Génesis 9
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Pacto de Dios con Noé
9 Y Dios bendijo a Noé y a sus hijos, y les dijo: «Sean fecundos y multiplíquense, y llenen la tierra(A). 2 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. 3 Todo lo que se mueve y tiene vida les será para alimento. Todo lo doy a ustedes como les di la hierba verde(B). 4 Pero carne con su vida, es decir, con su sangre(C), no comerán.
5 »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.
6 -»El que derrame sangre de hombre,
Por el hombre su sangre será derramada(F),
Porque a imagen de Dios
Hizo Él al hombre(G).
7 -»En cuanto a ustedes, sean fecundos y multiplíquense.
Pueblen en abundancia[b] la tierra y multiplíquense en ella(H)».
8 Entonces Dios habló a Noé y a sus hijos que estaban con él y les dijo: 9 «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:
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.

Genesis 9
King James Version
9 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.
Genesis 9
English Standard Version
9 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, (A)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. 2 (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. 3 (C)Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And (D)as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its (E)life, that is, its blood. 5 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.
6 (H)“Whoever sheds the blood of man,
by man shall his blood be shed,
(I)for God made man in his own image.
7 And you,[a] be fruitful and multiply, increase greatly on the earth and multiply in it.”
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, 9 “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,
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.
