1 וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶת־ נֹ֖חַ וְאֶת־ בָּנָ֑יו וַיֹּ֧אמֶר לָהֶ֛ם פְּר֥וּ וּרְב֖וּ וּמִלְא֥וּ אֶת־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 וּמוֹרַאֲכֶ֤ם וְחִתְּכֶם֙ יִֽהְיֶ֔ה עַ֚ל כָּל־ חַיַּ֣ת הָאָ֔רֶץ וְעַ֖ל כָּל־ ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בְּכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּרְמֹ֧שׂ הָֽאֲדָמָ֛ה וּֽבְכָל־ דְּגֵ֥י הַיָּ֖ם בְּיֶדְכֶ֥ם נִתָּֽנוּ׃ The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand. 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 כָּל־ רֶ֙מֶשׂ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הוּא־ חַ֔י לָכֶ֥ם יִהְיֶ֖ה לְאָכְלָ֑ה כְּיֶ֣רֶק עֵ֔שֶׂב נָתַ֥תִּי לָכֶ֖ם אֶת־ כֹּֽל׃ Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 אַךְ־ בָּשָׂ֕ר בְּנַפְשׁ֥וֹ דָמ֖וֹ לֹ֥א תֹאכֵֽלוּ׃ But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it. But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 וְאַ֨ךְ אֶת־ דִּמְכֶ֤ם לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם֙ אֶדְרֹ֔שׁ מִיַּ֥ד כָּל־ חַיָּ֖ה אֶדְרְשֶׁ֑נּוּ וּמִיַּ֣ד הָֽאָדָ֗ם מִיַּד֙ אִ֣ישׁ אָחִ֔יו אֶדְרֹ֖שׁ אֶת־ נֶ֥פֶשׁ הָֽאָדָֽם׃ And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man: 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 שֹׁפֵךְ֙ דַּ֣ם הָֽאָדָ֔ם בָּֽאָדָ֖ם דָּמ֣וֹ יִשָּׁפֵ֑ךְ כִּ֚י בְּצֶ֣לֶם אֱלֹהִ֔ים עָשָׂ֖ה אֶת־ הָאָדָֽם׃ Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 וְאַתֶּ֖ם פְּר֣וּ וּרְב֑וּ שִׁרְצ֥וּ בָאָ֖רֶץ וּרְבוּ־ בָֽהּ׃ ס But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.” And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל־ נֹ֔חַ וְאֶל־ בָּנָ֥יו אִתּ֖וֹ לֵאמֹֽר׃ Then God said to Noah and his sons with him, And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 וַאֲנִ֕י הִנְנִ֥י מֵקִ֛ים אֶת־ בְּרִיתִ֖י אִתְּכֶ֑ם וְאֶֽת־ זַרְעֲכֶ֖ם אַֽחֲרֵיכֶֽם׃ “Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־ נֶ֤פֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתְּכֶ֔ם בָּע֧וֹף בַּבְּהֵמָ֛ה וּֽבְכָל־ חַיַּ֥ת הָאָ֖רֶץ אִתְּכֶ֑ם מִכֹּל֙ יֹצְאֵ֣י הַתֵּבָ֔ה לְכֹ֖ל חַיַּ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ and with every living creature that was with you— the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth — every living thing that came out of the ark. 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 וַהֲקִמֹתִ֤י אֶת־ בְּרִיתִי֙ אִתְּכֶ֔ם וְלֹֽא־ יִכָּרֵ֧ת כָּל־ בָּשָׂ֛ר ע֖וֹד מִמֵּ֣י הַמַּבּ֑וּל וְלֹֽא־ יִהְיֶ֥ה ע֛וֹד מַבּ֖וּל לְשַׁחֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 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 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים זֹ֤את אֽוֹת־ הַבְּרִית֙ אֲשֶׁר־ אֲנִ֣י נֹתֵ֗ן בֵּינִי֙ וּבֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם וּבֵ֛ין כָּל־ נֶ֥פֶשׁ חַיָּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתְּכֶ֑ם לְדֹרֹ֖ת עוֹלָֽם׃ And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 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 אֶת־ קַשְׁתִּ֕י נָתַ֖תִּי בֶּֽעָנָ֑ן וְהָֽיְתָה֙ לְא֣וֹת בְּרִ֔ית בֵּינִ֖י וּבֵ֥ין הָאָֽרֶץ׃ I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 וְהָיָ֕ה בְּעַֽנְנִ֥י עָנָ֖ן עַל־ הָאָ֑רֶץ וְנִרְאֲתָ֥ה הַקֶּ֖שֶׁת בֶּעָנָֽן׃ Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 וְזָכַרְתִּ֣י אֶת־ בְּרִיתִ֗י אֲשֶׁ֤ר בֵּינִי֙ וּבֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם וּבֵ֛ין כָּל־ נֶ֥פֶשׁ חַיָּ֖ה בְּכָל־ בָּשָׂ֑ר וְלֹֽא־ יִֽהְיֶ֨ה ע֤וֹד הַמַּ֙יִם֙ לְמַבּ֔וּל לְשַׁחֵ֖ת כָּל־ בָּשָֽׂר׃ I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 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 וְהָיְתָ֥ה הַקֶּ֖שֶׁת בֶּֽעָנָ֑ן וּרְאִיתִ֗יהָ לִזְכֹּר֙ בְּרִ֣ית עוֹלָ֔ם בֵּ֣ין אֱלֹהִ֔ים וּבֵין֙ כָּל־ נֶ֣פֶשׁ חַיָּ֔ה בְּכָל־ בָּשָׂ֖ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.” 