King James Version KJV
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
1
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 The fear and dread of you shall rest on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the air, on everything that creeps on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.
2
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and just as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.
3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 Only, you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
4
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 For your own lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning: from every animal I will require it and from human beings, each one for the blood of another, I will require a reckoning for human life.
5
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoever sheds the blood of a human, by a human shall that person's blood be shed; for in his own image God made humankind.
6
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be fruitful and multiply, abound on the earth and multiply in it."
7
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him,
8
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 "As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you,
9
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark.
10
And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to 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 a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."
11
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 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:
12
And 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 have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
13
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,
14
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
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.
15
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more 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."
16
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon 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."
17
And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 The sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.
18
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled.
19

20 Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard.
20
And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent.
21
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
22
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
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 away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
23

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him,
24
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan; lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers."
25
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 He also said, "Blessed by the Lord my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.
26
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 May God make space for Japheth, and let him live in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave."
27
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
