1Benedixitque Deus Noë et filiis ejus.And God blessed Noah and his sons.Et dixit ad eos:And he said to them:Crescite,“Increase,et multiplicamini,and multiply,et replete terram.and fill the earth.

2Et terror vester ac tremor sit super cuncta animalia terræ,And let the fear and trembling of you be upon all the animals of the earth,et super omnes volucres cæli,and upon all the birds of the air,cum universis quæ moventur super terram:along with all that moves across the earth.omnes pisces maris manui vestræ traditi sunt.All the fish of the sea have been delivered into your hand.

3Et omne,And everything that movesquod movetur et vivit,and lives will be food for you.erit vobis in cibum:Just as with the edible plants,quasi olera virentia tradidi vobis omnia.I have delivered them all to you,

4Excepto, quod carnem cum sanguine non comedetis.except that flesh with blood you shall not eat.

5Sanguinem enim animarum vestrarum requiram de manu cunctarum bestiarum:For I will examine the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast. So also,et de manu hominis,at the hand of mankind,de manu viri, et fratris ejus requiram animam hominis.at the hand of each man and his brother, I will examine the life of mankind.

6Quicumque effuderit humanum sanguinem,Whoever will shed human blood,fundetur sanguis illius:his blood will be poured out.ad imaginem quippe Dei factus est homo.For man was indeed made to the image of God.

7Vos autem crescite et multiplicamini,But as for you:et ingredimini super terram,increase and multiply,et implete eam.and go forth upon the earth and fulfill it.”

8Hæc quoque dixit Deus ad Noë,To Noah and to his sons with him,et ad filios ejus cum eo:God also said this:

9Ecce ego statuam pactum meum vobiscum,“Behold, I will establish my covenant with you,et cum semine vestro post vos:and with your offspring after you,

10et ad omnem animam viventem, quæ est vobiscum,and with every living soul that is with you:tam in volucribus quam in jumentis et pecudibus terræ cunctis, quæ egressa sunt de arca,as much with the birds as with the cattle and all the animals of the earth that have gone forth from the ark,et universis bestiis terræ.and with all the wild beasts of the earth.

11Statuam pactum meum vobiscum,I will establish my covenant with you,et nequaquam ultra interficietur omnis caro aquis diluvii,and no longer will all that is flesh be put to death by the waters of a great flood, and,neque erit deinceps diluvium dissipans terram.henceforth, there will not be a great flood to utterly destroy the earth.”

12Dixitque Deus:And God said:Hoc signum fœderis quod do inter me et vos,“This is the sign of the pact that I grant between me and you,et ad omnem animam viventem,and to every living soul that is with you,quæ est vobiscum in generationes sempiternas:for perpetual generations.

13arcum meum ponam in nubibus,I will place my arc in the clouds,et erit signum fœderis inter me et inter terram.and it will be the sign of the pact between myself and the earth.

14Cumque obduxero nubibus cælum,And when I obscure the sky with clouds,apparebit arcus meus in nubibus:my arc will appear in the clouds.

15et recordabor fœderis mei vobiscum,And I will remember my covenant with you,et cum omni anima vivente quæ carnem vegetat:and with every living soul that enlivens flesh.et non erunt ultra aquæ diluvii ad delendum universam carnem.And there will no longer be waters from a great flood to wipe away all that is flesh.

16Eritque arcus in nubibus,And the arc will be in the clouds,et videbo illum,and I will see it,et recordabor fœderis sempiterni quod pactum est inter Deum et omnem animam viventem universæ carnis quæ est super terram.and I will remember the everlasting covenant that was enacted between God and every living soul of all that is flesh upon the earth.”

17Dixitque Deus ad Noë:And God said to Noah,Hoc erit signum fœderis,“This will be the sign of the covenant that I have established between myselfquod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram.and all that is flesh upon the earth.”

18Erant ergo filii Noë,And so the sons of Noah,qui egressi sunt de arca,who came out of the ark,Sem,were Shem,ChamHam,et Japheth:and Japheth.porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan.Now Ham himself is the father of Canaan.

19Tres isti filii sunt Noë:These three are the sons of Noah.et ab his disseminatum est omne genus hominum super universam terram.And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.

20Cœpitque Noë vir agricola exercere terram,And Noah, a good farmer, began to cultivate the land,et plantavit vineam.and he planted a vineyard.

21Bibensque vinum inebriatus est,And by drinking its wine,et nudatus in tabernaculo suo.he became inebriated and was naked in his tent.

22Quod cum vidisset Cham,Because of this, when Ham,pater Chanaan,the father of Canaan,verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata,had indeed seen the privates of his father to be naked,nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras.he reported it to his two brothers outside.

23At vero Sem et Japheth pallium imposuerunt humeris suis,And truly, Shem and Japheth put a cloak upon their arms,et incedentes retrorsum,and, advancing backwards,operuerunt verenda patris sui:covered the privates of their father.faciesque eorum aversæ erant,And their faces were turned away,et patris virilia non viderunt.so that they did not see their father’s manhood.

24Evigilans autem Noë ex vino,Then Noah, awaking from the wine,cum didicisset quæ fecerat ei filius suus minor,when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,

25ait:he said,Maledictus Chanaan,“Cursed be Canaan,servus servorum erit fratribus suis.a servant of servants will he be to his brothers.”

26Dixitque:And he said:Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem,“Blessed be the Lord God of Shem,sit Chanaan servus ejus.let Canaan be his servant.

27Dilatet Deus Japheth,May God enlarge Japheth,et habitet in tabernaculis Sem,and may he live in the tents of Shem,sitque Chanaan servus ejus.and let Canaan be his servant.”

28Vixit autem Noë post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis.And after the great flood, Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years.

29Et impleti sunt omnes dies ejus nongentorum quinquaginta annorum:And all his days were completed in nine hundred and fifty years,et mortuus est.and then he died.
