Noè e i suoi figli

1 Dio benedisse Noè e i suoi figli, e disse loro: «Crescete, moltiplicatevi e riempite la terra. 2 Avranno timore e spavento di voi tutti gli animali della terra e tutti gli uccelli del cielo. Essi sono dati in vostro potere con tutto ciò che striscia sulla terra e con tutti i pesci del mare. 3 Tutto ciò che si muove e ha vita vi servirà di cibo; io vi do tutto questo, come l’erba verde; 4 ma non mangerete carne con la sua vita, cioè con il suo sangue. 5 Certo, io chiederò conto del vostro sangue, del sangue delle vostre vite; ne chiederò conto a ogni animale; chiederò conto della vita dell’uomo alla mano dell’uomo, alla mano di ogni suo fratello. 6 Il sangue di chiunque spargerà il sangue dell’uomo sarà sparso dall’uomo, perché Dio ha fatto l’uomo a sua immagine. 7 Voi dunque crescete e moltiplicatevi; spandetevi sulla terra e moltiplicatevi in essa». 8 Poi Dio parlò a Noè e ai suoi figli con lui dicendo: 9 «Quanto a me, ecco, stabilisco il mio patto con voi, con i vostri discendenti dopo di voi 10 e con ogni essere vivente che è con voi: uccelli, bestiame e tutti gli animali della terra con voi; da tutti quelli che sono usciti dall’arca a tutti gli animali della terra. 11 Io stabilisco il mio patto con voi; nessun essere vivente sarà più sterminato dalle acque del diluvio e non ci sarà più diluvio per distruggere la terra». 12 Dio disse: «Ecco il segno del patto che io faccio tra me e voi e ogni essere vivente che è con voi, per tutte le generazioni future. 13 Io pongo il mio arco nella nuvola e servirà di segno del patto fra me e la terra. 14 Avverrà che quando avrò raccolto delle nuvole al di sopra della terra, l’arco apparirà nelle nuvole; 15 io mi ricorderò del mio patto fra me e voi e ogni essere vivente di ogni specie, e le acque non diventeranno più un diluvio per distruggere ogni essere vivente. 16 L’arco dunque sarà nelle nuvole e io lo guarderò per ricordarmi del patto perpetuo fra Dio e ogni essere vivente, di qualunque specie che è sulla terra». 17 Dio disse a Noè: «Questo è il segno del patto che io ho stabilito fra me e ogni essere vivente che è sulla terra». 18 I figli di Noè che uscirono dall’arca erano Sem, Cam e Iafet; e Cam è il padre di Canaan. 19 Questi sono i tre figli di Noè; da loro fu popolata tutta la terra. 20 Noè, che era agricoltore, cominciò a piantare la vigna 21 e bevve del vino; s’inebriò e si denudò in mezzo alla sua tenda. 22 Cam, padre di Canaan, vide la nudità di suo padre e andò a dirlo, fuori, ai suoi fratelli. 23 Ma Sem e Iafet presero il suo mantello, se lo misero insieme sulle spalle e, camminando all’indietro, coprirono la nudità del loro padre. Siccome avevano il viso rivolto dalla parte opposta, non videro la nudità del loro padre. 24 Quando Noè si svegliò dalla sua ebbrezza, seppe quello che gli aveva fatto il figlio minore e disse: 25 «Maledetto Canaan! Sia servo dei servi dei suoi fratelli!» 26 Disse ancora: «Benedetto sia il Signore, Dio di Sem; e sia Canaan suo servo! 27 Dio estenda Iafet! e abiti nelle tende di Sem e sia Canaan suo servo!» 28 Noè visse, dopo il diluvio, trecentocinquant’anni. 29 L’intera vita di Noè fu di novecentocinquant’anni; poi morì.

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. (Gen 1,22; Gen 1,28; Gen 8,17) 2 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. (Sal 8,6; Giac 3,7) 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. (Gen 1,29; De 12,15; 1Ti 4,3; 1Ti 4,4)

Gen 1,29De 12,151Ti 4,31Ti 4,4

4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. (Le 17,10; Le 17,11; Le 17,14; De 12,16; De 12,23; 1Sam 14,33; At 15,20; At 15,29)

5 And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man. (Gen 4,10; Gen 4,11; Eso 21,28) 6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image. (Gen 1,27; Gen 5,1; Eso 21,12; Eso 21,14; Le 24,17; Nu 35,31; Nu 35,33; Mat 26,52; Giac 3,9; Ap 13,10)

7 And you,^[1] 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, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, (Gen 6,18; Gen 8,20) 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 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.” (Is 54,9; Is 54,10) 12 And God said, “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: (Gen 17,11) 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. (Ez 1,28; Ap 4,3; Ap 10,1) 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 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. (Le 26,42; Le 26,45; 1Re 8,23; Ez 16,60)

