Kejadian 9
1 Lalu Allah memberkati Nuh dan anak-anaknya serta berfirman kepada mereka: "Beranakcuculah dan bertambah banyaklah serta penuhilah bumi.
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over the earth.
2 Akan takut dan akan gentar kepadamu segala binatang di bumi dan segala burung di udara, segala yang bergerak di muka bumi dan segala ikan di laut; ke dalam tanganmulah semuanya itu diserahkan.
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.
3 Segala yang bergerak, yang hidup, akan menjadi makananmu. Aku telah memberikan semuanya itu kepadamu seperti juga tumbuh-tumbuhan hijau.
Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
4 Hanya daging yang masih ada nyawanya, yakni darahnya, janganlah kamu makan.
[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].
5 Tetapi mengenai darah kamu, yakni nyawa kamu, Aku akan menuntut balasnya; dari segala binatang Aku akan menuntutnya, dan dari setiap manusia Aku akan menuntut nyawa sesama manusia.
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
6 Siapa yang menumpahkan darah manusia, darahnya akan tertumpah oleh manusia, sebab Allah membuat manusia itu menurut gambar-Nya sendiri.
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].
7 Dan kamu, beranakcuculah dan bertambah banyak, sehingga tak terbilang jumlahmu di atas bumi, ya, bertambah banyaklah di atasnya."
As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
8 Berfirmanlah Allah kepada Nuh dan kepada anak-anaknya yang bersama-sama dengan dia:
God also said to Noah and his sons,
9 "Sesungguhnya Aku mengadakan perjanjian-Ku dengan kamu dan dengan keturunanmu,
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
10 dan dengan segala makhluk hidup yang bersama-sama dengan kamu: burung-burung, ternak dan binatang-binatang liar di bumi yang bersama-sama dengan kamu, segala yang keluar dari bahtera itu, segala binatang di bumi.
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.
11 Maka Kuadakan perjanjian-Ku dengan kamu, bahwa sejak ini tidak ada yang hidup yang akan dilenyapkan oleh air bah lagi, dan tidak akan ada lagi air bah untuk memusnahkan bumi."
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.”
12 Dan Allah berfirman: "Inilah tanda perjanjian yang Kuadakan antara Aku dan kamu serta segala makhluk yang hidup, yang bersama-sama dengan kamu, turun-temurun, untuk selama-lamanya:
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:
13 Busur-Ku Kutaruh di awan, supaya itu menjadi tanda perjanjian antara Aku dan bumi.
[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.
14 Apabila kemudian Kudatangkan awan di atas bumi dan busur itu tampak di awan,
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 maka Aku akan mengingat perjanjian-Ku yang telah ada antara Aku dan kamu serta segala makhluk yang hidup, segala yang bernyawa, sehingga segenap air tidak lagi menjadi air bah untuk memusnahkan segala yang hidup.
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.
16 Jika busur itu ada di awan, maka Aku akan melihatnya, sehingga Aku mengingat perjanjian-Ku yang kekal antara Allah dan segala makhluk yang hidup, segala makhluk yang ada di bumi."
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.”
17 Berfirmanlah Allah kepada Nuh: "Inilah tanda perjanjian yang Kuadakan antara Aku dan segala makhluk yang ada di bumi."
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.”
18 Anak-anak Nuh yang keluar dari bahtera ialah Sem, Ham dan Yafet; Ham adalah bapa Kanaan.
The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
19 Yang tiga inilah anak-anak Nuh, dan dari mereka inilah tersebar penduduk seluruh bumi.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 Nuh menjadi petani; dialah yang mula-mula membuat kebun anggur.
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 Setelah ia minum anggur, mabuklah ia dan ia telanjang dalam kemahnya.
[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.
22 Maka Ham, bapa Kanaan itu, melihat aurat ayahnya, lalu diceritakannya kepada kedua saudaranya di luar.
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.
23 Sesudah itu Sem dan Yafet mengambil sehelai kain dan membentangkannya pada bahu mereka berdua, lalu mereka berjalan mundur; mereka menutupi aurat ayahnya sambil berpaling muka, sehingga mereka tidak melihat aurat ayahnya.
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.
24 Setelah Nuh sadar dari mabuknya dan mendengar apa yang dilakukan anak bungsunya kepadanya,
When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
25 berkatalah ia: "Terkutuklah Kanaan, hendaklah ia menjadi hamba yang paling hina bagi saudara-saudaranya."
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 Lagi katanya: "Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Sem, tetapi hendaklah Kanaan menjadi hamba baginya.
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].
27 Allah meluaskan kiranya tempat kediaman Yafet, dan hendaklah ia tinggal dalam kemah-kemah Sem, tetapi hendaklah Kanaan menjadi hamba baginya."
And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
28 Nuh masih hidup tiga ratus lima puluh tahun sesudah air bah.
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 Jadi Nuh mencapai umur sembilan ratus lima puluh tahun, lalu ia mati.
He died when he was 950 years old.
