Genesis 9
1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, —and said to them Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth;
Konsa, Bondye te beni Noé avèk fis li yo. Li te di yo: “Se pou nou vin fekon, miltipliye, e ranpli latè.
2 and let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every living creature of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, —over everything that moveth along on the ground, and over all the fishes of the sea, —into your hand, have they been given.
Lakrent nou, ak laperèz nou va vini sou chak bèt latè, ak chak zwazo syèl la. Tout bagay ki kouri atè, ak tout pwason lanmè, tout livre nan men nou.
3 As for every moving thing that hath life, yours, shall it be, for food, —Like the green herb, have I given you all things.
Chak bagay ki fè mouvman e ki vivan va sèvi kòm manje pou nou. Mwen bannou tout, jan Mwen te bay plant vèt la.
4 Yet flesh with the life thereof, the blood thereof, shall ye not eat;
“Sèlman, nou pa pou manje chè avèk lavi li, sa vle di san li.
5 And surely your blood, of your lives, will I require, From the hand of every living creature, will I require it, —and from the hand of man From the hand of each one’s brother, will I require the life of man:
Anverite, Mwen va egzije san lavi a paske se pa m. Menm soti nan chak bèt Mwen va egzije li. Epi sou chak òm, sou frè a chak òm, Mwen va egzije lavi a yon moun.
6 He that sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, —For, in the image of God, made he man.
“Nenpòt moun ki vèse san lòm, pa lòm san pa l va vèse, paske nan imaj a Bondye, Li te fè lòm.
7 Ye, therefore, be fruitful and multiply, swarm in the earth and multiply therein.
Epi pou nou, se pou nou vin fekon, e miltipliye. Peple tè a anpil, e miltipliye ladann.”
8 And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying:
Alò, Bondye te pale avèk Noé ak fis li yo avè l. Li te di:
9 I, therefore, behold me! establishing my covenant with you, —and with your seed after you;
“Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen vin etabli akò Mwen avèk nou, e avèk desandan aprè nou yo,
10 and with every living soul that is with you, of birds, of tame-beasts and of all wild-beasts of the earth that are with you, —of all coming forth out of the ark, even to all wild-beasts of the earth;
epi avèk chak kreyati vivan ki avè w: zwazo, bèt kay yo, ak chak bèt ki sou latè avèk nou, tout sa ki sòti nan lach la, menm chak bèt sou tè a.
11 yea, I will establish my covenant with you, so that all flesh shall not be cut off any more, by reason of the waters of a flood, —neither shall there be any more a flood to destroy the earth.
“Mwen etabli akò Mwen avèk nou: Tout chè p ap janm koupe ankò pa dlo delij, ni p ap gen delij ankò pou detwi tè a.”
12 And God said, This, is the sign of the covenant which I am granting betwixt me and you, and every living soul that is with you, —to age-abiding generations: —
Bondye te di: “Sa se sign akò ke m ap fè antre Mwen avèk nou, e avèk chak kreyati vivan ki la avèk nou, jis rive pou tout jenerasyon k ap vini yo.
13 My bow, have I set in the cloud, —and it shall be for a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and the earth;
Mwen mete lakansyèl Mwen nan nwaj la, epi l ap sèvi kòm yon sign pou akò antre Mwen menm avèk latè a.
14 and it shall be when I draw a veil of cloud over the earth, —and the bow in the cloud appeareth,
Li va rive ke lè m mennen yon nwaj sou latè, ke lakansyèl la ap vizib nan nwaj la,
15 then will I remember my covenant which is betwixt me and you, and every living soul among all flesh, —that the waters may no more become a flood, to destroy all flesh:
epi Mwen va sonje akò ki antre Mwen menm avèk nou an, avèk chak kreyati vivan de tout chè. Epi janmen ankò dlo p ap vin yon delij pou detwi tout chè.
16 so the bow shall be in the cloud, —and I will behold it, to remember an age-abiding covenant, between God, and every living soul among all flesh that is on the earth.
“Lè lakansyèl la nan nwaj la, Mwen va gade sou li, pou m sonje akò ki jis pou tout tan antre Bondye ak tout kreyati vivan pou tout chè ki sou latè yo.”
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which have established, between me and all flesh that is on the earth.
Epi Bondye te di a Noé: “Sa se sign akò ke Mwen te etabli antre Mwen ak tout chè ki rete sou tè a.”
18 And the sons of Noah who came forth out of the ark, were—Shem and Ham and Japheth, —now, Ham, was the father of Canaan.
Alò, fis Noé yo ki te soti nan lach la se te Sem, Cham, ak Japhet. Epi Cham te papa Canaan.
19 These three, were the sons of Noah, —and from these, was all the earth overspread.
Twa sila yo se te fis Noé yo, e nan twa sila yo tout tè a te vin peple.
20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, —so he planted a vineyard:
Alò, Noé te kòmanse kiltive tè a. Li te plante yon chan rezen.
21 and dank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself in the midst of his tent.
Li te bwè diven, e li te vin sou. Konsa li te dekouvri kò li anndan tant li an.
22 And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father’s shame, —and told his two brethren outside.
Cham, papa Canaan nan, te wè papa li toutouni, e li te pale sa a frè l yo deyò a.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on the shoulder of them both and went backwards, and covered the shame of their father, but their faces were backwards, and the shame of their father, saw they not.
Men Sem avèk Japhet te pran yon abiman, yo te mete li sou chak zepòl li, e yo te mache an aryè pou kouvri nidite papa yo. Figi yo te vire akote pou yo pa wè nidite li.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, —and came to know what his youngest son had done to him.
Lè Noé te leve nan dòmi aprè diven an, li te konnen sa ke pi jenn fis li a te fè l la.
25 And he said, Accursed be Canaan, —a servant of servants, shall he be to his brethren!
Konsa li te di: “Canaan se modi. Se sèvitè l ap ye anvè frè li yo.”
26 And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Shem, —And let Canaan be their servant:
Li te di osi: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye a Cham nan. Canaan va sèvitè li.
27 God give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be their servant.
Ke Bondye agrandi Japhet. Kite li viv nan tant Sem yo. Kite Canaan vin sèvitè li.”
28 And Noah lived after the flood, —three hundred and fifty years:
Noé te viv twa-san-senkant ane aprè delij la.
29 so, all the days of Noah, were—nine hundred and fifty years, —and he died.
Alò, tout jou a Noé yo te nèf-san-senkant ane, e li te mouri.
