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.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Chineke gọziri Noa na ụmụ ya sị ha: “Mụọnụ, baanụ, jupụtanụ nʼụwa.
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.
Egwu unu na ụjọ unu ga-adakwasị anụmanụ niile nke ụwa nke dị ndụ, na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe, na ihe e kere eke niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, na azụ niile dị nʼosimiri. Ewerela m ha niile nyefee unu nʼaka.
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.
Ihe ọbụla dị ndụ nke na-ejegharị ejegharị ga-abụ nri unu. Enyela m unu ihe niile ugbu a dịka m si nye unu ahịhịa ndụ niile.
4 But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.
“Ma unu agaghị eri anụ ọbụla nke ọbara ndụ ya dị ya nʼahụ.
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.
Ma gbasara ọbara ndụ unu, unu ga-asara ọnụ unu nʼihu m. Anụmanụ ọbụla ga-asara ọnụ ya nʼihu m. Mmadụ ọbụla kwa ga-asara ọnụ ya nʼihu m banyere ndụ mmadụ ibe ya.
6 Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his image.
“Onye ọbụla wufuru ọbara mmadụ, nʼaka mmadụ ka a ga-awụfu ọbara nke ya, nʼihi nʼoyiyi Chineke ka Chineke mere mmadụ.
7 And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.
Ma unu onwe unu, mịanụ mkpụrụ, mụbaanụ, jupụtanụ ụwa, baakwanụ ụba nʼime ya.”
8 And God said to Noah and to his sons,
Chineke gwara Noa na ụmụ ya sị,
9 Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you,
“Ugbu a, ana m ehiwe ọgbụgba ndụ nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti agbụrụ unu ndị ga-anọchi unu,
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.
na nʼetiti ihe niile nwere ndụ nke unu na ha so, ụmụ anụ ufe, na ụmụ anụ ụlọ, na ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile, ndị ahụ niile so unu si nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta, bụ ihe niile nwere ndụ nʼụwa.
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.
Ebe ọ bụ na m ehiwela ọgbụgba ndụ m nʼetiti mụ na unu, ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na a ga-eji uju mmiri kpochapụ ihe niile e kere eke, ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na a ga-eji uju mmiri bibie ụwa.”
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:
Chineke kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ nke m na-etinye nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti ihe niile nwere ndụ so unu, ọgbụgba ndụ nke ga-adị nye ọgbọ niile na-abịa nʼihu.
13 I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
Etinyela m eke na egwurugwu m na mbara eluigwe, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na ụwa.
14 And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,
Mgbe ọbụla m zitere igwe ojii nʼụwa, ọ bụrụ na eke na egwurugwu apụta ìhè na mbara eluigwe,
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.
aga m echeta ọgbụgba ndụ m mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti mụ na ihe niile nwere ndụ site nʼihe niile e kere eke. Ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na mmiri ga-aghọ uju mmiri ibibi ihe niile nwere ndụ.
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.
Mgbe ọbụla eke na egwurugwu pụtara nʼigwe ojii, aga m ahụ ya cheta ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi nke dị nʼetiti Chineke na ihe niile nwere ndụ site nʼihe niile e kere eke nọ nʼelu ụwa.”
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.
Chineke gwara Noa sị, “Nke a bụ ihe ama ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ m hiwere nʼetiti mụ na ihe niile nwere ndụ nʼụwa.”
18 And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Noa ndị si nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta bụ Shem, Ham na Jafet. (Ham bụ nna Kenan.)
19 These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled.
Ndị a bụ ụmụ ndị ikom atọ Noa mụrụ. Ọ bụ site na ha ka ndị mmadụ niile gbasara nʼụwa niile si pụta.
20 In those days Noah became a farmer, and he made a vine-garden.
Noa, onye ọrụ ubi, bidoro ịkụ ubi vaịnị a gbara ogige.
21 And he took of the wine of it and was overcome by drink; and he was uncovered in his tent.
Mgbe ọ ṅụrụ mmanya si nʼubi a, ṅụbiga ya oke, ọ gbaara ọtọ dinaa ala nʼime ụlọ ikwu ya.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father unclothed, and gave news of it to his two brothers outside.
Ham, nna Kenan, hụrụ ọtọ nna ya, gaa kọọrọ ụmụnne ya abụọ nọ nʼezi ihe ọ hụrụ.
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.
Ma Shem na Jafet weere akwa tụkwasị nʼubu ha, were azụ jere ije ruo nʼebe nna ha nọ, hapụ akwa ahụ ka ọ dakwasị nna ha kpuchikwaa ọtọ ya. Ma ha chepuru ihu nʼebe ọzọ mgbe ha na-eme nke a, nʼihi ya, ha elekwasịghị ọtọ nna ha anya.
24 And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,
Mgbe Noa si nʼụra mmanya ya bilie, chọpụta ihe nwa ya nwoke nke nta mere,
25 Cursed be Canaan; let him be a servant of servants to his brothers.
o kwuru sị, “Onye a bụrụ ọnụ ka Kenan bụ! Ohu ndị ohu, ka ọ ga-abụrụ ụmụnne ya.”
26 And he said, Praise to the Lord, the God of Shem; let Canaan be his servant.
Ọ sịkwara, “Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke Shem. Ka Kenan bụrụ ohu Shem.
27 May God make Japheth great, and let his living-place be in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.
Ka Chineke mee ka ebe obibi Jafet saa mbara, ka Jafet biri nʼụlọ ikwu Shem, meekwa ka Kenan bụrụ ohu ya.”
28 And Noah went on living three hundred and fifty years after the great flow of waters;
Mgbe uju mmiri ahụ gabigachara, Noa biri ndụ narị afọ atọ na iri afọ ise ọzọ.
29 all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end.
Ọnụọgụgụ afọ Noa niile mgbe ọ nwụrụ, bụ narị afọ itoolu na iri afọ ise.
