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.
Benedixitque Deus Noe et filiis eius. Et dixit ad eos: Crescite, et multiplicamini, et replete terram.
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.
Et terror vester ac tremor sit super cuncta animalia terrae, et super omnes volucres caeli, cum universis quae moventur super terram: omnes pisces maris manui vestrae traditi sunt.
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.
Et omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum: quasi olera virentia tradidi vobis omnia.
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].
Excepto, quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis.
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
Sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum: et de manu hominis, de manu viri, et de manu fratris eius requiram animam hominis.
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].
Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem, fundetur sanguis illius: ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.
7 As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
Vos autem crescite et multiplicamini, et ingredimini super terram, et implete eam.
8 God also said to Noah and his sons,
Haec quoque dixit Deus ad Noe, et ad filios eius cum eo:
9 “Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et cum semine vestro post vos:
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.
et ad omnem animam viventem, quae est vobiscum, tam in volucribus quam in iumentis et pecudibus terrae cunctis, quae egressa sunt de arca, et universis bestiis terrae.
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.”
Statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii, neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram.
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:
Dixitque Deus: Hoc signum foederis quod do inter me et vos, et ad omnem animam viventem, quae est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas:
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.
Arcum meum ponam in nubibus, et erit signum foederis inter me, et inter terram.
14 When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
Cumque obduxero nubibus caelum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus:
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.
et recordabor foederis mei vobiscum, et cum omni anima vivente quae carnem vegetat: et non erunt ultra aquae diluvii ad delendum universam carnem.
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.”
Eritque arcus meus in nubibus, et videbo illum, et recordabor foederis sempiterni quod pactum est inter Deum et omnem animam viventem universae carnis quae est super terram.
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.”
Dixitque Deus ad Noe: Hoc est signum foederis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram.
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
Erant ergo filii Noe, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham, et Iapheth: porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.
19 All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
Tres isti filii sunt Noe: et ab his disseminatum est omne genus hominum super universam terram.
20 Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
Coepitque Noe vir agricola exercere terram, et plantavit vineam.
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.
Bibensque vinum inebriatus est, et nudatus in tabernaculo suo.
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.
Quod cum vidisset Cham pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui nudata, nunciavit duobus fratribus suis foras.
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.
At vero Sem et Iapheth pallium imposuerunt humeris suis, et incedentes retrorsum, operuerunt verenda patris sui: faciesque eorum aversae erant, et patris virilia non viderunt.
24 When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
Evigilans autem Noe ex vino, cum didicisset quae fecerat ei filius suus minor,
25 He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
ait: Maledictus Chanaan, servus servorum erit fratribus suis.
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].
Dixitque: Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem, sit Chanaan servus eius.
27 And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
Dilatet Deus Iapheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem, sitque Chanaan servus eius.
28 Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
Vixit autem Noe post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis.
29 He died when he was 950 years old.
Et impleti sunt omnes dies eius nongentorum quinquaginta annorum: et mortuus est.
