1 And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, Be fertile, and have increase, and make the earth full.2 And the fear of you will be strong in every beast of the earth and every bird of the air; everything which goes on the land, and all the fishes of the sea, are given into your hands.3 Every living and moving thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave you all green things.4 But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.5 And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man.6 Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his image.7 And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.8 And God said to Noah and to his sons,9 Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you,10 And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.11 And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.12 And God said, This is the sign of the agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations:13 I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.14 And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,15 And I will keep in mind the agreement between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flow of waters causing destruction to all flesh.16 And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.17 And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the agreement which I have made between me and all flesh on the earth.18 And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.19 These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled.20 In those days Noah became a farmer, and he made a vine-garden.21 And he took of the wine of it and was overcome by drink; and he was uncovered in his tent.22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father unclothed, and gave news of it to his two brothers outside.23 And Shem and Japheth took a robe, and putting it on their backs went in with their faces turned away, and put it over their father so that they might not see him unclothed.24 And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,25 Cursed be Canaan; let him be a servant of servants to his brothers.26 And he said, Praise to the Lord, the God of Shem; let Canaan be his servant.27 May God make Japheth great, and let his living-place be in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.28 And Noah went on living three hundred and fifty years after the great flow of waters;29 all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end.

1 Benedixitque Deus No et filiis ejus. Et dixit ad eos : Crescite, et multiplicamini, et replete terram. 2 Et terror vester ac tremor sit super cuncta animalia terr, et super omnes volucres cli, cum universis qu moventur super terram : omnes pisces maris manui vestr traditi sunt. 3 Et omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum : quasi olera 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 ejus 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 Hc quoque dixit Deus ad No, et ad filios ejus cum eo : 9 Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et cum semine vestro post vos : 10 et ad omnem animam viventem, qu est vobiscum, tam in volucribus quam in jumentis et pecudibus terr cunctis, qu egressa sunt de arca, et universis bestiis terr. 11 Statuam pactum meum vobiscum, et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii, neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram. 12 Dixitque Deus : Hoc signum fderis quod do inter me et vos, et ad omnem animam viventem, qu est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas : 13 arcum meum ponam in nubibus, et erit signum fderis inter me et inter terram. 14 Cumque obduxero nubibus clum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus : 15 et recordabor fderis mei vobiscum, et cum omni anima vivente qu carnem vegetat : et non erunt ultra aqu diluvii ad delendum universam carnem. 16 Eritque arcus in nubibus, et videbo illum, et recordabor fderis sempiterni quod pactum est inter Deum et omnem animam viventem univers carnis qu est super terram. 17 Dixitque Deus ad No : Hoc erit signum fderis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram.18 Erant ergo filii No, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham et Japheth : porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan. 19 Tres isti filii sunt No : et ab his disseminatum est omne genus hominum super universam terram. 20 Cpitque No vir agricola exercere terram, et plantavit vineam. 21 Bibensque vinum inebriatus est, et nudatus in tabernaculo suo. 22 Quod cum vidisset Cham, pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata, nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras. 23 At vero Sem et Japheth pallium imposuerunt humeris suis, et incedentes retrorsum, operuerunt verenda patris sui : faciesque eorum avers erant, et patris virilia non viderunt. 24 Evigilans autem No ex vino, cum didicisset qu fecerat ei filius suus minor, 25 ait : [Maledictus Chanaan,servus servorum erit fratribus suis.] 26 Dixitque : [Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem,sit Chanaan servus ejus.27 Dilatet Deus Japheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem,sitque Chanaan servus ejus.] 28 Vixit autem No post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis. 29 Et impleti sunt omnes dies ejus nongentorum quinquaginta annorum : et mortuus est.
