< Genesis 9 >
1 Ndipo Mulungu anadalitsa Nowa ndi ana ake aamuna nati kwa iwo, “Berekanani ndipo muchulukane ndi kudzaza dziko lapansi.
Ipapo Mwari akaropafadza Noa navanakomana vake, akati kwavari, “Berekanai muwande uye muzadze nyika.
2 Nyama zonse za dziko lapansi, ndi mbalame zonse za mlengalenga, ndi chamoyo chilichonse chokwawa, ndiponso nsomba zonse za ku nyanja; zidzakuopani ndipo ndazipereka kuti muzilamulire.
Mhuka dzose dzenyika neshiri dzose dzedenga dzichakutyai uye dzichakuvhundukai; zvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika, nehove dzose dzegungwa, zvakapiwa mumaoko enyu.
3 Tsopano chamoyo chilichonse chidzakhala chakudya chanu. Monga momwe ndinakupatsirani ndiwo zamasamba, tsopano ndikupatsaninso nyama iliyonse.
Zvinhu zvose zvinorarama nezvinokambaira zvichava zvokudya zvenyu. Sezvandakakupai muriwo munyoro, ndiri kukupai zvino zvinhu zvose.
4 “Koma musamadye nyama imene ikanali ndi magazi oyenda.
“Asi hamufaniri kudya nyama, ropa rayo roupenyu richiri mairi.
5 Aliyense wopha munthu adzaphedwa, nyama iliyonse yopha munthu idzaphedwa, munthu aliyense wopha munthu mnzake, adzaphedwa.
Uye zvirokwazvo ndichatsvaka kuti muzvidavirire nokuda kweropa roupenyu hwenyu. Ndichatsvaka kuti muzvidavirire pamhuka dzose. Uye kubvawo pamunhu mumwe nomumwe, ndichatsvaka kuti azvidavirire nokuda kwoupenyu hwomunhu wokwake.
6 “Aliyense wopha munthu, adzaphedwanso ndi munthu; pakuti Mulungu analenga munthu mʼchifanizo chake.
“Ani naani anoteura ropa romunhu, ropa rake richateurwawo nomunhu; nokuti nomufananidzo waMwari, Mwari akaita munhu.
7 Inu muberekane ndi kuchulukana kuti mudzaze dziko lonse lapansi ndi kuligonjetsa.”
Kana murimi, berekanai muwande; muwande panyika uye muwande kwazvo pamusoro payo.”
8 Mulungu anawuza Nowa ndi ana ake kuti,
Ipapo Mwari akati kuna Noa navanakomana vaaiva navo,
9 “Tsopano Ine ndapangana ndi iwe ndi zidzukulu zako zamʼtsogolomo,
“Zvino ndava kusimbisa sungano yangu newe uye nezvizvarwa zvako zvinotevera,
10 pamodzi ndi zamoyo zonse, mbalame, ziweto ndi nyama zonse za kuthengo, ndi zonse zimene zinatuluka mʼchombo pamodzi ndi iwe.
uye nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvakanga zvinewe, shiri, zvipfuwo nemhuka dzose dzesango, dzose dziya dzakabuda newe muareka, zvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zviri panyika.
11 Pangano langa ndi ili: Ine ndilonjeza kuti sindidzawononganso zamoyo ndi madzi a chigumula. Chigumula sichidzawononganso dziko lapansi.”
Ndiri kusimbisa sungano yangu newe: Zvipenyu zvose hazvichatongoparadzwizve nemvura yamafashamu; hakuchatongovizve namafashamu okuti aparadze nyika.”
12 Ndipo Mulungu anati, “Ine ndikupereka chizindikiro ichi cha pangano langa la pakati pa Ine ndi iwe, ana ako, zamoyo zonse, pamodzi ndi mibado ya mʼtsogolo.
Uye Mwari akati, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandiri kuita pakati pangu nemi nezvisikwa zvose zvipenyu zvinemi, sungano yamarudzi ose ari kuzouya:
13 Ndayika utawaleza wanga mʼmitambo, ndipo chidzakhala chizindikiro cha pangano langa ndi dziko lapansi.
Ndaisa muraravungu wangu mumakore, uye uchava chiratidzo chesungano pakati pangu nenyika.
