Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons. And he said to them: “Increase, and multiply, and fill the earth.
Derpaa velsignede Gud Noa og hans Sønner og sagde til dem: »Bliv frugtbare og mangfoldige og opfyld Jorden!
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.
Frygt for eder og Rædsel for eder skal være over alle Jordens vildtlevende Dyr og alle Himmelens Fugle og i alt, hvad Jorden vrimler med, og i alle Havets Fisk; i eders Haand er de givet!
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,
Alt, hvad der rører sig og lever, skal tjene eder til Føde; ligesom de grønne Urter giver jeg eder det alt sammen.
4 except that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
Dog Kød med Sjælen, det er Blodet, maa I ikke spise!
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.
Men for eders eget Blod kræver jeg Hævn; af ethvert Dyr kræver jeg Hævn for det, og af Menneskene indbyrdes kræver jeg Hævn for Menneskenes Liv.
6 Whoever will shed human blood, his blood will be poured out. For man was indeed made to the image of God.
Om nogen udøser Menneskers Blod, ved Mennesker skal hans Blod udøses, thi i sit Billede gjorde Gud Menneskene.
7 But as for you: increase and multiply, and go forth upon the earth and fulfill it.”
Men I skal blive frugtbare og mangfoldige! Opfyld Jorden og gør eder til Herre over den!«
8 To Noah and to his sons with him, God also said this:
Derpaa sagde Gud til Noa og hans Sønner:
9 “Behold, I will establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
»Se, jeg opretter min Pagt med eder og eders Efterkommere efter eder
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.
og med hvert levende Væsen, som er hos eder, Fuglene, Kvæget og alle Jordens vildtlevende Dyr, alt, hvad der gik ud af Arken, alle Jordens Dyr;
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.”
jeg opretter min Pagt med eder og lover, at aldrig mere skal alt Kød udryddes af Flodens Vande, og aldrig mere skal der komme en Vandflod for at ødelægge Jorden!«
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.
Fremdeles sagde Gud: »Dette er Tegnet paa den Pagt, jeg til evige Tider opretter mellem mig og eder og hvert levende Væsen, som er hos eder:
13 I will place my arc in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the pact between myself and the earth.
Min Bue sætter jeg i Skyen, og den skal være Pagtstegn mellem mig og Jorden!
14 And when I obscure the sky with clouds, my arc will appear in the clouds.
Naar jeg trækker Skyer sammen over Jorden, og Buen da viser sig i Skyerne,
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.
vil jeg komme den Pagt i Hu, som bestaar mellem mig og eder og hvert levende Væsen, det er alt Kød, og Vandet skal ikke mere blive til en Vandflod, som ødelægger alt Kød.
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.”
Naar Buen da staar i Skyerne, vil jeg se hen til den og ihukomme den evige Pagt mellem Gud og hvert levende Væsen, det er alt Kød paa Jorden.«
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.”
Og Gud sagde til Noa: »Det er Tegnet paa den Pagt, jeg opretter imellem mig og alt Kød paa Jorden!«
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.
Noas Sønner, der gik ud af Arken, var Sem, Kam og Jafet; Kam var Fader til Kana'an;
19 These three are the sons of Noah. And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.
det var Noas tre Sønner, og fra dem stammer hele Jordens Befolkning.
20 And Noah, a good farmer, began to cultivate the land, and he planted a vineyard.
Noa var Agerdyrker og den første, der plantede en Vingaard.
21 And by drinking its wine, he became inebriated and was naked in his tent.
Da han nu drak af Vinen, blev han beruset og blottede sig inde i, sit Telt.
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.
Da saa Kana'ans Fader Kam sin Faders Blusel og gik ud og fortalte sine Brødre det;
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.
men Sem og Jafet tog Kappen, lagde den paa deres Skuldre og gik baglæns ind og tildækkede deres Faders Blusel med bortvendte Ansigter, saa de ikke saa deres Faders Blusel.
24 Then Noah, awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
Da Noa vaagnede af sin Rus og fik at vide, hvad hans yngste Søn havde gjort ved ham,
25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants will he be to his brothers.”
sagde han: »Forbandet være Kana'an, Trælles Træl blive han for sine Brødre!«
26 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, let Canaan be his servant.
Fremdeles sagde han: »Lovet være HERREN, Sems Gud, og Kana'an blive hans Træl!
27 May God enlarge Japheth, and may he live in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.”
Gud skaffe Jafet Plads, at han maa bo i Sems Telte; og Kana'an blive hans Træl!«
28 And after the great flood, Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years.
Noa levede 350 Aar efter Vandfloden;
29 And all his days were completed in nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.
saaledes blev Noas fulde Levetid 950 Aar, og derpaa døde han.
