Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.
1Benedixitque Deus Noë et filiis ejus. Et dixit ad eos: Crescite, et multiplicamini, et replete terram.
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.
2Et terror vester ac tremor sit super cuncta animalia terræ, et super omnes volucres cæli, cum universis quæ moventur super terram: omnes pisces maris manui vestræ traditi sunt.
3And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:
3Et omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum: quasi olera virentia tradidi vobis omnia.
4Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
4Excepto, quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis.
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.
5Sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum: et de manu hominis, de manu viri, et fratris ejus requiram animam hominis.
6Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.
6Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem, fundetur sanguis illius: ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.
7But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it.
7Vos autem crescite et multiplicamini, et ingredimini super terram, et implete eam.
8Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him,
8Hæc quoque dixit Deus ad Noë, et ad filios ejus cum eo:
9Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
9Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et cum semine vestro post vos:
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.
10et ad omnem animam viventem, quæ est vobiscum, tam in volucribus quam in jumentis et pecudibus terræ cunctis, quæ egressa sunt de arca, et universis bestiis terræ.
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.
11Statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii, neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram.
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.
12Dixitque Deus: Hoc signum fœderis quod do inter me et vos, et ad omnem animam viventem, quæ est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas:
13I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me, and between the earth.
13arcum meum ponam in nubibus, et erit signum fœderis inter me et inter terram.
14And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:
14Cumque obduxero nubibus cælum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus:
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.
15et recordabor fœderis mei vobiscum, et cum omni anima vivente quæ carnem vegetat: et non erunt ultra aquæ diluvii ad delendum universam carnem.
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.
16Eritque arcus in nubibus, et videbo illum, et recordabor fœderis sempiterni quod pactum est inter Deum et omnem animam viventem universæ carnis quæ est super terram.
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.
17Dixitque Deus ad Noë: Hoc erit signum fœderis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram.
18And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
18Erant ergo filii Noë, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham et Japheth: porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.
19These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
19Tres isti filii sunt Noë: et ab his disseminatum est omne genus hominum super universam terram.
20And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
20Cœpitque Noë vir agricola exercere terram, et plantavit vineam.
21And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
21Bibensque vinum inebriatus est, et nudatus in tabernaculo suo.
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.
22Quod cum vidisset Cham, pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata, nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras.
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.
23At vero Sem et Japheth pallium imposuerunt humeris suis, et incedentes retrorsum, operuerunt verenda patris sui: faciesque eorum aversæ erant, et patris virilia non viderunt.
24And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
24Evigilans autem Noë ex vino, cum didicisset quæ fecerat ei filius suus minor,
25He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
25ait: [Maledictus Chanaan, servus servorum erit fratribus suis.]
26And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.
26Dixitque: [Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem, sit Chanaan servus ejus.
27May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.
27Dilatet Deus Japheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem, sitque Chanaan servus ejus.]
28And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years:
28Vixit autem Noë post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis.
29And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
29Et impleti sunt omnes dies ejus nongentorum quinquaginta annorum: et mortuus est.
