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.
Y bendijo Dios a Noé y a sus hijos, y dijo: Sean fértiles, multipliquen, y llenen la tierra.
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.
Temblarán y temerán delante de ustedes todas las bestias de la tierra y todas las aves del cielo; todo lo que se mueve sobre la tierra, y todos los peces del mar, son entregados en tus manos.
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.
Toda cosa viviente y que se mueve será alimento para ti; Se los doy a todos como antes les di todas las cosas verdes.
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].
pero la carne con la sangre de vida en ella no puedes tomar para comer.
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
Y por tu sangre, que es tu vida, pediré cuentas; de toda bestia la tomaré, y del hermano de todo hombre; demandaré cuenta de la vida de un ser humano.
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].
Quien quita la vida a un hombre, por su vida humana será tomada; porque Dios hizo al hombre a su imagen.
7 As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
Y ahora, sé fértil y hagan crecer al mundo; tengan descendencia en la tierra en gran número.
8 God also said to Noah and his sons,
Y Dios dijo a Noé y a sus hijos,
9 “Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
Yo establezco mi pacto, contigo y con tu simiente después de ti,
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.
Y con todo ser viviente contigo, todas las aves, los animales y todas las bestias de la tierra que salgan del arca contigo.
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.”
Y haré mi pacto contigo; nunca más toda carne será destruida por las aguas; nunca más las aguas vendrán sobre toda la tierra para su destrucción.
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:
Y dijo Dios: Esta es la señal del pacto que yo establezco entre ustedes y yo, y todo ser viviente contigo, para todas las generaciones futuras:
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.
Pondré mi arco iris en la nube, y será por señal de acuerdo entre mí y la tierra.
14 When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
Y cuando haga venir nube sobre la tierra, se verá el arco iris en la nube,
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.
Y tendré presente el acuerdo entre tú y yo, y todo ser viviente; y nunca más habrá un gran flujo de aguas que cause destrucción a toda carne.
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.”
Y el arco iris estará en la nube, y mirándola, tendré en cuenta el eterno acuerdo entre Dios y todo ser viviente sobre la tierra.
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.”
Y Dios dijo a Noé: Esta es la señal del pacto que hice entre mí y toda carne en la tierra.
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
Y los hijos de Noé que salieron del arca fueron Sem, Cam y Jafet; y Cam es el padre de Canaán.
19 All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
Estos tres fueron los hijos de Noé, y de ellos toda la tierra fue poblada.
20 Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
En aquellos días, Noé se hizo agricultor e hizo un huerto de vid.
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.
Y tomó del vino de ella, y fue vencido por la bebida; y él fue descubierto en su tienda.
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.
Y Cam, padre de Canaán, vio desnudo a su padre, y se lo dijo a sus dos hermanos que estaban fuera.
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.
Y Sem y Jafet tomaron una túnica, y poniéndola sobre sus espaldas entraron con sus caras vueltas, y la pusieron sobre su padre para que no lo vieran desvestido.
24 When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
Y, despertando de su vino, Noé vio lo que le había hecho su hijo menor, y dijo:
25 He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
Maldito sea Canaán; que sea un servidor de sirvientes para sus hermanos.
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].
Y dijo: ¡Gloria a Dios, el Dios de Sem; bendice mi Dios a sem! deja que Canaán sea su sirviente.
27 And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
Que Dios haga grande a Jafet, y que su lugar de vida esté en las tiendas de Sem, y que Canaán sea su siervo.
28 Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
Y vivió Noé trescientos cincuenta años después del gran diluvio de las aguas;
29 He died when he was 950 years old.
todos los años de su vida fueron novecientos cincuenta: y llegó a su fin.
