Genesis 9

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.

English Standard Version ESV

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2 The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered.

3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.

4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

5 And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man.

6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.

7 And you, be fruitful and multiply, teem on the earth and multiply in it."

8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him,

9 "Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you,

10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth.

11 I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:

13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,

15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and 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 sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

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

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the people of the whole earth were dispersed.

20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.

21 He drank of the wine and became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.

23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him,

25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers."

26 He also said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant."

28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years.

29 All the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
