Gênesis 9
1 E Deus abençoou Noé e seus filhos, e disse-lhes: Frutificai, e multiplicai, 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 vosso temor e vosso pavor será sobre todo animal da terra, e sobre toda ave dos céus, em tudo o que se mover na terra, e em todos os peixes do mar: em 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 o que se move e vive vos será para mantimento: assim como os legumes e ervas, vos dei disso tudo.
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 Porém a carne com sua vida, que é 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 Porque certamente exigirei o sangue de vossas vidas; da mão de todo animal o exigirei, e da mão do ser humano; da mão do homem seu irmão exigirei a vida do ser humano.
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 O que derramar sangue humano, pelo ser humano seu sangue será derramado; porque à imagem de Deus o ser humano foi feito.
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; procriai abundantemente na 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 Eis que eu mesmo estabeleço meu pacto convosco, e com vossa descendência depois de vós;
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
10 E com toda alma vivente que está convosco, de aves, de animais, e de toda fera da terra que está convosco; desde todos os que saíram da arca até todo 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 Estabelecerei meu pacto convosco, e não será mais exterminada toda carne com águas de dilúvio; nem 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 será o sinal do pacto que estabeleço entre mim e vós e toda alma vivente que está convosco, por tempos perpétuos:
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 Meu arco porei nas nuvens, o qual será por sinal de aliança 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 será que quando fizer vir nuvens sobre a terra, se deixará ver então meu arco nas nuvens.
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 E me lembrarei do meu pacto, que há entre mim e vós e toda alma vivente de toda carne; e não serão mais as águas por dilúvio para destruir toda 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 o verei para me lembrar do pacto perpétuo entre Deus e toda alma vivente, com toda carne que há 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 Disse, pois, Deus a Noé: Este será o sinal do pacto que estabeleci entre mim e toda 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 saíram da arca foram Sem, Cam e Jafé: e Cam é o pai de Canaã.
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 são os filhos de Noé; e deles foi cheia toda a terra.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 E começou Noé a lavrar a terra, e plantou uma vinha;
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 E bebeu do vinho, e se embriagou, e estava descoberto dentro 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 Cam, pai de Canaã, viu a nudez de seu pai, e disse-o aos seus dois irmãos do lado de 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 Sem e Jafé tomaram a roupa, e a puseram sobre seus próprios ombros, e andando para trás, cobriram a nudez de seu pai tendo seus rostos virados, e assim não viram a nudez de 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 de seu vinho, e soube o que havia feito com ele seu filho o mais jovem;
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 Canaã; Servo de servos será a seus irmãos.
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 Disse mais: Bendito o SENHOR o Deus de Sem, E seja-lhe Canaã 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 Engrandeça Deus a Jafé, E habite nas tendas de Sem, E seja-lhe Canaã 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 cinquenta anos.
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 E foram todos os dias de Noé novecentos e cinquenta anos; e morreu.
He died when he was 950 years old.
