¹ Abençoou Deus a Noé e a seus filhos, e disse-lhes: Frutificai e multiplicai-vos, e enchei a terra.

² Terão medo e pavor de vós todo animal da terra, toda ave do céu, tudo o que se move sobre a terra e todos os peixes do mar; nas vossas mãos são entregues.

³ Tudo quanto se move e vive vos servirá de mantimento, bem como a erva verde; tudo vos tenho dado.

⁴ A carne, porém, com sua vida, isto é, com seu sangue, não comereis.

⁵ Certamente requererei o vosso sangue, o sangue das vossas vidas; de todo animal o requererei; como também do homem, sim, da mão do irmão de cada um requererei a vida do homem.

⁶ Quem derramar sangue de homem, pelo homem terá o seu sangue derramado; porque Deus fez o homem à sua imagem.

⁷ Mas vós frutificai, e multiplicai-vos; povoai abundantemente a terra, e multiplicai-vos nela.

⁸ Disse também Deus a Noé, e a seus filhos com ele:

⁹ Eis que eu estabeleço o meu pacto convosco e com a vossa descendência depois de vós,

¹⁰ e com todo ser vivente que convosco está: com as aves, com o gado e com todo animal da terra; com todos os que saíram da arca, sim, com todo animal da terra.

¹¹ Sim, estabeleço o meu pacto convosco; não será mais destruída toda a carne pelas águas do dilúvio; e não haverá mais dilúvio, para destruir a terra.

¹² E disse Deus: Este é o sinal do pacto que firmo entre mim e vós e todo ser vivente que está convosco, por gerações perpétuas:

¹³ O meu arco tenho posto nas nuvens, e ele será por sinal de haver um pacto entre mim e a terra.

¹⁴ E acontecerá que, quando eu trouxer nuvens sobre a terra, e aparecer o arco nas nuvens,

¹⁵ então me lembrarei do meu pacto, que está entre mim e vós e todo ser vivente de toda a carne; e as águas não se tornarão mais em dilúvio para destruir toda a carne.

¹⁶ O arco estará nas nuvens, e olharei para ele a fim de me lembrar do pacto perpétuo entre Deus e todo ser vivente de toda a carne que está sobre a terra.

¹⁷ Disse Deus a Noé ainda: Esse é o sinal do pacto que tenho estabelecido entre mim e toda a carne que está sobre a terra.

¹⁸ Ora, os filhos de Noé, que saíram da arca, foram Sem, Cão e Jafé; e Cão é o pai de Canaã.

¹⁹ Estes três foram os filhos de Noé; e destes foi povoada toda a terra.

²⁰ E começou Noé a cultivar a terra e plantou uma vinha.

²¹ Bebeu do vinho, e embriagou-se; e achava-se nu dentro da sua tenda.

²² E Cão, pai de Canaã, viu a nudez de seu pai, e o contou a seus dois irmãos que estavam fora.

²³ Então tomaram Sem e Jafé uma capa, e puseram-na sobre os seus ombros, e andando virados para trás, cobriram a nudez de seu pai, tendo os rostos virados, de maneira que não viram a nudez de seu pai.

²⁴ Despertado que foi Noé do seu vinho, soube o que seu filho mais moço lhe fizera;

²⁵ e disse: Maldito seja Canaã; servo dos servos será de seus irmãos.

²⁶ Disse mais: Bendito seja o Senhor, o Deus de Sem; e seja-lhe Canaã por servo.

²⁷ Alargue Deus a Jafé, e habite Jafé nas tendas de Sem; e seja-lhe Canaã por servo.

²⁸ Viveu Noé, depois do dilúvio, trezentos e cinqüenta anos.

²⁹ E foram todos os dias de Noé novecentos e cinqüenta anos; e morreu.

¹ After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.

² He cried with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird!

³ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."

⁴ I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues,

⁵ for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.

⁶ Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.

⁷ However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'

⁸ Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.

⁹ The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,

¹⁰ standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.'

¹¹ The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;

¹² merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;

¹³ and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people's bodies and souls.

¹⁴ The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.

¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;

¹⁶ saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!

¹⁷ For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,

¹⁸ and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?'

¹⁹ They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!' For in one hour is she made desolate.

²⁰ "Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her."

²¹ A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.

²² The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.

²³ The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

²⁴ In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
