Genesis 9
1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.
Ndipo Mungu akambariki Noa na wanawe, akiwaambia, “Zaeni mkaongezeke kwa idadi na mkaijaze tena dunia.
2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be upon every living animal on the earth, upon every bird of the sky, upon everything that goes low on the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.
Wanyama wote wa duniani, ndege wote wa angani, kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya ardhi, na samaki wote wa baharini wamekabidhiwa mikononi mwenu, nao watawaogopa na kuwahofu.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
Kila kitu chenye uhai kiendacho kitakuwa chakula chenu. Kama vile nilivyowapa mimea mbalimbali, sasa nawapa kila kitu.
4 But you must not eat meat with its life—that is its blood—in it.
“Lakini kamwe msile nyama ambayo bado ina damu ya uhai wake, kwa maana damu ni uhai.
5 But for your blood, the life that is in your blood, I will require payment. From the hand of every animal I will require it. From the hand of any man, that is, from the hand of one who has murdered his brother, I will require an accounting for the life of that man.
Hakika damu ya uhai wenu nitaidai. Nitaidai kutoka kwa kila mnyama. Kutoka kwa kila mwanadamu pia nitaidai kwa ajili ya uhai wa mtu mwenzake.
6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man will his blood be shed, for it was in the image of God that he made man.
“Yeyote amwagaye damu ya mwanadamu, damu yake itamwagwa na mwanadamu, kwa kuwa katika mfano wa Mungu, Mungu alimuumba mwanadamu.
7 As for you, be fruitful and multiply, spread throughout the earth and multiply on it.”
Kuhusu ninyi, zaeni mwongezeke kwa wingi, mzidi katika dunia na kuijaza.”
8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
Ndipo Mungu akamwambia Noa na wanawe pamoja naye:
9 “As for me, listen! I am going to confirm my covenant with you and with your descendants after you,
“Sasa mimi ninaweka Agano langu nanyi, pamoja na uzao wenu baada yenu,
10 and with every living creature that is with you, with the birds, the livestock, and every creature of the earth with you, from all that came out of the ark, to every living creature on the earth.
pia na kila kiumbe hai kilichokuwa pamoja nanyi: Ndege, wanyama wa kufugwa na wanyama wote wa porini, wale wote waliotoka katika safina pamoja nanyi, kila kiumbe hai duniani.
11 I hereby confirm my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be destroyed by the waters of a flood. Never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
Ninaweka Agano nanyi: Kamwe uhai hautafutwa tena kwa gharika, kamwe haitakuwepo tena gharika ya kuangamiza dunia.”
12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:
Mungu akasema, “Hii ni ishara ya Agano ninalofanya kati yangu na ninyi na kila kiumbe hai kilicho pamoja nanyi, Agano kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo:
13 I have set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Nimeweka upinde wangu wa mvua mawinguni, nao utakuwa ishara ya Agano nifanyalo kati yangu na dunia.
14 It will come about when I bring a cloud over the earth and the rainbow is seen in the cloud,
Wakati wowote ninapotanda mawingu juu ya dunia na upinde wa mvua ukijitokeza mawinguni,
15 then I will call to mind my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. The waters will never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
nitakumbuka Agano langu kati yangu na ninyi na viumbe vyote vilivyo hai vya kila aina. Kamwe maji hayatakuwa tena gharika ya kuangamiza uhai wote.
16 The rainbow will be in the clouds and I will see it, in order to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
Wakati wowote upinde wa mvua unapotokea mawinguni, nitauona na kukumbuka Agano la milele kati ya Mungu na viumbe vyote vilivyo hai vya kila aina duniani.”
17 Then God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have confirmed between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Hivyo Mungu akamwambia Noa, “Hii ndiyo ishara ya Agano ambalo nimelifanya kati yangu na viumbe vyote vilivyo hai duniani.”
18 The sons of Noah that came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.
Wana wa Noa waliotoka ndani ya safina ni: Shemu, Hamu na Yafethi. (Hamu ndiye alikuwa baba wa Kanaani.)
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
Hawa ndio waliokuwa wana watatu wa Noa, kutokana nao watu walienea katika dunia.
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
Noa akawa mkulima, akawa mtu wa kwanza kupanda mizabibu.
21 He drank some of the wine and became drunk. He was lying uncovered in his tent.
Alipokunywa huo mvinyo wake akalewa na akalala uchi kwenye hema lake.
22 Then Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.
Hamu, baba wa Kanaani, akauona uchi wa baba yake na kuwaeleza ndugu zake wawili waliokuwa nje.
23 So Shem and Japheth took a robe and laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, so they did not see their father's nakedness.
Lakini Shemu na Yafethi wakachukua nguo wakaitanda mabegani mwao wote wawili, kisha wakaenda kinyumenyume, wakaufunika uchi wa baba yao. Nyuso zao zilielekea upande mwingine ili wasiuone uchi wa baba yao.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine, he learned what his youngest son had done to him.
Noa alipolevuka kutoka kwenye mvinyo wake na kujua lile ambalo mwanawe mdogo kuliko wote alilokuwa amemtendea,
25 So he said, “Cursed be Canaan. May he be a servant to his brothers' servants.”
akasema, “Alaaniwe Kanaani! Atakuwa mtumwa wa chini sana kuliko watumwa wote kwa ndugu zake.”
26 He also said, “May Yahweh, the God of Shem, be blessed, and may Canaan be his servant.
Pia akasema, “Abarikiwe Bwana, Mungu wa Shemu! Kanaani na awe mtumwa wa Shemu.
27 May God extend the territory of Japheth, and let him make his home in the tents of Shem. May Canaan be his servant.”
Mungu na apanue mipaka ya Yafethi; Yafethi na aishi katika mahema ya Shemu, na Kanaani na awe mtumwa wake.”
28 After the flood, Noah lived three hundred fifty years.
Baada ya gharika Noa aliishi miaka 350.
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
Noa alikuwa na jumla ya miaka 950, ndipo akafa.