14 Nthawi zonse pakakhala mitambo mu mlengalenga ndipo utawaleza uwoneka,
Pose pandinouyisa makore pamusoro penyika, uye muraravungu ukaonekwa mumakore,
15 ndizikumbukira pangano langa pakati pa Ine ndi inu ndi zolengedwa zonse. Madzi sadzakhalanso chigumula chowononga dziko lapansi.
ndicharangarira sungano yangu pakati pangu nemi nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvamarudzi ose. Mvura haingatongoitizve mafashamu kuti iparadze zvipenyu zvose.
16 Utawaleza ukamadzaoneka mʼmitambo, ndidzawuona ndi kukumbukira pangano losatha pakati pa Mulungu ndi zamoyo zonse pa dziko lapansi.”
Pose panoonekwa muraravungu mumakore, ndichaona ndigorangarira sungano yangu isingaperi pakati paMwari nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvemhando dzose panyika.”
17 Choncho Mulungu anati kwa Nowa, “Ichi ndiye chizindikiro cha pangano limene ndalichita pakati pa Ine ndi zamoyo zonse pa dziko lapansi.”
Saka Mwari akati kuna Noa, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandakasimbisa pakati pangu nezvipenyu zvose zviri panyika.”
18 Ana aamuna a Nowa amene anatuluka mʼchombo muja anali Semu, Hamu ndi Yafeti. Hamu anali abambo ake a Kanaani.
Vanakomana vaNoa vakabuda muareka vaiva Shemu, Hamu naJafeti. (Hamu akanga ari baba vaKenani.)
19 Ana aamuna a Nowa amenewa ndiwo anali makolo a anthu onse pa dziko lapansi.
Ava ndivo vakanga vari vanakomana vatatu vaNoa, uye kwavari ndiko kwakabva vanhu vakapararira pamusoro penyika.
20 Nowa anali munthu woyamba kulima munda wamphesa.
Noa akava murimi, akarima munda wamazambiringa.
21 Tsiku lina pamene Nowa anamwako vinyo wa zipatso za mʼmundawo analedzera ndipo anavula zovala zake zonse ndi kugona mu tenti yake ali maliseche.
Akati anwa imwe yewaini yawo, akadhakwa uye akavata akashama mutende rake.
22 Hamu, abambo ake a Kanaani ataona kuti abambo ake ali maliseche anakawuza abale ake awiri aja omwe anali panja.
Hamu, baba vaKenani, akaona kusasimira kwababa vake akaudza mukoma wake nomununʼuna vake vaiva panze.
23 Koma Semu ndi Yafeti anatenga chofunda nachiyika pa mapewa awo; ndipo anayenda chamʼmbuyo naphimba umaliseche wa abambo awo. Anafulatira kuti asaone umaliseche wa abambo awo.
Asi Shemu naJafeti vakatora nguo vakayiisa pamapfudzi avo; ipapo vakafamba nenhendashure vakafukidza baba vavo pakusasimira kwavo. Zviso zvavo zvakanga zvakatarisa parutivi kuitira kuti varege kuona kusasimira kwababa vavo.
24 Nowa atadzuka, kuledzera kutatha, ndikudziwa zimene mwana wake wamngʼono wamwamuna uja anamuchitira,
Noa akati amuka kubva pawaini yake uye akaziva zvakanga zvaitwa kwaari nomwanakomana wake muduku,
25 anati, “Atembereredwe Kanaani! Adzakhala kapolo wa pansi kwenikweni kwa abale ake.”
akati, “Kenani ngaatukwe! Achava muranda wavaranda kuvakuru vake.”
26 Anatinso, “Atamandike Yehova, Mulungu wa Semu! Kanaani akhale kapolo wa Semu.
Akatiwo, “Ngaakudzwe Jehovha, Mwari waShemu! Kenani ngaave muranda waShemu.
27 Mulungu akulitse dziko la Yafeti; Yafeti alandire madalitso pamodzi ndi Semu, ndipo Kanaani akhale kapolo wawo.”
Mwari ngaakurise nyika yaJafeti; Jafeti ngaagare mumatende aShemu, uye Kenani ngaave muranda wake.”
28 Chitatha chigumula, Nowa anakhala ndi moyo zaka 350.
Shure kwamafashamu, Noa akararama kwamakore mazana matatu namakumi mashanu.
29 Anamwalira ali ndi zaka 950.
Pamwe chete, Noa akararama kwamakore mazana mapfumbamwe namakumi mashanu, uye akafa.
