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 youre drede and tremblyng be on alle vnresonable beestis of erthe, and on alle briddis of heuene, with alle thingis that ben moued in erthe; alle fischis of the see ben youun to youre hond.
3 Et omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum: quasi olera virentia tradidi vobis omnia.
And al thing which is moued and lyueth schal be to you in to mete; Y have youe to you alle thingis as greene wortis,
4 Excepto, quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis.

6 Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem, fundetur sanguis illius: ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.
Who euere schedith out mannus blood, his blood schal be sched; for man is maad to the ymage of God.

9 Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et cum semine vestro post vos:
Y schal make my couenaunt 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 to ech lyuynge soule which is with you, as wel in briddis as in werk beestis and smale beestis of erthe, and to alle thingis that yeden out of the schip, and to alle vnresonable beestis of erthe.
11 Statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii, neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram.
Y schal make my couenaunt with you, and ech fleisch schal no more be slayn of the watris of the greet flood, nethir the greet flood distriynge al erthe schal be more.
12 Dixitque Deus: Hoc signum foederis quod do inter me et vos, et ad omnem animam viventem, quae est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas:

18 Erant ergo filii Noe, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham, et Iapheth: porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.

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 sotheli Sem and Jafeth puttiden a mentil on her schuldris, and thei yeden bacward, and hileden the schameful membris of her fadir, and her faces weren turned awei, and thei sien not the priuy membris of her fadir.
