9:1 神赐福给挪亚和他的儿子，对他们说，你们要生养众多，遍满了地。
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
9:2 凡地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟，都必惊恐，惧怕你们。连地上一切的昆虫并海里一切的鱼，都交付你们的手。
And 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.
9:3 凡活着的动物，都可以作你们的食物。这一切我都赐给你们，如同菜蔬一样。
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
9:4 惟独肉带着血，那就是它的生命，你们不可吃。
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
9:5 流你们血，害你们命的，无论是兽，是人，我必讨他的罪，就是向各人的弟兄也是如此。
And 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.
9:6 凡流人血的，他的血也必被人所流。因为神造人是照自己的形像造的。
Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
9:7 你们要生养众多，在地上昌盛繁茂。
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
9:8 神晓谕挪亚和他的儿子说，
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9:9 我与你们和你们的后裔立约，
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
9:10 并与你们这里的一切活物，就是飞鸟，牲畜，走兽，凡从方舟里出来的活物立约。
And 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.
9:11 我与你们立约，凡有血肉的，不再被洪水灭绝，也不再有洪水毁坏地了。
And 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.
9:12 神说，我与你们并你们这里的各样活物所立的永约，是有记号的。
And 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:
9:13 我把虹放在云彩中，这就可作我与地立约的记号了。
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
9:14 我使云彩盖地的时候，必有虹现在云彩中，
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
9:15 我便记念我与你们和各样有血肉的活物所立的约，水就再不泛滥，毁坏一切有血肉的物了。
And 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.
9:16 虹必现在云彩中，我看见，就要记念我与地上各样有血肉的活物所立的永约。
And 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.
9:17 神对挪亚说，这就是我与地上一切有血肉之物立约的记号了。
And 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.
9:18 出方舟挪亚的儿子就是闪，含，雅弗。含是迦南的父亲。
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
9:19 这是挪亚的三个儿子，他们的后裔分散在全地。
These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
9:20 挪亚作起农夫来，栽了一个葡萄园。
And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
9:21 他喝了园中的酒便醉了，在帐棚里赤着身子。
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
9:22 迦南的父亲含，看见他父亲赤身，就到外边告诉他两个弟兄。
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
9:23 于是闪和雅弗，拿件衣服搭在肩上，倒退着进去，给他父亲盖上。他们背着脸就看不见父亲的赤身。
And 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.
9:24 挪亚醒了酒，知道小儿子向他所作的事，
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
9:25 就说，迦南当受咒诅，必给他弟兄作奴仆的奴仆。
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
9:26 又说，耶和华闪的神，是应当称颂的，愿迦南作闪的奴仆。
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
9:27 愿神使雅弗扩张，使他住在闪的帐棚里，又愿迦南作他的奴仆。
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
9:28 洪水以后，挪亚又活了三百五十年。
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
9:29 挪亚共活了九百五十岁就死了。
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
创世记9参考
人要为自己所行的负责，我有正视自己的行为所带来的结果吗？
9:5 神要每一个人为自己所行的负责。我们若伤人杀人，神必追讨、刑罚，伸张公义。
尊重所有人生命中神的形象，代表了甚么意思？
9:5-6 神照自己的形像造人，并赐人永生。人皆具有使之与禽兽不同的特质，例如道德、理性、创造力、自尊等。神要我们尊重所有人生命中神的形像。所以杀人就是杀有神的形像的人，是弥天大错。
彩虹的诺言，为我的生命寄予了多少丰盛的色彩？
9:8-17 挪亚步出方舟，踏足于一片死寂、了无生气的世界，但神跟他立约，他的应许叫人放心：（1）他不再用洪水灭世；（2）天地还存时，季节也会如常变换；（3）雨后有虹出现，作为神守约的记号。今天，地上的秩序和四时仍保持著，雨后的彩虹更提醒我们神是信实、守诺言的。
敬虔如挪亚也会犯罪，且对别人的生命造成影响──这对我有何提醒？
9:20-27 挪亚这位伟大、有信心的英雄，竟然也醉酒，给他的儿孙们留下一个坏榜样。这段记载说明了敬虔的人也会犯罪，遗害家人。虽然恶人已被完全消灭，但罪仍遗留在挪亚和他家人心中。含的嘲讽态度显示他蔑视神、完全不把父亲放在眼内。
人与人之间的歧视与偏见，甚至误用圣经，是否也存在于我的心间？
9:24-27 这段经文在教会史中曾被误用，作为支持种族歧视和奴隶制度的圣经根据。挪亚的咒诅只是针对迦南族，而不是所有含的后裔。神知道迦南族会变得败坏，到约书亚时代，以色列人进入应许地，迦南人被赶出，挪亚的咒诅应验了。
