.
and with all the living creatures that are with you—including the birds, the livestock, and the wild animals—every living creature on the earth that came out of the boat with you.
11 And I will establish covenant my with you and not will be cut off all flesh again from [the] waters of the flood and not will be again a flood to destroy the earth.
This is the promise that I am making to you: I will never again destroy all living creatures by a flood, or destroy everything else on the earth by a flood.”
12 And he said God this [is] [the] sign of the covenant which I [am] making between me and between you and between every creature living which [is] with you for generations of perpetuity.
Then God said to him, “This is the sign to guarantee that I will keep the promise that I am making to you and to all living creatures, a promise that I will keep forever:
13 Bow my I set in the cloud[s] and it will become a sign of a covenant between me and between the earth.
[From time to time] I will put a rainbow in the sky. It will remind me of my promise that I have made to you and everything on the earth.
14 And it will be when bring cloud I cloud over the earth and it will be seen the bow in the cloud[s].
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 And I will remember covenant my which [is] between me and between you and between every creature living among all flesh and not will become again the water a flood to destroy all flesh.
it will remind me about the promise that I have made to you and all living creatures, my promise that there will never again be a flood that will destroy all living creatures.
16 And it will be the bow in the cloud[s] and I will see it to remember [the] covenant of perpetuity between God and between every creature living among all flesh which [is] on the earth.
Whenever there is a rainbow in the sky, I will see it, and I will think about the promise that I have made to every living creature that is upon the earth, a promise that I will keep forever.”
17 And he said God to Noah this [is] [the] sign of the covenant which I have established between me and between all flesh which [is] on the earth.
Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow will be the sign of the promise that I have made to all the creatures that live on the earth.”
18 And they were [the] sons of Noah who came out from the ark Shem and Ham and Japheth and Ham he [was] [the] father of Canaan.
The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
19 Three these [were] [the] sons of Noah and from these dispersed all the earth.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 And he began Noah [the] man of the ground and he planted a vineyard.
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 And he drank some of the wine and he became drunk and he uncovered himself in [the] middle of (tent his. *Q(K)*)
[When they later produced grapes, he made wine from the grapes]. One day, when he drank too much of the wine, he became drunk, and he lay naked in his tent.
22 And he saw Ham [the] father of Canaan [the] nakedness of father his and he told to [the] two brothers his on the outside.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father lying naked in the tent. So he went outside and told his two older brothers what he had seen.
23 And he took Shem and Japheth the garment and they put [it] on [the] shoulder of both of them and they walked backwards and they covered [the] nakedness of father their and faces their [were] backwards and [the] nakedness of father their not they saw.
Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked.
24 And he awoke Noah from wine his and he knew [that] which he had done to him son his young.
When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
25 And he said [be] cursed Canaan a slave of slaves he will be of brothers his.
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Shem and let him be Canaan a slave to them.
I will ask God to enlarge the territory that belongs to Japheth, and allow his descendants to live peacefully among the descendants of Shem [MTY].
27 May he make spacious God Japheth and let him dwell in [the] tents of Shem and let him be Canaan a slave to them.
And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
28 And he lived Noah after the flood three hundred year[s] and fifty year[s].
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 And they were all [the] days of Noah nine hundred year[s] and fifty year[s] and he died.
He died when he was 950 years old.
