Genesis 9 (WEBP)

[1] God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
[2] The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
[3] Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
[4] But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
[5] I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
[6] Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
[7] Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
[8] God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
[9] “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
[10] and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
[11] I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
[12] 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 set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
[14] When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
[15] I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
[16] The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
[17] God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
[18] The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
[19] These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
[20] Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
[21] He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
[22] Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
[23] Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
[24] Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
[25] He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
[26] He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
[27] May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
[28] Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
[29] All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.

[1] και ηυλογησεν ο θεος τον νωε και τους υιους αυτου και ειπεν αυτοις αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και πληρωσατε την γην και κατακυριευσατε αυτης
[2] και ο τρομος υμων και ο φοβος εσται επι πασιν τοις θηριοις της γης και επι παντα τα ορνεα του ουρανου και επι παντα τα κινουμενα επι της γης και επι παντας τους ιχθυας της θαλασσης υπο χειρας υμιν δεδωκα
[3] και παν ερπετον ο εστιν ζων υμιν εσται εις βρωσιν ως λαχανα χορτου δεδωκα υμιν τα παντα
[4] πλην κρεας εν αιματι ψυχης ου φαγεσθε
[5] και γαρ το υμετερον αιμα των ψυχων υμων εκζητησω εκ χειρος παντων των θηριων εκζητησω αυτο και εκ χειρος ανθρωπου αδελφου εκζητησω την ψυχην του ανθρωπου
[6] ο εκχεων αιμα ανθρωπου αντι του αιματος αυτου εκχυθησεται οτι εν εικονι θεου εποιησα τον ανθρωπον
[7] υμεις δε αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και πληρωσατε την γην και πληθυνεσθε επ αυτης
[8] και ειπεν ο θεος τω νωε και τοις υιοις αυτου μετ αυτου λεγων
[9] εγω ιδου ανιστημι την διαθηκην μου υμιν και τω σπερματι υμων μεθ υμας
[10] και παση ψυχη τη ζωση μεθ υμων απο ορνεων και απο κτηνων και πασι τοις θηριοις της γης οσα μεθ υμων απο παντων των εξελθοντων εκ της κιβωτου
[11] και στησω την διαθηκην μου προς υμας και ουκ αποθανειται πασα σαρξ ετι απο του υδατος του κατακλυσμου και ουκ εσται ετι κατακλυσμος υδατος του καταφθειραι πασαν την γην
[12] και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος προς νωε τουτο το σημειον της διαθηκης ο εγω διδωμι ανα μεσον εμου και υμων και ανα μεσον πασης ψυχης ζωσης η εστιν μεθ υμων εις γενεας αιωνιους
[13] το τοξον μου τιθημι εν τη νεφελη και εσται εις σημειον διαθηκης ανα μεσον εμου και της γης
[14] και εσται εν τω συννεφειν με νεφελας επι την γην οφθησεται το τοξον μου εν τη νεφελη
[15] και μνησθησομαι της διαθηκης μου η εστιν ανα μεσον εμου και υμων και ανα μεσον πασης ψυχης ζωσης εν παση σαρκι και ουκ εσται ετι το υδωρ εις κατακλυσμον ωστε εξαλειψαι πασαν σαρκα
[16] και εσται το τοξον μου εν τη νεφελη και οψομαι του μνησθηναι διαθηκην αιωνιον ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον πασης ψυχης ζωσης εν παση σαρκι η εστιν επι της γης
[17] και ειπεν ο θεος τω νωε τουτο το σημειον της διαθηκης ης διεθεμην ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον πασης σαρκος η εστιν επι της γης
[18] ησαν δε οι υιοι νωε οι εξελθοντες εκ της κιβωτου σημ χαμ ιαφεθ χαμ ην πατηρ χανααν
[19] τρεις ουτοι εισιν οι υιοι νωε απο τουτων διεσπαρησαν επι πασαν την γην
[20] και ηρξατο νωε ανθρωπος γεωργος γης και εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα
[21] και επιεν εκ του οινου και εμεθυσθη και εγυμνωθη εν τω οικω αυτου
[22] και ειδεν χαμ ο πατηρ χανααν την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτου και εξελθων ανηγγειλεν τοις δυσιν αδελφοις αυτου εξω
[23] και λαβοντες σημ και ιαφεθ το ιματιον επεθεντο επι τα δυο νωτα αυτων και επορευθησαν οπισθοφανως και συνεκαλυψαν την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτων και το προσωπον αυτων οπισθοφανες και την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτων ουκ ειδον
[24] εξενηψεν δε νωε απο του οινου και εγνω οσα εποιησεν αυτω ο υιος αυτου ο νεωτερος
[25] και ειπεν επικαταρατος χανααν παις οικετης εσται τοις αδελφοις αυτου
[26] και ειπεν ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος του σημ και εσται χανααν παις αυτου
[27] πλατυναι ο θεος τω ιαφεθ και κατοικησατω εν τοις οικοις του σημ και γενηθητω χανααν παις αυτων
[28] εζησεν δε νωε μετα τον κατακλυσμον τριακοσια πεντηκοντα ετη
[29] και εγενοντο πασαι αι ημεραι νωε εννακοσια πεντηκοντα ετη και απεθανεν
