Nakipagtipan ang Diyos kay Noe

Si(A) Noe at ang kanyang mga anak ay binasbasan ng Diyos: “Magkaroon kayo ng maraming anak at punuin ninyo ng inyong supling ang buong daigdig. Matatakot sa inyo ang lahat ng hayop, pati mga ibon, ang lahat ng gumagapang sa lupa at ang mga isda. Ang lahat ng ito ay inilalagay ko sa ilalim ng inyong kapangyarihan. Gaya ng mga halamang luntian na inyong kinakain, lahat ng mga ito'y maaari na ninyong kainin. Huwag(B) lamang ninyong kakainin ang karneng hindi inalisan ng dugo sapagkat nasa dugo ang buhay. Mananagot ang sinumang papatay sa inyo, maging ito'y isang hayop. Pagbabayarin ko ang sinumang taong papatay ng kanyang kapwa.

Sinumang(C) pumatay ng kanyang kapwa,
    buhay ang kabayaran sa kanyang ginawa,
sapagkat sa larawan ng Diyos ang tao'y nilikha.

“Magkaroon(D) nga kayo ng maraming anak upang manirahan sila sa buong daigdig.”

Sinabi ng Diyos kay Noe at sa kanyang mga anak, “Ako'y nakikipagtipan sa inyo ngayon, pati na sa inyong magiging mga anak, 10 gayon din sa lahat ng mga bagay na may buhay sa paligid ninyo—sa mga ibon, pati sa maaamo't maiilap na hayop na kasama ninyo sa barko. 11 Ito ang aking pakikipagtipan sa inyo: Kailanma'y hindi ko na lilipulin sa pamamagitan ng baha ang lahat ng may buhay. Wala nang baha na gugunaw sa daigdig.” 12 Sinabi pa ng Diyos, “Ito ang magiging palatandaan ng walang hanggang tipan na ginagawa ko sa inyo at sa lahat ng hayop: 13 Palilitawin ko sa mga ulap ang aking bahaghari, at iyan ang magiging tanda ng aking pakikipagtipan sa inyo. 14 Tuwing magkakaroon ng ulap at lilitaw ang bahaghari, 15 aalalahanin ko ang aking pangako sa inyo at sa lahat ng hayop. Hindi ko na lilipulin sa baha ang lahat ng may buhay. 16 Tuwing lilitaw ang bahaghari, maaalala ko ang walang hanggang tipan na ginawa ko sa inyo at sa lahat ng may buhay sa balat ng lupa.”

17 At sinabi ng Diyos kay Noe, “Ito ang tanda ng aking pangako sa lahat ng nabubuhay sa lupa.”

Si Noe at ang Kanyang mga Anak

18 Ang mga anak ni Noe na kasama niyang lumabas sa barko ay sina Shem, Jafet at Ham na ama ni Canaan. 19 Ang tatlong ito ang pinagmulan ng lahat ng tao sa daigdig.

20 Si Noe ay isang magsasaka at siya ang kauna-unahang nagbukid ng ubasan. 21 Minsan, uminom siya ng alak at nalasing. Nakatulog siyang hubad na hubad sa loob ng kanyang tolda. 22 Sa gayong ayos, nakita siya ni Ham ang ama ni Canaan at ibinalita ito sa kanyang mga kapatid. 23 Kaya't kumuha sina Shem at Jafet ng balabal, iniladlad sa likuran nila at magkatuwang na lumakad nang patalikod patungo sa tolda. Tinakpan nila ang katawan ng kanilang ama. Ayaw nilang makita ang kahubaran ng kanilang ama. 24 Nang mawala na ang kalasingan ni Noe, at malaman ang ginawa ng bunsong anak, 25 sinabi niya:

“O ikaw, Canaan, ngayo'y susumpain,
    sa mga kapatid mo ika'y paaalipin.”
26 Sinabi rin niya,
“Purihin si Yahweh, ang Diyos ni Shem,
    itong si Canaa'y maglilingkod kay Shem.
27 Palawakin nawa ng Diyos ang lupain ni Jafet.[a]
    Sa lahi ni Shem, sila'y mapipisan,
    at paglilingkuran si Jafet nitong si Canaan.”

28 Si Noe ay nabuhay pa nang 350 taon pagkatapos ng baha, 29 kaya't umabot siya sa gulang na 950 taon bago namatay.

  1. 27 JAFET: Sa wikang Hebreo, ang mga salitang “Jafet” at “Palawakin” ay magkasintunog .

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

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.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

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.

Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

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.

God’s Promise to Noah

So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: (A)“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. (B)And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. (C)Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you (D)all things, even as the (E)green herbs. (F)But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; (G)from the hand of every beast I will require it, and (H)from the hand of man. From the hand of every (I)man’s brother I will require the life of man.

“Whoever (J)sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed;
(K)For in the image of God
He made man.
And as for you, (L)be fruitful and multiply;
Bring forth abundantly in the earth
And multiply in it.”

Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: “And as for Me, (M)behold, I establish (N)My covenant with you and with your [a]descendants after you, 10 (O)and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. 11 Thus (P)I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12 And God said: (Q)“This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set (R)My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and (S)I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember (T)the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

Noah and His Sons

18 Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (U)And Ham was the father of Canaan. 19 (V)These three were the sons of Noah, (W)and from these the whole earth was populated.

20 And Noah began to be (X)a farmer, and he planted a vineyard. 21 Then he drank of the wine (Y)and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 (Z)But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were [b]turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. 25 Then he said:

(AA)“Cursed be Canaan;
A (AB)servant of servants
He shall be to his brethren.”

26 And he said:

(AC)“Blessed be the Lord,
The God of Shem,
And may Canaan be his servant.
27 May God (AD)enlarge Japheth,
(AE)And may he dwell in the tents of Shem;
And may Canaan be his servant.”

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
