Genesis 9
1 So 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 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.
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 As for every moving thing that hath life, yours, shall it be, for food, —Like the green herb, have I given you all things.
Buli kintu ekiramu, ekitambula onookiryanga. Nga bwe nakuwa ebimera, kaakano nkuwa buli kintu.
4 Yet flesh with the life thereof, the blood thereof, shall ye not eat;
“Naye toolyenga nnyama ng’ekyalimu omusaayi gwayo.
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:
Era ndivunaana ayiwa omusaayi gwammwe ne nvunaana n’omuntu olw’omusaayi gw’ensolo ne muvunaana n’olw’omusaayi gwa muntu munne.
6 He that sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, —For, in the image of God, made he man.
“Buli anaayiwanga omusaayi gw’omuntu, n’ogugwe gunaayiibwanga, kubanga mu kifaananyi kya Katonda, Katonda mwe yakolera omuntu.
7 Ye, therefore, be fruitful and multiply, swarm in the earth and multiply therein.
Naye ggwe onoozaalanga ne weeyongera obungi. Oneeyongeranga ku nsi.”
8 And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying:
Awo Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa ne batabani bwe baali
9 I, therefore, behold me! establishing my covenant with you, —and with your seed after you;
nti, “Laba nkola endagaano yange nammwe ne bonna abaliva mu mmwe oluvannyuma lwammwe,
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;
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 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.
Nkola endagaano yange eno nammwe: tewaabengawo mataba gazikiriza bulamu bwonna, tewakyaddayo kubaawo mataba gasaanyaawo nsi.”
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: —
Katonda n’agamba nti, “Kano ke kabonero ke nteeka wakati wange nammwe, na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri nammwe, era n’ab’emirembe egiriddawo.
13 My bow, have I set in the cloud, —and it shall be for a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and the earth;
Nteeka musoke wange mu kire, nga ke kabonero ak’endagaano wakati wange n’ensi.
14 and it shall be when I draw a veil of cloud over the earth, —and the bow in the cloud appeareth,
“Kale olunaatuukanga, bwe nnaaleetaanga ekire ku nsi, musoke anaalabikiranga ku bire,
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:
ne nzijukira endagaano yange nammwe na buli kiramu; era amazzi tegakyaddayo kuzikiriza biramu.
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.
Musoke bw’anaabanga ku bire, nnaamutunuuliranga ne nzijukira endagaano eteriggwaawo eriwo wakati wa Katonda na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri ku nsi.”
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.
Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa nti, “Kano ke kabonero ak’endagaano gye ntaddewo wakati wange ne buli kiramu ekiri ku nsi.”
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.
Batabani ba Nuuwa abaava mu lyato ye Seemu, ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi. Kaamu ye yali kitaawe wa Kanani.
19 These three, were the sons of Noah, —and from these, was all the earth overspread.
Bonna abasatu be baali batabani ba Nuuwa; era okuva mu bano ensi yonna yajjula abantu.
20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, —so he planted a vineyard:
Nuuwa n’atandika okulima n’asimba emizabbibu;
21 and dank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself in the midst of his tent.
n’anywa omwenge n’atamiira, ne yeebaka mu weema ng’ali bwereere.
22 And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father’s shame, —and told his two brethren outside.
Kaamu kitaawe wa Kanani n’alaba obwereere bwa kitaawe, n’abuulirako baganda be ababiri abaali ebweru.
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.
Awo ne bateeka olugoye ku bibegabega byabwe ne batambula ekyennyumannyuma, ne babikka ku bwereere bwa kitaabwe.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, —and came to know what his youngest son had done to him.
Omwenge bwe gwamwamukako, Nuuwa n’azuukuka n’ategeera mutabani we omuto ky’amukoze.
25 And he said, Accursed be Canaan, —a servant of servants, shall he be to his brethren!
N’akolimira ezzadde lya Kaamu n’agamba nti, “Kanani akolimirwe, abeere muddu wa baddu eri baganda be.”
26 And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Shem, —And let Canaan be their servant:
Era n’agamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wange, awe Seemu omukisa, Kanani abeere muddu we.”
27 God give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be their servant.
Katonda yaza Yafeesi, abeere mu weema za Seemu, Kanani abeere muddu we.
28 And Noah lived after the flood, —three hundred and fifty years:
Oluvannyuma lw’amataba Nuuwa yawangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bisatu mu ataano.
29 so, all the days of Noah, were—nine hundred and fifty years, —and he died.
Emyaka gyonna Nuuwa, gye yamala ku nsi ne giba lwenda mu amakumi ataano, n’afa.
