< בראשית 9 >
וַיְבָרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים אֶת־נֹחַ וְאֶת־בָּנָיו וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם פְּרוּ וּרְבוּ וּמִלְאוּ אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 1 |
And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.
וּמוֹרַאֲכֶם וְחִתְּכֶם יִֽהְיֶה עַל כָּל־חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ וְעַל כָּל־עוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר תִּרְמֹשׂ הֽ͏ָאֲדָמָה וּֽבְכָל־דְּגֵי הַיָּם בְּיֶדְכֶם נִתָּֽנוּ׃ | 2 |
And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your power.
כָּל־רֶמֶשׂ אֲשֶׁר הוּא־חַי לָכֶם יִהְיֶה לְאָכְלָה כְּיֶרֶק עֵשֶׂב נָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת־כֹּֽל׃ | 3 |
And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.
אַךְ־בָּשָׂר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ דָמוֹ לֹא תֹאכֵֽלוּ׃ | 4 |
But flesh with blood of life you shall not eat.
וְאַךְ אֶת־דִּמְכֶם לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם אֶדְרֹשׁ מִיַּד כָּל־חַיָּה אֶדְרְשֶׁנּוּ וּמִיַּד הֽ͏ָאָדָם מִיַּד אִישׁ אָחִיו אֶדְרֹשׁ אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ הֽ͏ָאָדָֽם׃ | 5 |
For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of [his] brother man.
שֹׁפֵךְ דַּם הֽ͏ָאָדָם בּֽ͏ָאָדָם דָּמוֹ יִשָּׁפֵךְ כִּי בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים עָשָׂה אֶת־הָאָדָֽם׃ | 6 |
He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man.
וְאַתֶּם פְּרוּ וּרְבוּ שִׁרְצוּ בָאָרֶץ וּרְבוּ־בָֽהּ׃ | 7 |
But do you increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־נֹחַ וְאֶל־בָּנָיו אִתּוֹ לֵאמֹֽר׃ | 8 |
And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying,
וַאֲנִי הִנְנִי מֵקִים אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶם וְאֶֽת־זַרְעֲכֶם אֽ͏ַחֲרֵיכֶֽם׃ | 9 |
And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
וְאֵת כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ הֽ͏ַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר אִתְּכֶם בָּעוֹף בַּבְּהֵמָה וּֽבְכָל־חַיַּת הָאָרֶץ אִתְּכֶם מִכֹּל יֹצְאֵי הַתֵּבָה לְכֹל חַיַּת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 10 |
and with every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark.
וַהֲקִמֹתִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶם וְלֹֽא־יִכָּרֵת כָּל־בָּשָׂר עוֹד מִמֵּי הַמַּבּוּל וְלֹֽא־יִהְיֶה עוֹד מַבּוּל לְשַׁחֵת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 11 |
And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים זֹאת אֽוֹת־הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נֹתֵן בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם וּבֵין כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה אֲשֶׁר אִתְּכֶם לְדֹרֹת עוֹלָֽם׃ | 12 |
And the Lord God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations.
אֶת־קַשְׁתִּי נָתַתִּי בֶּֽעָנָן וְהָֽיְתָה לְאוֹת בְּרִית בֵּינִי וּבֵין הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 13 |
I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth.
וְהָיָה בְּעֽ͏ַנְנִי עָנָן עַל־הָאָרֶץ וְנִרְאֲתָה הַקֶּשֶׁת בֶּעָנָֽן׃ | 14 |
And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud.
וְזָכַרְתִּי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אֲשֶׁר בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם וּבֵין כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה בְּכָל־בָּשָׂר וְלֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶה עוֹד הַמַּיִם לְמַבּוּל לְשַׁחֵת כָּל־בָּשָֽׂר׃ | 15 |
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh.
וְהָיְתָה הַקֶּשֶׁת בֶּֽעָנָן וּרְאִיתִיהָ לִזְכֹּר בְּרִית עוֹלָם בֵּין אֱלֹהִים וּבֵין כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה בְּכָל־בָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 16 |
And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between [every] living soul in all flesh, which is upon the earth.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־נֹחַ זֹאת אֽוֹת־הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר הֲקִמֹתִי בֵּינִי וּבֵין כָּל־בָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 17 |
And God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.
וַיִּֽהְיוּ בְנֵי־נֹחַ הַיֹּֽצְאִים מִן־הַתֵּבָה שֵׁם וְחָם וָיָפֶת וְחָם הוּא אֲבִי כְנָֽעַן׃ | 18 |
Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan.
שְׁלֹשָׁה אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי־נֹחַ וּמֵאֵלֶּה נָֽפְצָה כָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 19 |
These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth.
וַיָּחֶל נֹחַ אִישׁ הֽ͏ָאֲדָמָה וַיִּטַּע כָּֽרֶם׃ | 20 |
And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
וַיֵּשְׁתְּ מִן־הַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁכָּר וַיִּתְגַּל בְּתוֹךְ אָהֳלֹֽה׃ | 21 |
And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house.
וַיַּרְא חָם אֲבִי כְנַעַן אֵת עֶרְוַת אָבִיו וַיַּגֵּד לִשְׁנֵֽי־אֶחָיו בַּחֽוּץ׃ | 22 |
And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without.
וַיִּקַּח שֵׁם וָיֶפֶת אֶת־הַשִּׂמְלָה וַיָּשִׂימוּ עַל־שְׁכֶם שְׁנֵיהֶם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ אֲחֹרַנִּית וַיְכַסּוּ אֵת עֶרְוַת אֲבִיהֶם וּפְנֵיהֶם אֲחֹרַנִּית וְעֶרְוַת אֲבִיהֶם לֹא רָאֽוּ׃ | 23 |
And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face [was] backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father.
וַיִּיקֶץ נֹחַ מִיֵּינוֹ וַיֵּדַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה־לוֹ בְּנוֹ הַקָּטָֽן׃ | 24 |
And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him.
וַיֹּאמֶר אָרוּר כְּנָעַן עֶבֶד עֲבָדִים יִֽהְיֶה לְאֶחָֽיו׃ | 25 |
And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren.
וַיֹּאמֶר בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי שֵׁם וִיהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָֽמוֹ׃ | 26 |
And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant.
יַפְתְּ אֱלֹהִים לְיֶפֶת וְיִשְׁכֹּן בְּאָֽהֳלֵי־שֵׁם וִיהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָֽמוֹ׃ | 27 |
May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant.
וֽ͏ַיְחִי־נֹחַ אַחַר הַמַּבּוּל שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה וֽ͏ַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָֽה׃ | 28 |
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
וַיִּֽהְיוּ כָּל־יְמֵי־נֹחַ תְּשַׁע מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה וַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה וַיָּמֹֽת׃ | 29 |
And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
