Genesis 9
1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over the earth.
Lalu Allah memberkati Nuh dan anak-anaknya serta berkata kepada mereka, “Beranakcuculah hingga kalian menjadi banyak. Penuhilah bumi.
2 All the wild animals on the earth and all the birds, all the creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the fish, will be very afraid [DOU] of you. I have put them under your control.
Semua binatang di bumi, burung-burung di udara, binatang melata, binatang merayap, dan ikan-ikan di laut akan sangat takut kepada kalian. Semuanya itu Aku serahkan menjadi milik dan tanggung jawab kalian.
3 Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
Dahulu Aku sudah memberikan segala tumbuhan hijau menjadi makananmu. Sekarang Aku juga memberikan segala jenis binatang dan burung menjadi makananmu.
4 [It is blood that causes creatures to be alive], therefore you must not eat meat that still has blood in it after the animal is killed. [After you have drained the blood out, you may cook it and eat it].
Tetapi darah dari binatang atau burung yang dipotong itu tidak boleh ikut dimakan, karena darah melambangkan kehidupan yang Aku berikan kepada setiap makhluk.
5 I insist that murderers must be executed. Animals that kill people must also be executed. The reason that everyone who murders someone else must be executed is that
“Itulah sebabnya, Aku akan menjatuhkan hukuman kepada setiap manusia maupun binatang yang membunuh manusia,
6 I made people to be like myself [in many ways]. So someone who murders another human being must be executed by others, [because he killed someone who is like me].
karena manusia diciptakan untuk mencerminkan sifat-sifat-Ku. Siapa pun yang membunuh manusia, biarlah dia dibunuh oleh manusia juga.
7 As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
“Sekali lagi Aku berkata kepada kalian: Beranakcuculah hingga kalian menjadi banyak, supaya keturunan kalian memenuhi seluruh bumi.”
8 God also said to Noah and his sons,
Allah berkata kepada Nuh dan anak-anaknya,
9 “Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
“Dengarkanlah baik-baik! Sekarang Aku mengadakan perjanjian dengan kalian dan keturunan-keturunan kalian,
10 and with all the living creatures that are with you—including the birds, the livestock, and the wild animals—every living creature on the earth that came out of the boat with you.
juga dengan segala makhluk hidup yang sudah keluar dari kapal itu bersama kalian, termasuk burung-burung, berbagai binatang ternak, dan binatang-binatang liar.
11 This is the promise that I am making to you: I will never again destroy all living creatures by a flood, or destroy everything else on the earth by a flood.”
Aku berjanji bahwa Aku tidak akan lagi mendatangkan bencana banjir ke atas bumi yang membinasakan semua makhluk hidup.”
12 Then God said to him, “This is the sign to guarantee that I will keep the promise that I am making to you and to all living creatures, a promise that I will keep forever:
Kemudian Allah berkata kepada mereka, “Aku akan memenuhi perjanjian-Ku ini kepada seluruh makhluk hidup, termasuk kalian dan seluruh keturunan kalian sampai selama-lamanya. Sebagai tanda perjanjian, Aku akan menempatkan pelangi di langit.
13 [From time to time] I will put a rainbow in the sky. It will remind me of my promise that I have made to you and everything on the earth.
14 When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
Ketika Aku mendatangkan hujan dari awan, pelangi akan muncul di langit,
15 it will remind me about the promise that I have made to you and all living creatures, my promise that there will never again be a flood that will destroy all living creatures.
dan Aku akan mengingat perjanjian yang sudah Aku buat dengan kalian dan semua makhluk hidup, bahwa Aku tidak akan lagi mendatangkan banjir untuk memusnahkan segala makhluk hidup.
16 Whenever there is a rainbow in the sky, I will see it, and I will think about the promise that I have made to every living creature that is upon the earth, a promise that I will keep forever.”
Setiap kali Aku melihat pelangi itu muncul di langit, Aku akan mengingat perjanjian yang sudah Aku tetapkan tadi dengan semua makhluk hidup di bumi. Perjanjian itu berlaku untuk selama-lamanya.
17 Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow will be the sign of the promise that I have made to all the creatures that live on the earth.”
Dan pelangi merupakan tanda jaminan terhadap perjanjian itu, yang sudah Aku adakan dengan semua makhluk hidup di bumi.”
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
Anak-anak Nuh yang keluar dari kapal itu adalah Sem, Yafet, dan Ham. Ketiga anak Nuh inilah yang menjadi nenek moyang semua bangsa di dunia. Ham adalah bapak Kanaan. (Di kemudian hari, keturunan Kanaan disebut bangsa Kanaan.)
19 All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
Nuh menjadi petani dan membuat kebun anggur.
21 [When they later produced grapes, he made wine from the grapes]. One day, when he drank too much of the wine, he became drunk, and he lay naked in his tent.
Suatu hari, dia minum anggur terlalu banyak sampai mabuk. Lalu dia berbaring telanjang di dalam kemahnya.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father lying naked in the tent. So he went outside and told his two older brothers what he had seen.
Ketika Ham, bapak Kanaan, melihat ayahnya sendiri sedang berbaring di dalam kemahnya dengan telanjang, dia keluar memberitahukan hal itu kepada kedua kakaknya.
23 Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked.
Kemudian Sem dan Yafet mengambil sehelai jubah untuk menutupi tubuh ayah mereka. Dan supaya tidak melihat ketelanjangan ayah mereka, jubah itu mereka bentangkan terlebih dahulu dengan cara menaruh ujungnya di bahu mereka masing-masing, kemudian mereka berjalan mundur ke dalam kemah. Demikianlah mereka menutupi Nuh dengan jubah itu.
24 When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
Ketika Nuh sadar dari mabuknya dan mengetahui apa yang sudah diperbuat anak bungsunya terhadap dirinya,
25 He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
berkatalah dia, “Karena kesalahan Ham, terkutuklah bangsa Kanaan. Biarlah mereka menjadi budak terhina bagi keturunan Sem dan Yafet.
26 I will ask God to enlarge the territory that belongs to Japheth, and allow his descendants to live peacefully among the descendants of Shem [MTY].
Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah yang disembah oleh Sem! Biarlah keturunan Ham menjadi budaknya.
27 And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
Kiranya TUHAN menambahkan berkat kepada Yafet dengan memperluas wilayahnya. Biarlah keturunannya hidup rukun dengan keturunan Sem, dan biarlah keturunan Kanaan menjadi budak keturunan Yafet juga.”
28 Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
Sesudah peristiwa banjir besar itu, Nuh masih hidup selama 350 tahun lagi.
29 He died when he was 950 years old.
Kemudian dia meninggal di usia 950 tahun.
