【Genesis 9:20,21 李杜圣经札记】

20 挪亚作起农夫来，栽了一个葡萄园。 

21 他喝了园中的酒便醉了，在帐棚里赤着身子。

ERV:

20 Noah became a farmer and planted a vineyard. 

21 One day Noah made some wine. He got drunk, went into his tent, and took off all his clothes.

NIV:

20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. 

21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 

评述：

NIV版本里的“农夫”，用a man of soil，读来更有文采。锄禾日当午，汗滴禾下土的形象跃然纸上。

按照人类发展史，在诺亚的时代，人类从采集，经游牧，再进步到农耕文明。葡萄种植，在当下的亚美尼亚，依然方兴未艾。

这是人类历史上第一个酒后失态的案例。好不容易熬过大洪水，没过几天好日子，英雄诺亚便忘乎所以，不顾吃禁果后所知的羞耻。人类之软弱与堕落，可见一斑。
