Gênesis 9
1 E abençoou Deus a Noé e a seus filhos, e disse-lhes: frutificai e multiplicai-vos, e enchei a terra.
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 E será o vosso temor e o vosso pavor sobre todo o animal da terra, e sobre toda a ave dos céus: tudo o que se move sobre a terra, e todos os peixes do mar, na vossa mão são entregues.
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 Tudo quanto se move, que é vivente, será para vosso mantimento: tudo vos tenho dado como erva verde.
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 A carne, porém, com sua vida, isto é, com seu sangue, não comereis.
[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 E certamente requererei o vosso sangue, o sangue das vossas vidas; da mão de todo o animal o requererei: como também da mão do homem, e da mão do irmão de cada um requererei a vida do homem.
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 Quem derramar o sangue do homem, pelo homem o seu sangue será derramado: porque Deus fez o homem conforme à sua imagem.
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 Mas vós frutificai e multiplicai-vos: povoai abundantemente a terra, e multiplicai-vos nela.
As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
8 E falou Deus a Noé, e a seus filhos com ele, dizendo:
God also said to Noah and his sons,
9 E eu, eis que estabeleço o meu concerto convosco e com a vossa semente depois de vós,
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
10 E com toda a alma vivente, que convosco está, de aves, de rezes, e de todo o animal da terra convosco: desde todos que sairam da arca, até todo o animal da terra.
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 E eu convosco estabeleço o meu concerto, que não será mais destruída toda a carne pelas águas do dilúvio: e que não haverá mais dilúvio, para destruir a terra.
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 E disse Deus: Este é o sinal do concerto que ponho entre mim e vós, e entre toda a alma vivente, que está convosco, por gerações eternas.
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 O meu arco tenho posto na nuvem: este será por sinal do concerto entre mim e a terra.
[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 E acontecerá que, quando eu trouxer nuvens sobre a terra, aparecerá o arco nas nuvens:
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 Então me lembrarei do meu concerto, que está entre mim e vós, e entre toda a alma vivente de toda a carne: e as águas não se tornarão mais em dilúvio, para destruir toda a carne.
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 E estará o arco nas nuvens, e eu o verei, para me lembrar do concerto eterno entre Deus e toda a alma vivente de toda a carne, que está sobre a terra.
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 E disse Deus a Noé: Este é o sinal do concerto que tenho estabelecido entre mim e entre toda a carne, que está sobre a terra.
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 E os filhos de Noé, que da arca sairam, foram Sem, e Cão, e Japhet; e Cão, é o pai de Canaan.
The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
19 Estes três foram os filhos de Noé; e destes se povoou toda a terra.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 E começou Noé a ser lavrador da terra, e plantou uma vinha:
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 E bebeu do vinho, e embebedou-se; e descobriu-se no meio de sua tenda.
[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 E viu Cão, o pai de Canaan, a nudez do seu pai, e fê-lo saber a ambos seus irmãos fora.
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 Então tomaram Sem e Japhet uma capa, e puseram-na sobre ambos os seus ombros, e indo virados para traz, cobriram a nudez do seu pai, e os seus rostos eram virados, de maneira que não viram a nudez do seu pai.
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 E despertou Noé do seu vinho, e soube o que seu filho menor lhe fizera.
When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
25 E disse: Maldito seja Canaan: servo dos servos seja aos seus irmãos.
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 E disse: bendito seja o Senhor Deus de Sem: e seja-lhe Canaan por servo.
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 Alargue Deus a Japhet, e habite nas tendas de Sem: e seja-lhe Canaan por servo.
And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
28 E viveu Noé, depois do dilúvio, trezentos e cincoênta anos.
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 E foram todos os dias de Noé novecentos e cincoênta anos, e morreu.
He died when he was 950 years old.
