< Genesis 9 >

1 And God blessed Noah and his sonnes, and said to them, Bring foorth fruite, and multiplie, and replenish the earth.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩrathima Nuhu na ariũ ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ciaranai na mũingĩhe na mũiyũre thĩ.
2 Also the feare of you, and the dread of you shalbe vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery foule of the heauen, vpon all that moueth on the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they deliuered.
Nyamũ ciothe cia thĩ, na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, ciothe nĩ irĩmwĩtigagĩra na imakage nĩ inyuĩ, ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, na thamaki ciothe cia iria-inĩ; nĩndacineana moko-inĩ manyu.
3 Euery thing that moueth and liueth, shall be meate for you: as the greene herbe, haue I giuen you all things.
Kĩndũ gĩothe gĩtũũraga muoyo na gĩthiiaga-rĩ, gĩgũtuĩka irio cianyu. O ta ũrĩa ndamũheire mĩmera ĩrĩa mĩruru mũrĩĩage, rĩu nĩ ndamũhe indo ciothe ituĩke irio cianyu.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, I meane, with the blood thereof, shall ye not eate.
“No rĩrĩ, mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ na thakame, tondũ thakame nĩyo muoyo.
5 For surely I will require your blood, wherein your liues are: at the hand of euery beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, euen at the hand of a mans brother will I require the life of man.
Na ti-itherũ nĩngarĩhanĩria gũitwo gwa thakame yanyu. Ndĩmĩrĩhanĩrie o na kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ o na ĩrĩkũ. Nake mũndũ angĩita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, o nake nĩakarĩhio thakame ĩyo.
6 Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.
“Mũndũ o wothe ũgaita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, thakame yake o nayo ĩgaitwo nĩ mũndũ; nĩgũkorwo Ngai ombire mũndũ na mũhianĩre wake.
7 But bring ye forth fruite and multiplie: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein.
No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciaranai na mũingĩhe; muongerereke thĩ na mũiyũre kuo.”
8 God spake also to Noah and to his sonnes with him, saying,
Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu hamwe na ariũ ake atĩrĩ,
9 Behold, I, euen I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you,
“Rĩu niĩ nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ, na njiaro cianyu iria igooka thuutha wanyu,
10 And with euery liuing creature that is with you, with the foule, with the cattell, and with euery beast of the earth with you, from all that goe out of the Arke, vnto euery beast of the earth.
o na hamwe na kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo kĩa iria mũraarĩ nacio; nĩcio nyoni, na mahiũ o na nyamũ cia gĩthaka ciothe iria cioimire thabina hamwe na inyuĩ, ici nĩcio ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ.
11 And my couenant will I establish with you, that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by ye waters of the flood, neither shall there be a flood to destroy the earth any more.
Nĩndathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ: Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ muoyo wothe ũkaaniinwo na mũiyũro wa maaĩ; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ gũkaagĩa mũiyũro wa maaĩ wa kũniina thĩ.”
12 Then God saide, This is the token of the couenant which I make betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing, that is with you vnto perpetuall generations.
Ningĩ Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndĩrarĩkanĩra na inyuĩ na ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo irĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa njiarwa ciothe iria igooka:
13 I haue set my bowe in the cloude, and it shalbe for a signe of the couenant betweene me and the earth.
Nĩndekĩra mũkũnga-mbura wakwa matu-inĩ, na nĩguo ũgũtuĩka kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa na andũ a thĩ.
14 And when I shall couer the earth with a cloud, and the bowe shall be seene in the cloude,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngaarehe matu igũrũ rĩa thĩ, naguo mũkũnga-mbura woneke matu-inĩ macio,
15 Then will I remember my couenant, which is betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing in all flesh, and there shalbe no more waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
nĩndĩĩririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gatagatĩ kanyu na niĩ, na gatagatĩ ga ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe iria itũũraga muoyo. Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ maaĩ magatuĩka mũiyũro wa kũniina mĩoyo yothe.
16 Therefore the bowe shalbe in the cloude, that I may see it, and remember the euerlasting couenant betweene God, and euery liuing thing in all flesh that is vpon the earth.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũkũnga-mbura ũrĩonekaga itu-inĩ-rĩ, ndĩĩwonaga ngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene gatagatĩ ka Ngai na ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe iria itũũraga muoyo gũkũ thĩ.”
17 God said yet to Noah, This is the signe of the couenant, which I haue established betweene me and all flesh that is vpon the earth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndathondeka gatagatĩ gakwa na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ.”
18 Nowe the sonnes of Noah going foorth of the Arke, were Shem and Ham and Iapheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
Ariũ a Nuhu arĩa moimire thabina maarĩ Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu. (Hamu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Kaanani).
19 These are the three sonnes of Noah, and of them was the whole earth ouerspred.
Acio atatũ nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Nuhu, na kuuma kũrĩ o gũkiuma andũ arĩa othe maahurunjirwo thĩ yothe.
20 Noah also began to be an husband man and planted a vineyard.
Nuhu aarĩ mũrĩmi, na nĩahaandire mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ.
21 And he drunke of ye wine and was drunken, and was vncouered in the middes of his tent.
Rĩrĩa aanyuire ndibei ya mĩthabibũ ĩyo, akĩrĩĩo, na agĩkoma thĩinĩ wa hema yake atehumbĩrĩte.
22 And when Ham the father of Canaan sawe the nakednesse of his father, he tolde his two brethren without.
Hamu, ithe wa Kaanani, nĩonire njaga ya ithe, na akĩĩra ariũ a nyina eerĩ arĩa maarĩ nja.
23 Then tooke Shem and Iapheth a garment, and put it vpon both their shoulders, and went backwarde, and couered the nakednesse of their father with their faces backwarde: so they sawe not their fathers nakednesse.
No Shemu na Jafethu makĩoya nguo makĩigĩrĩra ciande; magĩthiĩ na kĩĩhutaatĩ, makĩhumbĩra njaga ya ithe. Mothiũ mao maahũgũkĩte na kũngĩ nĩguo matikoone njaga ya ithe wao.
24 Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him,
Rĩrĩa Nuhu aarĩĩũkirwo na akĩmenya ũrĩa mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini aamwĩkĩte-rĩ,
25 And said, Cursed be Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall he be vnto his brethren.
akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaanani aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi! Agaatuĩka ngombo ya kũhinyĩrĩrio biũ nĩ ariũ a nyina.”
26 He said moreouer, blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogaathwo, o we Ngai wa Shemu! Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo ya Shemu.
27 God perswade Iapheth, that he may dwell in the tentes of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
Ngai aroaramia mĩhaka ya Jafethu; Jafethu arotũũra hema-inĩ cia Shemu, na Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo yake.”
28 And Noah liued after the flood three hundreth and fiftie yeeres.
Thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũthira-rĩ, Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matatũ na mĩrongo ĩtano.
29 So all the dayes of Noah were nine hundreth and fiftie yeeres: and he died.
Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka magana kenda na mĩrongo ĩtano, agĩcooka agĩkua.
