Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Chineke gọziri Noa na ụmụ ya sị ha: “Mụọnụ, baanụ, jupụtanụ nʼụwa.
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.
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 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given 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, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
“Ma unu agaghị eri anụ ọbụla nke ọbara ndụ ya dị ya nʼahụ.
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.
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 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
“Onye ọbụla wufuru ọbara mmadụ, nʼaka mmadụ ka a ga-awụfu ọbara nke ya, nʼihi nʼoyiyi Chineke ka Chineke mere mmadụ.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Ma unu onwe unu, mịanụ mkpụrụ, mụbaanụ, jupụtanụ ụwa, baakwanụ ụba nʼime ya.”
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Chineke gwara Noa na ụmụ ya sị,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
“Ugbu a, ana m ehiwe ọgbụgba ndụ nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti agbụrụ unu ndị ga-anọchi unu,
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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between 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 it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Mgbe ọbụla m zitere igwe ojii nʼụwa, ọ bụrụ na eke na egwurugwu apụta ìhè na mbara eluigwe,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Chineke gwara Noa sị, “Nke a bụ ihe ama ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ m hiwere nʼetiti mụ na ihe niile nwere ndụ nʼụwa.”
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.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Noa ndị si nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta bụ Shem, Ham na Jafet. (Ham bụ nna Kenan.)
19 These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
Ndị a bụ ụmụ ndị ikom atọ Noa mụrụ. Ọ bụ site na ha ka ndị mmadụ niile gbasara nʼụwa niile si pụta.
20 And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
Noa, onye ọrụ ubi, bidoro ịkụ ubi vaịnị a gbara ogige.
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
Mgbe ọ ṅụrụ mmanya si nʼubi a, ṅụbiga ya oke, ọ gbaara ọtọ dinaa ala nʼime ụlọ ikwu ya.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Ham, nna Kenan, hụrụ ọtọ nna ya, gaa kọọrọ ụmụnne ya abụọ nọ nʼezi ihe ọ hụrụ.
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.
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 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
Mgbe Noa si nʼụra mmanya ya bilie, chọpụta ihe nwa ya nwoke nke nta mere,
25 And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
o kwuru sị, “Onye a bụrụ ọnụ ka Kenan bụ! Ohu ndị ohu, ka ọ ga-abụrụ ụmụnne ya.”
26 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Ọ sịkwara, “Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke Shem. Ka Kenan bụrụ ohu Shem.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Ka Chineke mee ka ebe obibi Jafet saa mbara, ka Jafet biri nʼụlọ ikwu Shem, meekwa ka Kenan bụrụ ohu ya.”
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Mgbe uju mmiri ahụ gabigachara, Noa biri ndụ narị afọ atọ na iri afọ ise ọzọ.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Ọnụọgụgụ afọ Noa niile mgbe ọ nwụrụ, bụ narị afọ itoolu na iri afọ ise.
