¹ И благословилъ Богъ Ноя и сыновъ его, и сказалъ имъ: плодитесь и размножайтесь, и наполняйте землю.

² Да страшатся и да трепещутъ васъ всј звјри земные и всј птицы небесныя; все, что движется на землј, и всј рыбы морскія отданы въ ваши руки.

³ Все, что движется и живетъ, вамъ да будетъ въ пищу; вамъ даю Я все, подобно какъ и зелень травную.

⁴ Только плоти съ душею ея, то-есть, съ кровію ея, не јшьте.

⁵ Я взыщу и вашу кровь, въ которой душа ваша, взыщу ее отъ всякаго звјря, взыщу также душу человјка отъ руки человјка, брата его.

⁶ Кто прольетъ кровь человјческую, того и самого кровь прольется между человјками, ибо человјкъ созданъ по образу Божію.

⁷ И такъ вы плодитесь и размножайтесь, и распространяйтесь по землј, и умножайтесь на ней.

⁸ И сказалъ Богъ Ною и сынамъ его вмјстј съ нимъ:

⁹ Се, Я поставляю завјтъ Мой съ вами, и съ потомствомъ вашимъ послј васъ.

¹⁰ И со всякою, находящеюся съ вами душею живою, съ птицами, со скотомъ, и со всјми звјрьми земными, находящимися у васъ, со всјми вышедшими изъ ковчега, со всјми животными земными.

¹¹ И поставляю завјтъ Мой съ вами въ томъ, что не будетъ опять истреблена водами потопа всякая плоть, и не будетъ уже потопа на опустошеніе земли.

¹² И сказалъ Богъ: вотъ знакъ завјта, который Я поставляю между Мною и между вами, и между всякою душею живою, находящеюся съ вами въ роды навсегда:

¹³ Я полагаю дугу Мою въ облакј, чтобы она была знакомъ завјта между Мною и между землею.

¹⁴ Такимъ образомъ, когда Я наведу облако на землю: то явится дуга въ облакј;

¹⁵ и Я вспомню завјтъ Мой, который между Мною и между вами, и между всякою душею живою во всякой плоти; и воды не сдјлаются болје потопомъ на истребленіе всякой плоти:

¹⁶ ибо будетъ дуга въ облакј, и Я увижу ее, и вспомню завјтъ вјчный между Богомъ и между всякою душею живою во всякой плоти, какая есть на землј.

¹⁷ И сказалъ Богъ Ною: воть знакъ завјта, который Я поставляю между Мною и между всякою плотію, какая есть на землј.

¹⁸ Сыновья Ноя, вышедшіе изъ ковчега, были: Симъ, Хамъ и Іафетъ. Хамъ же былъ отецъ Ханаана.

¹⁹ Сіи трое были сыновья Ноевы. Отъ сихъ населилась вся земля.

²⁰ Ной началъ воздјлывать землю, и насадилъ виноградникъ,

²¹ И выпилъ онъ вина, и опьянјлъ, и лежалъ обнаженъ посреди шатра своего.

²² Тогда Хамъ, отецъ Ханаана, увидјлъ наготу отца своего, и сказалъ двумъ братьямъ своимъ на дворј,

²³ Симъ же и Іафетъ взяли одежду, и положили ее оба на плеча свои, и пошли задомъ, и покрыли наготу отца своего; и какъ они лицами были назадъ, то и не видјли наготы отца своего.

²⁴ Когда Ной проспался отъ вина своего, и узналъ, что сдјлалъ надъ нимъ меньшій сынъ его:

²⁵ тогда онъ сказалъ: Проклятъ Ханаанъ: Рабъ рабовъ будетъ у братьевъ своихъ.

²⁶ Потомъ сказалъ: Благословенъ Іегова, Богъ Симовъ; Ханаанъ же будеть рабомъ ему.

²⁷ Да распространитъ Богъ Іафета И да вселится онъ въ шатры Симовы, Ханаанъ же будетъ рабомъ ему.

²⁸ И жилъ Ной послј потопа триста пятьдесятъ лјтъ.

²⁹ Всјхъ же дней Ноевыхъ было девять сотъ пятьдесятъ лјтъ и онъ умеръ.

¹ The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

² It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

³ They said one to another, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

⁴ They said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."

⁵ Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

⁶ Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

⁷ Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

⁸ So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

⁹ Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

³⁰ Sarai was barren. She had no child.

³¹ Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

³² The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
