Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Nzambe apambolaki Noa mpe bana na ye ya mibali. Alobaki na bango: « Bobota bana, bokoma ebele mpe botondisa mokili.
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 heaven; whatever is that moveth upon the earth, and all the fishes of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
Banyama nyonso ya mokili, bandeke nyonso ya likolo mpe bikelamu oyo etambolaka na mokili elongo na mbisi ya ebale, ekobanga bino makasi; nyonso epesami na maboko na bino.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be yours for food; even as the green herbs have I given you all things.
Bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi mpe oyo etambolaka, ekozala bilei na bino. Ndenge kaka napesaki bino matiti, sik’oyo napesi bino biloko nyonso.
4 But flesh in which its life is, which is its blood, shall ye not eat.
Kasi bokolia te mosuni oyo ezali na makila, pamba te makila ezali bomoi.
5 Your blood, however, on which your lives depend, 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.
Bongo lokola makila na bino ezali bomoi na bino, nakosambisa oyo nyonso akotangisa yango, ezala nyama to moto. Nakosambisa moto nyonso mpo na bomoi ya moninga na ye.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man.
Yango wana, soki moto asopi makila ya moto, bakosopa mpe makila na ye epai ya moto, pamba te Nzambe asalaki moto na elilingi na Ye.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly on the earth, and multiply thereon.
Kasi bino, bobota bana, bokoma ebele mpe botondisa mokili. »
8 And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Boye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa mpe na bana na ye ya mibali:
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
« Nasali sik’oyo boyokani elongo na yo mpe na bakitani na yo sima na yo,
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 those that go out of the ark, for every beast of the earth.
na bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali elongo na yo: bandeke, bibwele mpe banyama ya zamba, banyama nyonso oyo ebimaki na masuwa elongo na yo, bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na mokili.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh shall not be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there be any more a flood to destroy the earth.
Nasali boyokani elongo na yo: bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi ekobebisama te na mayi ya mpela. Mpe mpela ekozala lisusu te mpo na kobebisa mokili. »
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.
Nzambe alobaki lisusu: « Tala elembo ya boyokani oyo natie kati na Ngai mpe bino, mpe bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na bino elongo. Ezali boyokani mpo na milongo nyonso oyo ekoya:
13 My bow I do set in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of the covenant between me and the earth.
natie monama na Ngai na mapata, mpe yango ekozala elembo ya boyokani kati na Ngai mpe mokili.
14 And it shall come to pass, that, when I bring a cloud over the earth, and the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
Tango nyonso nakosangisa mapata na likolo ya mokili mpe monama ekobima na mapata,
15 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.
nakokanisa boyokani na Ngai elongo na bino mpe na bikelamu ya lolenge nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi. Mpe mayi ekokoma lisusu mpela te mpo na kobebisa nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi.
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.
Tango nyonso monama ekobima na mapata, nakomona yango mpe nakokanisa boyokani ya seko kati na Nzambe mpe bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na mokili. »
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.
Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Noa: « Yango nde ezali elembo ya boyokani oyo natie kati na Ngai mpe bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali kati na mokili. »
18 And the sons of Noah that went forth from the ark, were Shem, Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.
Tala bana mibali ya Noa oyo babimaki na masuwa: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti. Cham azalaki tata ya Kanana.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and of them was the whole earth overspread.
Bango misato bazalaki bana ya Noa mpe na nzela na bango nde mokili etondaki lisusu na bato.
20 And Noah, who was a husbandman, began his work, and he planted a vineyard.
Noa azalaki mosali bilanga mpe alonaki elanga ya vino.
21 And he drank of the wine, and became drunken; and he uncovered himself within his tent.
Tango amelaki masanga ya vino oyo ewutaki na elanga na ye, alangwaki mpe atikalaki bolumbu kati na ndako na ye ya kapo.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told it his two brothers without.
Cham, tata ya Kanana, amonaki bolumbu ya tata na ye mpe ayebisaki bandeko na ye ya mibali oyo bazalaki na libanda.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon the shoulders of both of them, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
Kasi Semi mpe Jafeti bazwaki elamba mpe batiaki yango na mapeka na bango. Bazongaki sima-sima mpe bazipaki bolumbu ya tata na bango. Lokola bilongi na bango etalaki na ngambo mosusu, bamonaki bolumbu ya tata na bango te.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and discovered what his younger son had done unto him.
Tango milangwa ya Noa esilaki, ayokaki likambo oyo mwana na ye ya suka asalaki.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Alobaki: « Tika ete Kanana alakelama mabe, azala mowumbu ya suka ya bandeko na ye! »
26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem; and Canaan shall be a servant unto them.
Alobaki lisusu: « Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Semi, apambolama! Tika ete Kanana azala mowumbu ya Semi!
27 May God enlarge the boundaries of Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be a servant unto them.
Tika ete Nzambe ayeisa monene mabele ya Jafeti! Tika ete Jafeti avanda na bandako ya kapo ya Semi, mpe Kanana azala mowumbu na ye! »
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Sima na mpela, Noa awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama misato na tuku mitano.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
Mibu nyonso ya bomoi ya Noa ezalaki nkama libwa na tuku mitano, sima akufaki.
