Genesis 9
The Message
9 1-4 God blessed Noah and his sons: He said, “Prosper! Reproduce! Fill the Earth! Every living creature—birds, animals, fish—will fall under your spell and be afraid of you. You’re responsible for them. All living creatures are yours for food; just as I gave you the plants, now I give you everything else. Except for meat with its lifeblood still in it—don’t eat that.
5 “But your own lifeblood I will avenge; I will avenge it against both animals and other humans.
6-7 Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans let his blood be shed,
Because God made humans in his image
reflecting God’s very nature.
You’re here to bear fruit, reproduce,
lavish life on the Earth, live bountifully!”
8-11 Then God spoke to Noah and his sons: “I’m setting up my covenant with you including your children who will come after you, along with everything alive around you—birds, farm animals, wild animals—that came out of the ship with you. I’m setting up my covenant with you that never again will everything living be destroyed by floodwaters; no, never again will a flood destroy the Earth.”
12-16 God continued, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and everything living around you and everyone living after you. I’m putting my rainbow in the clouds, a sign of the covenant between me and the Earth. From now on, when I form a cloud over the Earth and the rainbow appears in the cloud, I’ll remember my covenant between me and you and everything living, that never again will floodwaters destroy all life. When the rainbow appears in the cloud, I’ll see it and remember the eternal covenant between God and everything living, every last living creature on Earth.”
17 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I’ve set up between me and everything living on the Earth.”
18-19 The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. These are the three sons of Noah; from these three the whole Earth was populated.
20-23 Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard. He drank from its wine, got drunk and passed out, naked in his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and told his two brothers who were outside the tent. Shem and Japheth took a cloak, held it between them from their shoulders, walked backward and covered their father’s nakedness, keeping their faces turned away so they did not see their father’s exposed body.
24-27 When Noah woke up with his hangover, he learned what his youngest son had done. He said,
Cursed be Canaan! A slave of slaves,
a slave to his brothers!
Blessed be God, the God of Shem,
but Canaan shall be his slave.
God prosper Japheth,
living spaciously in the tents of Shem.
But Canaan shall be his slave.
28-29 Noah lived another 350 years following the flood. He lived a total of 950 years. And he died.

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)

Pacto de Dios con Noé
9 Y bendijo Dios a Noé y a sus hijos, y les dijo: Sed fecundos y multiplicaos, y llenad la tierra(A). 2 Y el temor y el terror de vosotros estarán sobre todos los animales de la tierra, y sobre todas las aves del cielo, y en todo lo que se arrastra sobre el suelo, y en todos los peces del mar; en vuestra mano son entregados. 3 Todo lo que se mueve y tiene vida os será para alimento: todo os lo doy como os di la hierba verde(B). 4 Pero carne con su vida, es decir, con su sangre(C), no comeréis. 5 Y ciertamente pediré cuenta de la sangre de vuestras vidas(D); de[a] todo animal la demandaré(E). Y de[b] todo hombre, del[c] hermano de todo hombre demandaré la vida del hombre.
6 El que derrame sangre de hombre,
por el hombre su sangre será derramada(F),
porque a imagen de Dios
hizo Él al hombre(G).
7 En cuanto a vosotros, sed fecundos y multiplicaos;
poblad en abundancia[d] la tierra y multiplicaos en ella(H).
8 Entonces habló Dios a Noé y a sus hijos que estaban con él, diciendo: 9 He aquí, yo establezco mi pacto con vosotros(I), y con vuestra descendencia[e] después de vosotros, 10 y con todo ser viviente que está con vosotros: aves, ganados y todos los animales de la tierra que están con vosotros; todos los que han salido del arca, todos los animales de la tierra. 11 Yo establezco mi pacto con vosotros, y nunca más volverá a ser exterminada[f] toda carne(J) por las aguas del diluvio, ni habrá más diluvio para destruir la tierra(K). 12 Y dijo Dios: Esta es la señal del pacto que hago entre yo y vosotros y todo ser viviente(L) que está con vosotros, por todas las generaciones[g]: 13 pongo mi arco en las nubes[h](M) y será por señal del[i] pacto entre yo y la tierra. 14 Y acontecerá que cuando haga venir nubes[j] sobre la tierra, se verá el arco en las nubes[k], 15 y me acordaré de mi pacto(N) que hay entre yo y vosotros y entre todo ser viviente de toda carne; y nunca más se convertirán las aguas en diluvio para destruir toda carne(O). 16 Cuando el arco esté en las nubes[l], lo miraré para acordarme del pacto eterno(P) entre Dios y todo ser viviente de toda carne que está sobre la tierra. 17 Y dijo Dios a Noé: Esta es la señal del pacto que he establecido entre yo y toda carne que está sobre la tierra.
Noé y sus hijos
18 Y los hijos de Noé que salieron del arca fueron Sem, Cam y Jafet; y Cam fue el padre de Canaán(Q). 19 Estos tres fueron los hijos de Noé, y de ellos se pobló[m] toda la tierra(R).
20 Entonces Noé comenzó a labrar la tierra[n], y plantó una viña. 21 Y bebió el vino y se embriagó(S), y se desnudó en medio de su tienda. 22 Y Cam, padre[o] de Canaán, vio la desnudez(T) de su padre, y se lo contó a sus dos hermanos que estaban afuera. 23 Entonces Sem y Jafet tomaron un manto, lo pusieron sobre sus hombros, y caminando hacia atrás cubrieron la desnudez de su padre; y sus rostros estaban vueltos, y no vieron la desnudez de su padre. 24 Cuando Noé despertó de su embriaguez[p], y supo lo que su hijo menor le había hecho, 25 dijo:
26 Dijo también:
Bendito sea el Señor(W),
el Dios de Sem;
y sea Canaán su siervo.
27 Engrandezca Dios a Jafet(X),
y habite en las tiendas de Sem;
y sea Canaán su siervo.
28 Y vivió Noé trescientos cincuenta años después del diluvio. 29 El total de los días de Noé fue de novecientos cincuenta años, y murió.
