Kamtawngnae 9
1 Hottelah Cathut ni Noah hoi a canaw yawhawinae a poe teh, ahnimouh koe, ca moi khe awh, pungdaw awh nateh, talai van kawi awh.
And God blesses Noah and his sons, and says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
2 Talai van moithang, saring phunkuep, kalvan e tava phunkuep, talai van a von hoi kâva e pueng, hoi tui thung e tanga pueng ni nangmouh na taki vaiteh a pâyaw awh han. Hote moithang pueng teh nangmae kut dawk na poe.
and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea—into your hand they have been given.
3 Kahring ni teh kâroe e pueng nangmouh han rawca lah ao han. Hnopai pueng, anhla kahring pueng totouh na poe awh han.
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
4 Hottelah a moi hah a hringnae a thi hoi hmai na cat awh mahoeh.
only flesh in its life—its blood—you do not eat.
5 Hahoi, nangmae hringnae thi phu teh ka hei han. Tami saring pueng koe ka hei han. Tami tangkuem e hmaunawnghanaw koe, tami e hringnae phu teh ka hei roeroe han.
And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man’s brother I require the life of man;
6 Apipatethai tami e thi ka palawng e tami teh tami ni thi palawng lah ao van han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami teh Cathut ni amae meikalat lah a sak e doeh.
whoever sheds man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He made man.
7 Hateiteh, nangmouh teh ca khe awh nateh pungdaw awh. Talai van vah canaw moi khe awh nateh pungdaw awh telah atipouh.
And you, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 Cathut ni Noah hoi a capanaw koe bout a dei pouh e teh,
And God speaks to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 Nangmouh hoi thoseh, nangmae catoun hoi thoseh,
“And I, behold, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10 Nangmouh koe kaawm e kahring e moithang pueng, tava pueng, saring pueng, long thung hoi tâcokhai e saring pueng koe lawkkam ka caksak han.
and with every living creature which [is] with you, among bird, among livestock, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the Ark—to every beast of the earth.
11 Nangmouh koe lawkkam ka caksak e teh, tuikamuem lahoi nâtuek hai moithang pueng ka raphoe mahoeh toe. Talai teh tui hoi ka raphoe mahoeh toe telah ati.
And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not cut off anymore by waters of a flood, and there is not a flood to destroy the earth anymore.”
12 Cathut ni kai hoi nang rahak, nang koe kaawm e kâroe ni teh kahring e pueng hoi na catounnaw rahak vah ka sak e lawkkam mitnoutnae doeh.
And God says, “This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to continuous generations;
13 Kaie salumpa hah tâmai dawk ka hruek vaiteh, kai hoi talai rahak lawkkam mitnoutnae lah ao han.
My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;
14 Kai ni tâmai ka tabo sak navah, tâmai dawk salumpa a kamnue han.
and it has come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow has been seen in the cloud,
15 Kai hoi nang rahak, kahring ni teh kâroe e pueng koe, ka lawkkam e pou ka pouk vaiteh, saring moithang pueng tuikamuem hoi ka raphoe mahoeh toe.
and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters no longer become a flood to destroy all flesh;
16 Tâmai dawk salumpa a paham e ka khet vaiteh, Cathut hoi talai van kaawm e kahring e saring moithang pueng rahak vah, yungyoe e lawkkam ka pouk han.
and the bow has been in the cloud, and I have seen it—to remember the perpetual covenant between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth.”
17 Hahoi Cathut ni Noah koe, hete teh kai hoi talai van kaawm e moithang saring pueng rahak vah, ka caksak e lawkkam mitnoutnae doeh telah atipouh.
And God says to Noah, “This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] on the earth.”
18 Long thung hoi a tâco navah Noah e a capanaw teh Shem, Ham, Japheth. Ham teh Kanaan e a na pa lah ao.
And the sons of Noah who are going out of the Ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.
19 Ahnimanaw kathum touh teh Noah e a capanaw lah ao teh, ahnimanaw koehoi talai van taminaw a pungdaw.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.
20 Noah ni law sak a kamtawng teh, misur takha a sak.
And Noah remains a man of the ground, and plants a vineyard,
21 Misurtui hai a nei dawkvah a parui teh tawngtai lah ao.
and drinks of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovers himself in the midst of the tent.
22 Kanaan e na pa Ham ni a na pa caici lah ao e a hmu teh alawilah kaawm e a hmaunawngha kahni touh koe a dei pouh.
And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to his two brothers outside.
23 Hatei Shem hoi Japheth ni teh hni a la roi teh a loung dawk a thueng roi teh, kâhnawn laihoi a na pa e caicinae teh a ramuk pouh roi. Ahnimouh roi teh alawilah a kangvawi roi dawkvah, a na pa caici lah ao e hah hmawt roi hoeh.
And Shem takes—Japheth also—the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father’s nakedness they have not seen.
24 Noah ni misur parui e a thangcuem torei teh a capa cahnoung e ni a sak e a panue.
And Noah awakens from his wine, and knows that which his young son has done to him,
25 Hatdawkvah, Kanaan teh thoebo lah awm seh. A hmau roi koe san thung dawk e san lah awm seh.
and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”
26 Hahoi, Shem e BAWIPA Cathut teh yawhawinae awm seh. Kanaan teh ahni koe san lah awm seh.
And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27 Cathut ni Japheth teh len nateh roung seh. Shem e lukkareiim dawk awm seh. Kanaan teh ahni koe san lah awm seh telah atipouh.
God gives beauty to Japheth, And he dwells in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.”
28 Noah teh tuikamuem a tho hnukkhu kum 350 a hring.
And Noah lives after the flood three hundred and fifty years;
29 Noah e a hringnae teh kum 950 touh a pha teh a due.
and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dies.
