1 benedixitque Deus Noe et filiis eius et dixit ad eos
crescite et multiplicamini et implete terram
2 et terror vester ac tremor sit super cuncta animalia terrae
et super omnes volucres caeli cum universis quae moventur in terra
omnes pisces maris manui vestrae traditi sunt
3 et omne quod movetur et vivit erit vobis in cibum
quasi holera virentia tradidi vobis omnia
4 excepto quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis
5 sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum et de manu hominis
de manu viri et fratris eius requiram animam hominis
6 quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem fundetur sanguis illius
ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo
7 vos autem crescite et multiplicamini
et ingredimini super terram et implete eam
8 haec quoque dixit Deus ad Noe et ad filios eius cum eo
9 ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum et cum semine vestro post vos
10 et ad omnem animam viventem quae est vobiscum
tam in volucribus quam in iumentis et pecudibus terrae
cunctis quae egressa sunt de arca et universis bestiis terrae
11 statuam pactum meum vobiscum
et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram
12 dixitque Deus
hoc signum foederis quod do inter me et vos
et ad omnem animam viventem quae est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas
13 arcum meum ponam in nubibus
et erit signum foederis inter me et inter terram
14 cumque obduxero nubibus caelum
apparebit arcus meus in nubibus
15 et recordabor foederis mei vobiscum
et cum omni anima vivente quae carnem vegetat
et non erunt ultra aquae diluvii ad delendam universam carnem
16 eritque arcus in nubibus et videbo illum et recordabor foederis sempiterni
quod pactum est inter Deum et inter omnem animam viventem universae carnis quae est super terram
17 dixitque Deus Noe
hoc erit signum foederis quod constitui inter me et inter omnem carnem super terram
18 erant igitur filii Noe qui egressi sunt de arca Sem Ham et Iafeth
porro Ham ipse est pater Chanaan
19 tres isti sunt filii Noe et ab his disseminatum est omne hominum genus super universam terram
20 coepitque Noe vir agricola exercere terram
et plantavit vineam 21 bibensque vinum inebriatus est et nudatus in tabernaculo suo
22 quod cum vidisset Ham pater Chanaan
verenda scilicet patris sui esse nuda
nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras
23 at vero Sem et Iafeth pallium inposuerunt umeris suis
et incedentes retrorsum operuerunt verecunda patris sui
faciesque eorum aversae erant et patris virilia non viderunt
24 evigilans autem Noe ex vino
cum didicisset quae fecerat ei filius suus minor 25 ait
maledictus Chanaan
servus servorum erit fratribus suis
26 dixitque
benedictus Dominus Deus Sem
sit Chanaan servus eius
27 dilatet Deus Iafeth et habitet in tabernaculis Sem
sitque Chanaan servus eius
28 vixit autem Noe post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis
29 et impleti sunt omnes dies eius nongentorum quinquaginta annorum et mortuus est
1 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.
