< Genesis 9 >
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.
त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले नोआ र तिनका छोराहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “फल्दै-फुल्दै, वृद्धि हुँदै र पृथ्वीमा भरिँदै जाओ ।
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.
जमिनमा चलहल गर्ने हरेक जीवित प्राणी, आकाशका हरेक पक्षी, जमिनमा घस्रने हरेक जन्तु र समुद्रका सबै माछामाथि तिमीहरूको डर र त्रास रहनेछ । ती तिमीहरूका हातमा सुम्पिएका छन् ।
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be for food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
हरेक चलहल गर्ने प्राणी तिमीहरूका निम्ति भोजन हुनेछन् । मैले तिमीहरूलाई हरिया वनस्पतिहरू दिएजस्तै अब म तिमीहरूलाई सबै थोक दिन्छु ।
4 Only flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
तर तिमीहरूले मासु त्यसको प्राण दिने रगतसमेत नखाओ ।
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.
तर तिमीहरूको प्राण दिने रगतको साटो म लेखा लिनेछु । हरेक पशुबाट म प्राणको साटो लिनेछु । आफ्नो भाइको हत्या गर्ने हरेक मानिसको हातबाट म त्यस मानिसको प्राणको साटो लिनेछु ।
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made He man.
जसले मानिसको रगत बगाउँछ मानिसद्वारा नै त्यसको रगत बगाइनेछ, किनकि परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई आफ्नै स्वरूपमा बनाउनुभयो ।
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.'
तिमीहरूचाहिँ पृथ्वीमा फल्दै-फुल्दै, वृद्धि हुँदै, फैलँदै जाओ ।”
8 And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:
त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले नोआ र तिनका छोराहरूलाई यसो भन्नुभयो,
9 'As for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
“मेरो कुरा सुन! तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूपछि आउने तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरू, तिमीहरूसँगै भएका हरेक जीवित प्राणी अर्थात्
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.
पक्षीहरू, पालिने पशुहरू र जहाजबाट बाहिर आउनेदेखि पृथ्वीमा भएका हरेक जीवित प्राणीसित म मेरो करार स्थापित गर्दै छु ।
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.'
जलप्रलयको पानीद्वारा फेरि सबै प्राणी नष्ट गरिनेछैनन् भनी म मेरो करार तिमीहरूसित स्थापित गर्दछु । पृथ्वीलाई सर्वनाश गर्ने जलप्रलय फेरि कहिल्यै आउनेछैन ।
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:
परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पुस्तौँको निम्ति मेरो र तिमीहरूसाथै हरेक जीवित प्राणीसित मैले जुन करार बाँध्दै छु, त्यसको चिन्ह यही हुन्छ
13 I have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.
कि मैले बादलमा इन्द्रेणी राखेको छु, र यो मेरो र पृथ्वीको बिचमा करारको चिन्ह हुनेछ ।
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the cloud,
मैले पृथ्वीमाथि बादल फिँजाउँदा जब इन्द्रेणी देखा पर्छ
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.
तब म मेरो करारलाई सम्झनेछु जुन करार मेरो र तिमीहरूसाथै हरेक जीवित प्राणीको बिचमा बाँधिएको छ । जलप्रलयले फेरि कहिल्यै सबै प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछैन ।
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.'
परमेश्वर र पृथ्वीमा रहेका सबै जीवित प्राणीबिच बाँधिएको नित्य रहिरहने कराको सम्झना गर्नलाई म बादलमा देखा पर्ने इन्द्रेणीलाई हेर्नेछु ।”
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.'
तब परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो र पृथ्वीमा भएका सबै जीवित प्राणीको बिचमा मैले स्थापित गरेको करारको चिन्ह यही हो ।”
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.
जहाजबाट बाहिर निस्केर आएका नोआका छोराहरू शेम, हाम र येपेत थिए । हाम कनानका पिता थिए ।
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and of these was the whole earth overspread.
यी तिन जना नोआका छोराहरू थिए, र यिनीहरूबाट नै समस्त पृथ्वी भरियो ।
20 And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard.
नोआ किसान हुन लागे, र तिनले दाखबारी लगाए ।
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
दाखमद्य पिएर तिनी मात्तिए । तिनी आफ्नो पालमा नाङ्गै पल्टिरहेका थिए ।
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
तब कनानका पिता हामले आफ्ना पिताको नाङ्गोपन देखे र बाहिर आएर दुवै दाजुलाई बताइदिए ।
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.
त्यसैले, शेम र येपेतले एउटा लबेदा लिएर त्यसलाई काँधमा हाले अनि पछिल्तिर सर्दै गएर तिनीहरूका पिताको नाङ्गोपन ढाकिदिए । तिनीहरूको अनुहार अर्कोपट्टि फर्केकाले तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पिताको नाङ्गोपन देखेनन् ।
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
नोआ आफ्नो मद्यको लतबाट उठेपछि तिनका कान्छा छोराले तिनलाई के गरेका थिए भनी तिनलाई थाहा भयो ।
25 And he said: Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
त्यसैले तिनले भने, “श्रापित होस् कनान । त्यो आफ्ना दाजुहरूका कमाराहरूका पनि कमारा होस् ।”
26 And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
तिनले यसो पनि भने, “शेमका परमेश्वर यहोवे धन्यका होऊन्, र कनान त्यसको कमारो होस् ।
27 God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
परमेश्वरले येपेतको क्षेत्र वृद्धि गर्नुभएको होस् र त्यसले शेमका पालहरूमा बास गरून् । कनान त्यसका कमारा होस् ।”
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
जलप्रलयपछि नोआ तिन सय पचास वर्ष बाँचे ।
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
नोआको जम्मा उमेर नौ सय पचास वर्ष भयो, अनि तिनी मरे
