< Genesis 9 >
1 benedixitque Deus Noe et filiis eius et dixit ad eos crescite et multiplicamini et implete terram
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 et terror vester ac tremor sit super cuncta animalia terrae et super omnes volucres caeli cum universis quae moventur in terra omnes pisces maris manui vestrae traditi sunt
And let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every animal of the earth, and upon all fowl of the heavens: upon all that moveth [on] the ground; and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
3 et omne quod movetur et vivit erit vobis in cibum quasi holera virentia tradidi vobis omnia
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you: as the green herb I give you everything.
4 excepto quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis
Only, the flesh with its life, its blood, ye shall not eat.
5 sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum et de manu hominis de manu viri et fratris eius requiram animam hominis
And indeed your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require: at the hand of every animal will I require it, and at the hand of Man, at the hand of each [the blood] of his 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 he hath made Man.
7 vos autem crescite et multiplicamini et ingredimini super terram et implete eam
And ye, be fruitful and multiply: swarm on the earth, and multiply on it.
8 haec quoque dixit Deus ad Noe et ad filios eius cum eo
And God spoke to 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 soul which is with you, fowl as well as cattle, and all the animals of the earth with you, of all that has gone out of the ark — every animal of the earth.
11 statuam pactum meum vobiscum et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram
And I establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, and henceforth there shall be no 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 sign of the covenant that I set between me and you and every living soul that is with you, for everlasting generations:
13 arcum meum ponam in nubibus et erit signum foederis inter me et inter terram
I set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the 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 clouds 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 delendam universam carnem
and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living soul of all flesh; and the waters shall not henceforth become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 eritque arcus in nubibus et videbo illum et recordabor foederis sempiterni quod pactum est inter Deum et inter 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 soul of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 dixitque Deus Noe hoc erit signum foederis quod constitui inter me et inter omnem carnem super terram
And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 erant igitur filii Noe qui egressi sunt de arca Sem Ham et Iafeth porro Ham ipse est pater Chanaan
And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 tres isti sunt filii Noe et ab his disseminatum est omne hominum genus super universam terram
These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.
20 coepitque Noe vir agricola exercere terram et plantavit vineam
And Noah began [to be] a 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 uncovered himself in his tent.
22 quod cum vidisset Ham pater Chanaan verenda scilicet patris sui esse nuda nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras
And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.
23 at vero Sem et Iafeth pallium inposuerunt umeris suis et incedentes retrorsum operuerunt verecunda patris sui faciesque eorum aversae erant et patris virilia non viderunt
And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that 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 learned what his youngest son had done to him.
25 ait maledictus Chanaan servus servorum erit fratribus suis
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.
26 dixitque benedictus Dominus Deus Sem sit Chanaan servus eius
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
27 dilatet Deus Iafeth et habitet in tabernaculis Sem sitque Chanaan servus eius
Let God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
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.
