< Genesis 9 >

1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
Awo Katonda n’awa Nuuwa ne batabani be omukisa n’agamba nti, “Muzaale mwale mweyongerenga nnyo mujjuze ensi.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are given.
Ensolo zonna ez’omu nsiko, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga, na buli ekitambula ku nsi, buli ekiri mu nnyanja, byonna binaakutyanga, mbikuwadde mu mikono gyo.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
Buli kintu ekiramu, ekitambula onookiryanga. Nga bwe nakuwa ebimera, kaakano nkuwa buli kintu.
4 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
“Naye toolyenga nnyama ng’ekyalimu omusaayi gwayo.
5 And surely I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
Era ndivunaana ayiwa omusaayi gwammwe ne nvunaana n’omuntu olw’omusaayi gw’ensolo ne muvunaana n’olw’omusaayi gwa muntu munne.
6 Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
“Buli anaayiwanga omusaayi gw’omuntu, n’ogugwe gunaayiibwanga, kubanga mu kifaananyi kya Katonda, Katonda mwe yakolera omuntu.
7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."
Naye ggwe onoozaalanga ne weeyongera obungi. Oneeyongeranga ku nsi.”
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
Awo Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa ne batabani bwe baali
9 "And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
nti, “Laba nkola endagaano yange nammwe ne bonna abaliva mu mmwe oluvannyuma lwammwe,
10 and with every living creature that is with you: the flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
era na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri naawe: ebinyonyi, n’ensolo ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko zonna, ne byonna bye muvudde nabyo mu lyato, ne buli kitonde kyonna ku nsi.
11 I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."
Nkola endagaano yange eno nammwe: tewaabengawo mataba gazikiriza bulamu bwonna, tewakyaddayo kubaawo mataba gasaanyaawo nsi.”
12 God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Katonda n’agamba nti, “Kano ke kabonero ke nteeka wakati wange nammwe, na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri nammwe, era n’ab’emirembe egiriddawo.
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Nteeka musoke wange mu kire, nga ke kabonero ak’endagaano wakati wange n’ensi.
14 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
“Kale olunaatuukanga, bwe nnaaleetaanga ekire ku nsi, musoke anaalabikiranga ku bire,
15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
ne nzijukira endagaano yange nammwe na buli kiramu; era amazzi tegakyaddayo kuzikiriza biramu.
16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."
Musoke bw’anaabanga ku bire, nnaamutunuuliranga ne nzijukira endagaano eteriggwaawo eriwo wakati wa Katonda na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri ku nsi.”
17 God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa nti, “Kano ke kabonero ak’endagaano gye ntaddewo wakati wange ne buli kiramu ekiri ku nsi.”
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
Batabani ba Nuuwa abaava mu lyato ye Seemu, ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi. Kaamu ye yali kitaawe wa Kanani.
19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
Bonna abasatu be baali batabani ba Nuuwa; era okuva mu bano ensi yonna yajjula abantu.
20 Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard.
Nuuwa n’atandika okulima n’asimba emizabbibu;
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
n’anywa omwenge n’atamiira, ne yeebaka mu weema ng’ali bwereere.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.
Kaamu kitaawe wa Kanani n’alaba obwereere bwa kitaawe, n’abuulirako baganda be ababiri abaali ebweru.
23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
Awo ne bateeka olugoye ku bibegabega byabwe ne batambula ekyennyumannyuma, ne babikka ku bwereere bwa kitaabwe.
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
Omwenge bwe gwamwamukako, Nuuwa n’azuukuka n’ategeera mutabani we omuto ky’amukoze.
25 He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
N’akolimira ezzadde lya Kaamu n’agamba nti, “Kanani akolimirwe, abeere muddu wa baddu eri baganda be.”
26 He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
Era n’agamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wange, awe Seemu omukisa, Kanani abeere muddu we.”
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."
Katonda yaza Yafeesi, abeere mu weema za Seemu, Kanani abeere muddu we.
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
Oluvannyuma lw’amataba Nuuwa yawangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bisatu mu ataano.
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, then he died.
Emyaka gyonna Nuuwa, gye yamala ku nsi ne giba lwenda mu amakumi ataano, n’afa.
