Genesis 9
King James Version
9 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And 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; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And 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:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And 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.
16 And 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.
17 And 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.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And 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.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

9 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, (A)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. 2 (B)The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. 3 (C)Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And (D)as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its (E)life, that is, its blood. 5 And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: (F)from every beast I will require it and (G)from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man.
6 (H)“Whoever sheds the blood of man,
by man shall his blood be shed,
(I)for God made man in his own image.
7 And you,[a] be fruitful and multiply, increase greatly on the earth and multiply in it.”
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9 “Behold, (J)I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. 11 (K)I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 And God said, (L)“This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set (M)my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 (N)I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember (O)the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Noah's Descendants
18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were (P)Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and (Q)from these the people of the whole earth were dispersed.[b]
20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.[c] 21 He drank of the wine and became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine (R)and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
26 He also said,
“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem;
and let Canaan be his servant.
27 May God enlarge Japheth,[d]
and let him dwell in the tents of Shem,
and let Canaan be his servant.”
28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 All the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.

Khởi điểm mới
9 Thượng Đế ban phúc cho Nô-ê và các con trai ông như sau, “Hãy sinh thật đông con, làm tràn ngập đất. 2 Mọi loài thú trên đất, các loài chim trời, mọi loài bò sát trên đất, các loài cá dưới biển sẽ sợ các con. Ta đã trao chúng nó vào tay các con. 3 Mọi loài vật di động, mọi sinh vật là đồ ăn cho các con. Trước đây ta ban cho các con thực vật, nay các con có thể ăn đủ mọi thứ. 4 Nhưng các con không được ăn thịt còn máu trong đó, vì máu là sự sống. 5 Ta sẽ đòi sự sống nơi máu. Ta sẽ đòi mạng của súc vật nào giết người, ta sẽ đòi mạng của người nào cướp mạng sống kẻ khác.
6 Ai giết người sẽ bị người khác giết,
vì Thượng Đế tạo dựng nên con người theo hình ảnh Ngài.
7 Còn về phần con, Nô-ê, ta muốn con và gia đình con sinh thật nhiều con cái trên đất.”
8 Rồi Thượng Đế bảo Nô-ê và các con trai ông, 9 “Bây giờ ta lập ước với con và con cháu của con, 10 cùng những sinh vật ở với con; chim trời, các loài thú hiền hoà, các loài dã thú và những loài cùng ra khỏi tàu với con, tức mọi sinh vật sống trên đất. 11 Ta lập giao ước sau đây với con: Ta sẽ không bao giờ dùng nước lụt để tiêu diệt trái đất nữa. Sẽ không bao giờ có nước lụt tiêu diệt địa cầu nữa.”
12 Thượng Đế bảo, “Đây là dấu hiệu của giao ước giữa ta với con và các sinh vật cùng ở với con, cho đến mọi thế hệ mai sau. 13 Ta đặt cái mống [a] trên các đám mây để làm dấu hiệu giữa ta và địa cầu. 14 Khi ta đưa mây phủ trái đất và cái mống xuất hiện giữa các đám mây, 15 thì ta sẽ nhớ lại giao ước ta lập với con cùng các sinh vật. Nước lụt sẽ không bao giờ tiêu diệt các sinh vật trên đất nữa. 16 Khi cái mống xuất hiện trong mây, ta nhìn thấy và sẽ nhớ lại giao ước muôn đời giữa ta và các sinh vật trên địa cầu.”
17 Thượng Đế bảo Nô-ê, “Cái mống là dấu hiệu ta lập với các sinh vật trên đất.”
Nô-ê và các con trai ông
18 Các con trai cùng ra khỏi tàu với Nô-ê là Sem, Cham và Gia-phết. (Cham là cha của Ca-na-an.) 19 Đó là các con trai của Nô-ê. Tất cả dân tộc trên đất đều do ba người con trai ấy mà ra.
20 Nô-ê làm nghề nông và trồng một vườn nho. 21 Ông uống rượu nho đến nỗi say, rồi nằm trần truồng trong lều. 22 Cham, cha của Ca-na-an, thấy cha mình trần truồng thì đi ra kể lại cho hai anh em mình đang ở ngoài lều. 23 Sem và Gia-phết liền lấy một cái áo mang trên vai và đi giật lùi vào trong lều, lấy áo trùm lên cha mình. Họ quay mặt đi nên không thấy cha mình trần truồng.
24 Vì say rượu nên Nô-ê ngủ mê. Khi tỉnh dậy hay biết điều Cham, con út, làm cho mình, 25 liền bảo,
“Ca-na-an [b] sẽ bị nguyền rủa!
Nó sẽ làm nô lệ hạng bét
cho các anh nó.”
26 Nô-ê bảo,
“Chúc tụng CHÚA là Thượng Đế của Sem,
Cầu cho Ca-na-an làm nô lệ cho Sem.
27 Nguyền Thượng Đế ban thêm đất đai
cho Gia-phết.
Nguyền Gia-phết ở trong lều của Sem
và Ca-na-an làm nô lệ cho họ.”
28 Sau trận lụt lớn, Nô-ê sống thêm 350 năm nữa.
29 Ông hưởng thọ được 950 tuổi rồi qua đời.

God’s Covenant With Noah
9 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.(A) 2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.(B) 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you.(C) Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.(D)
4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.(E) 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting.(F) I will demand an accounting from every animal.(G) And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.(H)
6 “Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;(I)
for in the image of God(J)
has God made mankind.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”(K)
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with you(L) and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant(M) with you:(N) Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.(O)”
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant(P) I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:(Q) 13 I have set my rainbow(R) in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow(S) appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant(T) between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.(U) 16 Whenever the rainbow(V) appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant(W) between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant(X) I have established between me and all life on the earth.”
The Sons of Noah
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth.(Y) (Ham was the father of Canaan.)(Z) 19 These were the three sons of Noah,(AA) and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.(AB)
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded[a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine,(AC) he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked(AD) and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
26 He also said,
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!(AH)
May Canaan be the slave(AI) of Shem.
27 May God extend Japheth’s[b] territory;(AJ)
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,(AK)
and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.(AL)
