New Living Translation
Genesis 9:18-29
18The sons of Noah who came out of the boat with their father were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham is the father of Canaan.)
19From these three sons of Noah came all the people who now populate the earth.
20After the flood, Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.
21One day he drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent.
22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and went outside and told his brothers.
23Then Shem and Japheth took a robe, held it over their shoulders, and backed into the tent to cover their father. As they did this, they looked the other way so they would not see him naked.
24When Noah woke up from his stupor, he learned what Ham, his youngest son, had done.
25Then he cursed Canaan, the son of Ham: “May Canaan be cursed! May he be the lowest of servants to his relatives.”
26Then Noah said, “May the Lord, the God of Shem, be blessed, and may Canaan be his servant!
27May God expand the territory of Japheth! May Japheth share the prosperity of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”
28Noah lived another 350 years after the great flood.
29He lived 950 years, and then he died.
