1 Dios dio esta bendición a Noé y a sus hijos: «Tengan muchos hijos y vuelvan a llenar la tierra.
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 Todos los animales de la tierra temblarán de miedo delante de ustedes. Todas las bestias de la tierra, todas las aves, todos los reptiles y todos los peces se tendrán que someter a ustedes.
2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
3 Les doy todos los animales, lo mismo que las plantas y verduras para que los usen para su alimentación.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
4 Pero no deberán comer animales sin haberles sacado la sangre, porque la vida está en la sangre.
4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
5 Si un animal mata a un ser humano, yo lo castigaré. También castigaré a cualquier persona que mate a otro ser humano. Sí, yo pediré cuentas a cualquier animal o persona que mate a un ser humano.
5 I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
6 El que mate a una persona, otra persona lo matará a él; porque los seres humanos fueron creados a la imagen de Dios.
6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
7 »Ustedes recuerden: “Tengan muchos hijos y vuelvan a poblar la tierra; ¡sí, multiplíquense y llenen la tierra!”».
7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly on the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 Entonces Dios les dijo a Noé y a sus hijos: «Hoy mismo hago un pacto con ustedes, con todo hombre y mujer que nazca después de ustedes, y con todos los animales que están con ustedes y que salieron del barco, es decir, con los animales domésticos y salvajes, con las aves y con todos los demás animales que hay en la tierra. Por medio de este pacto les prometo que nunca más enviaré otro diluvio para destruir la tierra. ¡Nunca más mataré a ningún ser viviente por medio de un diluvio!».
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
11 Not in this translation
11 I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 Además, Dios dijo: «El arco iris servirá de señal para recordar este pacto que acabo de hacer con ustedes y con todos los animales. Sí, cada vez que aparezca el arco iris sobre las nubes les recordará la promesa que he hecho a toda la tierra.
12 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:
13 Not in this translation
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 Cuando yo cubra de nubes la tierra, también haré que aparezca el arco iris. De ese modo me acordaré de la promesa que les he hecho a ustedes y a todos los demás seres vivos de la tierra. Así que nunca más los destruiré por medio de un diluvio.
14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 Not in this translation
15 I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Not in this translation
16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17 No lo olviden: Esta es la señal del pacto que acabo de hacer con ustedes y con todo ser viviente en la tierra».
17 God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
18 Los tres hijos de Noé fueron: Sem, Cam y Jafet. (Cam es el padre de Canaán).
18 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 De estos tres hijos de Noé proceden todas las naciones de la tierra.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20 Noé, que era agricultor, plantó una viña e hizo vino. Un día bebió tanto vino que se emborrachó y se quedó desnudo, tendido en el piso de su carpa.
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
21 Not in this translation
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22 En esas, Cam, el padre de Canaán, entró a la carpa y vio a Noé desnudo. Al salir de la carpa le contó a sus hermanos que había visto a su padre desnudo.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23 Entonces Sem y Jafet tomaron una túnica, se la echaron sobre los hombros y, para evitar ver la desnudez de su padre, entraron caminando hacia atrás y lo cubrieron.
23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
24 Cuando Noé despertó de su borrachera y supo lo que le había hecho su hijo menor, dijo: «¡Maldito sea Canaán y sus descendientes! ¡Serán esclavos de los descendientes de Sem y Jafet! ¡Serán los esclavos de más bajo rango!».
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 Not in this translation
25 He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26 Luego Noé dijo: «¡Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Sem! ¡Que Canaán sea esclavo de Sem!
26 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27 ¡Que Dios prospere mucho a Jafet, y que viva en los campamentos de Sem! ¡Que Canaán sea esclavo de Jafet!».
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
28 Noé vivió otros trescientos cincuenta años después del diluvio,
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
29 y tenía novecientos cincuenta años cuando murió.
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… when he had slain his brother, "The voice of thy brother's blood crieth to Me." And as their blood will be inquired after, He said to those with Noah, "For your blood of your souls will I require, [even] from the hand of all beasts;" and again, "Whosoever will shed man's blood, it shall be shed for his blood." In …
… was younger than the first and older than the last born--had sinned against him, he cursed him not in his own person, but in his son's (his own grandson's), in the words, "Cursed be the lad Canaan; a servant shall he be unto his brethren." Now Canaan was born of Ham, who, so far from covering his sleeping father's nakedness, …

Which sort of thing was done with respect to man upon his creation, "For the dread of you," it is said, "and the fear of you shall be on the wild beasts," and it came not to pass, for he proved himself unworthy of the sovereignty, even as did Judas also.

… reason Jacob by his father's blessing became lord of Esau, in order that the foolish son, who had not intelligence, his proper guardian, might, even though he wished it not, be benefited by his prudent brother. So Canaan shall be "a servant unto his brethren" because, since his father Ham was unwise, he was uninstructed in virtue.

… and our Lord's sufferings typically set forth, in the case of Noah, when he drank wine, and was drunken, and was uncovered within his tent, and his nakedness was exposed by his second son, and was carefully hidden by his elder and his younger sons. It is not necessary to mention the other circumstances in detail, as it is only …
