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

God made good come to Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Have many children, and cover 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.

Every animal of the earth, every bird of the sky, everything that moves on the ground, and all the fish of the sea will be afraid of you. They are given 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 will be food for you. I give all to you as I gave you the green plants.

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

But you must not eat meat with blood in it because that is its life.

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;

For sure, I will take the life of every animal and every person for taking a life. I will punish every man’s brother for taking the life of man.

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

Whoever takes the life of a man will have his life taken. For God made man to be like Him.

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

As for you, have many children. Cover the earth with many people.”

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

Then God said to Noah and his sons,

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

“See, I make My agreement with you, and with your children 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 thing that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every animal of the earth, of all that came out of the large boat, every living thing on 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 make My agreement with you, that never again will all flesh be destroyed by the water of a flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

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;

Then God said, “This is something special to see for all time, because of the agreement that I am making between Me and you and every living thing that is with you:

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 will set My rain-bow in the cloud, and it will be something special to see because of an agreement 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,

When I bring clouds over the earth and the rain-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 agreement that is between Me and you and every living thing of all flesh. Never again will the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

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 rain-bow is in the cloud, I will look upon it to remember the agreement that will last forever between God and every living thing of all flesh that is on 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.'

God said to Noah, “This is the special thing to see because of the agreement I have made between Me and all flesh upon the earth.” Noah and His Sons

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 came out of the large boat 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 three were the sons of Noah. And all the people of the earth came from them.

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

Then Noah became a farmer and planted a grape-field.

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 drank too much, and lay without covering himself in his tent.

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

Then Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was without clothes. And he 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.

But Shem and Japheth took a coat and laid it upon their shoulders and walked in with their backs toward their father and covered him. Their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father without clothes.

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, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.

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

So he said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”

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

He also said, “Honor and thanks be to the Lord, the God of Shem. 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 make Japheth great. Let him live in the tents of Shem. And let Canaan be his servants.”

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

Noah lived 350 years after the flood.

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

So Noah lived 950 years, and he died.
