Ang Kasunduan ng Dios kay Noe
1Binasbasan ng Dios si Noe at ang mga anak niya at sinabi, “Magkaroon kayo ng mga anak para dumami at mangalat kayo sa buong mundo. 2Matatakot sa inyo ang lahat ng hayop: ang mga lumalakad, lumilipad, gumagapang, at ang mga nakatira sa tubig. Kayo ang maghahari sa kanilang lahat. 3Makakakain na kayo ngayon ng mga hayop. Ibinibigay ko ito sa inyo bilang pagkain, kagaya ng mga ibinigay ko sa inyo na mga pananim na makakain.
4“Pero huwag ninyong kakainin ang hayop na nang mamatay ay hindi lumabas ang dugo, dahil ang dugo ay simbolo ng buhay. 5Sisingilin ko ang sinumang papatay sa inyo, kahit ang mga hayop. Sisingilin ko ang sinumang papatay sa kanyang kapwa.
6“Ang sinumang pumatay sa kanyang kapwa ay papatayin din ng kanyang kapwa. Sapagkat ang tao ay ginawa ng Dios na kawangis niya. 7Ngayon, magkaroon kayo ng mga anak para dumami at mangalat sa buong mundo.”
8Sinabi pa ng Dios kay Noe at sa mga anak niya, 9-11“Ito ang kasunduan ko sa inyo at sa mga lahi ninyo, at sa lahat ng nabubuhay sa mundo pati sa lahat ng hayop na naging kasama ninyo sa barko: Hindi ko na muling lilipulin ang lahat ng nabubuhay sa pamamagitan ng baha. At wala nang baha na mangyayari pa para malipol ang mundo.”
12-13At sinabi pa ng Dios, “Bilang palatandaan ng kasunduan ko sa inyo at sa mga hayop, at sa lahat ng susunod nʼyo pang mga henerasyon, maglalagay ako ng bahaghari sa ulap. 14Sa tuwing gagawin kong maulap ang langit at lilitaw ang bahaghari, 15aalalahanin ko agad ang kasunduan ko sa inyo at sa lahat ng uri ng hayop, na hindi ko na lilipuling muli sa pamamagitan ng baha ang lahat ng may buhay. 16Tuwing lilitaw ang bahaghari sa mga ulap, aalalahanin ko agad ang walang hanggang kasunduan ko sa lahat ng may buhay sa mundo.”
17Kaya sinabi ng Dios kay Noe, “Ang bahaghari ang siyang palatandaan ng kasunduan ko sa lahat ng nabubuhay sa mundo.”
Ang mga Anak ni Noe
18Ito ang mga anak ni Noe na kasama niya sa barko: sina Shem, Ham at Jafet. (Si Ham ang ama ni Canaan.) 19Silang tatlo ang pinagmulan ng lahat ng tao sa mundo.
20Si Noe ay isang magsasaka at siya ang unang nagtanim ng ubas. 21Isang araw, uminom siya ng alak na mula sa ubas, at nalasing. Nakatulog siyang hubad sa loob ng kanyang tolda. 22Ngayon, si Ham na ama ni Canaan ay pumasok sa tolda, at nakita niyang hubad ang kanyang ama. Kaya lumabas siya at sinabi ito sa dalawang kapatid niya. 23Kumuha sina Shem at Jafet ng damit at inilagay sa balikat nila, pagkatapos, lumakad sila nang paurong papasok sa tolda para takpan ang kanilang ama. Hindi sila lumingon dahil ayaw nilang makita ang kahubaran ng kanilang ama. 24Nang mahimasmasan na si Noe sa pagkalasing niya, at nalaman kung ano ang ginawa ng bunsong anak niya, 25sinabi niya;
“Sumpain ka Canaan! Maghihirap ka at magiging alipin ng iyong mga kapatid.”
26At sinabi rin niya,
“Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Shem.
Nawaʼy maging alipin ni Shem si Canaan.
27Nawaʼy palawakin ng Dios ang lupain ni Jafet,
at maging mabuti ang pagsasama ng mga lahi niya at ng mga lahi ni Shem.
At nawaʼy maging alipin din ni Jafet si Canaan.”
28Nabuhay pa si Noe ng 350 taon pagkatapos ng baha. 29Namatay siya sa edad na 950.
1And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2And 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. 3Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 4But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 5And 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’s brother will I require the life of man. 6Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 7And 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, 9And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10And 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. 11And 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.
12And 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: 13I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15And 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. 16And 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. 17And 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.9.18 Canaan: Heb. Chenaan 19These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23And 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’s nakedness.
24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.9.26 his servant: or, servant to them 27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.9.27 enlarge: or, persuade
28¶ And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
