COMMENTARY ON GENESIS
18. And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
18. Erant autem filii Noah qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham, et Jepheth: et Cham est pater Chenaan.
19. These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
19. Tres isti, filii Noah: et ab istis dispersa est universa terra.
20. And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
20. Coepit vero Noah colere terram, et plantavit vineam.
21. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
21. Et bibit de vino et inebriatus est, et discooperuit se in medio tabernaculi sui.
22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
22. Et vidit Cham pater Chenaan turpitudinem patris sui, et nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis in platea.
23. 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.
23. Et tulerunt Sem et Jepheth vestimentum, et posuerunt super humerum ambo ipse: et euntes retrorsum, operuerunt turpitudinem patris sui: et facies eorum erant retrorsum, et turpitudinem patris sui non viderunt.
24. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
24. Expergefactus autem Noah a vino suo, cognovit quod fecerat sibi filius suus minor.
25. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
25. Et dixit, Maledictus Chenaan, servus servorum erit fratribus suis.
