Genesis 9

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons. And he said to them: “Increase, and multiply, and fill the earth.	1 Benedixitque Deus Noe et filiis eius et dixit ad eos: “Crescite et multiplicamini et implete terram.
2 And let the fear and trembling of you be upon all the animals of the earth, and upon all the birds of the air, along with all that moves across the earth. All the fish of the sea have been delivered into your hand.	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 And everything that moves and lives will be food for you. Just as with the edible plants, I have delivered them all to you,	3 Omne, quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum; quasi holera virentia tradidi vobis omnia,
4 except that flesh with blood you shall not eat.	4 excepto quod carnem cum anima, quae est in sanguine, non comedetis.
5 For I will examine the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast. So also, at the hand of mankind, at the hand of each man and his brother, I will examine the life of mankind.	5 Sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum; et de manu hominis, de manu viri fratris eius requiram animam hominis.
6 Whoever will shed human blood, his blood will be poured out. For man was indeed made to the image of God.	6 Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem, per hominem fundetur sanguis illius; ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.
7 But as for you: increase and multiply, and go forth upon the earth and fulfill it.”	7 Vos autem crescite et multiplicamini et pullulate super terram et dominamini ei”.
8 To Noah and to his sons with him, God also said this:	8 Haec quoque dixit Deus ad Noe et ad filios eius cum eo:
9 “Behold, I will establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,	9 “Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum et cum semine vestro post vos
10 and with every living soul that is with you: as much with the birds as with the cattle and all the animals of the earth that have gone forth from the ark, and with all the wild beasts of the earth.	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 I will establish my covenant with you, and no longer will all that is flesh be put to death by the waters of a great flood, and, henceforth, there will not be a great flood to utterly destroy the earth.”	11 Statuam pactum meum vobiscum; et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii, neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram”.
12 And God said: “This is the sign of the pact that I grant between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.	12 Dixitque Deus: “Hoc signum foederis, quod do inter me et vos et ad omnem animam viventem, quae est vobiscum, in generationes sempiternas:
13 I will place my arc in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the pact between myself and the earth.	13 arcum meum ponam in nubibus, et erit signum foederis inter me et inter terram.
14 And when I obscure the sky with clouds, my arc will appear in the clouds.	14 Cumque obduxero nubibus caelum, apparebit arcus meus in nubibus,
15 And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that enlivens flesh. And there will no longer be waters from a great flood to wipe away all that is flesh.	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 And the arc will be in the clouds, and I will see it, and I will remember the everlasting covenant that was enacted between God and every living soul of all that is flesh upon the earth.”	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 And God said to Noah, “This will be the sign of the covenant that I have established between myself and all that is flesh upon the earth.”	17 Dixitque Deus ad Noe: “Hoc erit signum foederis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram”.
18 And so the sons of Noah, who came out of the ark, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now Ham himself is the father of Canaan.	18 Erant ergo filii Noe, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham et Iapheth. Porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.
19 These three are the sons of Noah. And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.	19 Tres isti filii sunt Noe, et ab his disseminatum est omne hominum genus super universam terram.
20 And Noah, a good farmer, began to cultivate the land, and he planted a vineyard.	20 Coepitque Noe agricola plantare vineam;
21 And by drinking its wine, he became inebriated and was naked in his tent.	21 bibensque vinum inebriatus est et nudatus in tabernaculo suo.
22 Because of this, when Ham, the father of Canaan, had indeed seen the privates of his father to be naked, he reported it to his two brothers outside.	22 Quod cum vidisset Cham pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata, nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras.
23 And truly, Shem and Japheth put a cloak upon their arms, and, advancing backwards, covered the privates of their father. And their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s manhood.	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 Then Noah, awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,	24 Evigilans autem Noe ex vino, cum didicisset, quae fecerat ei filius suus minor,
25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants will he be to his brothers.”	25 ait: Maledictus Chanaan! Servus servorum erit fratribus suis”.
26 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, let Canaan be his servant.	26 Dixitque: Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem! Sitque Chanaan servus eius.
27 May God enlarge Japheth, and may he live in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.”	27 Dilatet Deus Iapheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem, sitque Chanaan servus eius”.
28 And after the great flood, Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years.	28 Vixit autem Noe post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis.
29 And all his days were completed in nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.	29 Et impleti sunt omnes dies eius nongentorum quinquaginta annorum, et mortuus est.
