Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth!
Te vaengah Pathen loh Noah neh a ca rhoek te yoethen a paek tih amih taengah, “Pungtai uh lamtah na ping uh vaengah diklai te khulae uh.
2 All animals will be very afraid of you—this includes all the birds, all the creatures that run along the ground, and all the fish in the sea. You are in charge of them.
Nangmih kah rhimomnah neh na paepnah tah diklai mulhing boeih so neh vaan kah vaa boeih soah, diklai ah aka colh boeih soah, tuitunli kah nga boeih soah om ni. Nangmih kut ah kam paek coeng.
3 Every living creature that moves will be food for you, as well as all the green plants.
A cungkuem he nangmih taengah kan paek tih mulhing rhulcai boeih khaw baelhing hingsuep bangla nangmih ham cakok la om ni.
4 But do not eat meat with the lifeblood still in it.
Tedae maeh kah a hinglu a thii te na ca uh mahpawh.
5 If your blood is shed by any animal, I will call it to account; and if your blood is shed by any person, I will call that person to account.
Te phoeiah nangmih kah hinglu ham nangmih kah thii te hmantang la ka suk ni. Mulhing boeih kah kut lamkah khaw ka suk vetih Hlang kut lamkah khaw, a manuca kut lamkah khaw, hlang kah hinglu te ka suk ni.
6 Whoever sheds the blood of a human being will have their blood shed by human beings. For God made human beings in his image.
Hlang he Pathen kah muei la a saii dongah hlang kah thii aka long sak hlang tetah amah thii long van ni.
7 Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
Tedae nangmih tah pungtai uh lamtah ping uh. Diklai hmanah luem uh lamtah ping uh,” a ti nah.
8 Then God told Noah and his sons who were there with him,
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Noah neh amah taengkah a ca rhoek te a voek.
9 “Listen, I'm making my agreement with you and your descendants,
Te vaengah, “Kamah loh ka paipi he, nang taeng neh nang phoeikah na tiingan taengah,
10 and with all the animals around you—the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals of the earth—every animal that accompanied you on the ark.
nang taengkah aka hing hinglu boeih taengah, vaa taengah, rhamsa taengah khaw, diklai mulhing boeih taengah khaw, nangmih taeng neh lawng khui lamkah aka lo boeih taengah khaw, diklai mulhing boeih taengah khaw, ka cak sak coeng ne.
11 In my agreement I'm promising you that I won't ever again destroy all life by means of a flood—there won't be a destructive flood like this again.”
Nangmih taengah ka paipi te ka ling coeng dongah pumsa boeih te tuilii tui neh koep ka huih voel mahpawh. Diklai he phae ham tuilii khaw koep om voel mahpawh he,” a ti.
12 Then God said, “I'm going to give you a sign to confirm the agreement I'm making between me and you and all living creatures, an agreement that will last for all generations.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Kai loh kamah laklo neh nang laklo ah khaw, aka hing hinglu boeih laklo neh kumhal ham nangmih kah thawnpuei taengah ka paek paipi kah miknoek tah he ni.
13 I've placed my rainbow in the clouds, and this will be the sign of my agreement with you and with all life on earth.
Kai kah pampacung te cingmai dongah ka khueh vetih kai laklo neh diklai laklo ah paipi kah miknoek la om ni.
14 Whenever I make clouds form over the earth and the rainbow appears,
Diklai hmanah cingmai ka om sak vaengah pampacung te khaw cingmai dongah tueng ni.
15 it will remind me of my agreement between me and you and every kind of living creature that floodwaters won't ever again destroy all life.
Te vaengah pumsa boeih phae ham tuilii tui koep halo voel boel saeh tila kai laklo neh nangmih laklo ah khaw aka hing hinglu boeih neh pumsa boeih taengah ka khueh ka paipi te ka poek ni.
16 I will see the rainbow in the clouds and it will remind me of the eternal agreement between God and every kind of living creature that lives on the earth.”
Cingmai dongah pampacung te a om vaengah ka sawt vetih Pathen laklo neh diklai hmankah aka hing hinglu boeih, pumsa boeih neh ka khueh dungyan paipi te ka poek ni,” a ti.
17 Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.”
Te dongah Pathen loh Noah taengah, “Hekah he tah kai laklo neh diklai hmanah pumsa boeih laklo ah ka ling paipi kah miknoek ni,” a ti nah.
18 Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.)
Lawng khui lamkah halo uh vaengah Noah ca rhoek Shem, Ham, Japheth, om uh tih Ham tah Kanaan kah a napa la om.
19 All the people who are spread over the world are descended from these three sons of Noah.
Amih pathum tah Noah kah a ca rhoek tih amih lamkah ni diklai pum ah a haeh uh.
20 Noah started to cultivate the ground as a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
Te vaengah Noah te lo tawn hlang la om tih misur a tue.
21 He drank some of the wine he'd produced, got drunk, and fell asleep in his tent, naked.
Te dongah misurtui te a ok tih a rhuihmil dongah a dap khui ah rha uh.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's private parts and went and told his two brothers who were outside.
Kanaan napa Ham loh a napa kah a yah te a hmuh vaengah kawtpoeng kah a mana rhoi taengah puen.
23 Shem and Japheth picked up a cloak and, holding it over their shoulders, walked in backwards and covered up their father's privates. They made sure to look the other way so they wouldn't see their father's privates.
Tedae Shem neh Japheth long tah himbai te a loh rhoi tih amamih rhoi kah a nam ah a khueh rhoi. Te phoeiah a hnuk long caehnawt rhoi tih a napa kah a yah te a khuk pah rhoi. Tedae a hmai khoep a hoi rhoi dongah a napa kah a yah te hmu rhoi pawh.
24 When Noah woke up from his drunken sleep, he discovered what his youngest son had done,
Noah te a misurtui lamloh a haenghang vaengah a capa a noi loh anih soah a saii te a ming.
25 and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
Te dongah Kanaan taengah thae a phoei tih, “A mana rhoi taengah sal rhoek khuikah sal la om saeh,” a ti nah.
26 Then Noah continued, “May the Lord be blessed, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.
Te phoeiah, “Shem kah BOEIPA Pathen te a yoethen saeh lamtah anih ham sal la Kanaan om saeh.
27 May God give Japtheth plenty of space to accommodate his many descendants, and may they live at peace among Shem's people, and may Canaan also be his slave.”
Pathen loh Japheth te yoek saeh lamtah Shem kah dap khuiah rhaehrhong saeh. Kanaan tah anih ham sal la om saeh,” a ti.
28 Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood.
Tuilii phoei lamkah Noah te kum ya thum neh kum sawmnga hing coeng.
29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
Te dongah Noah kah khohnin he a pum la kum ya ko neh kum sawmnga a lo phoeiah duek.
