Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth!
Basa naa ma, Lamatualain fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu Noh no ana nara. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ama bꞌonggi nae-nae, fo misofe raefafoꞌ a.
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.
Dei fo basa banda fui ra, mbuiꞌ ra, ma uꞌu ra ramatau hei. Hei musi tao mataꞌ neu se.
3 Every living creature that moves will be food for you, as well as all the green plants.
Hei bisa mia basa banda ra sisi na, onaꞌ hei mia huu-huuꞌ ra buna-bꞌoa na. Au fee basa ia ra neu nggi.
4 But do not eat meat with the lifeblood still in it.
Akaꞌ na, hei afiꞌ mia sisi feꞌe ma raaꞌ, huu banda hahae na sia raa na.
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.
Au uꞌudadadꞌiꞌ atahori onaꞌ mata Ngga boe. Huu naa, de afi tao misa atahori. Mete ma hambu atahori, do banda, tao risa atahori, naa, musi tao misa se boe. Hohoro-lalaneꞌ ia, mia Au nema.
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.
7 Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
Hei musi bꞌonggi mimihefu, fo misofe baliꞌ raefafoꞌ ia.”
8 Then God told Noah and his sons who were there with him,
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae,
9 “Listen, I'm making my agreement with you and your descendants,
“Ia naa, Au ae tao hehelu-fufuli o hei, no hei tititi-nonosi mara boe.
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.
Hehelu-fufuliꞌ ia dai basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra, mana dea rema ro hei mia ofai rala. Naeni, basa banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, ma mbuiꞌ ra.
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.”
Au hehelu ngga, taꞌo ia: Au nda afiꞌ fee oe mandali monaeꞌ sa ena, fo tao nisa basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra, ma nalutu basa raefafoꞌ ia.
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.
Au tao elus Ngga sia lalai, dadꞌi bukti fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu hehelu-fufuli Ngga nda mana neneneꞌetuꞌ sa. Au helu-fuli ia, neu hei, ma basa mana masodꞌa ra, ma raefafoꞌ ia.
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.
14 Whenever I make clouds form over the earth and the rainbow appears,
Mete ma hambu leleeꞌ sia lalai, ma elus a sou, naa, fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Au hehelu-fufuli ngga ia, nae: oe mandali monaeꞌ nda afiꞌ nalutu basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra sa ena. Au hehelu-fufuli ngga ia, nda neneneꞌetuꞌ sa. Au helu-fuli ia, neu nggi, mo basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra.”
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.
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.”
17 Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.”
18 Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.)
Noh ana nara mana dea rema mia ofai a, nara nara Sem, Yafet, ma Ham. (Ham naa, Kanaꞌan ama na).
19 All the people who are spread over the world are descended from these three sons of Noah.
Basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ tititi-nonosi nara laoꞌ mia Noh ana ka telu nara naa ra.
20 Noah started to cultivate the ground as a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
Noh ia, atahori mana ue rae. Ana mana tao naꞌahuluꞌ osi anggor.
21 He drank some of the wine he'd produced, got drunk, and fell asleep in his tent, naked.
Lao esa, ana ninu anggor losa mafu naeꞌ. De olu hendi bua-baꞌu na, ma sungguꞌ lengga-loli no maꞌahola na mia lalaa na rala.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's private parts and went and told his two brothers who were outside.
Ham nita ama na maꞌaholaꞌ ma, ana nela dea neu, nafadꞌe aꞌa na Sem no Yafet.
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.
De ruꞌa se haꞌi rala lafe esa, ma ndae dodoko neu aru nara. Dei de, ara lao rasadꞌedꞌeaꞌ lalaaꞌ rala reu, de luꞌumbanu rala ama na. No taꞌo naa, ara nda rita ama na maꞌahola na sa. Basa de, ara dea reu.
24 When Noah woke up from his drunken sleep, he discovered what his youngest son had done,
Noh mamafu na nae mopo ma, ana bubꞌuluꞌ ana muri na tatao na.
25 and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
Boe ma ana olaꞌ nae, “He! Kanaꞌan ama na! Au sumba-ndoon nggo! Dei fo ho dadꞌi ate sia aꞌa mara!
26 Then Noah continued, “May the Lord be blessed, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.
Au koa-kio LAMATUALAIN, huu Sem! Te Kanaꞌan, dadꞌi Sem ate na.
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.”
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain naloa Yafet rae na; Ma tititi-nonosi nara rasodꞌa dame ro Sem tititi-nonosi nara. Te hela fo Kanaꞌan dadꞌi Yafet ate na.”
28 Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood.
Oe mandali monaeꞌ a basa ma, Noh feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun telu lima nulu fai.
29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
Ana too natun sio lima nulu ma, ana mate.
