Genesis 9

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

1 上帝赐福给挪亚和他的儿子们，对他们说：“你们要生养众多，遍布地面。

2 The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.

2 所有地上的走兽和爬虫、空中的飞鸟及海里的鱼都必惧怕你们，它们都归你们管理。

3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

3 凡是活的动物都可作你们的食物，就像绿色菜蔬一样，我把一切都赐给你们了。

4 But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

4 只是你们不可吃带血的肉，因为血就是生命。

5 And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:

5 凡是杀害你们的，无论人或兽，我必向他们追讨血债。凡杀人的，我必追讨他的血债。

6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

6 凡杀害人的，也必被人杀害，因为人是上帝照着自己的形象造的。

7 But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

7 你们要生养众多，使地上人口兴旺。”

8 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

8 上帝又对挪亚和他身边的儿子们说：

9 “Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

9 “我要跟你们和你们的后代立约，

10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark.

10 包括所有和你们在一起的生物，就是那些和你们一起从方舟出来的飞禽走兽和牲畜。

11 And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

11 我与你们立约，不再让洪水灭绝一切生命，也不再让洪水毁灭大地。”

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

12 上帝说：“我与你们及所有和你们在一起的生物立世代永存的约，这是我立约的记号。

13 I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

13 我把彩虹放在云中，作为我跟大地立约的记号。

14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

14 我使云彩覆盖大地的时候，会有彩虹在云中出现。

15 I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

15 这样我会顾念我与你们及一切有血气的生物所立的约，水就不会再泛滥、毁灭所有生命。

16 And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.”

16 当我看见彩虹在云中出现的时候，就会顾念我与地上一切活物立的永远之约。”

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

17 上帝对挪亚说：“这是我与地上一切生命立约的记号。”

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

18 与挪亚一起出方舟的有他的儿子闪、含、雅弗。含是迦南的父亲。

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

19 这是挪亚的三个儿子，他们的后代遍布天下。

20 Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

20 挪亚做了农夫，他是第一个栽种葡萄园的人。

21 But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.

21 一天，他喝葡萄酒喝醉了，赤裸着身体躺在帐篷里。

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

22 迦南的父亲含看见父亲赤身露体，便去告诉外面的两个弟兄。

23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.

23 于是，闪和雅弗拿了一件衣服搭在肩上，倒退着走进帐篷，把衣服盖在父亲身上，他们背着脸不看父亲赤裸的身体。

24 When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

24 挪亚酒醒后，知道了小儿子做的事，

25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

25 就说： “迦南该受咒诅， 必做他弟兄的仆人的仆人。”

26 He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

26 又说： “闪的上帝耶和华当受称颂！ 愿迦南做闪的仆人。

27 May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

27 愿上帝扩张雅弗的疆界， 愿他住在闪的帐篷里， 愿迦南做他的仆人。”

28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

28 洪水以后，挪亚又活了三百五十年，

29 So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.

29 共活了九百五十岁才去世。
