< Genesis 9 >

1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over the earth.
Eka Nyasaye nogwedho Nowa gi yawuote kowachonegi niya, “Nywolreuru kendo umedru mi upongʼ piny.
2 All the wild animals on the earth and all the birds, all the creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the fish, will be very afraid [DOU] of you. I have put them under your control.
Luoro kod kihondko nomak le duto manie piny kod winy ma huyo e kor polo, gik moko duto mamol e lowo kod rech duto modak e nam nikech ochiwgi duto e lwetu.
3 Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
Gimoro amora mangima kendo wuotho nobed chiembu. Mana kaka asemiyou alode, koro amiyou gik moko duto.”
4 [It is blood that causes creatures to be alive], therefore you must not eat meat that still has blood in it after the animal is killed. [After you have drained the blood out, you may cook it and eat it].
To kik ucham ringʼo ma pod nigi remo kuome.
5 I insist that murderers must be executed. Animals that kill people must also be executed. The reason that everyone who murders someone else must be executed is that
Kendo kuom remb ngimau to anachul kuor. Anachul kuor ne le duto kendo ne ngʼato ka ngʼato anachul kuor nikech ngima wadgi.
6 I made people to be like myself [in many ways]. So someone who murders another human being must be executed by others, [because he killed someone who is like me].
“Ngʼato angʼata mochwero remb dhano, en bende nyaka rembe chwer koa e lwet dhano; nikech e kit Nyasaye nochweyo dhano.
7 As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
To un, nyaguru kendo umedru; nywolreuru e piny kendo upongʼe.”
8 God also said to Noah and his sons,
Eka Nyasaye nowacho ne Nowa gi yawuote niya,
9 “Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
“Koro aketo singruokna kodu gi nyikwau,
10 and with all the living creatures that are with you—including the birds, the livestock, and the wild animals—every living creature on the earth that came out of the boat with you.
kod gik mangima mane ni kodu kaka winy, jamni kod le mag bungu; kod mago duto mane owuok ei yie ma gin gik moko duto mangima modak e piny.
11 This is the promise that I am making to you: I will never again destroy all living creatures by a flood, or destroy everything else on the earth by a flood.”
Atimo singruok kodi ni: Ok nachak atiek gik mangima kod pi bende ok nachak aketh piny kuom pi.”
12 Then God said to him, “This is the sign to guarantee that I will keep the promise that I am making to you and to all living creatures, a promise that I will keep forever:
Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ma e ranyisi mar singruok ma atimo e kinda kodi kod gik mangima duto maun-go nyaka tiengʼ mabiro.
13 [From time to time] I will put a rainbow in the sky. It will remind me of my promise that I have made to you and everything on the earth.
Aseketo lihudu mara e boche polo, kendo obiro bedo ranyisi mar singruok e kinda kod piny.
14 When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
E kinde moro amora ma amiyo piny odudo kendo lihudu ochungʼ e boche polo,
15 it will remind me about the promise that I have made to you and all living creatures, my promise that there will never again be a flood that will destroy all living creatures.
anapar singruok e kinda kodi kaachiel gi gik mangima duto, tiengʼ ka tiengʼ. Pi ok nochak oketh gik mangima duto.
16 Whenever there is a rainbow in the sky, I will see it, and I will think about the promise that I have made to every living creature that is upon the earth, a promise that I will keep forever.”
E kinde moro amora ma lihudu nochungʼ e boche polo, ananene kendo napar singruok mosiko e kind Nyasaye kod gik mangima duto manie piny kaka kitgi obet.”
17 Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow will be the sign of the promise that I have made to all the creatures that live on the earth.”
Kuom mano, Nyasaye nowacho ne Nowa niya, “Ma e ranyisi mar singruok ma asetimo e kinda kod gik mangima duto manie piny.”
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
Yawuot Nowa mane owuok e yie ne gin: Shem, Ham kod Jafeth. (Ham ne wuon Kanaan.)
19 All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
Yawuot Nowa adekgi ema oganda duto manie piny owuokie.
20 Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
Nowa, ne en japur kendo en ema nokwongo pidho mzabibu mi olosogo divai.
21 [When they later produced grapes, he made wine from the grapes]. One day, when he drank too much of the wine, he became drunk, and he lay naked in his tent.
Kane omadho divai moko mowuok e mzabibuno, nomer kendo nonindo duk ei hembe.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father lying naked in the tent. So he went outside and told his two older brothers what he had seen.
Ham wuon Kanaan noneno dug wuon kendo nodhi mowachone owetene ariyo mane ni oko.
23 Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked.
To Shem kod Jafeth nokawo nanga mi oketo e gokgi; eka negidonjo ei hema ka giwuotho gi ka ngʼegi mi giumo dug wuon-gi. Wengegi ne ngʼiyo komachielo mondo omi kik gine dug wuon-gi.
24 When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
Kane Nowa kongʼo orumo e wangʼe, mi ofwenyo gima wuode matin notimone,
25 He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
nowacho niya, “Okwongʼ Kanaan! Enobed misumba, e bwo wasumbini mag owetene.”
26 I will ask God to enlarge the territory that belongs to Japheth, and allow his descendants to live peacefully among the descendants of Shem [MTY].
Nomedo wacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Shem mondo opaki! Kanaan obed misumba Shem.
27 And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
Nyasaye mondo omed Jafeth; Jafeth mondo odag e hembe mag Shem, kendo Kanaan obed misumbane.”
28 Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
Bangʼ ataro mangʼongono, Nowa nodak higni mia adek gi piero abich.
29 He died when he was 950 years old.
Duto Nowa nodak kuom higni mia ochiko gi piero abich kendo bangʼe notho.
