Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth!
Awo Katonda n’awa Nuuwa ne batabani be omukisa n’agamba nti, “Muzaale mwale mweyongerenga nnyo mujjuze ensi.
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.
Ensolo zonna ez’omu nsiko, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga, na buli ekitambula ku nsi, buli ekiri mu nnyanja, byonna binaakutyanga, mbikuwadde mu mikono gyo.
3 Every living creature that moves will be food for you, as well as all the green plants.
Buli kintu ekiramu, ekitambula onookiryanga. Nga bwe nakuwa ebimera, kaakano nkuwa buli kintu.
4 But do not eat meat with the lifeblood still in it.
“Naye toolyenga nnyama ng’ekyalimu omusaayi gwayo.
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.
Era ndivunaana ayiwa omusaayi gwammwe ne nvunaana n’omuntu olw’omusaayi gw’ensolo ne muvunaana n’olw’omusaayi gwa muntu munne.
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.
“Buli anaayiwanga omusaayi gw’omuntu, n’ogugwe gunaayiibwanga, kubanga mu kifaananyi kya Katonda, Katonda mwe yakolera omuntu.
7 Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
Naye ggwe onoozaalanga ne weeyongera obungi. Oneeyongeranga ku nsi.”
8 Then God told Noah and his sons who were there with him,
Awo Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa ne batabani bwe baali
9 “Listen, I'm making my agreement with you and your descendants,
nti, “Laba nkola endagaano yange nammwe ne bonna abaliva mu mmwe oluvannyuma lwammwe,
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.
era na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri naawe: ebinyonyi, n’ensolo ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko zonna, ne byonna bye muvudde nabyo mu lyato, ne buli kitonde kyonna ku nsi.
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.”
Nkola endagaano yange eno nammwe: tewaabengawo mataba gazikiriza bulamu bwonna, tewakyaddayo kubaawo mataba gasaanyaawo nsi.”
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.
Katonda n’agamba nti, “Kano ke kabonero ke nteeka wakati wange nammwe, na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri nammwe, era n’ab’emirembe egiriddawo.
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.
Nteeka musoke wange mu kire, nga ke kabonero ak’endagaano wakati wange n’ensi.
14 Whenever I make clouds form over the earth and the rainbow appears,
“Kale olunaatuukanga, bwe nnaaleetaanga ekire ku nsi, musoke anaalabikiranga ku bire,
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.
ne nzijukira endagaano yange nammwe na buli kiramu; era amazzi tegakyaddayo kuzikiriza biramu.
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.”
Musoke bw’anaabanga ku bire, nnaamutunuuliranga ne nzijukira endagaano eteriggwaawo eriwo wakati wa Katonda na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri ku nsi.”
17 Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.”
Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa nti, “Kano ke kabonero ak’endagaano gye ntaddewo wakati wange ne buli kiramu ekiri ku nsi.”
18 Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.)
Batabani ba Nuuwa abaava mu lyato ye Seemu, ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi. Kaamu ye yali kitaawe wa Kanani.
19 All the people who are spread over the world are descended from these three sons of Noah.
Bonna abasatu be baali batabani ba Nuuwa; era okuva mu bano ensi yonna yajjula abantu.
20 Noah started to cultivate the ground as a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
Nuuwa n’atandika okulima n’asimba emizabbibu;
21 He drank some of the wine he'd produced, got drunk, and fell asleep in his tent, naked.
n’anywa omwenge n’atamiira, ne yeebaka mu weema ng’ali bwereere.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's private parts and went and told his two brothers who were outside.
Kaamu kitaawe wa Kanani n’alaba obwereere bwa kitaawe, n’abuulirako baganda be ababiri abaali ebweru.
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.
Awo ne bateeka olugoye ku bibegabega byabwe ne batambula ekyennyumannyuma, ne babikka ku bwereere bwa kitaabwe.
24 When Noah woke up from his drunken sleep, he discovered what his youngest son had done,
Omwenge bwe gwamwamukako, Nuuwa n’azuukuka n’ategeera mutabani we omuto ky’amukoze.
25 and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
N’akolimira ezzadde lya Kaamu n’agamba nti, “Kanani akolimirwe, abeere muddu wa baddu eri baganda be.”
26 Then Noah continued, “May the Lord be blessed, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.
Era n’agamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wange, awe Seemu omukisa, Kanani abeere muddu we.”
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.”
Katonda yaza Yafeesi, abeere mu weema za Seemu, Kanani abeere muddu we.
28 Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood.
Oluvannyuma lw’amataba Nuuwa yawangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bisatu mu ataano.
29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
Emyaka gyonna Nuuwa, gye yamala ku nsi ne giba lwenda mu amakumi ataano, n’afa.
