1Benedixitque Deus Noë et filiis ejus. Et dixit ad eos: Crescite, et multiplicamini, et replete terram.
1God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
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.
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.
3Et omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum: quasi olera virentia tradidi vobis omnia.
3Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
4Excepto, quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis.
4But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
5Sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum: et de manu hominis, de manu viri, et fratris ejus requiram animam hominis.
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.
6Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem, fundetur sanguis illius: ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.
6Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
7Vos autem crescite et multiplicamini, et ingredimini super terram, et implete eam.
7Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly on the earth, and multiply in it.”
8Hæc quoque dixit Deus ad Noë, et ad filios ejus cum eo:
8God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et cum semine vestro post vos:
9“As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
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.
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.
11Statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii, neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram.
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.”
12Dixitque Deus: Hoc signum fœderis quod do inter me et vos, et ad omnem animam viventem, quæ est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas:
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:
13arcum meum ponam in nubibus, et erit signum fœderis inter me et inter terram.
13I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
14Cumque obduxero nubibus cælum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus:
14When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15et recordabor fœderis mei vobiscum, et cum omni anima vivente quæ carnem vegetat: et non erunt ultra aquæ diluvii ad delendum universam carnem.
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.
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.
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.”
17Dixitque Deus ad Noë: Hoc erit signum fœderis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram.
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.”
18Erant ergo filii Noë, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham et Japheth: porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.
18The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19Tres isti filii sunt Noë: et ab his disseminatum est omne genus hominum super universam terram.
19These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20Cœpitque Noë vir agricola exercere terram, et plantavit vineam.
20Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
21Bibensque vinum inebriatus est, et nudatus in tabernaculo suo.
21He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22Quod cum vidisset Cham, pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata, nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras.
22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
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.
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.
24Evigilans autem Noë ex vino, cum didicisset quæ fecerat ei filius suus minor,
24Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25ait: [Maledictus Chanaan, servus servorum erit fratribus suis.]
25He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26Dixitque: [Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem, sit Chanaan servus ejus.
26He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27Dilatet Deus Japheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem, sitque Chanaan servus ejus.]
27May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
28Vixit autem Noë post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis.
28Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
29Et impleti sunt omnes dies ejus nongentorum quinquaginta annorum: et mortuus est.
29All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
