創世記 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
上帝與挪亞立約
9 上帝賜福給挪亞和他的兒子們，對他們說：「你們要生養眾多，遍佈地面。 2 你們要管理所有地上的走獸、空中的飛鳥、地上的爬蟲和海裡的魚，牠們都必懼怕你們。 3 凡是活著的動物都可作你們的食物，就像菜蔬和穀物一樣。 4 只是你們不可吃帶血的肉，因為血就是生命。 5 凡是殺人害命的，無論人或獸，我必向他們追討血債。凡殺人的，我必追討他的血債。 6 凡殺害人的，也必被人殺害，因為人是上帝照著自己的形像造的。 7 你們要生養眾多，使地上人口興旺。」
8 上帝又對挪亞和他的兒子們說： 9 「我要跟你們和你們的後代， 10 以及所有和你們在一起、從方舟出來的飛禽走獸和牲畜等各種動物立約。 11 我與你們立約，不再叫洪水淹沒一切生靈，也不再讓洪水毀滅大地。」 12 上帝說：「我與你們及各種生靈立世代永存的約，我要給這個約一個記號。 13 我把彩虹放在雲中，作為我跟大地立約的記號。 14 我使雲彩覆蓋大地的時候，會有彩虹在雲中出現。 15 這樣我會記得我與你們及一切生靈所立的約，水就不會再氾濫淹滅所有生靈。 16 當我看見彩虹在雲中出現的時候，就會記得我與地上一切生靈立的永約。」 17 上帝對挪亞說：「彩虹是我與地上一切生靈立約的記號。」
挪亞和他的兒子
18 與挪亞一起出方舟的有他的兒子閃、含、雅弗。含是迦南的父親。 19 挪亞這三個兒子的後代遍佈天下。
20 挪亞做了農夫，他是第一個栽種葡萄園的人。 21 一天，他喝葡萄酒喝醉了，赤裸著身體躺在帳篷裡。 22 迦南的父親含看見他父親赤身露體，便去告訴外面的兩個弟兄。 23 於是，閃和雅弗拿了一件衣服搭在肩上，倒退著走進帳篷，把衣服蓋在父親身上，他們背著臉不看父親赤裸的身體。
24 挪亞酒醒後，知道了小兒子做的事， 25 就說：
「迦南該受咒詛，
必做他弟兄的僕人的僕人。」
26 又說：
「閃的上帝耶和華當受稱頌！
迦南要做閃的僕人。
27 願上帝擴張雅弗的疆界，
願他住在閃的帳篷裡，
讓迦南做他的僕人。」
28 洪水以後，挪亞又活了三百五十年。 29 挪亞一生共活了九百五十歲。

上帝与挪亚立约
9 上帝赐福给挪亚和他的儿子们，对他们说：“你们要生养众多，遍布地面。 2 你们要管理所有地上的走兽、空中的飞鸟、地上的爬虫和海里的鱼，它们都必惧怕你们。 3 凡是活着的动物都可作你们的食物，就像菜蔬和谷物一样。 4 只是你们不可吃带血的肉，因为血就是生命。 5 凡是杀人害命的，无论人或兽，我必向他们追讨血债。凡杀人的，我必追讨他的血债。 6 凡杀害人的，也必被人杀害，因为人是上帝照着自己的形象造的。 7 你们要生养众多，使地上人口兴旺。”
8 上帝又对挪亚和他的儿子们说： 9 “我要跟你们和你们的后代， 10 以及所有和你们在一起、从方舟出来的飞禽走兽和牲畜等各种动物立约。 11 我与你们立约，不再叫洪水淹没一切生灵，也不再让洪水毁灭大地。” 12 上帝说：“我与你们及各种生灵立世代永存的约，我要给这个约一个记号。 13 我把彩虹放在云中，作为我跟大地立约的记号。 14 我使云彩覆盖大地的时候，会有彩虹在云中出现。 15 这样我会记得我与你们及一切生灵所立的约，水就不会再泛滥淹灭所有生灵。 16 当我看见彩虹在云中出现的时候，就会记得我与地上一切生灵立的永约。” 17 上帝对挪亚说：“彩虹是我与地上一切生灵立约的记号。”
挪亚和他的儿子
18 与挪亚一起出方舟的有他的儿子闪、含、雅弗。含是迦南的父亲。 19 挪亚这三个儿子的后代遍布天下。
20 挪亚做了农夫，他是第一个栽种葡萄园的人。 21 一天，他喝葡萄酒喝醉了，赤裸着身体躺在帐篷里。 22 迦南的父亲含看见他父亲赤身露体，便去告诉外面的两个弟兄。 23 于是，闪和雅弗拿了一件衣服搭在肩上，倒退着走进帐篷，把衣服盖在父亲身上，他们背着脸不看父亲赤裸的身体。
24 挪亚酒醒后，知道了小儿子做的事， 25 就说：
“迦南该受咒诅，
必做他弟兄的仆人的仆人。”
26 又说：
“闪的上帝耶和华当受称颂！
迦南要做闪的仆人。
27 愿上帝扩张雅弗的疆界，
愿他住在闪的帐篷里，
让迦南做他的仆人。”
28 洪水以后，挪亚又活了三百五十年。 29 挪亚一生共活了九百五十岁。
Genesis 9
Common English Bible
God’s covenant with all life
9 God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fertile, multiply, and fill the earth. 2 All of the animals on the earth will fear you and dread you—all the birds in the skies, everything crawling on the ground, and all of the sea’s fish. They are in your power. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be your food. Just as I gave you the green grasses, I now give you everything. 4 However, you must not eat meat with its life, its blood, in it.
5 I will surely demand your blood for a human life,
from every living thing I will demand it.
From humans, from a man for his brother,
I will demand something for a human life.
6 Whoever sheds human blood,
by a human his blood will be shed;
for in the divine image
God made human beings.
7 As for you, be fertile and multiply. Populate the earth and multiply in it.” 8 God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9 “I am now setting up my covenant with you, with your descendants, 10 and with every living being with you—with the birds, with the large animals, and with all the animals of the earth, leaving the ark with you.[a] 11 I will set up my covenant with you so that never again will all life be cut off by floodwaters. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 God said, “This is the symbol of the covenant that I am drawing up between me and you and every living thing with you, on behalf of every future generation. 13 I have placed my bow in the clouds; it will be the symbol of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember the covenant between me and you and every living being among all the creatures. Floodwaters will never again destroy all creatures. 16 The bow will be in the clouds, and upon seeing it I will remember the enduring covenant between God and every living being of all the earth’s creatures.” 17 God said to Noah, “This is the symbol of the covenant that I have set up between me and all creatures on earth.”
Shem’s blessing and Canaan’s curse
18 Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth came out of the ark. Now Ham was Canaan’s father. 19 These were Noah’s three sons, and from them the whole earth was populated. 20 Noah, a farmer, made a new start and planted a vineyard. 21 He drank some of the wine, became drunk, and took off his clothes in his tent. 22 Ham, Canaan’s father, saw his father naked and told his two brothers who were outside. 23 Shem and Japheth took a robe, threw it over their shoulders, walked backward, and covered their naked father without looking at him because they turned away. 24 When Noah woke up from his wine, he discovered what his youngest son had done to him. 25 He said,
“Cursed be Canaan:
the lowest servant
he will be for his brothers.”
26 He also said,
“Bless the Lord,
the God of Shem;
Canaan will be his servant.
27 May God give space[b] to Japheth;
he will live in Shem’s tents,
and Canaan will be his servant.”
28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years. 29 In all, Noah lived 950 years; then he died.
