וּבָרִיךְ יְיָ יָת נֹח וְיָת בְּנוֹהִי וַאֲמַר לְהוֹן פּוּשׁוּ וּסְגוּ וּמְלוּ יָת אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Elohim blessed Noach and his sons. He said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

וְדַחֲלַתְכוֹן וְאֵימַתְכוֹן תְּהֵי עַל כָּל חֵוַת אַרְעָא וְעַל כָּל עוֹפָא דִשְׁמַיָּא בְּכֹל דִּי תַרְחֵישׁ אַרְעָא וּבְכָל נוּנֵי יַמָּא בְּיֶדְכוֹן יְהוֹן מְסִירִין:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Your fear and terror will be upon every wild beast of the earth, and upon every bird in the heavens. All that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are given into your hands.

כָּל רִחֲשָׁא דְּהוּא חַי לְכוֹן יְהֵי לְמֵיכָל כִּירוֹק עִשְׂבָּא יְהָבִית לְכוֹן יָת כֹּלָּא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Every moving creature that lives, shall be yours for food; like the green vegetation [which I gave previously] I have [now] given you everything [for food].

בְּרַם בִּשְׂרָא בְּנַפְשֵׁיהּ דְּמֵיהּ לָא תֵכְלוּן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Nevertheless, flesh with its lifeblood, you shall not eat.

וּבְרַם יָת דִּמְכוֹן לְנַפְשָׁתֵיכוֹן אֶתְבַּע מִיַּד כָּל חַיְתָא אֶתְבְּעִנֵּיהּ וּמִיַּד אֱנָשָׁא מִיַּד גְּבַר דְּיֵשׁוֹד יָת דְּמָא דַאֲחוֹהִי אֶתְבַּע יָת נַפְשָׁא דֶאֱנָשָׁא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

However, of the blood of your souls, I will demand an account; from the hand of every beast will I demand it. From the hand of man, even from the hand of man’s own brother, [from the hand of a man who spills his brother’s blood,] will I demand an account of man’s soul.

דְּיֵשׁוֹד דְּמָא דֶאֱנָשָׁא בְּסַהֲדִין עַל מֵימַר דַּיָּנַיָּא דְּמֵיהּ יִתְּשָׁד אֲרֵי בְּצַלְמָא דַיְיָ עֲבַד יָת אֱנָשָׁא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

He who spills the blood of man, through man shall his blood be spilled, [by witnesses according to the word of judges shall his blood be spilled,] for in the image of Elohim, He made man.

וְאַתּוּן פּוּשׁוּ וּסְגוּ אִתְיְלִידוּ בְאַרְעָא וּסְגוּ בַהּ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

And now be fruitful and multiply, spread throughout the earth and multiply on it.

וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְנֹחַ וְלִבְנוֹהִי עִמֵּיהּ לְמֵימָר:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Elohim said to Noach and to his sons with him, saying,

וַאֲנָא הָא אֲנָא מֵקִים יָת קְיָמִי עִמְּכוֹן וְעִם בְּנֵיכוֹן בַּתְרֵיכוֹן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Behold, I am making a covenant with you and with your offspring after you.

וְעִם כָּל נַפְשָׁא חַיְתָא דְּעִמְּכוֹן בְּעוֹפָא בִבְעִירָא וּבְכָל חֵיוַת אַרְעָא דְּעִמְּכוֹן מִכֹּל נַפְקֵי תֵבוֹתָא לְכֹל חַיַּת אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

And with every living creature that is with you, with the birds, the animals, and all the beasts of the earth with you, all who departed from the ark, including every living creature on earth.

וְאָקֵם יָת קְיָמִי עִמְּכוֹן וְלָא יִשְׁתֵּיצֵי כָל בִּשְׂרָא עוֹד מִמֵּי טוֹפָנָא וְלָא יְהֵי עוֹד טוֹפָנָא לְחַבָּלָא אַרְעָא:

I will keep My covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by flood waters, never again will flood waters destroy the earth.

וַאֲמַר יְיָ דָּא אָת קְיָם דִּי אֲנָא יָהֵב בֵּין מֵימְרִי וּבֵינֵיכוֹן וּבֵין כָּל נַפְשָׁא חַיְתָא דִּי עִמְּכוֹן לְדָרֵי עַלְמָא:

At a time when I bring clouds over the earth, the [rain] bow will be seen in the clouds.

וּדְכִירְנָא יָת קְיָמִי דִּי בֵין מֵימְרִי וּבֵינֵיכוֹן וּבֵין כָּל נַפְשָׁא חַיְתָא בְּכָל בִּשְׂרָא וְלָא יְהֵא עוֹד מַיָּא לְטוֹפָנָא לְחַבָּלָא כָל בִּשְׂרָא:
