International Standard Version

1And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

1God blessed Noah and his sons and ordered them, "Be productive, multiply, and fill the earth.

2The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.

2All the living creatures of the earth will be filled with fear and terror of you from now on, including all the creatures that fly in the sky, everything that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the ocean. They've been assigned to live under your dominion.

3Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

3"Every living, moving creature will be food for you. Just as I gave you green plants before, so now you have everything.

4But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

4However, you are not to eat meat with its life—that is, its blood—in it!

5And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:

5Also, I will certainly demand an accounting regarding bloodshed, from every animal and from every human being. I'll demand an accounting from every human being for the life of another human being.

6Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

6"Whoever sheds human blood, by a human his own blood is to be shed; because God made human beings in his own image.

7But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

7Now as for you, be productive and multiply; spread out over the land and multiply throughout it."

8Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

8Later, God told Noah and his sons,

9“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

9"Pay attention! I'm establishing my covenant with you and with your descendants after you,

10and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark.

10and with every living creature that is with you—the flying creatures, the livestock, and all the wildlife of the earth that are with you—all the earth's animals that came out of the ark.

11And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

11I will establish my covenant with you: No living beings will ever be cut off again by flood waters, and there will never again be a flood that destroys the earth."

12And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

12God also said, "Here's the symbol that represents the covenant that I'm making between me and you and every living being with you, for all future generations:

13I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

13I've set my rainbow in the sky to symbolize the covenant between me and the earth.

14Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

14Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow becomes visible in the clouds,

15I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

15I'll remember my covenant between me and you and every living creature, so that water will never again become a flood to destroy all living beings.

16And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.”

16When the rainbow is in the clouds, I will observe it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living beings on the earth."

17So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

17God also told Noah, "This is the symbol of the covenant that I've established between me and everything that lives on the earth."

18The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

18Noah's sons who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham later fathered Canaan.)

19These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

19These three were Noah's sons, and from these men the whole earth was repopulated.

20Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

20Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant and farm a vineyard.

21But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.

21He drank some of the wine, got drunk, and lay down naked right in the middle of his tent.

22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

22Ham, who fathered Canaan, saw his father's genitals and told his two brothers outside.

23Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.

23Then Shem and Japheth took their father's cloak, laid it across both their shoulders, and walking backwards, they both covered their father's genitals. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's genitals.

24When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

24When Noah sobered up and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

25he said, "Canaan is cursed! He will be the lowest of slaves to his relatives."

26He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

26He also said, "Blessed be the LORD God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.

27May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

27May God make room for Japheth; may God live in Shem's tents, and may Canaan serve him."

28After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

28Noah lived 350 years after the flood.

29So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.

29After Noah had lived a total of 950 years, he died.
