Genesis 9
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.
1Benedixitque Deus Noë et filiis ejus. Et dixit ad eos: Crescite, et multiplicamini, et replete terram.
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, and upon all wherewith the ground teemeth, and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
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.
3Every moving thing that liveth shall be for food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
3Et omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum: quasi olera virentia tradidi vobis omnia.
4Only flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
4Excepto, quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis.
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, even at the hand of every man's 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.
6Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made He man.
6Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem, fundetur sanguis illius: ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.
7And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.'
7Vos autem crescite et multiplicamini, et ingredimini super terram, et implete eam.
8And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:
8Hæc quoque dixit Deus ad Noë, et ad filios ejus cum eo:
9'As for Me, behold, I 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 creature that is with you, the fowl, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast 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.
11And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy 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 token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature 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 have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.
13arcum meum ponam in nubibus, et erit signum fœderis inter me et inter terram.
14And it shall come to pass, when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the cloud,
14Cumque obduxero nubibus cælum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus:
15that 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.
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 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.'
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 unto Noah: 'This is the token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.'
17Dixitque Deus ad Noë: Hoc erit signum fœderis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram.
18And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
18Erant ergo filii Noë, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham et Japheth: porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.
19These three were the sons of Noah, and of these was the whole earth overspread.
19Tres isti filii sunt Noë: et ab his disseminatum est omne genus hominum super universam terram.
20And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard.
20Cœpitque Noë vir agricola exercere terram, et plantavit vineam.
21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
21Bibensque vinum inebriatus est, et nudatus in tabernaculo suo.
22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
22Quod cum vidisset Cham, pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata, nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras.
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.
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 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
24Evigilans autem Noë ex vino, cum didicisset quæ fecerat ei filius suus minor,
25And he said: Cursed be Canaan; 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, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
26Dixitque: [Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem, sit Chanaan servus ejus.
27God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
27Dilatet Deus Japheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem, sitque Chanaan servus ejus.]
28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
28Vixit autem Noë post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis.
29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
29Et impleti sunt omnes dies ejus nongentorum quinquaginta annorum: et mortuus est.
