God Blesses Noah and His Sons
1God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fertile, increase in number, and fill the earth. 2All the wild animals and all the birds will fear you and be terrified of you. Every creature that crawls on the ground and all the fish in the sea have been put under your control. 3Everything that lives and moves will be your food. I gave you green plants as food; I now give you everything else.
4“But you are not to eat meat with blood in it. (Blood is life.) 5In addition, I will demand your blood for your life. I will demand it from any animal or from any person. I will demand the life of any person ⌞who kills⌟ another person.
6Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans his blood will be shed,
because in the image of God, God made humans.
7Be fertile, and increase in number. Spread over the earth, and increase.”
God’s Promise—the Sign of the Rainbow
8God also said to Noah and his sons, 9“I am going to make my promise #9:9 Or “covenant.” to you, your descendants, 10and every living being that is with you—birds, domestic animals, and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ship—every living thing on earth. 11I am making my promise to you. Never again will all life be killed by floodwaters. Never again will there be a flood that destroys the earth.”
12God said, “This is the sign of the promise I am giving to you and every living being that is with you for generations to come. 13I will put my rainbow in the clouds to be a sign of my promise to the earth. 14Whenever I form clouds over the earth, a rainbow will appear in the clouds. 15Then I will remember my promise to you and every living animal. Never again will water become a flood to destroy all life. 16Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember my everlasting promise to every living animal on earth.”
17So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the promise I am making to all life on earth.”
Noah Curses Canaan but Blesses Shem and Japheth
18Noah’s sons, who came out of the ship, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 19These were Noah’s three sons. From them the whole earth was populated. Ham was the father of Canaan.#9:19 The second part of verse 18 (in Hebrew) has been placed just after verse 19 to express the complex Hebrew sentence structure more clearly in English.
20Noah, a farmer, was the first person to plant a vineyard. 21He drank some wine, got drunk, and lay naked inside his tent. 22Ham, father of Canaan, saw his father naked. So he went outside and told his two brothers.
23Shem and Japheth took a blanket and laid it over their shoulders. Then they walked in backwards and covered their father’s naked body. They turned their faces away so that they didn’t see their father naked.
24When Noah sobered up, he found out what his youngest son had done to him. 25So he said,
“Canaan is cursed!
He will be the lowest slave to his brothers.
26Praise the Lord, the God of Shem!
Canaan will be his slave.
27May God expand the territory of Japheth.#9:27 There is a play on words here between the Hebrew yapht (May God expand) and yepheth (Japheth).
May he live in the tents of Shem.
Canaan will be his slave.”
28Noah lived 350 years after the flood. 29Noah lived a total of 950 years; then he died.

Genesis 9

Ang Kasunduan ng Dios kay Noe
1Binasbasan ng Dios si Noe at ang mga anak niya at sinabi, “Magkaroon kayo ng mga anak para dumami at mangalat kayo sa buong mundo. 2Matatakot sa inyo ang lahat ng hayop: ang mga lumalakad, lumilipad, gumagapang, at ang mga nakatira sa tubig. Kayo ang maghahari sa kanilang lahat. 3Makakakain na kayo ngayon ng mga hayop. Ibinibigay ko ito sa inyo bilang pagkain, kagaya ng mga ibinigay ko sa inyo na mga pananim na makakain.
4“Pero huwag ninyong kakainin ang hayop na nang mamatay ay hindi lumabas ang dugo, dahil ang dugo ay simbolo ng buhay. 5Sisingilin ko ang sinumang papatay sa inyo, kahit ang mga hayop. Sisingilin ko ang sinumang papatay sa kanyang kapwa.
6“Ang sinumang pumatay sa kanyang kapwa ay papatayin din ng kanyang kapwa. Sapagkat ang tao ay ginawa ng Dios na kawangis niya. 7Ngayon, magkaroon kayo ng mga anak para dumami at mangalat sa buong mundo.”
8Sinabi pa ng Dios kay Noe at sa mga anak niya, 9-11“Ito ang kasunduan ko sa inyo at sa mga lahi ninyo, at sa lahat ng nabubuhay sa mundo pati sa lahat ng hayop na naging kasama ninyo sa barko: Hindi ko na muling lilipulin ang lahat ng nabubuhay sa pamamagitan ng baha. At wala nang baha na mangyayari pa para malipol ang mundo.”
12-13At sinabi pa ng Dios, “Bilang palatandaan ng kasunduan ko sa inyo at sa mga hayop, at sa lahat ng susunod nʼyo pang mga henerasyon, maglalagay ako ng bahaghari sa ulap. 14Sa tuwing gagawin kong maulap ang langit at lilitaw ang bahaghari, 15aalalahanin ko agad ang kasunduan ko sa inyo at sa lahat ng uri ng hayop, na hindi ko na lilipuling muli sa pamamagitan ng baha ang lahat ng may buhay. 16Tuwing lilitaw ang bahaghari sa mga ulap, aalalahanin ko agad ang walang hanggang kasunduan ko sa lahat ng may buhay sa mundo.”
17Kaya sinabi ng Dios kay Noe, “Ang bahaghari ang siyang palatandaan ng kasunduan ko sa lahat ng nabubuhay sa mundo.”
Ang mga Anak ni Noe
18Ito ang mga anak ni Noe na kasama niya sa barko: sina Shem, Ham at Jafet. (Si Ham ang ama ni Canaan.) 19Silang tatlo ang pinagmulan ng lahat ng tao sa mundo.
20Si Noe ay isang magsasaka at siya ang unang nagtanim ng ubas. 21Isang araw, uminom siya ng alak na mula sa ubas, at nalasing. Nakatulog siyang hubad sa loob ng kanyang tolda. 22Ngayon, si Ham na ama ni Canaan ay pumasok sa tolda, at nakita niyang hubad ang kanyang ama. Kaya lumabas siya at sinabi ito sa dalawang kapatid niya. 23Kumuha sina Shem at Jafet ng damit at inilagay sa balikat nila, pagkatapos, lumakad sila nang paurong papasok sa tolda para takpan ang kanilang ama. Hindi sila lumingon dahil ayaw nilang makita ang kahubaran ng kanilang ama. 24Nang mahimasmasan na si Noe sa pagkalasing niya, at nalaman kung ano ang ginawa ng bunsong anak niya, 25sinabi niya;
“Sumpain ka Canaan! Maghihirap ka at magiging alipin ng iyong mga kapatid.”
26At sinabi rin niya,
“Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Shem.
Nawaʼy maging alipin ni Shem si Canaan.
27Nawaʼy palawakin ng Dios ang lupain ni Jafet,
at maging mabuti ang pagsasama ng mga lahi niya at ng mga lahi ni Shem.
At nawaʼy maging alipin din ni Jafet si Canaan.”
28Nabuhay pa si Noe ng 350 taon pagkatapos ng baha. 29Namatay siya sa edad na 950.
