Genesis 9
1 Sithaw mah Noah hoi a caanawk to tahamhoihaih paek, nihcae khaeah, athaih athai oh, pung oh loe, long ah koi oh, tiah a naa.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 Long nui ih moi boih, van ih tavaa boih, kavak angtawt thaih long nui ih moi boih, tuipui nui ih tanganawk boih mah, nangcae to zii o ueloe, tasoeh o tih; to moinawk to nangcae ban ah kang paek boih boeh.
The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
3 Kangtawt moe, hinghaih tawn angtawt thaih hmuen boih to nang hanah buh ah om tih; kahing aannawk hoi hmuen boih nangcae hanah kang paek boeh.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
4 Toe hinghaih tawn moi ih athii to caa o hmah.
But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
5 Na hing o haih, nangcae ih athii to ka suk han; kami hoi moinawk to lok ka caek boih han; kami boih mah angmacae nawkamya ih athii to palong o pongah lok ka caek han.
I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
6 Sithaw angmah ih krang hoi kanghmong ah kami to sak pongah, kami ih athii palong kami loe, anih doeh kami mah athii longsak toeng tih.
Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
7 Toe nang loe, thingthai athai ah loe, pung ah; long ah caa sah o mang ah loe, pung oh, tiah a naa.
Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 To pacoengah Sithaw mah Noah hoi a caanawk khaeah,
God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 Khenah, nang hoi lokmaihaih to ka sak moe, nang pacoeng kaom na caanawk,
“As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10 nang hoi nawnto kaom hinghaih tawn moinawk, tavaanawk, pacah ih moinawk, long ih moisannawk boih, palong thung hoi tacawt moinawk boih, long ih moinawk boih hoiah doeh, lokmaihaih to ka sak.
and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
11 Nang hoi ka sak ih lokmaihaih to ka caksak han; hinghaih tawn moinawk boih loe natuek naah doeh tui uemhaih hoiah kam rosak mak ai boeh; long amrosak hanah natuek naah doeh tui uemhaih thok mak ai boeh.
I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 Sithaw mah, Hae loe nang hoi kai salak, nang hoi nawnto kaom moinawk boih salakah dungzan khoek to ka sak ih lokmaih angmathaih ah om tih.
God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 Tamai thungah khungzae to ka suek, to loe kai hoi long salakah lokmaih angmathaih ah om tih.
I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 Long ah tamai to ka taboksak naah, tamai nuiah khungzae to amtueng tih;
When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 moinawk amrosak boih hanah tui uemhaih om let mak ai boeh, tiah aihnik salak hoi hinghaih tawn moinawk boih salakah ka sak ih, lokmaihaih to ka pahnet mak ai.
I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Tamai thungah khungzae kamzam ka hnuk nathung, long nui ih hinghaih tawn moinawk boih hoi Sithaw salakah sak ih dungzan lokmaihaih to ka poek poe han, tiah thuih.
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17 Sithaw mah Noah khaeah, Hae loe kai hoi long nuiah kaom hinghaih tawn moinawk boih salakah ka sak ih, lokmaihaih ah oh, tiah a naa.
God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
18 Palong thung hoi tacawt Noah ih capa thumtonawk loe, Shem, Ham hoi Japheth; Ham loe Kanan ih ampa ah oh.
The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Nichae loe Noah ih caa ah oh o moe, nihcae thung hoiah ni long boih ah kaminawk to pung o.
These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20 Noah loe lawk phrawk kami ah oh pongah, misur takha to sak;
Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
21 anih loe misurtui to naek moe, misurtui paquih pongah, angmah ih kahni imthung ah bangkrai ah angsong sut.
He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22 Kanaan ampa Ham loe bangkrai ah kaom ampa to hnuk naah, tasa bangah kaom amya hnik khaeah a thuih pae.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23 Toe Shem hoi Japheth mah loe kahni to lak hoi moe, palaeng ah a thuengh hoi tahang pacoengah, hnukbang angqoi hoi moe, bangkrai ah kaom ampa to a khuk hoi; hnukbang angqoi hoi pongah bangkrai ah kaom ampa to hnu hoi ai.
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
24 Noah misurtui paquihaih cai naah loe, a capa kanawk mah a nuiah sak ih hmuen to panoek.
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 To naah Kanaan loe tangoenghaih to zok nasoe loe, amya hnik ih tamna ah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26 To pacoengah anih mah, Shem ih Angraeng Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe loe, Kanaan loe Shem ih tamna ah om nasoe.
He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27 Sithaw mah Japheth ih prae to kawksak nasoe loe, Japheth loe Shem ih kahni im ah om nasoe; Kanaan loe anih ih tamna ah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
28 Noah loe tui uemhaih phak pacoengah, saning cumvai thum, qui pangato hing vop.
Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
29 Noah loe saning cumvai takawt, qui pangato hing pacoengah duek.
All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
