Genesis 9

vayevarekh elohim et-noakh ve'et-banayw vayyomer lahem peru urevu umilu et-ha'arets

God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fertile and increase, and fill the earth.

umora'akhem vekhittekhem yihyeh al kol-khayyat ha'arets ve'al kol-of hashamayim bekhol asher tirmos ha'adamah uvekhol-dege hayyam beyedkhem nittanu

The fear and the dread of you shall be upon all the animals of the earth and upon all the birds of the sky—everything with which the earth is astir—and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hand.

kol-remes asher hu-khay lakhem yihyeh le'okhlah keyereq esev natatti lakhem et-kol

Every creature that lives shall be yours to eat; as with the green grasses, I give you all these.

akh-basar benafsho damo lo tokhelu

You must not, however, eat flesh with its life-blood in it.

ve'akh et-dimkhem lenafshotekhem edrosh miyyad kol-khayyah edreshennu umiyyad ha'adam miyyad ish akhiv edrosh et-nefesh ha'adam

But for your own life-blood I will require a reckoning: I will require it of every animal; of humankind, too, will I require a reckoning for human life, of everyone for each other!

shofekh dam ha'adam ba'adam damo yishafekh ki betselem elohim asah et-ha'adam

Whoever sheds human blood, By human [hands] shall their blood be shed; For in the image of God Was humankind made.

ve'attem peru urevu shirtsu va'arets urevu-vah

Be fertile, then, and increase; abound on the earth and increase on it.”

vayyomer elohim el-noakh ve'el-banayw itto lemor

And God said to Noah and to his sons with him,

va'ani hinni meqim et-beriti ittekhem ve'et-zarakhem akharekhem

“I now establish My covenant with you and your offspring to come,

ve'et kol-nefesh hakhayyah asher ittekhem ba'of babbehemah uvekhol-khayyat ha'arets ittekhem mikkol yotse'e hattevah lekhol khayyat ha'arets

and with every living thing that is with you—birds, cattle, and every wild beast as well—all that have come out of the ark, every living thing on earth.

vahaqimoti et-beriti ittekhem velo-yikkaret kol-basar od mimme hammabbul velo-yihyeh od mabbul leshakhet ha'arets

I will maintain My covenant with you: never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

vayyomer elohim zot ot-habberit asher-ani noten beni uvenekhem uven kol-nefesh khayyah asher ittekhem ledorot olam

God further said, “This is the sign that I set for the covenant between Me and you, and every living creature with you, for all ages to come.

et-qashti natatti be'anan vehayetah le'ot berit beni uven ha'arets

I have set My bow in the clouds, and it shall serve as a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

vehayah be'anni anan al-ha'arets veniratah haqqeshet be'anan

When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds,

vezakharti et-beriti asher beni uvenekhem uven kol-nefesh khayyah bekhol-basar velo-yihyeh od hammayim lemabbul leshakhet kol-basar

I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature among all flesh, so that the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

vehayetah haqqeshet be'anan ure'itiha lizkor berit olam ben elohim uven kol-nefesh khayyah bekhol-basar asher al-ha'arets

When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures, all flesh that is on earth.

vayyomer elohim el-noakh zot ot-habberit asher haqimoti beni uven kol-basar asher al-ha'arets

That,” God said to Noah, “shall be the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and all flesh that is on earth.”

vayyihyu vene-noakh hayyotse'im min-hattevah shem vekham vayafet vekham hu avi khena'an

The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth—Ham being the father of Canaan.

sheloshah elleh bene-noakh ume'elleh nafetsah khol-ha'arets

These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole world branched out.

vayyakhel noakh ish ha'adamah vayyitta karem

Noah, the tiller of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard.

vayyesht min-hayyayin vayyishkar vayyitgal betokh oholoh

He drank of the wine and became drunk, and he uncovered himself within his tent.

vayyar kham avi khena'an et ervat aviv vayyagged lishne-ekhayw bakhuts

Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

vayyiqqakh shem vayefet et-hassimlah vayyasimu al-shekhem shenehem vayyelekhu akhorannit vayekhassu et ervat avihem ufenehem akhorannit ve'ervat avihem lo ra'u

But Shem and Japheth took a cloth, placed it against both their backs and, walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness; their faces were turned the other way, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.

vayyiqets noakh miyyeno vayyeda et asher-asah lo beno haqqatan

When Noah woke up from his wine and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

vayyomer arur kena'an eved avadim yihyeh le'ekhayw

he said, “Cursed be Canaan; The lowest of slaves Shall he be to his brothers.”

vayyomer barukh Adonai elohe shem vihi khena'an eved lamo

And he said, “Blessed be the ETERNAL, The God of Shem; Let Canaan be a slave to them.

yaft elohim leyefet veyishkon be'ohole-shem vihi khena'an eved lamo

May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be a slave to them.”

vayekhi-noakh akhar hammabbul shelosh me'ot shanah vakhamishim shanah

Noah lived after the Flood 350 years.

vayyihyu kol-yeme-noakh tesha me'ot shanah vakhamishim shanah vayyamot

And all the days of Noah came to 950 years; then he died.
