1 A nd God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;

And God pronounced a blessing upon Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2 a nd your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea -- into your hand they have been given.

And the fear of you and the dread and terror of you shall be upon every beast of the land, every bird of the air, all that creeps upon the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are delivered into your hand.

3 E very creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green vegetables and plants, I give you everything.

4 o nly flesh in its life -- its blood -- ye do not eat.

But you shall not eat flesh with the life of it, which is its blood.

5 ` And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of man;

And surely for your lifeblood I will require an accounting; from every beast I will require it; and from man, from every man I will require a reckoning.

6 w hoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.

Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God He made man.

7 A nd ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'

And you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply on it.

8 A nd God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying,

Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9 ` And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,

Behold, I establish My covenant or pledge with you and with your descendants after you

10 a nd with every living creature which with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the ark -- to every beast of the earth.

And with every living creature that is with you—whether the birds, the livestock, or the wild beasts of the earth along with you, as many as came out of the ark—every animal of the earth.

11 A nd I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not any more a deluge to destroy the earth.'

I will establish My covenant or pledge with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood; neither shall there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth and make it corrupt.

12 A nd God saith, `This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that with you, to generations age-during;

And God said, This is the token of the covenant (solemn pledge) which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:

13 M y bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;

I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be a token or sign of a covenant or solemn pledge between Me and the earth.

14 a nd it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud,

And it shall be that when I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,

15 a nd I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters become no more a deluge to destroy all flesh;

I will remember My covenant or solemn pledge which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy and make all flesh corrupt.

16 a nd the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it -- to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which on the earth.'

When the bow is in the clouds and I look upon it, I will remember the everlasting covenant or pledge between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17 A nd God saith unto Noah, `This a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that upon the earth.'

And God said to Noah, This is the token or sign of the covenant or solemn pledge which I have established between Me and all flesh upon the earth.

18 A nd the sons of Noah who are going out of the ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.

The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.

19 T hese three sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread.

These are the three sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was overspread and stocked with inhabitants.

20 A nd Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,

And Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.

21 a nd drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.

And he drank of the wine and became drunk, and he was uncovered and lay naked in his tent.

22 A nd Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, glanced at and saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.

23 A nd Shem taketh -- Japheth also -- the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces backward, and their father's nakedness they have not seen.

So Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon the shoulders of both, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

24 A nd Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,

When Noah awoke from his wine, and knew the thing which his youngest son had done to him,

25 a nd saith: `Cursed Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'

He exclaimed, Cursed be Canaan! He shall be the servant of servants to his brethren!

26 A nd he saith: `Blessed of Jehovah my God Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.

He also said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem! And blessed by the Lord my God be Shem! And let Canaan be his servant.

27 G od doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'

May God enlarge Japheth; and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.

28 A nd Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;

And Noah lived after the flood 350 years.

29 a nd all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.

All the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
