创世记 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
神赐福挪亚，与他立约
9 神赐福给挪亚和他的儿子，对他们说：“你们要繁衍增多，充满大地。 2 地上各样的走兽，空中各样的飞鸟，甚至地上各样爬行的动物，和海里各样的鱼类，都要对你们惊恐惧怕；这一切都已经交在你们手里了。 3 所有活着的动物都可以作你们的食物，我把这一切都赐给你们，好象我把青菜赐给了你们一样。 4 唯独带着生命的肉，就是带着血的肉，你们却不可吃。 5 流你们的血、害你们生命的，我必向他们追偿；无论是走兽或人类，甚至各人自己的兄弟，我必要他偿命。
6 流人血的，
人也必流他的血；
因为 神造人，
是按着他自己的形象。
7 你们要繁衍增多；
要在地上滋生、增多。”
8 神告诉挪亚和与他在一起的儿子说： 9 “看哪，我现在与你们和你们的后裔立约， 10 并且与所有跟你们在一起有生命的活物立约，包括飞鸟、牲畜和所有地上的走兽，就是与从方舟里出来的立约。 11 我要与你们立约：凡有生命的必不再被洪水除灭，再没有洪水来毁灭大地了。” 12 神说：“这就是我与你们，与一切跟你们同在有生命的活物所立之约的记号，直到万代； 13 我把彩虹放在云彩中，作我与大地立约的记号。 14 我使云彩遮盖大地时，彩虹出现云彩中， 15 我就记念我与你们和一切有生命的活物所立的约：
水不再成为洪水，
来毁灭凡有生命的。
16 彩虹在云彩中出现，
我看见了就记念
我与地上一切有生命的活物，所立的永约。”
17 神对挪亚说：“这就是我与地上凡有生命的立约的记号。”
挪亚的儿子
18 挪亚的儿子，从方舟里出来的，就是闪、含、雅弗；含是迦南的父亲。 19 这三个人是挪亚的儿子，全地的人都是从这些人播散开来的。
挪亚的过失
20 挪亚作起农夫来，栽种葡萄园。 21 他喝酒，喝醉了，就在帐棚里光着身子。 22 迦南的父亲含看见了自己父亲的下体，就去告诉在外面的两个兄弟。 23 于是，闪和雅弗二人拿了件外衣，搭在自己的肩膀上，倒退着进去，盖上他们父亲的下体；因为他们背着脸，所以没有看见他们父亲的下体。
挪亚对儿子的咒诅与祝福
24 挪亚酒醒以后，知道小儿子对他所作的事， 25 就说：
“迦南应当受咒诅，
他必给自己的兄弟，
作奴仆的奴仆。”
26 又说：
“耶和华，闪的 神，
是应当称颂的；愿迦南作他的奴仆。
27 愿 神使雅弗扩展，
使雅弗住在闪的帐棚里；
愿迦南作他的奴仆。”
挪亚逝世
28 洪水以后，挪亚又活了三百
五十年。 29 挪亚共活了九百五十岁，就死了。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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
Contemporary English Version
God's Promise to Noah
9 (A) God said to Noah and his sons:
I am giving you my blessing. Have a lot of children and grandchildren, so people will live everywhere on this earth. 2 All animals, birds, reptiles, and fish will be afraid of you. I have placed them under your control, 3 and I have given them to you for food. From now on, you may eat them, as well as the green plants that you have always eaten. 4 (B) But life is in the blood, and you must not eat any meat that still has blood in it. 5-6 (C) I created humans to be like me, and I will punish any animal or person that takes a human life. If an animal kills someone, that animal must die. And if a person takes the life of another, that person must be put to death.
7 (D) I want you and your descendants to have many children, so people will live everywhere on earth.
8 Again, God said to Noah and his sons:
9 I am going to make a solemn promise to you and to everyone who will live after you. 10 This includes the birds and the animals that came out of the boat. 11 I promise every living creature that the earth and those living on it will never again be destroyed by a flood.
12-13 The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth. It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever. 14 When I send clouds over the earth, and a rainbow appears in the sky, 15 I will remember my promise to you and to all other living creatures. Never again will I let floodwaters destroy all life. 16 When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will always remember the promise that I have made to every living creature. 17 The rainbow will be the sign of that solemn promise.
Noah and His Family
18 Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, left the boat. Ham later had a son named Canaan. 19 All people on earth are descendants of Noah's three sons.
20 Noah farmed the land and was the first to plant a vineyard. 21 One day he got drunk and was lying naked in his tent. 22 Ham entered the tent and saw him naked, then went back outside and told his brothers. 23 Shem and Japheth put a robe over their shoulders and walked backwards into the tent. Without looking at their father, they placed it over his body.
24 When Noah sobered up and learned what his youngest son had done, 25 he said,
“I now put a curse on Canaan!
He will be the lowest slave
of his brothers.
26 I ask the Lord my God
to bless Shem
and make Canaan his slave.
27 I pray God will give Japheth
more and more[a] land
and let him take over
the territory of Shem.
May Canaan be his slave.”
28 Noah lived 350 years after the flood 29 and died at the age of 950.
