Genesis 9
1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over the earth.
And God blessed Noe and his sonnes and sayd vnto them: Increase and multiplye and fyll the erth.
2 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.
The feare also and drede of yow be vppon all beastes of the erth and vppon all foules of the ayre ad vppon all that crepeth on the erth and vppon all fyshes of the see which are geven vnto youre handes
3 Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
And all that moveth vppon the erth havynge lyfe shall be youre meate: Euen as ye grene herbes so geue I yow all thynge.
4 [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].
Only the flesh with his life which is his bloud se that ye eate not.
5 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
For verely the bloude of yow wherein youre lyves are wyll I requyre: Eue of the hande of all beastes wyll I requyre it And of the hande of man and of the hand off euery mannes brother wyll I requyre the lyfe of man:
6 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].
so yt he which shedeth mannes bloude shall haue hys bloud shed by man agayne: for God made man after his awne lycknesse.
7 As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
See that ye encrease and waxe and be occupyde vppon the erth and multiplye therein.
8 God also said to Noah and his sons,
Farthermore God spake vnto Noe and to hys sonnes wyth hym saynge:
9 “Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
see I make my bod wyth you and youre seed after you
10 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.
and wyth all lyvynge thinge that is wyth you: both foule and catell and all maner beste of the erth that is wyth yow of all that commeth out of the arke what soeuer beste of the erth it be.
11 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.”
I make my bonde wyth yow that hence forth all flesh shall not be destroyed wyth yt waters of any floud ad yt hence forth there shall not be a floud to destroy the erth.
12 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:
And God sayd. This is the token of my bode which I make betwene me and yow ad betwene all lyvynge thyng that is with yow for ever:
13 [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.
I wyll sette my bowe in the cloudes and it shall be a sygne of the appoyntment made betwene me and the erth:
14 When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
So that when I brynge in cloudes vpo ye erth the bowe shall appere in ye cloudes.
15 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.
And than wyll I thynke vppon my testament which I haue made betwene me and yow and all that lyveth what soeuer flesh it be. So that henceforth there shall be no more waters to make a floud to destroy all flesh.
16 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.”
The bowe shalbe in the cloudes and I wyll loke vpon it to remembre the euerlastynge testament betwene God and all that lyveth vppon the erth what soeuer flesh it be.
17 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.”
And God sayd vnto Noe: This is the sygne of the testament which I have made betwene me and all flesh yt is on the erth.
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
The sonnes of Noe that came out of the arke were: Sem Ham and Iapheth. And Ham he is the father of Canaa.
19 All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
These are the. iij. sonnes of Noe and of these was all the world overspred.
20 Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
And Noe beynge an husbad man went furth and planted a vyneyarde
21 [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.
and drancke of the wyne and was droncke and laye vncouered in the myddest of his tet.
22 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.
And Ham the father of Canaan sawe his fathers prevytees and tolde his ij. brethren that were wythout.
23 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.
And Sem and Iapheth toke a mantell and put it on both there shulders ad went backward ad covered there fathers secrets but there faces were backward So that they sawe not there fathers nakydnes.
24 When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
As soone as Noe was awaked fro his wyne and wyst what his yongest sonne had done vnto hym
25 He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
he sayd: cursed be Canaan ad a seruante, of all seruantes be he to his brethren.
26 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].
And he sayd: Blessed be the LORde God of Se and Canaan be his seruante.
27 And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
God increase Iapheth that he may dwelle in the tentes of Sem. And Canaan be their seruante.
28 Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
And Noe lyved after the floude. iij. hundred and. l. yere:
29 He died when he was 950 years old.
So that all the dayes of Noe were ix. hundred and. l. yere ad than he dyed.
