Genesis 9
1 And God blesses Noah and his sons, and says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
Ipapo Mwari akaropafadza Noa navanakomana vake, akati kwavari, “Berekanai muwande uye muzadze nyika.
2 and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea—into your hand they have been given.
Mhuka dzose dzenyika neshiri dzose dzedenga dzichakutyai uye dzichakuvhundukai; zvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika, nehove dzose dzegungwa, zvakapiwa mumaoko enyu.
3 Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
Zvinhu zvose zvinorarama nezvinokambaira zvichava zvokudya zvenyu. Sezvandakakupai muriwo munyoro, ndiri kukupai zvino zvinhu zvose.
4 only flesh in its life—its blood—you do not eat.
“Asi hamufaniri kudya nyama, ropa rayo roupenyu richiri mairi.
5 And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man’s brother 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 whoever sheds man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He made man.
“Ani naani anoteura ropa romunhu, ropa rake richateurwawo nomunhu; nokuti nomufananidzo waMwari, Mwari akaita munhu.
7 And you, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.”
Kana murimi, berekanai muwande; muwande panyika uye muwande kwazvo pamusoro payo.”
8 And God speaks to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Ipapo Mwari akati kuna Noa navanakomana vaaiva navo,
9 “And I, behold, I am establishing 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 which [is] with you, among bird, among livestock, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the Ark—to 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 have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not cut off anymore by waters of a flood, and there is not a flood to destroy the earth anymore.”
Ndiri kusimbisa sungano yangu newe: Zvipenyu zvose hazvichatongoparadzwizve nemvura yamafashamu; hakuchatongovizve namafashamu okuti aparadze nyika.”
12 And God says, “This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to continuous generations;
Uye Mwari akati, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandiri kuita pakati pangu nemi nezvisikwa zvose zvipenyu zvinemi, sungano yamarudzi ose ari kuzouya:
13 My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been 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 has come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow has been seen in the cloud,
Pose pandinouyisa makore pamusoro penyika, uye muraravungu ukaonekwa mumakore,
15 and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters no longer 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 has been in the cloud, and I have seen it—to remember the perpetual covenant between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth.”
Pose panoonekwa muraravungu mumakore, ndichaona ndigorangarira sungano yangu isingaperi pakati paMwari nezvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvemhando dzose panyika.”
17 And God says to Noah, “This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] on the earth.”
Saka Mwari akati kuna Noa, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandakasimbisa pakati pangu nezvipenyu zvose zviri panyika.”
18 And the sons of Noah who are going out of the Ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.
Vanakomana vaNoa vakabuda muareka vaiva Shemu, Hamu naJafeti. (Hamu akanga ari baba vaKenani.)
19 These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.
Ava ndivo vakanga vari vanakomana vatatu vaNoa, uye kwavari ndiko kwakabva vanhu vakapararira pamusoro penyika.
20 And Noah remains a man of the ground, and plants a vineyard,
Noa akava murimi, akarima munda wamazambiringa.
21 and drinks of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovers himself in the midst of the tent.
Akati anwa imwe yewaini yawo, akadhakwa uye akavata akashama mutende rake.
22 And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to his two brothers outside.
Hamu, baba vaKenani, akaona kusasimira kwababa vake akaudza mukoma wake nomununʼuna vake vaiva panze.
23 And Shem takes—Japheth also—the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father’s nakedness they have not seen.
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 awakens from his wine, and knows that which his young son has done to him,
Noa akati amuka kubva pawaini yake uye akaziva zvakanga zvaitwa kwaari nomwanakomana wake muduku,
25 and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”
akati, “Kenani ngaatukwe! Achava muranda wavaranda kuvakuru vake.”
26 And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
Akatiwo, “Ngaakudzwe Jehovha, Mwari waShemu! Kenani ngaave muranda waShemu.
27 God gives beauty to Japheth, And he dwells in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.”
Mwari ngaakurise nyika yaJafeti; Jafeti ngaagare mumatende aShemu, uye Kenani ngaave muranda wake.”
28 And Noah lives after the flood three hundred and fifty years;
Shure kwamafashamu, Noa akararama kwamakore mazana matatu namakumi mashanu.
29 and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dies.
Pamwe chete, Noa akararama kwamakore mazana mapfumbamwe namakumi mashanu, uye akafa.
