Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Mawu yra Noa kple viawo, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Midzi ne miasɔ gbɔ ayɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.”
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, upon all that moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Vɔvɔ̃ aɖo anyigbadzilãwo katã kple dziƒoxevi ɖe sia ɖe kple lã ɖe sia ɖe si tana kple ƒumelãwo katã ɖe mia ŋu, eye metsɔ wo de asi na mi.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Nu sia nu si le agbe, eye woʋãna la anye nuɖuɖu na mi. Abe ale si metsɔ amagbewo na mi kpɔ ene la, nenema ke mele nu sia nu tsɔm le asi dem na mi fifia.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
“Ke mele be miaɖu lã si me ʋu metsyɔ le la o.
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; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.
Mabia akɔnta mi tso ʋu si le mia me la ŋu. Mabia akɔnta tso lã sia lã ŋu, eye mabia akɔnta ame sia ame hã tso nɔvia ƒe agbe ŋu.
6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
“Ame sia ame si akɔ ame ƒe ʋu ɖi la, ame akɔ eya hã ƒe ʋu ɖi, elabena Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme me Mawu wɔe ɖo.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Ɛ̃, midzi ne miasɔ gbɔ fũu, mikpe xexe blibo la me ɖo, eye miaɖu edzi.”
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Mawu gblɔ na Noa kple via ŋutsuwo be,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
“Azɔ la, mebla nu kple wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo
10 And with every living creature that [is] with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
kpakple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si nɔ gbɔwò, xeviawo, aƒemelãawo, lã wɔadãawo katã, nu sia nu si do go tso aɖakaʋu la me kple wò, nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si le anyigba dzi.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Mebla nu kpli wò. Tsiɖɔɖɔ magatsi agbe nu na nu gbagbewo azɔ o. Tsi magaɖɔ, agatsrɔ̃ anyigba akpɔ o.
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:
Metsɔ dzesi sia tre nubabla sia nu:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Metsɔ nye anyieʋɔ de lilikpowo me abe nye nubabla ƒe dzesi na wò kple anyigbadzitɔwo katã ene va se ɖe xexea me ƒe nuwuwu.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Ne mena lilikpowo tsyɔ anyigba dzi la, woakpɔ anyieʋɔ le lilikpoawo me,
15 And 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.
ekema maɖo ŋku nye nubabla kpli wò kple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe dzi be tsiɖɔɖɔ magava atsrɔ̃ nu gbagbewo azɔ o.
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.
Ɣe sia ɣi si anyieʋɔ ado ɖe lilikpo me la, makpɔe, eye maɖo ŋku nubabla mavɔ si le Mawu kple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si le anyigba dzi dome la dzi.”
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.
Eye Mawu gblɔ na Noa be, “Esiae nye nubabla si mewɔ kple nu gbagbe siwo katã le xexea me la ƒe dzesi.”
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.
Noa ƒe vi etɔ̃awo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye Sem, Ham kple Yafet. (Ham nye Kanaantɔwo fofo.)
19 These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
Amegbetɔƒome blibo la do tso Noa ƒe viŋutsu etɔ̃ siawo me.
20 And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
Noa, ame si nye agbledela la de waingble.
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
Esi wòno wain la ƒe ɖe la, emu aha, eye wòɖe amama mlɔ anyi ɖe eƒe agbadɔ me.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Ham, ame si nye Kanaantɔwo fofo la kpɔ fofoa ƒe amame, eye wòyi ɖagblɔe na nɔvia eveawo.
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.
Ale Sem kple Yafet lé avɔ aɖe ɖe abɔta, trɔ kɔ ɖe adzɔge, zɔ megbemegbe yi avɔgbadɔ la me, eye wotsɔ avɔ la tsyɔ na wo fofo.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
Esime Noa ƒe ŋkume kɔ, eye wòse nu si Via ŋutsu suetɔ wɔ ɖe eŋu la,
25 And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
egblɔ be, “Woaƒo fi ade Kanaan; ànye kluvi gblɔetɔ na nɔviwòwo.”
26 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Eyi edzi be, “Woayra Yehowa, Sem ƒe Mawu. Kanaan nazu kluvi na Sem.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Mawu nekeke Yafet ƒe anyigba ɖe edzi. Yafet nanɔ Sem ƒe agbadɔwo me, eye Kanaan nanye eƒe kluvi.”
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Noa ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa etɔ̃ blaatɔ̃ le tsiɖɔɖɔ megbe.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Exɔ ƒe alafa asiekɛ blaatɔ̃ hafi ku.
