Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Ipapo Mwari akaropafadza Noa navanakomana vake, akati kwavari, “Berekanai muwande uye muzadze nyika.
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.
Mhuka dzose dzenyika neshiri dzose dzedenga dzichakutyai uye dzichakuvhundukai; zvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika, nehove dzose dzegungwa, zvakapiwa mumaoko enyu.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be for food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
Zvinhu zvose zvinorarama nezvinokambaira zvichava zvokudya zvenyu. Sezvandakakupai muriwo munyoro, ndiri kukupai zvino zvinhu zvose.
4 Only flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
“Asi hamufaniri kudya nyama, ropa rayo roupenyu richiri mairi.
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.
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 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made He man.
“Ani naani anoteura ropa romunhu, ropa rake richateurwawo nomunhu; nokuti nomufananidzo waMwari, Mwari akaita munhu.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.'
Kana murimi, berekanai muwande; muwande panyika uye muwande kwazvo pamusoro payo.”
8 And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:
Ipapo Mwari akati kuna Noa navanakomana vaaiva navo,
9 'As for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
“Zvino ndava kusimbisa sungano yangu newe uye nezvizvarwa zvako zvinotevera,
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.
uye nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvakanga zvinewe, shiri, zvipfuwo nemhuka dzose dzesango, dzose dziya dzakabuda newe muareka, zvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zviri panyika.
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.'
Ndiri kusimbisa sungano yangu newe: Zvipenyu zvose hazvichatongoparadzwizve nemvura yamafashamu; hakuchatongovizve namafashamu okuti aparadze nyika.”
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:
Uye Mwari akati, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandiri kuita pakati pangu nemi nezvisikwa zvose zvipenyu zvinemi, sungano yamarudzi ose ari kuzouya:
13 I have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.
Ndaisa muraravungu wangu mumakore, uye uchava chiratidzo chesungano pakati pangu nenyika.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the cloud,
Pose pandinouyisa makore pamusoro penyika, uye muraravungu ukaonekwa mumakore,
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.
ndicharangarira sungano yangu pakati pangu nemi nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvamarudzi ose. Mvura haingatongoitizve mafashamu kuti iparadze zvipenyu zvose.
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.'
Pose panoonekwa muraravungu mumakore, ndichaona ndigorangarira sungano yangu isingaperi pakati paMwari nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvemhando dzose panyika.”
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.'
Saka Mwari akati kuna Noa, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandakasimbisa pakati pangu nezvipenyu zvose zviri panyika.”
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.
Vanakomana vaNoa vakabuda muareka vaiva Shemu, Hamu naJafeti. (Hamu akanga ari baba vaKenani.)
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and of these was the whole earth overspread.
Ava ndivo vakanga vari vanakomana vatatu vaNoa, uye kwavari ndiko kwakabva vanhu vakapararira pamusoro penyika.
20 And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard.
Noa akava murimi, akarima munda wamazambiringa.
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
Akati anwa imwe yewaini yawo, akadhakwa uye akavata akashama mutende rake.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Hamu, baba vaKenani, akaona kusasimira kwababa vake akaudza mukoma wake nomununʼuna vake vaiva panze.
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.
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 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
Noa akati amuka kubva pawaini yake uye akaziva zvakanga zvaitwa kwaari nomwanakomana wake muduku,
25 And he said: Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
akati, “Kenani ngaatukwe! Achava muranda wavaranda kuvakuru vake.”
26 And he said: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
Akatiwo, “Ngaakudzwe Jehovha, Mwari waShemu! Kenani ngaave muranda waShemu.
27 God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
Mwari ngaakurise nyika yaJafeti; Jafeti ngaagare mumatende aShemu, uye Kenani ngaave muranda wake.”
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Shure kwamafashamu, Noa akararama kwamakore mazana matatu namakumi mashanu.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
Pamwe chete, Noa akararama kwamakore mazana mapfumbamwe namakumi mashanu, uye akafa.
