Genesis 9
1 And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, Be fertile, and have increase, and make the earth full.
Mawu yra Noa kple viawo, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Midzi ne miasɔ gbɔ ayɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.”
2 And the fear of you will be strong in every beast of the earth and every bird of the air; everything which goes on the land, and all the fishes of the sea, are given into your hands.
Vɔvɔ̃ aɖo anyigbadzilãwo katã kple dziƒoxevi ɖe sia ɖe kple lã ɖe sia ɖe si tana kple ƒumelãwo katã ɖe mia ŋu, eye metsɔ wo de asi na mi.
3 Every living and moving thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave you all green things.
Nu sia nu si le agbe, eye woʋãna la anye nuɖuɖu na mi. Abe ale si metsɔ amagbewo na mi kpɔ ene la, nenema ke mele nu sia nu tsɔm le asi dem na mi fifia.
4 But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.
“Ke mele be miaɖu lã si me ʋu metsyɔ le la o.
5 And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man.
Mabia akɔnta mi tso ʋu si le mia me la ŋu. Mabia akɔnta tso lã sia lã ŋu, eye mabia akɔnta ame sia ame hã tso nɔvia ƒe agbe ŋu.
6 Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his image.
“Ame sia ame si akɔ ame ƒe ʋu ɖi la, ame akɔ eya hã ƒe ʋu ɖi, elabena Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme me Mawu wɔe ɖo.
7 And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.
Ɛ̃, midzi ne miasɔ gbɔ fũu, mikpe xexe blibo la me ɖo, eye miaɖu edzi.”
8 And God said to Noah and to his sons,
Mawu gblɔ na Noa kple via ŋutsuwo be,
9 Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you,
“Azɔ la, mebla nu kple wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo
10 And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.
kpakple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si nɔ gbɔwò, xeviawo, aƒemelãawo, lã wɔadãawo katã, nu sia nu si do go tso aɖakaʋu la me kple wò, nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si le anyigba dzi.
11 And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.
Mebla nu kpli wò. Tsiɖɔɖɔ magatsi agbe nu na nu gbagbewo azɔ o. Tsi magaɖɔ, agatsrɔ̃ anyigba akpɔ o.
12 And God said, This is the sign of the agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations:
Metsɔ dzesi sia tre nubabla sia nu:
13 I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
Metsɔ nye anyieʋɔ de lilikpowo me abe nye nubabla ƒe dzesi na wò kple anyigbadzitɔwo katã ene va se ɖe xexea me ƒe nuwuwu.
14 And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,
Ne mena lilikpowo tsyɔ anyigba dzi la, woakpɔ anyieʋɔ le lilikpoawo me,
15 And I will keep in mind the agreement between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flow of waters causing destruction to all flesh.
ekema maɖo ŋku nye nubabla kpli wò kple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe dzi be tsiɖɔɖɔ magava atsrɔ̃ nu gbagbewo azɔ o.
16 And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.
Ɣe sia ɣi si anyieʋɔ ado ɖe lilikpo me la, makpɔe, eye maɖo ŋku nubabla mavɔ si le Mawu kple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si le anyigba dzi dome la dzi.”
17 And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the agreement which I have made between me and all flesh on the earth.
Eye Mawu gblɔ na Noa be, “Esiae nye nubabla si mewɔ kple nu gbagbe siwo katã le xexea me la ƒe dzesi.”
18 And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Noa ƒe vi etɔ̃awo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye Sem, Ham kple Yafet. (Ham nye Kanaantɔwo fofo.)
19 These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled.
Amegbetɔƒome blibo la do tso Noa ƒe viŋutsu etɔ̃ siawo me.
20 In those days Noah became a farmer, and he made a vine-garden.
Noa, ame si nye agbledela la de waingble.
21 And he took of the wine of it and was overcome by drink; and he was uncovered in his tent.
Esi wòno wain la ƒe ɖe la, emu aha, eye wòɖe amama mlɔ anyi ɖe eƒe agbadɔ me.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father unclothed, and gave news of it to his two brothers outside.
Ham, ame si nye Kanaantɔwo fofo la kpɔ fofoa ƒe amame, eye wòyi ɖagblɔe na nɔvia eveawo.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a robe, and putting it on their backs went in with their faces turned away, and put it over their father so that they might not see him unclothed.
Ale Sem kple Yafet lé avɔ aɖe ɖe abɔta, trɔ kɔ ɖe adzɔge, zɔ megbemegbe yi avɔgbadɔ la me, eye wotsɔ avɔ la tsyɔ na wo fofo.
24 And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,
Esime Noa ƒe ŋkume kɔ, eye wòse nu si Via ŋutsu suetɔ wɔ ɖe eŋu la,
25 Cursed be Canaan; let him be a servant of servants to his brothers.
egblɔ be, “Woaƒo fi ade Kanaan; ànye kluvi gblɔetɔ na nɔviwòwo.”
26 And he said, Praise to the Lord, the God of Shem; let Canaan be his servant.
Eyi edzi be, “Woayra Yehowa, Sem ƒe Mawu. Kanaan nazu kluvi na Sem.
27 May God make Japheth great, and let his living-place be in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.
Mawu nekeke Yafet ƒe anyigba ɖe edzi. Yafet nanɔ Sem ƒe agbadɔwo me, eye Kanaan nanye eƒe kluvi.”
28 And Noah went on living three hundred and fifty years after the great flow of waters;
Noa ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa etɔ̃ blaatɔ̃ le tsiɖɔɖɔ megbe.
29 all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end.
Exɔ ƒe alafa asiekɛ blaatɔ̃ hafi ku.
