Genesis 9

The Bible in Basic English BBE

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.

Good News Translation GNT

1 God blessed Noah and his sons and said, "Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth.

2 All the animals, birds, and fish will live in fear of you. They are all placed under your power.

3 Now you can eat them, as well as green plants; I give them all to you for food.

4 The one thing you must not eat is meat with blood still in it; I forbid this because the life is in the blood.

5 If anyone takes human life, he will be punished. I will punish with death any animal that takes a human life.

6 Human beings were made like God, so whoever murders one of them will be killed by someone else.

7 "You must have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth."

8 God said to Noah and his sons,

9 "I am now making my covenant with you and with your descendants,

10 and with all living beings - all birds and all animals - everything that came out of the boat with you.

11 With these words I make my covenant with you: I promise that never again will all living beings be destroyed by a flood; never again will a flood destroy the earth.

12 As a sign of this everlasting covenant which I am making with you and with all living beings,

13 I am putting my bow in the clouds. It will be the sign of my covenant with the world.

14 Whenever I cover the sky with clouds and the rainbow appears,

15 I will remember my promise to you and to all the animals that a flood will never again destroy all living beings.

16 When the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between me and all living beings on earth.

17 That is the sign of the promise which I am making to all living beings."

18 The sons of Noah who went out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)

19 These three sons of Noah were the ancestors of all the people on earth.

20 Noah, who was a farmer, was the first man to plant a vineyard.

21 After he drank some of the wine, he became drunk, took off his clothes, and lay naked in his tent.

22 When Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked, he went out and told his two brothers.

23 Then Shem and Japheth took a robe and held it behind them on their shoulders. They walked backward into the tent and covered their father, keeping their faces turned away so as not to see him naked.

24 When Noah sobered up and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25 he said, "A curse on Canaan! He will be a slave to his brothers.

26 Give praise to the Lord, the God of Shem! Canaan will be the slave of Shem.

27 May God cause Japheth to increase! May his descendants live with the people of Shem! Canaan will be the slave of Japheth."

28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years

29 and died at the age of 950.
