Génesis 9
1 Dios bendijo a Noé y a sus hijos y les dijo: “Sed fecundos, multiplicaos y llenad la tierra.
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 El temor y el miedo a vosotros recaerán sobre todos los animales de la tierra y sobre todas las aves del cielo. Todo lo que se mueve por la tierra, y todos los peces del mar, serán entregados en tu mano.
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 Todo lo que se mueve y vive será alimento para ti. Así como te di la hierba verde, te he dado todo.
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 Pero la carne con vida, es decir, su sangre, no la comeréis.
[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 Ciertamente pediré cuentas por la sangre de tu vida. A la mano de todo animal se la exigiré. A la mano del hombre, incluso a la mano del hermano de todo hombre, le exigiré la vida del hombre.
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 El que derrame sangre de hombre, su sangre será derramada por el hombre, porque Dios hizo al hombre a su imagen y semejanza.
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 Sed fecundos y multiplicaos. Creced en abundancia en la tierra y multiplicaos en ella”.
As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
8 Dios habló a Noé y a sus hijos con él, diciendo:
God also said to Noah and his sons,
9 “En cuanto a mí, he aquí que yo establezco mi pacto con vosotros, y con vuestra descendencia después de vosotros,
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
10 y con toda criatura viviente que está con vosotros: las aves, el ganado y todo animal de la tierra con vosotros, de todos los que salen de la nave, todo animal de la tierra.
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 Estableceré mi pacto con vosotros: Toda la carne no volverá a ser eliminada por las aguas del diluvio. Nunca más habrá un diluvio que destruya la tierra”.
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 Dios dijo: “Esta es la señal de la alianza que hago entre ustedes y yo, y toda criatura viviente que está con ustedes, por generaciones perpetuas:
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 Yo pongo mi arco iris en la nube, y será una señal de alianza entre la tierra y yo.
[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 Cuando traiga una nube sobre la tierra, para que el arco iris se vea en la nube,
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 me acordaré de mi pacto, que es entre yo y vosotros y toda criatura viviente de toda carne, y las aguas no se convertirán más en un diluvio 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 El arco iris estará en la nube. Lo miraré para acordarme del pacto eterno entre Dios y toda criatura viviente de toda carne que está en la tierra.”
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 Dios dijo a Noé: “Esta es la señal de la alianza que he establecido entre yo y toda la carne que está sobre la tierra.”
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 Los hijos de Noé que salieron de la nave fueron Sem, Cam y Jafet. Cam es el padre de Canaán.
The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
19 Estos tres fueron los hijos de Noé, y de ellos se pobló toda la tierra.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 Noé comenzó a ser agricultor y plantó una viña.
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 Bebió del vino y se emborrachó. Se descubrió dentro de su tienda.
[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 Cam, el padre de Canaán, vio la desnudez de su padre y se lo dijo a sus dos hermanos que estaban fuera.
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 Sem y Jafet tomaron una prenda de vestir, se la pusieron sobre los hombros de ambos, entraron de espaldas y cubrieron la desnudez de su padre. Sus rostros estaban al revés, y no vieron la desnudez de su padre.
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 Noé despertó de su vino y supo lo que su hijo menor le había hecho.
When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
25 Dijo, “Canaán está maldito. Será siervo de los siervos de sus hermanos”.
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 Él dijo, “Bendito sea Yahvé, el Dios de Sem. Que Canaán sea su siervo.
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 Que Dios engrandezca a Jafet. Que habite en las tiendas de Sem. Que Canaán sea su siervo”.
And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
28 Noé vivió trescientos cincuenta años después del diluvio.
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 Todos los días de Noé fueron novecientos cincuenta años, y luego murió.
He died when he was 950 years old.
