Two months later

This means two months after Noah released the dove from the ark. It may be necessary to say this explicitly if it is not clear.

God said to Noah, “You and your family and all the animals ... many children and grandchildren and fill the earth.”

This is direct quotation. It can also be stated as an indirect quotation: “God told Noah that he and his family and all the animals could leave the boat then, and have many children and grandchildren and fill the earth.” (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations)

Have many children

To make sure it is clear that this was Gods command and desire, you could say, “You must have many children.” or, “I want you to have many children.”

fill the earth

If this is not clear, it may be necessary to say, “and fill the earth with people” or, “so that there will be many people living on the earth.”

came out

Some languages would say, “came out” instead. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-go)
