Pacto de Dios con Noé

Y Dios bendijo a Noé y a sus hijos, y les dijo: «Sean fecundos y multiplíquense, y llenen la tierra(A). El temor y el terror de ustedes estarán sobre todos los animales de la tierra, sobre todas las aves del cielo, en todo lo que se arrastra sobre el suelo, y en todos los peces del mar. En su mano son todos entregados. Todo lo que se mueve y tiene vida les será para alimento. Todo lo doy a ustedes como les di la hierba verde(B). Pero carne con su vida, es decir, con su sangre(C), no comerán.

»De la sangre de ustedes, de la vida de ustedes(D), ciertamente pediré cuenta(E): a cualquier animal, y a cualquier hombre[a], pediré cuenta; de cada hombre pediré cuenta de la vida de un ser humano.

-»El que derrame sangre de hombre,
Por el hombre su sangre será derramada(F),
Porque a imagen de Dios
Hizo Él al hombre(G).
-»En cuanto a ustedes, sean fecundos y multiplíquense.
Pueblen en abundancia[b] la tierra y multiplíquense en ella(H)».

Entonces Dios habló a Noé y a sus hijos que estaban con él y les dijo: «Miren, Yo establezco Mi pacto con ustedes(I), y con su descendencia[c] después de ustedes, 10 y con todo ser viviente que está con ustedes: aves, ganados y todos los animales de la tierra que están con ustedes, todos los que han salido del arca, todos los animales de la tierra. 11 Yo establezco Mi pacto con ustedes, y nunca más volverá a ser exterminada[d] toda carne[e](J) por las aguas del diluvio, ni habrá más diluvio para destruir la tierra(K)».

12 También dijo Dios: «Esta es la señal del pacto que Yo hago con ustedes y todo ser viviente(L) que está con ustedes, por todas las generaciones[f]: 13 Pongo Mi arco en las nubes[g](M) y será por señal de[h] Mi pacto con la tierra.

14 »Y acontecerá que cuando haga venir nubes[i] sobre la tierra, se verá el arco en las nubes[j], 15 y me acordaré de Mi pacto(N), con ustedes y con todo ser viviente de toda carne. Nunca más se convertirán las aguas en diluvio para destruir toda carne(O). 16 Cuando el arco esté en las nubes[k], lo miraré para acordarme del pacto eterno(P) entre Dios y todo ser viviente de toda carne que está sobre la tierra». 17 Y dijo Dios a Noé: «Esta es la señal del pacto que Yo he establecido con toda carne que está sobre la tierra».

Noé y sus hijos

18 Los hijos de Noé que salieron del arca fueron Sem, Cam y Jafet. Cam fue el padre de Canaán(Q). 19 Estos tres fueron los hijos de Noé, y de ellos se pobló[l] toda la tierra(R).

20 Noé comenzó a labrar la tierra[m], y plantó una viña. 21 Bebió el vino y se embriagó(S), y se desnudó en medio de su tienda. 22 Cam, padre de Canaán, vio la desnudez(T) de su padre y se lo contó a sus dos hermanos que estaban afuera. 23 Entonces Sem y Jafet tomaron un manto, lo pusieron sobre sus hombros, y caminando hacia atrás cubrieron la desnudez de su padre. Como sus rostros estaban vueltos, no vieron la desnudez de su padre.

24 Cuando Noé despertó de su embriaguez[n], y supo lo que su hijo menor le había hecho, 25 dijo:

«Maldito sea Canaán(U);
Siervo de siervos(V)
Será para sus hermanos».

26 Dijo también:

«Bendito sea el Señor(W),
El Dios de Sem;
Y sea Canaán su siervo.
27 -»Engrandezca Dios a Jafet(X),
Y habite en las tiendas de Sem;
Y sea Canaán su siervo».

28 Noé vivió 350 años después del diluvio. 29 El total de los días de Noé fue de 950 años, y murió.

God’s Covenant With Noah

Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.(A) The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.(B) Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you.(C) Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.(D)

“But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.(E) And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting.(F) I will demand an accounting from every animal.(G) And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.(H)

“Whoever sheds human blood,
    by humans shall their blood be shed;(I)
for in the image of God(J)
    has God made mankind.

As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”(K)

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you(L) and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant(M) with you:(N) Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.(O)

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant(P) I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:(Q) 13 I have set my rainbow(R) in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow(S) appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant(T) between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.(U) 16 Whenever the rainbow(V) appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant(W) between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant(X) I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

The Sons of Noah

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth.(Y) (Ham was the father of Canaan.)(Z) 19 These were the three sons of Noah,(AA) and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.(AB)

20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded[a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine,(AC) he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked(AD) and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,

“Cursed(AE) be Canaan!(AF)
    The lowest of slaves
    will he be to his brothers.(AG)

26 He also said,

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!(AH)
    May Canaan be the slave(AI) of Shem.
27 May God extend Japheth’s[b] territory;(AJ)
    may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,(AK)
    and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”

28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.(AL)

  2. Genesis 9:27 Japheth sounds like the Hebrew for extend.

And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, (A)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. (B)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. (C)Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And (D)as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. But you shall not eat flesh with its (E)life, that is, its blood. And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: (F)from every beast I will require it and (G)from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man.

(H)“Whoever sheds the blood of man,
    by man shall his blood be shed,
(I)for God made man in his own image.

And you,[a] be fruitful and multiply, increase greatly on the earth and multiply in it.”

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “Behold, (J)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 (K)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, (L)“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 (M)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 (N)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 (O)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.”

Noah's Descendants

18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were (P)Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and (Q)from these the people of the whole earth were dispersed.[b]

20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.[c] 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 (R)and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,

(S)“Cursed be Canaan;
    (T)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,[d]
    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.