Le 26,42Le 26,451Re 8,23Ez 16,60

16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” (Gen 17,7; Gen 17,13; Gen 17,19) 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 Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) (Gen 5,32; Gen 10,1) 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the people of the whole earth were dispersed.^[2] (Gen 10,32) 20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.^[3] 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 and knew what his youngest son had done to him, (Abac 2,15) 25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.” (De 27,16; Gios 9,23; Giudic 1,28; 1Re 9,20; 1Re 9,21)

De 27,16Gios 9,23Giudic 1,281Re 9,201Re 9,21

26 He also said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be his servant. 27 May God enlarge Japheth,^[4] 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.

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' brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man' 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' 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.

Gottes Bund mit Noah

1 Gott segnete Noah und seine Söhne und sprach: »Vermehrt euch und bevölkert wieder die Erde! 2 Alle Tiere auf der Erde, alle Vögel am Himmel und alle Fische im Meer werden sich vor euch fürchten müssen, denn ich gebe sie in eure Hand. 3 Von jetzt an könnt ihr euch von ihrem Fleisch ernähren, nicht nur von den Pflanzen, die ich euch als Nahrung zugewiesen habe. 4 Aber esst kein Fleisch, in dem noch Blut ist, denn im Blut ist das Leben. 5 Niemand darf einen anderen Menschen ermorden! Wer dies tut – ob Mensch oder Tier –, muss mit dem Tod dafür büßen. Ich selbst werde ihn zur Rechenschaft ziehen. 6 Wer also das Blut eines Menschen vergießt, mit dem soll dasselbe geschehen: Er muss hingerichtet werden. Denn ich habe den Menschen als mein Ebenbild geschaffen. 7 So seht nun zu, dass eure Nachkommen zahlreich sind. Vermehrt euch, bis es auf der Erde von euch wimmelt!« 8 Dann sagte Gott zu Noah und seinen Söhnen: 9 »Ich schließe einen Bund mit euch und mit allen euren Nachkommen, 10 dazu mit den vielen verschiedenen Tieren, die bei euch in der Arche waren, von den größten bis zu den kleinsten. 11 Und das ist mein Versprechen: Nie wieder werde ich eine so große Flut schicken, um die Erde und alles, was auf ihr lebt, zu vernichten.« 12-13 Weiter sagte er: »Diesen Bund schließe ich mit euch und allen Bewohnern der Erde, immer und ewig will ich dazu stehen. Der Regenbogen soll ein Zeichen für dieses Versprechen sein. 14 Wenn ich Wolken am Himmel aufziehen lasse und der Regenbogen darin erscheint, 15 dann werde ich an meinen Bund denken, den ich mit Mensch und Tier geschlossen habe: Nie wieder eine so große Flut! Nie wieder soll alles Leben auf diese Weise vernichtet werden! 16-17 Ja«, sagte Gott, »diese Zusage gilt für alle Zeiten, der Regenbogen ist das Erinnerungszeichen. Wenn er zu sehen ist, werde ich daran denken.«

Noahs Söhne

18 Zusammen mit Noah hatten auch seine drei Söhne Sem, Ham und Jafet das Schiff verlassen. Ham war der Vater von Kanaan. 19 Von diesen dreien stammen alle Völker der Erde ab. 20 Noah betrieb Ackerbau und legte als Erster einen Weinberg an. 21 Eines Tages trank er so viel von dem Wein, dass er betrunken wurde und sich nackt in seinem Zelt schlafen legte. 22 Ham, der Vater von Kanaan, entdeckte ihn so und lief nach draußen, um es seinen beiden Brüdern zu erzählen. 23 Da nahmen Sem und Jafet einen Mantel, legten ihn über ihre Schultern und gingen rückwärts ins Zelt. Sie ließen ihn mit abgewandtem Gesicht über ihren Vater fallen, um ihn nicht nackt zu sehen. 24 Als Noah aus seinem Rausch aufwachte, erfuhr er, was sein Sohn Ham ihm angetan hatte. 25 »Verflucht sei Kanaan!«, rief er. »Er soll für seine Brüder der niedrigste aller Knechte sein!« 26 Weiter sagte er: »Gelobt sei der HERR, der Gott Sems! Er mache Kanaan zu Sems Knecht! 27 Gott gebe Jafet viel Land, damit er sich ausbreiten kann. Er lasse Jafet friedlich mit Sem zusammenwohnen, aber er mache Kanaan zu seinem Knecht!« 28 Noah lebte nach der Flut noch 350 Jahre 29 und starb im Alter von 950 Jahren.
