< Genesis 9 >

1 Benedixitque Deus Noe et filiis eius. Et dixit ad eos: Crescite, et multiplicamini, et replete terram.
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 Et terror vester ac tremor sit super cuncta animalia terrae, et super omnes volucres caeli, cum universis quae moventur super terram: omnes pisces maris manui vestrae traditi sunt.
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
3 Et omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum: quasi olera virentia tradidi vobis omnia.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
4 Excepto, quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis.
But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 Sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum: et de manu hominis, de manu viri, et de manu fratris eius requiram animam hominis.
And surely your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, will I require the life of man.
6 Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem, fundetur sanguis illius: ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.
Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 Vos autem crescite et multiplicamini, et ingredimini super terram, et implete eam.
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 Haec quoque dixit Deus ad Noe, et ad filios eius cum eo:
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et cum semine vestro post vos:
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 et ad omnem animam viventem, quae est vobiscum, tam in volucribus quam in iumentis et pecudibus terrae cunctis, quae egressa sunt de arca, et universis bestiis terrae.
and with every living creature that is with you, the fowl, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
11 Statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii, neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram.
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 Dixitque Deus: Hoc signum foederis quod do inter me et vos, et ad omnem animam viventem, quae est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas:
And 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:
13 Arcum meum ponam in nubibus, et erit signum foederis inter me, et inter terram.
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 Cumque obduxero nubibus caelum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus:
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
15 et recordabor foederis mei vobiscum, et cum omni anima vivente quae carnem vegetat: et non erunt ultra aquae diluvii ad delendum universam carnem.
and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Eritque arcus meus in nubibus, et videbo illum, et recordabor foederis sempiterni quod pactum est inter Deum et omnem animam viventem universae carnis quae est super terram.
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 Dixitque Deus ad Noe: Hoc est signum foederis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram.
And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 Erant ergo filii Noe, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham, et Iapheth: porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Tres isti filii sunt Noe: et ab his disseminatum est omne genus hominum super universam terram.
These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.
20 Coepitque Noe vir agricola exercere terram, et plantavit vineam.
And Noah began to be an husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
21 Bibensque vinum inebriatus est, et nudatus in tabernaculo suo.
and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 Quod cum vidisset Cham pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui nudata, nunciavit duobus fratribus suis foras.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 At vero Sem et Iapheth pallium imposuerunt humeris suis, et incedentes retrorsum, operuerunt verenda patris sui: faciesque eorum aversae erant, et patris virilia non viderunt.
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24 Evigilans autem Noe ex vino, cum didicisset quae fecerat ei filius suus minor,
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25 ait: Maledictus Chanaan, servus servorum erit fratribus suis.
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 Dixitque: Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem, sit Chanaan servus eius.
And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
27 Dilatet Deus Iapheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem, sitque Chanaan servus eius.
God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
28 Vixit autem Noe post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis.
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 Et impleti sunt omnes dies eius nongentorum quinquaginta annorum: et mortuus est.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
