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)

God’s Promise to Noah
9 So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: (A)“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 (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. 3 (C)Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you (D)all things, even as the (E)green herbs. 4 (F)But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5 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.
6 “Whoever (J)sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed;
(K)For in the image of God
He made man.
7 And as for you, (L)be fruitful and multiply;
Bring forth abundantly in the earth
And multiply in it.”
8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: 9 “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:
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.

Giao Ước Của Chúa Với Nô-ê
9 Đức Chúa Trời ban phước cho Nô-ê và các con trai ông. Ngài nói với họ rằng: “Hãy sinh sản và gia tăng phủ đầy trái đất. 2 Tất cả các loài thú vật trên mặt đất, các loài chim trên trời, các loài sống động trên đất và các loài cá dưới biển đều sẽ sợ hãi các con; chúng đều được giao phó vào tay các con. 3 Mọi loài vật sống động trên đất sẽ dùng làm thực phẩm cho các con cũng như cây, rau xanh mà Ta đã ban cho các con.
4 Nhưng thịt còn sự sống, còn huyết thì các con đừng ăn. 5 Chắc chắn Ta sẽ đòi lại máu của sinh mạng các con, Ta sẽ đòi lại nơi mọi loài thú, nơi tay loài người và Ta sẽ đòi lại nơi tay mỗi người mạng sống của đồng loại nó.
6 Kẻ nào làm đổ máu người
Sẽ bị người khác làm đổ máu lại,
Vì Đức Chúa Trời đã dựng nên loài người
Theo hình ảnh Ngài.
7 Vậy các con hãy sinh sản và gia tăng nhiều gấp bội trên đất!”
8 Đức Chúa Trời nói với Nô-ê và các con trai đang ở với ông: 9 “Bây giờ, Ta lập giao ước với các con và dòng dõi mai sau của các con, 10 và với mọi loài sinh vật ở với các con, với loài chim, loài súc vật, loài dã thú trên đất, với tất cả các loài vật đã ra khỏi tàu, tức là mọi loài vật trên đất. 11 Ta lập giao ước Ta với các con, mọi loài sinh vật sẽ không bị nước lụt trừ diệt nữa, sẽ chẳng bao giờ có nước lụt tiêu hủy trái đất nữa.”
12 Đức Chúa Trời phán: “Đây là dấu hiệu về giao ước Ta lập giữa Ta với các con và mọi sinh vật ở với các con, cho đến các thế hệ mãi về sau. 13 Ta đặt cầu vồng của Ta trên mây, đó sẽ là dấu hiệu về giao ước giữa Ta và trái đất. 14 Khi nào Ta gom góp mây trên đất, và cầu vồng hiện ra[a] trong mây 15 thì Ta sẽ nhớ giao ước Ta đã lập cùng các con và cùng mọi loài sinh vật, và nước sẽ chẳng trở thành nạn lụt lớn tiêu diệt mọi sự sống nữa. 16 Khi cầu vồng mọc trên mây, Ta sẽ thấy nó mà nhớ giao ước đời đời giữa Ta và mọi sinh vật sống trên mặt đất.”
17 Vậy Đức Chúa Trời nói với Nô-ê: “Đây là dấu hiệu về giao ước mà Ta đã lập giữa Ta và mọi loài sinh vật trên đất.”
Các Con Trai Của Nô-ê
18 Các con trai của Nô-ê đã ra khỏi tàu là: Sem, Cham và Gia-phết. Cham là cha của Ca-na-an. 19 Đó là ba con trai của Nô-ê, do họ mà có loài người tràn ra khắp mặt đất.
20 Nô-ê là nhà nông, nên bắt đầu trồng một vườn nho. 21 Ông uống rượu say và nằm trần truồng trong trại mình. 22 Cham, cha của Ca-na-an, thấy cha mình trần truồng thì kể lại cho anh và em mình ở bên ngoài. 23 Sem và Gia-phết lấy áo vắt lên vai mình rồi đi thụt lùi đến che đắp sự trần truồng của cha mình; mặt họ nhìn về phía trước[b] nên chẳng nhìn thấy sự trần truồng của cha mình.
24 Khi Nô-ê tỉnh rượu, hay biết được điều đứa con thứ[c] đã làm cho mình, 25 thì nói rằng:
“Nguyện Ca-na-an bị rủa sả!
Nó sẽ làm nô lệ thấp hèn
Cho các anh em nó.”
26 Ông tiếp:
“Chúc tụng CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời của Sem!
Nguyện Ca-na-an phải làm nô lệ cho Sem!
27 Nguyện xin Đức Chúa Trời cho Gia-phết phát triển,
Nó sẽ sống trong trại của Sem,
Và Ca-na-an sẽ làm nô lệ cho nó.”
28 Sau trận lụt, Nô-ê còn sống được ba trăm năm mươi năm nữa, 29 hưởng thọ được chín trăm năm mươi tuổi rồi qua đời.

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.
