בראשית 9
| וַיְבָרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים אֶת־נֹחַ וְאֶת־בָּנָיו וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם פְּרוּ וּרְבוּ וּמִלְאוּ אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 1 |
And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, Be fertile, and have increase, and make the earth full.
| וּמוֹרַאֲכֶם וְחִתְּכֶם יִֽהְיֶה עַל כׇּל־חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ וְעַל כׇּל־עוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר תִּרְמֹשׂ הָֽאֲדָמָה וּֽבְכׇל־דְּגֵי הַיָּם בְּיֶדְכֶם נִתָּֽנוּ׃ | 2 |
And the fear of you will be strong in every beast of the earth and every bird of the air; everything which goes on the land, and all the fishes of the sea, are given into your hands.
| כׇּל־רֶמֶשׂ אֲשֶׁר הוּא־חַי לָכֶם יִהְיֶה לְאׇכְלָה כְּיֶרֶק עֵשֶׂב נָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת־כֹּֽל׃ | 3 |
Every living and moving thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave you all green things.
| אַךְ־בָּשָׂר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ דָמוֹ לֹא תֹאכֵֽלוּ׃ | 4 |
But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.
| וְאַךְ אֶת־דִּמְכֶם לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם אֶדְרֹשׁ מִיַּד כׇּל־חַיָּה אֶדְרְשֶׁנּוּ וּמִיַּד הָֽאָדָם מִיַּד אִישׁ אָחִיו אֶדְרֹשׁ אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ הָֽאָדָֽם׃ | 5 |
And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man.
| שֹׁפֵךְ דַּם הָֽאָדָם בָּֽאָדָם דָּמוֹ יִשָּׁפֵךְ כִּי בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים עָשָׂה אֶת־הָאָדָֽם׃ | 6 |
Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his image.
| וְאַתֶּם פְּרוּ וּרְבוּ שִׁרְצוּ בָאָרֶץ וּרְבוּ־בָֽהּ׃ | 7 |
And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־נֹחַ וְאֶל־בָּנָיו אִתּוֹ לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 8 |
And God said to Noah and to his sons,
| וַאֲנִי הִנְנִי מֵקִים אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶם וְאֶֽת־זַרְעֲכֶם אַֽחֲרֵיכֶֽם׃ | 9 |
Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you,
| וְאֵת כׇּל־נֶפֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר אִתְּכֶם בָּעוֹף בַּבְּהֵמָה וּֽבְכׇל־חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ אִתְּכֶם מִכֹּל יֹצְאֵי הַתֵּבָה לְכֹל חַיַּת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 10 |
And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.
| וַהֲקִמֹתִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶם וְלֹֽא־יִכָּרֵת כׇּל־בָּשָׂר עוֹד מִמֵּי הַמַּבּוּל וְלֹֽא־יִהְיֶה עוֹד מַבּוּל לְשַׁחֵת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 11 |
And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים זֹאת אֽוֹת־הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נֹתֵן בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם וּבֵין כׇּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה אֲשֶׁר אִתְּכֶם לְדֹרֹת עוֹלָֽם׃ | 12 |
And God said, This is the sign of the agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations:
| אֶת־קַשְׁתִּי נָתַתִּי בֶּֽעָנָן וְהָֽיְתָה לְאוֹת בְּרִית בֵּינִי וּבֵין הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 13 |
I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
| וְהָיָה בְּעַֽנְנִי עָנָן עַל־הָאָרֶץ וְנִרְאֲתָה הַקֶּשֶׁת בֶּעָנָֽן׃ | 14 |
And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,
| וְזָכַרְתִּי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אֲשֶׁר בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם וּבֵין כׇּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה בְּכׇל־בָּשָׂר וְלֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶה עוֹד הַמַּיִם לְמַבּוּל לְשַׁחֵת כׇּל־בָּשָֽׂר׃ | 15 |
And I will keep in mind the agreement between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flow of waters causing destruction to all flesh.
| וְהָיְתָה הַקֶּשֶׁת בֶּֽעָנָן וּרְאִיתִיהָ לִזְכֹּר בְּרִית עוֹלָם בֵּין אֱלֹהִים וּבֵין כׇּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה בְּכׇל־בָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 16 |
And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־נֹחַ זֹאת אֽוֹת־הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר הֲקִמֹתִי בֵּינִי וּבֵין כׇּל־בָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 17 |
And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the agreement which I have made between me and all flesh on the earth.
| וַיִּֽהְיוּ בְנֵי־נֹחַ הַיֹּֽצְאִים מִן־הַתֵּבָה שֵׁם וְחָם וָיָפֶת וְחָם הוּא אֲבִי כְנָֽעַן׃ | 18 |
And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
| שְׁלֹשָׁה אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי־נֹחַ וּמֵאֵלֶּה נָֽפְצָה כׇל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 19 |
These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled.
| וַיָּחֶל נֹחַ אִישׁ הָֽאֲדָמָה וַיִּטַּע כָּֽרֶם׃ | 20 |
In those days Noah became a farmer, and he made a vine-garden.
| וַיֵּשְׁתְּ מִן־הַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁכָּר וַיִּתְגַּל בְּתוֹךְ אׇהֳלֹֽה׃ | 21 |
And he took of the wine of it and was overcome by drink; and he was uncovered in his tent.
| וַיַּרְא חָם אֲבִי כְנַעַן אֵת עֶרְוַת אָבִיו וַיַּגֵּד לִשְׁנֵֽי־אֶחָיו בַּחֽוּץ׃ | 22 |
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father unclothed, and gave news of it to his two brothers outside.
| וַיִּקַּח שֵׁם וָיֶפֶת אֶת־הַשִּׂמְלָה וַיָּשִׂימוּ עַל־שְׁכֶם שְׁנֵיהֶם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ אֲחֹרַנִּית וַיְכַסּוּ אֵת עֶרְוַת אֲבִיהֶם וּפְנֵיהֶם אֲחֹרַנִּית וְעֶרְוַת אֲבִיהֶם לֹא רָאֽוּ׃ | 23 |
And Shem and Japheth took a robe, and putting it on their backs went in with their faces turned away, and put it over their father so that they might not see him unclothed.
| וַיִּיקֶץ נֹחַ מִיֵּינוֹ וַיֵּדַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה לוֹ בְּנוֹ הַקָּטָֽן׃ | 24 |
And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,
| וַיֹּאמֶר אָרוּר כְּנָעַן עֶבֶד עֲבָדִים יִֽהְיֶה לְאֶחָֽיו׃ | 25 |
Cursed be Canaan; let him be a servant of servants to his brothers.
| וַיֹּאמֶר בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי שֵׁם וִיהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָֽמוֹ׃ | 26 |
And he said, Praise to the Lord, the God of Shem; let Canaan be his servant.
| יַפְתְּ אֱלֹהִים לְיֶפֶת וְיִשְׁכֹּן בְּאׇֽהֳלֵי־שֵׁם וִיהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָֽמוֹ׃ | 27 |
May God make Japheth great, and let his living-place be in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.
| וַֽיְחִי־נֹחַ אַחַר הַמַּבּוּל שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה וַֽחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָֽה׃ | 28 |
And Noah went on living three hundred and fifty years after the great flow of waters;
| וַיִּֽהְיוּ כׇּל־יְמֵי־נֹחַ תְּשַׁע מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה וַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה וַיָּמֹֽת׃ | 29 |
all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end.
