Chapter 9 Vulgate

   1 Benedixitque Deus Noe et filiis eius et dixit ad eos: "Crescite et multiplicamini et implete terram.
   2 Et terror vester ac tremor sit super cuncta animalia terrae et super omnes volucres caeli cum universis, quae moventur super terram; omnes pisces maris manui vestrae traditi sunt.
   3 Omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum; quasi holera virentia tradidi vobis omnia,
   4 excepto quod carnem cum anima, quae est in sanguine, non comedetis.
   5 Sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum; et de manu hominis, de manu viri fratris eius requiram animam hominis.
   6 Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem, per hominem fundetur sanguis illius; ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.
   7 Vos autem crescite et multiplicamini et pullulate super terram et dominamini ei"
   8 Haec quoque dixit Deus ad Noe et ad filios eius cum eo:
   9 "Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum et cum semine vestro post vos
   10 et ad omnem animam viventem, quae est vobiscum tam in volucribus quam in iumentis et in omnibus bestiis terrae, quae sunt vobiscum, cunctis, quae egressa sunt de arca, universis bestiis terrae.
   11 Statuam pactum meum vobiscum; et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii, neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram"
   12 Dixitque Deus: "Hoc signum foederis, quod do inter me et vos et ad omnem animam viventem, quae est vobiscum, in generationes sempiternas:
   13 arcum meum ponam in nubibus, et erit signum foederis inter me et inter terram.
   14 Cumque obduxero nubibus caelum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus,
   15 et recordabor foederis mei vobiscum et cum omni anima vivente, quae carnem vegetat; et non erunt ultra aquae diluvii ad delendum universam carnem.
   16 Eritque arcus in nubibus, et videbo illum et recordabor foederis sempiterni, quod pactum est inter Deum et omnem animam viventem universae carnis, quae est super terram"
   17 Dixitque Deus ad Noe: "Hoc erit signum foederis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram"
   18 Erant ergo filii Noe, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham et Iapheth. Porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.
   19 Tres isti filii sunt Noe, et ab his disseminatum est omne hominum genus super universam terram.
   20 Coepitque Noe agricola plantare vineam;
   21 bibensque vinum inebriatus est et nudatus in tabernaculo suo.
   22 Quod cum vidisset Cham pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata, nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras.
   23 At vero Sem et Iapheth pallium imposuerunt umeris suis et incedentes retrorsum operuerunt verecunda patris sui, faciesque eorum aversae erant, et patris virilia non viderunt.
   24 Evigilans autem Noe ex vino, cum didicisset, quae fecerat ei filius suus minor,
   25 ait: Maledictus Chanaan! Servus servorum erit fratribus suis"
   26 Dixitque: Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem! Sitque Chanaan servus eius.
   27 Dilatet Deus Iapheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem, sitque Chanaan servus eius"
   28 Vixit autem Noe post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis.
   29 Et impleti sunt omnes dies eius nongentorum quinquaginta annorum, et mortuus est.

King James Version

   1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
   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 liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
   4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
   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 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 ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
   8 ¶ And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
   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, 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 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 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 do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
   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 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 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 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 ¶ 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 are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
   20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
   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 brethren without.
   23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
   24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
   25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
   26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
   27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
   28 ¶ And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
   29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
