Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
So God blessed Noah and his sons, —and said to them Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth;
2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
and let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every living creature of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, —over everything that moveth along on the ground, and over all the fishes of the sea, —into your hand, have they been given.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
As for every moving thing that hath life, yours, shall it be, for food, —Like the green herb, have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
Yet flesh with the life thereof, the blood thereof, shall ye not eat;
5 I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
And surely your blood, of your lives, will I require, From the hand of every living creature, will I require it, —and from the hand of man From the hand of each one’s brother, will I require the life of man:
6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
He that sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, —For, in the image of God, made he man.
7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
Ye, therefore, be fruitful and multiply, swarm in the earth and multiply therein.
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying:
9 “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
I, therefore, behold me! establishing my covenant with you, —and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
and with every living soul that is with you, of birds, of tame-beasts and of all wild-beasts of the earth that are with you, —of all coming forth out of the ark, even to all wild-beasts of the earth;
11 I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
yea, I will establish my covenant with you, so that all flesh shall not be cut off any more, by reason of the waters of a flood, —neither shall there be any more a flood to destroy the earth.
12 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:
And God said, This, is the sign of the covenant which I am granting betwixt me and you, and every living soul that is with you, —to age-abiding generations: —
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
My bow, have I set in the cloud, —and it shall be for a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and the earth;
14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
and it shall be when I draw a veil of cloud over the earth, —and the bow in the cloud appeareth,
15 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.
then will I remember my covenant which is betwixt me and you, and every living soul among all flesh, —that the waters may 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 God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
so the bow shall be in the cloud, —and I will behold it, to remember an age-abiding covenant, between God, and every living soul among all flesh that is on the earth.
17 God said to Noah, “This is the token 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 sign of the covenant which have established, between me and all flesh that is on the earth.
18 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
And the sons of Noah who came forth out of the ark, were—Shem and Ham and Japheth, —now, Ham, was the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
These three, were the sons of Noah, —and from these, was all the earth overspread.
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
And Noah began to be a husbandman, —so he planted a vineyard:
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
and dank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself in the midst of his tent.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father’s shame, —and told his two brethren outside.
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 backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
And Shem and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on the shoulder of them both and went backwards, and covered the shame of their father, but their faces were backwards, and the shame of their father, saw they not.
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
And Noah awoke from his wine, —and came to know what his youngest son had done to him.
25 He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
And he said, Accursed be Canaan, —a servant of servants, shall he be to his brethren!
26 He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, 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 give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation 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 fifty years, and then he died.
so, all the days of Noah, were—nine hundred and fifty years, —and he died.
