< Genesis 9 >

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Na ka manaakitia a Noa ratou ko ana tama e te Atua. I mea ia ki a ratou, Kia hua, kia tini koutou, kia kapi ano hoki te whenua i a koutou.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, and upon all wherewith the ground teemeth, and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
A ko to koutou wehi, ko to koutou whakamataku, ka tau ki runga ki nga kirehe katoa o te whenua, ki nga manu katoa o te rangi, ki nga mea katoa e ngahue ana i runga i te whenua, ki nga ika katoa ano hoki o te moana; kua hoatu ena mea ki to koutou ringa.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be for food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
Hei kai ma koutou nga mea korikori katoa, nga mea ora; rite tonu ki taku hoatutanga i nga otaota matomato taku hoatutanga i nga mea katoa ki a koutou.
4 Only flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Otiia kaua e kainga e koutou te kikokiko me tona ora, ara ko ona toto.
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.
Na ko o koutou toto, ko te toto e ora nei koutou, he pono ka rapua e ahau he utu; ka rapua e ahau he utu i nga kirehe katoa; i te tangata ano hoki, ka rapua e ahau he utu mo te matenga o te tangata i te teina o ia tangata, o ia tangata.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made He man.
Ko ia e whakaheke i nga toto o te tangata, ma te tangata ano ona toto e whakaheke: no te Atua hoki te ahua i hanga ai e ia te tangata.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.'
A ko koutou, kia hua, kia tini; kia nui to koutou uri ki runga kite whenua, kia tini hoki ki reira.
8 And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:
A i korero te Atua ki a Noa ratou ko ana tama, i mea,
9 'As for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
Ko ahau nei, nana, ka whakapumau ahau i taku kawenata ki a koutou, ki to koutou uri i muri i a koutou;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the fowl, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
Ki nga mea ora katoa hoki i a koutou, ki te manu, ki te kararehe, ki nga kirehe katoa hoki o te whenua e noho ana i a koutou; ki nga mea katoa i puta mai i roto i te aaka, puta noa ki nga kirehe katoa o te whenua.
11 And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.'
A ka whakapumautia e ahau taku kawenata ki a koutou; e kore e hatepea atu nga kikokiko katoa a muri ake nei e nga wai o te waipuke; e kore ano e puta mai he waipuke a muri ake nei hei whakangaro mo te whenua.
12 And God said: 'This is the token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Ka mea te Atua, Ko te tohu tenei o te kawenata, e whakatakotoria nei e ahau ki waenganui oku, o koutou tae atu ki nga mea ora katoa i a koutou, mo nga whakatupuranga mutungakore:
13 I have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.
Ka whakatakotoria e ahau taku kopere ki te kapua, a ka waiho hei tohu mo te kawenata i waenganui oku, o te whenua.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the cloud,
Tenei ake ano, i te wa e whakaputa ai ahau i te kapua ki runga ki te whenua, ka kitea te kopere i te kapua:
15 that I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
A ka mahara ahau ki taku kawenata i waenganui oku, o koutou me nga mea ora katoa, ara nga kikokiko katoa; e kore nga wai e pupuke a muri ake nei hei whakangaro i nga kikokiko katoa.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.'
A ka piri te kopere ki te kapua; a ka titiro atu ahau ki taua mea, kia mahara ai ahau ki te kawenata mau tonu i waenganui o te Atua, o nga wairua ora katoa o nga kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.
17 And God said unto Noah: 'This is the token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.'
Na ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, Ko te tohu tenei o te kawenata e whakapumautia nei e ahau ki waenganui oku, o nga kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Na ko nga tama a Noa, i puta mai nei i roto i te aaka, ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta: a ko Hama te matua o Kanaana.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and of these was the whole earth overspread.
Ko nga tama tokotoru enei a Noa: a na enei i kapi ai te whenua katoa.
20 And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard.
Na ka timata a Noa te ngaki whenua, a whakatokia ana e ia he mara waina:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
A ka inumia e ia te waina, ka haurangi; na ka takoto tahanga i roto i tona teneti.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
A, i te kitenga o Hama, o te matua o Kanaana, i tona matua e takoto tahanga ana, ka korerotia e ia ki ona tuakana tokorua i waho.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
Na ka tango a Hema raua ko Iapeta i tetahi kakahu, maka iho e raua ki runga ki o raua pokohiwi, na ka haere whakatuara atu raua, a hipokina ana te wahi takoto kau o to raua papa; me te ahu ano o raua kanohi ki muri, a kihai raua i kite i te wahi takoto kau o to raua papa.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
Na ka maranga ake a Noa i tana waina, ka mohio ki ta tana potiki i mea ai ki a ia.
25 And he said: Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Na ka mea ia, Ka kanga a Kanaana, ka waiho ia hei tino pononga ma ona tuakana.
26 And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
I mea ano ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Hema; a ka waiho a Kanaana hei pononga mana.
27 God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
Ka meinga a Iapeta e te Atua kia tohatoha noa atu, kia noho hoki ia ki nga teneti o Hema; a hei pononga a Kanaana mana.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
A e toru rau e rima tekau nga tau i ora ai a Noa i muri i te waipuke.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
A ko nga ra katoa o Noa e iwa rau e rima tekau tau: a ka mate ia.