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 וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶל־ נֹ֑חַ זֹ֤את אֽוֹת־ הַבְּרִית֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֲקִמֹ֔תִי בֵּינִ֕י וּבֵ֥ין כָּל־ בָּשָׂ֖ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ פ So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.” 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 וַיִּֽהְי֣וּ בְנֵי־ נֹ֗חַ הַיֹּֽצְאִים֙ מִן־ הַתֵּבָ֔ה שֵׁ֖ם וְחָ֣ם וָיָ֑פֶת וְחָ֕ם ה֖וּא אֲבִ֥י כְנָֽעַן׃ The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan. 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 שְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵי־ נֹ֑חַ וּמֵאֵ֖לֶּה נָֽפְצָ֥ה כָל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃ These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated. These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 וַיָּ֥חֶל נֹ֖חַ אִ֣ישׁ הָֽאֲדָמָ֑ה וַיִּטַּ֖ע כָּֽרֶם׃ Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 וַיֵּ֥שְׁתְּ מִן־ הַיַּ֖יִן וַיִּשְׁכָּ֑ר וַיִּתְגַּ֖ל בְּת֥וֹךְ אָהֳלֹֽה׃‪‬ But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 וַיַּ֗רְא חָ֚ם אֲבִ֣י כְנַ֔עַן אֵ֖ת עֶרְוַ֣ת אָבִ֑יו וַיַּגֵּ֥ד לִשְׁנֵֽי־ אֶחָ֖יו בַּחֽוּץ׃ And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 וַיִּקַּח֩ שֵׁ֨ם וָיֶ֜פֶת אֶת־ הַשִּׂמְלָ֗ה וַיָּשִׂ֙ימוּ֙ עַל־ שְׁכֶ֣ם שְׁנֵיהֶ֔ם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ אֲחֹ֣רַנִּ֔ית וַיְכַסּ֕וּ אֵ֖ת עֶרְוַ֣ת אֲבִיהֶ֑ם וּפְנֵיהֶם֙ אֲחֹ֣רַנִּ֔ית וְעֶרְוַ֥ת אֲבִיהֶ֖ם לֹ֥א רָאֽוּ׃ Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness. 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 וַיִּ֥יקֶץ נֹ֖חַ מִיֵּינ֑וֹ וַיֵּ֕דַע אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־ עָ֥שָׂה־ ל֖וֹ בְּנ֥וֹ הַקָּטָֽן׃ When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him, And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אָר֣וּר כְּנָ֑עַן עֶ֥בֶד עֲבָדִ֖ים יִֽהְיֶ֥ה לְאֶחָֽיו׃ he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.” And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר בָּר֥וּךְ יְהֹוָ֖ה אֱלֹ֣הֵי שֵׁ֑ם וִיהִ֥י כְנַ֖עַן עֶ֥בֶד לָֽמוֹ׃ He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem. And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 יַ֤פְתְּ אֱלֹהִים֙ לְיֶ֔פֶת וְיִשְׁכֹּ֖ן בְּאָֽהֳלֵי־ שֵׁ֑ם וִיהִ֥י כְנַ֖עַן עֶ֥בֶד לָֽמוֹ׃ May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.” God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 וַֽיְחִי־ נֹ֖חַ אַחַ֣ר הַמַּבּ֑וּל שְׁלֹ֤שׁ מֵאוֹת֙ שָׁנָ֔ה וַֽחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים שָׁנָֽה׃ After the flood, Noah lived 350 years. And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 וַיִּֽהְיוּ֙ כָּל־ יְמֵי־ נֹ֔חַ תְּשַׁ֤ע מֵאוֹת֙ שָׁנָ֔ה וַחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיָּמֹֽת׃ פ So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
