Génesis 9
1 Y bendijo Dios a Noé y a sus hijos, y díjoles: Fructificad y multiplicad, y henchíd 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 Y vuestro temor y vuestro pavor será sobre todo animal de la tierra, y sobre toda ave de los cielos, en todo lo que se moverá en la tierra, y en todos los peces de la mar: en vuestra mano son entregados.
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, que es vivo, tendréis por mantenimiento: como verdura de yerba os lo 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 Empero la carne con su alma, que es su sangre, no 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 Porque ciertamente vuestra sangre, que es vuestras almas, yo la demandaré, de mano de todo animal la demandaré, y de mano del hombre, de mano del varón su hermano demandaré el alma 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 derramare sangre de hombre en el hombre, su sangre será derramada; porque a imagen de Dios es hecho el hombre.
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 vosotros fructificad y multiplicad, y andád en la tierra, y multiplicad 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 Y habló Dios a Noé y a sus hijos con él, diciendo:
God also said to Noah and his sons,
9 Yo: he aquí que yo establezco mi concierto con vosotros, y con vuestra simiente, después de vosotros,
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
10 Y con toda alma viviente que está con vosotros, en aves, en animales, y en toda bestia de la tierra que está con vosotros, desde todos los que salieron del arca hasta 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 Que yo estableceré mi concierto con vosotros que no será talada más toda carne con aguas de diluvio; y que no habrá más diluvio para destruir 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 Y dijo Dios: Esta será la señal del concierto que yo pongo entre mí y vosotros, y toda alma viviente que está con vosotros, por siglos perpetuos:
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 Mi arco pondré en las nubes, el cual será por señal de concierto entre mí y la tierra.
[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 Y será, que cuando yo anublare nubes sobre la tierra, entonces mi arco parecerá en las nubes:
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 Y acordarme he de mi concierto que está entre mí y vosotros, y toda alma viviente en toda carne: y no serán más las aguas por diluvio para destruir a 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 Y estará el arco en las nubes, y verlo he para acordarme del concierto perpetuo entre Dios y toda alma viviente, con toda carne que está sobre 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 Dijo más Dios a Noé: Esta será la señal del concierto, que he establecido entre mí y toda 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 Y fueron los hijos de Noé, que salieron del arca, Sem, Cam, y Jafet: y 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 son los hijos de Noé, y de estos fue llena toda la tierra.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 Y comenzó Noé a labrar la tierra, y plantó una viña:
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 Y bebió del vino, y embriagóse, y descubrióse en medio 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 Y vio Cam, el padre de Canaán, la desnudez de su padre, y díjolo a sus dos hermanos en la calle,
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 Entonces tomó Sem y Jafet la ropa, y pusiéronla sobre sus hombros de ambos, y andando hacia atrás, cubrieron la desnudez de su padre, teniendo vueltos los rostros, que 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 Y despertó Noé de su vino, y supo lo que había hecho con él su hijo el pequeño,
When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
25 Y dijo: Maldito sea Canaán, siervo de siervos será a sus hermanos.
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 Dijo más: Bendito Jehová el Dios de Sem, y séale Canaán 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 Ensanche Dios a Jafet, y habite en las tiendas de Sem, y séale Canaán siervo.
And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
28 Y vivió Noé, después del diluvio, trescientos y cincuenta años.
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 Y fueron todos los días de Noé novecientos y cincuenta años, y murió.
He died when he was 950 years old.
