Génesis 9

Douay-Rheims Challoner (1752)

1And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase, and multiply, and fill the earth.

2And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea are delivered into your hand.

3And every thing that moveth, and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:

4Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.

5For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man.

6Whosoever shall shed man's blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.

7But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth and fill it.

8Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him:

9Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:

10And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds, as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.

11I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth.

12And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.

13I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me and between the earth.

14And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:

15And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.

16And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.

17And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant, which I have established, between me and all flesh upon the earth.

18And the sons of Noe, who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.

19These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.

20And Noe a husbandman began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.

21And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.

22Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father's nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.

23But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

24And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,

25He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.

27May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.

28And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y BENDIJO Dios á Noé y á sus hijos, y díjoles: Fructificad, y multiplicad, y henchid la tierra:

2Y 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 del mar: en vuestra mano son entregados.

3Todo lo que se mueve y vive, os será para mantenimiento: así como las legumbres y hierbas, os lo he dado todo.

4Empero carne con su vida, que es su sangre, no comeréis.

5Porque ciertamente demandaré la sangre de vuestras vidas; de mano de todo animal la demandaré, y de mano del hombre; de mano del varón su hermano demandaré la vida del hombre.

6El que derramare sangre del hombre, por el hombre su sangre será derramada; porque á imagen de Dios es hecho el hombre.

7Mas vosotros fructificad, y multiplicaos; procread abundantemente en la tierra, y multiplicaos en ella.

8Y habló Dios á Noé y á sus hijos con él, diciendo:

9Yo, he aquí que yo establezco mi pacto con vosotros, y con vuestra simiente después de vosotros;

10Y con toda alma viviente que está con vosotros, de aves, de animales, y de toda bestia de la tierra que está con vosotros; desde todos los que salieron del arca hasta todo animal de la tierra.

11Estableceré mi pacto con vosotros, y no fenecerá ya más toda carne con aguas de diluvio; ni habrá más diluvio para destruir la tierra.

12Y dijo Dios: Esta será la señal del pacto que yo establezco entre mí y vosotros y toda alma viviente que está con vosotros, por siglos perpetuos:

13Mi arco pondré en las nubes, el cual será por señal de convenio entre mí y la tierra.

14Y será que cuando haré venir nubes sobre la tierra, se dejará ver entonces mi arco en las nubes.

15Y acordarme he del pacto mío, que hay entre mí y vosotros y toda alma viviente de toda carne; y no serán más las aguas por diluvio para destruir toda carne.

16Y estará el arco en las nubes, y verlo he para acordarme del pacto perpetuo entre Dios y toda alma viviente, con toda carne que hay sobre la tierra.

17Dijo, pues, Dios á Noé: Esta será la señal del pacto que he establecido entre mí y toda carne que está sobre la tierra.

18Y los hijos de Noé que salieron del arca fueron Sem, Châm y Japhet: y Châm es el padre de Canaán.

19Estos tres son los hijos de Noé; y de ellos fué llena toda la tierra.

20Y comenzó Noé á labrar la tierra, y plantó una viña:

21Y bebió del vino, y se embriagó, y estaba descubierto en medio de su tienda.

22Y Châm, padre de Canaán, vió la desnudez de su padre, y díjolo á sus dos hermanos á la parte de afuera.

23Entonces Sem y Japhet tomaron la ropa, y la pusieron sobre sus propios hombros, y andando hacia atrás, cubrieron la desnudez de su padre, teniendo vueltos sus rostros, y así no vieron la desnudez de su padre.

24Y despertó Noé de su vino, y supo lo que había hecho con él su hijo el más joven;

25Y dijo: Maldito sea Canaán; siervo de siervos será á sus hermanos.

26Dijo más: Bendito Jehová el Dios de Sem, y séale Canaán siervo.

27Engrandezca Dios á Japhet, y habite en las tiendas de Sem, y séale Canaán siervo.

28Y vivió Noé después del diluvio trescientos y cincuenta años.

29Y fueron todos los días de Noé novecientos y cincuenta años; y murió.

King James Version

1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.

6Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

7And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

8And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

11And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

12And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

18And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

20And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

World English Bible

1God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.

2The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.

3Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.

4But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.

5I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.

6Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

7Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”

8God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9“As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

10and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.

11I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.

14When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

15I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

17God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

18The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.

19These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.

20Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.

21He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

23Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.

24Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

25He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”

26He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

27May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”

28Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.

29All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
