Genesis 9

New Living Translation NLT

1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth.

2 All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power.

3 I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.

4 But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.

5 “And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person’s life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.

6 If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image.

7 Now be fruitful and multiply, and repopulate the earth.”

8 Then God told Noah and his sons,

9 “I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants,

10 and with all the animals that were on the boat with you—the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals—every living creature on earth.

11 Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you. Never again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a flood destroy the earth.”

12 Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come.

13 I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth.

14 When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds,

15 and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.

16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”

17 Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat with their father were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham is the father of Canaan.)

19 From these three sons of Noah came all the people who now populate the earth.

20 After the flood, Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.

21 One day he drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and went outside and told his brothers.

23 Then Shem and Japheth took a robe, held it over their shoulders, and backed into the tent to cover their father. As they did this, they looked the other way so they would not see him naked.

24 When Noah woke up from his stupor, he learned what Ham, his youngest son, had done.

25 Then he cursed Canaan, the son of Ham: “May Canaan be cursed! May he be the lowest of servants to his relatives.”

26 Then Noah said, “May the LORD, the God of Shem, be blessed, and may Canaan be his servant!

27 May God expand the territory of Japheth! May Japheth share the prosperity of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

28 Noah lived another 350 years after the great flood.

29 He lived 950 years, and then he died.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God blessed Noah and his sons: He said, "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill the Earth!

2 Every living creature - birds, animals, fish - will fall under your spell and be afraid of you. You're responsible for them.

3 All living creatures are yours for food; just as I gave you the plants, now I give you everything else.

4 Except for meat with its lifeblood still in it - don't eat that.

5 "But your own lifeblood I will avenge; I will avenge it against both animals and other humans.

6 Whoever sheds human blood, by humans let his blood be shed, Because God made humans in his image reflecting God's very nature.

7 You're here to bear fruit, reproduce, lavish life on the Earth, live bountifully!"

8 Then God spoke to Noah and his sons:

9 "I'm setting up my covenant with you including your children who will come after you,

10 along with everything alive around you - birds, farm animals, wild animals - that came out of the ship with you.

11 I'm setting up my covenant with you that never again will everything living be destroyed by floodwaters; no, never again will a flood destroy the Earth."

12 God continued, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and everything living around you and everyone living after you.

13 I'm putting my rainbow in the clouds, a sign of the covenant between me and the Earth.

14 From now on, when I form a cloud over the Earth and the rainbow appears in the cloud,

15 I'll remember my covenant between me and you and everything living, that never again will floodwaters destroy all life.

16 When the rainbow appears in the cloud, I'll see it and remember the eternal covenant between God and everything living, every last living creature on Earth."

17 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I've set up between me and everything living on the Earth."

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.

19 These are the three sons of Noah; from these three the whole Earth was populated.

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

21 He drank from its wine, got drunk and passed out, naked in his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and told his two brothers who were outside the tent.

23 Shem and Japheth took a cloak, held it between them from their shoulders, walked backwards and covered their father's nakedness, keeping their faces turned away so they did not see their father's exposed body.

24 When Noah woke up with his hangover, he learned what his youngest son had done.

25 He said, Cursed be Canaan! A slave of slaves, a slave to his brothers!

26 Blessed be God, the God of Shem, but Canaan shall be his slave.

27 God prosper Japheth, living spaciously in the tents of Shem. But Canaan shall be his slave.

28 Noah lived another 350 years following the flood.

29 He lived a total of 950 years. And he died.
