Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth!
Ipapo Mwari akaropafadza Noa navanakomana vake, akati kwavari, “Berekanai muwande uye muzadze nyika.
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.
Mhuka dzose dzenyika neshiri dzose dzedenga dzichakutyai uye dzichakuvhundukai; zvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika, nehove dzose dzegungwa, zvakapiwa mumaoko enyu.
3 Every living creature that moves will be food for you, as well as all the green plants.
Zvinhu zvose zvinorarama nezvinokambaira zvichava zvokudya zvenyu. Sezvandakakupai muriwo munyoro, ndiri kukupai zvino zvinhu zvose.
4 But do not eat meat with the lifeblood still in it.
“Asi hamufaniri kudya nyama, ropa rayo roupenyu richiri mairi.
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.
Uye zvirokwazvo ndichatsvaka kuti muzvidavirire nokuda kweropa roupenyu hwenyu. Ndichatsvaka kuti muzvidavirire pamhuka dzose. Uye kubvawo pamunhu mumwe nomumwe, ndichatsvaka kuti azvidavirire nokuda kwoupenyu hwomunhu wokwake.
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.
“Ani naani anoteura ropa romunhu, ropa rake richateurwawo nomunhu; nokuti nomufananidzo waMwari, Mwari akaita munhu.
7 Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
Kana murimi, berekanai muwande; muwande panyika uye muwande kwazvo pamusoro payo.”
8 Then God told Noah and his sons who were there with him,
Ipapo Mwari akati kuna Noa navanakomana vaaiva navo,
9 “Listen, I'm making my agreement with you and your descendants,
“Zvino ndava kusimbisa sungano yangu newe uye nezvizvarwa zvako zvinotevera,
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.
uye nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvakanga zvinewe, shiri, zvipfuwo nemhuka dzose dzesango, dzose dziya dzakabuda newe muareka, zvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zviri panyika.
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.”
Ndiri kusimbisa sungano yangu newe: Zvipenyu zvose hazvichatongoparadzwizve nemvura yamafashamu; hakuchatongovizve namafashamu okuti aparadze nyika.”
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.
Uye Mwari akati, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandiri kuita pakati pangu nemi nezvisikwa zvose zvipenyu zvinemi, sungano yamarudzi ose ari kuzouya:
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.
Ndaisa muraravungu wangu mumakore, uye uchava chiratidzo chesungano pakati pangu nenyika.
14 Whenever I make clouds form over the earth and the rainbow appears,
Pose pandinouyisa makore pamusoro penyika, uye muraravungu ukaonekwa mumakore,
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.
ndicharangarira sungano yangu pakati pangu nemi nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvamarudzi ose. Mvura haingatongoitizve mafashamu kuti iparadze zvipenyu zvose.
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.”
Pose panoonekwa muraravungu mumakore, ndichaona ndigorangarira sungano yangu isingaperi pakati paMwari nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvemhando dzose panyika.”
17 Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.”
Saka Mwari akati kuna Noa, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandakasimbisa pakati pangu nezvipenyu zvose zviri panyika.”
18 Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.)
Vanakomana vaNoa vakabuda muareka vaiva Shemu, Hamu naJafeti. (Hamu akanga ari baba vaKenani.)
19 All the people who are spread over the world are descended from these three sons of Noah.
Ava ndivo vakanga vari vanakomana vatatu vaNoa, uye kwavari ndiko kwakabva vanhu vakapararira pamusoro penyika.
20 Noah started to cultivate the ground as a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
Noa akava murimi, akarima munda wamazambiringa.
21 He drank some of the wine he'd produced, got drunk, and fell asleep in his tent, naked.
Akati anwa imwe yewaini yawo, akadhakwa uye akavata akashama mutende rake.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's private parts and went and told his two brothers who were outside.
Hamu, baba vaKenani, akaona kusasimira kwababa vake akaudza mukoma wake nomununʼuna vake vaiva panze.
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.
Asi Shemu naJafeti vakatora nguo vakayiisa pamapfudzi avo; ipapo vakafamba nenhendashure vakafukidza baba vavo pakusasimira kwavo. Zviso zvavo zvakanga zvakatarisa parutivi kuitira kuti varege kuona kusasimira kwababa vavo.
24 When Noah woke up from his drunken sleep, he discovered what his youngest son had done,
Noa akati amuka kubva pawaini yake uye akaziva zvakanga zvaitwa kwaari nomwanakomana wake muduku,
25 and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
akati, “Kenani ngaatukwe! Achava muranda wavaranda kuvakuru vake.”
26 Then Noah continued, “May the Lord be blessed, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.
Akatiwo, “Ngaakudzwe Jehovha, Mwari waShemu! Kenani ngaave muranda waShemu.
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.”
Mwari ngaakurise nyika yaJafeti; Jafeti ngaagare mumatende aShemu, uye Kenani ngaave muranda wake.”
28 Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood.
Shure kwamafashamu, Noa akararama kwamakore mazana matatu namakumi mashanu.
29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
Pamwe chete, Noa akararama kwamakore mazana mapfumbamwe namakumi mashanu, uye akafa.
