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 神赐福给挪亚和他的儿子， 对他们说： "你们要繁殖增多， 充满大地。
2 地上各样的走兽， 空中各样的飞鸟， 甚至地上各样爬行的动物， 和海里各样的鱼类， 都要对你们惊恐惧怕； 这一切都已经交在你们手里了。
3 所有活着的动物都可以作你们的食物， 我把这一切都赐给你们， 好像我把青菜赐给了你们一样。
4 唯独带着生命的肉， 就是带着血的肉， 你们却不可吃。
5 流你们的血、害你们生命的， 我必向他们追偿； 无论是走兽或人类， 甚至各人自己的兄弟， 我必要他偿命。
6 流人血的， 人也必流他的血； 因为 神造人， 是按着他自己的形象。
7 你们要繁殖增多； 要在地上滋生、增多。"
8 神告诉挪亚和与他在一起的儿子说：
9 "看哪， 我现在与你们和你们的后裔立约，
10 并且与所有跟你们在一起有生命的活物立约， 包括飞鸟、牲畜和所有地上的走兽， 就是与从方舟里出来的立约。
11 我要与你们立约： 凡有生命的必不再被洪水除灭， 再没有洪水来毁灭大地了。"
12 神说： "这就是我与你们， 与一切跟你们同在有生命的活物所立之约的记号， 直到万代；
13 我把天虹放在云彩中， 作我与大地立约的记号。
14 我使云彩遮盖大地时， 天虹出现云彩中，
15 我就记念我与你们和一切有生命的活物所立的约： 水不再成为洪水， 来毁灭凡有生命的。
16 天虹在云彩中出现， 我看见了就记念我与地上一切有生命的活物， 所立的永约。"
17 神对挪亚说： "这就是我与地上凡有生命的立约的记号。"
18 挪亚的儿子， 从方舟里出来的， 就是闪、含、雅弗； 含是迦南的父亲。
19 这三个人是挪亚的儿子， 全地的人都是从这些人播散开来的。
20 挪亚作起农夫来， 栽种葡萄园。
21 他喝酒， 喝醉了， 就在帐棚里光着身子。
22 迦南的父亲含看见了自己父亲的下体， 就去告诉在外面的两个兄弟。
23 于是， 闪和雅弗二人拿了件外衣， 搭在自己的肩膀上， 倒退着进去， 盖上他们父亲的下体； 因为他们背着脸， 所以没有看见他们父亲的下体。
24 挪亚酒醒以后， 知道小儿子对他所作的事，
25 就说： "迦南应当受咒诅， 他必给自己的兄弟， 作奴仆的奴仆。"
26 又说： "耶和华， 闪的 神， 是应当称颂的； 愿迦南作他的奴仆。
27 愿 神使雅弗扩展， 使雅弗住在闪的帐棚里； 愿迦南作他的奴仆。"
28 洪水以后， 挪亚又活了三百五十年。
29 挪亚共活了九百五十岁， 就死了。
