Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sonnes, and said to them, Bring foorth fruite, and multiplie, and replenish the earth.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Chineke gọziri Noa na ụmụ ya sị ha: “Mụọnụ, baanụ, jupụtanụ nʼụwa.
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.
Egwu unu na ụjọ unu ga-adakwasị anụmanụ niile nke ụwa nke dị ndụ, na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe, na ihe e kere eke niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, na azụ niile dị nʼosimiri. Ewerela m ha niile nyefee unu nʼaka.
3 Euery thing that moueth and liueth, shall be meate for you: as the greene herbe, haue I giuen you all things.
Ihe ọbụla dị ndụ nke na-ejegharị ejegharị ga-abụ nri unu. Enyela m unu ihe niile ugbu a dịka m si nye unu ahịhịa ndụ niile.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, I meane, with the blood thereof, shall ye not eate.
“Ma unu agaghị eri anụ ọbụla nke ọbara ndụ ya dị ya nʼahụ.
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.
Ma gbasara ọbara ndụ unu, unu ga-asara ọnụ unu nʼihu m. Anụmanụ ọbụla ga-asara ọnụ ya nʼihu m. Mmadụ ọbụla kwa ga-asara ọnụ ya nʼihu m banyere ndụ mmadụ ibe ya.
6 Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.
“Onye ọbụla wufuru ọbara mmadụ, nʼaka mmadụ ka a ga-awụfu ọbara nke ya, nʼihi nʼoyiyi Chineke ka Chineke mere mmadụ.
7 But bring ye forth fruite and multiplie: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein.
Ma unu onwe unu, mịanụ mkpụrụ, mụbaanụ, jupụtanụ ụwa, baakwanụ ụba nʼime ya.”
8 God spake also to Noah and to his sonnes with him, saying,
Chineke gwara Noa na ụmụ ya sị,
9 Behold, I, euen I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you,
“Ugbu a, ana m ehiwe ọgbụgba ndụ nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti agbụrụ unu ndị ga-anọchi unu,
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.
na nʼetiti ihe niile nwere ndụ nke unu na ha so, ụmụ anụ ufe, na ụmụ anụ ụlọ, na ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile, ndị ahụ niile so unu si nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta, bụ ihe niile nwere ndụ nʼụwa.
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.
Ebe ọ bụ na m ehiwela ọgbụgba ndụ m nʼetiti mụ na unu, ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na a ga-eji uju mmiri kpochapụ ihe niile e kere eke, ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na a ga-eji uju mmiri bibie ụwa.”
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.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ nke m na-etinye nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti ihe niile nwere ndụ so unu, ọgbụgba ndụ nke ga-adị nye ọgbọ niile na-abịa nʼihu.
13 I haue set my bowe in the cloude, and it shalbe for a signe of the couenant betweene me and the earth.
Etinyela m eke na egwurugwu m na mbara eluigwe, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na ụwa.
14 And when I shall couer the earth with a cloud, and the bowe shall be seene in the cloude,
Mgbe ọbụla m zitere igwe ojii nʼụwa, ọ bụrụ na eke na egwurugwu apụta ìhè na mbara eluigwe,
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.
aga m echeta ọgbụgba ndụ m mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti mụ na ihe niile nwere ndụ site nʼihe niile e kere eke. Ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na mmiri ga-aghọ uju mmiri ibibi ihe niile nwere ndụ.
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.
Mgbe ọbụla eke na egwurugwu pụtara nʼigwe ojii, aga m ahụ ya cheta ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi nke dị nʼetiti Chineke na ihe niile nwere ndụ site nʼihe niile e kere eke nọ nʼelu ụwa.”
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.
Chineke gwara Noa sị, “Nke a bụ ihe ama ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ m hiwere nʼetiti mụ na ihe niile nwere ndụ nʼụwa.”
18 Nowe the sonnes of Noah going foorth of the Arke, were Shem and Ham and Iapheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Noa ndị si nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta bụ Shem, Ham na Jafet. (Ham bụ nna Kenan.)
19 These are the three sonnes of Noah, and of them was the whole earth ouerspred.
Ndị a bụ ụmụ ndị ikom atọ Noa mụrụ. Ọ bụ site na ha ka ndị mmadụ niile gbasara nʼụwa niile si pụta.
20 Noah also began to be an husband man and planted a vineyard.
Noa, onye ọrụ ubi, bidoro ịkụ ubi vaịnị a gbara ogige.
21 And he drunke of ye wine and was drunken, and was vncouered in the middes of his tent.
Mgbe ọ ṅụrụ mmanya si nʼubi a, ṅụbiga ya oke, ọ gbaara ọtọ dinaa ala nʼime ụlọ ikwu ya.
22 And when Ham the father of Canaan sawe the nakednesse of his father, he tolde his two brethren without.
Ham, nna Kenan, hụrụ ọtọ nna ya, gaa kọọrọ ụmụnne ya abụọ nọ nʼezi ihe ọ hụrụ.
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.
Ma Shem na Jafet weere akwa tụkwasị nʼubu ha, were azụ jere ije ruo nʼebe nna ha nọ, hapụ akwa ahụ ka ọ dakwasị nna ha kpuchikwaa ọtọ ya. Ma ha chepuru ihu nʼebe ọzọ mgbe ha na-eme nke a, nʼihi ya, ha elekwasịghị ọtọ nna ha anya.
24 Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him,
Mgbe Noa si nʼụra mmanya ya bilie, chọpụta ihe nwa ya nwoke nke nta mere,
25 And said, Cursed be Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall he be vnto his brethren.
o kwuru sị, “Onye a bụrụ ọnụ ka Kenan bụ! Ohu ndị ohu, ka ọ ga-abụrụ ụmụnne ya.”
26 He said moreouer, blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
Ọ sịkwara, “Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke Shem. Ka Kenan bụrụ ohu Shem.
27 God perswade Iapheth, that he may dwell in the tentes of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
Ka Chineke mee ka ebe obibi Jafet saa mbara, ka Jafet biri nʼụlọ ikwu Shem, meekwa ka Kenan bụrụ ohu ya.”
28 And Noah liued after the flood three hundreth and fiftie yeeres.
Mgbe uju mmiri ahụ gabigachara, Noa biri ndụ narị afọ atọ na iri afọ ise ọzọ.
29 So all the dayes of Noah were nine hundreth and fiftie yeeres: and he died.
Ọnụọgụgụ afọ Noa niile mgbe ọ nwụrụ, bụ narị afọ itoolu na iri afọ ise.
