¹ Tedy požehnal Bůh Noé i synům jeho a řekl jim: Ploďtež se a rozmnožujte se, a naplňte zemi.

² Strach váš a hrůza vaše buď na všeliký živočich země, a na všecko ptactvo nebeské. Všecko, což se hýbe na zemi, a všecky ryby mořské v ruce vaše dány jsou.

³ Všecko, což se hýbe a jest živo, bude vám za pokrm; jako i bylinu zelenou, dal jsem vám to všecko.

⁴ A však masa s duší jeho, kteráž jest krev jeho, nebudete jísti.

⁵ A zajisté krve vaší, duší vašich vyhledávati budu; z rukou každého hovada vyhledávati jí budu, i z ruky člověka, ano i z ruky každého bratra jeho budu vyhledávati duše člověka.

⁶ Kdo by koli vylil krev člověka, skrze člověka vylita bude krev jeho; nebo k obrazu svému učinil Bůh člověka.

⁷ Vy pak ploďte a množte se; v hojnosti se rozploďte na zemi, a rozmnoženi buďte na ní.

⁸ I mluvil Bůh k Noé a synům jeho s ním, řka:

⁹ Já zajisté vcházím v smlouvu svou s vámi, i s semenem vaším po vás,

¹⁰ A se všelikou duší živou, kteráž jest s vámi, z ptactva, z hovad a ze všech živočichů zemských, kteříž jsou s vámi, ode všech, kteříž vyšli z korábu, až do všelikého živočicha zemského.

¹¹ Protož utvrzuji smlouvu svou s vámi, že nebude vyhlazeno více všeliké tělo vodami potopy; aniž bude více potopa k zkažení země.

¹² I řekl Bůh: Totoť bude znamení smlouvy, kteréž já dávám, mezi mnou a mezi vámi, a mezi všelikou duší živou, kteráž jest s vámi, po všecky věky.

¹³ Duhu svou postavil jsem na oblaku, a bude na znamení smlouvy mezi mnou a mezi zemí.

¹⁴ A budeť, když uvedu mračný oblak nad zemí, a ukáže se duha na oblaku,

¹⁵ Že se rozpomenu na smlouvu svou, kteráž jest mezi mnou a mezi vámi a mezi všelikou duší živou v každém těle; a nebudou více vody ku potopě, aby zahladily všeliké tělo.

¹⁶ Nebo když bude duha ta na oblaku, popatřím na ni, abych se rozpomenul na smlouvu věčnou mezi Bohem a mezi všelikou duší živou v každém těle, kteréž jest na zemi.

¹⁷ I řekl Bůh k Noé: Toť jest znamení smlouvy, kterouž jsem utvrdil mezi sebou a mezi všelikým tělem, kteréž jest na zemi.

¹⁸ Byli pak synové Noé, kteříž vyšli z korábu: Sem, Cham a Jáfet; a Cham byl otec Kanánův.

¹⁹ Ti tři jsou synové Noé, a ti se rozprostřeli po vší zemi.

²⁰ Noé pak obíraje se s zemí, začal dělati vinice.

²¹ A pije víno, opil se, a obnažil se u prostřed stanu svého.

²² Viděl pak Cham, otec Kanánův, hanbu otce svého, a pověděl oběma bratřím svým vně.

²³ Tedy vzali Sem a Jáfet oděv, kterýžto oba položili na ramena svá, a jdouce zpátkem, zakryli hanbu otce svého; tváři pak jich byly odvráceny, a hanby otce svého neviděli.

²⁴ Procítiv pak Noé po svém víně, zvěděl, co mu učinil syn jeho mladší.

²⁵ I řekl: Zlořečený Kanán, služebník služebníků bude bratřím svým.

²⁶ Řekl také: Požehnaný Hospodin, Bůh Semův, a buď Kanán služebníkem jejich.

²⁷ Rozšiřiž Bůh milostivě Jáfeta, aby bydlil v stáncích Semových, a buď Kanán služebníkem jejich.

²⁸ Živ pak byl Noé po potopě tři sta a padesáte let.

²⁹ A tak bylo všech dnů Noé devět set a padesáte let; i umřel jest.
