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.
त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले नोआ र तिनका छोराहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “फल्दै-फुल्दै, वृद्धि हुँदै र पृथ्वीमा भरिँदै जाओ ।
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.
जमिनमा चलहल गर्ने हरेक जीवित प्राणी, आकाशका हरेक पक्षी, जमिनमा घस्रने हरेक जन्तु र समुद्रका सबै माछामाथि तिमीहरूको डर र त्रास रहनेछ । ती तिमीहरूका हातमा सुम्पिएका छन् ।
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.
हरेक चलहल गर्ने प्राणी तिमीहरूका निम्ति भोजन हुनेछन् । मैले तिमीहरूलाई हरिया वनस्पतिहरू दिएजस्तै अब म तिमीहरूलाई सबै थोक दिन्छु ।
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].
तर तिमीहरूले मासु त्यसको प्राण दिने रगतसमेत नखाओ ।
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
तर तिमीहरूको प्राण दिने रगतको साटो म लेखा लिनेछु । हरेक पशुबाट म प्राणको साटो लिनेछु । आफ्नो भाइको हत्या गर्ने हरेक मानिसको हातबाट म त्यस मानिसको प्राणको साटो लिनेछु ।
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].
जसले मानिसको रगत बगाउँछ मानिसद्वारा नै त्यसको रगत बगाइनेछ, किनकि परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई आफ्नै स्वरूपमा बनाउनुभयो ।
7 As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
तिमीहरूचाहिँ पृथ्वीमा फल्दै-फुल्दै, वृद्धि हुँदै, फैलँदै जाओ ।”
8 God also said to Noah and his sons,
त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले नोआ र तिनका छोराहरूलाई यसो भन्नुभयो,
9 “Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
“मेरो कुरा सुन! तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूपछि आउने तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरू, तिमीहरूसँगै भएका हरेक जीवित प्राणी अर्थात्
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.
पक्षीहरू, पालिने पशुहरू र जहाजबाट बाहिर आउनेदेखि पृथ्वीमा भएका हरेक जीवित प्राणीसित म मेरो करार स्थापित गर्दै छु ।
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.”
जलप्रलयको पानीद्वारा फेरि सबै प्राणी नष्ट गरिनेछैनन् भनी म मेरो करार तिमीहरूसित स्थापित गर्दछु । पृथ्वीलाई सर्वनाश गर्ने जलप्रलय फेरि कहिल्यै आउनेछैन ।
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:
परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पुस्तौँको निम्ति मेरो र तिमीहरूसाथै हरेक जीवित प्राणीसित मैले जुन करार बाँध्दै छु, त्यसको चिन्ह यही हुन्छ
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.
कि मैले बादलमा इन्द्रेणी राखेको छु, र यो मेरो र पृथ्वीको बिचमा करारको चिन्ह हुनेछ ।
14 When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
मैले पृथ्वीमाथि बादल फिँजाउँदा जब इन्द्रेणी देखा पर्छ
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.
तब म मेरो करारलाई सम्झनेछु जुन करार मेरो र तिमीहरूसाथै हरेक जीवित प्राणीको बिचमा बाँधिएको छ । जलप्रलयले फेरि कहिल्यै सबै प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछैन ।
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.”
परमेश्वर र पृथ्वीमा रहेका सबै जीवित प्राणीबिच बाँधिएको नित्य रहिरहने कराको सम्झना गर्नलाई म बादलमा देखा पर्ने इन्द्रेणीलाई हेर्नेछु ।”
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.”
तब परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो र पृथ्वीमा भएका सबै जीवित प्राणीको बिचमा मैले स्थापित गरेको करारको चिन्ह यही हो ।”
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
जहाजबाट बाहिर निस्केर आएका नोआका छोराहरू शेम, हाम र येपेत थिए । हाम कनानका पिता थिए ।
19 All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
यी तिन जना नोआका छोराहरू थिए, र यिनीहरूबाट नै समस्त पृथ्वी भरियो ।
20 Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
नोआ किसान हुन लागे, र तिनले दाखबारी लगाए ।
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.
दाखमद्य पिएर तिनी मात्तिए । तिनी आफ्नो पालमा नाङ्गै पल्टिरहेका थिए ।
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.
तब कनानका पिता हामले आफ्ना पिताको नाङ्गोपन देखे र बाहिर आएर दुवै दाजुलाई बताइदिए ।
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.
त्यसैले, शेम र येपेतले एउटा लबेदा लिएर त्यसलाई काँधमा हाले अनि पछिल्तिर सर्दै गएर तिनीहरूका पिताको नाङ्गोपन ढाकिदिए । तिनीहरूको अनुहार अर्कोपट्टि फर्केकाले तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पिताको नाङ्गोपन देखेनन् ।
24 When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
नोआ आफ्नो मद्यको लतबाट उठेपछि तिनका कान्छा छोराले तिनलाई के गरेका थिए भनी तिनलाई थाहा भयो ।
25 He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
त्यसैले तिनले भने, “श्रापित होस् कनान । त्यो आफ्ना दाजुहरूका कमाराहरूका पनि कमारा होस् ।”
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].
तिनले यसो पनि भने, “शेमका परमेश्वर यहोवे धन्यका होऊन्, र कनान त्यसको कमारो होस् ।
27 And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
परमेश्वरले येपेतको क्षेत्र वृद्धि गर्नुभएको होस् र त्यसले शेमका पालहरूमा बास गरून् । कनान त्यसका कमारा होस् ।”
28 Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
जलप्रलयपछि नोआ तिन सय पचास वर्ष बाँचे ।
29 He died when he was 950 years old.
नोआको जम्मा उमेर नौ सय पचास वर्ष भयो, अनि तिनी मरे
