Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩrathima Nuhu na ariũ ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ciaranai na mũingĩhe na mũiyũre thĩ.
2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
Nyamũ ciothe cia thĩ, na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, ciothe nĩ irĩmwĩtigagĩra na imakage nĩ inyuĩ, ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, na thamaki ciothe cia iria-inĩ; nĩndacineana moko-inĩ manyu.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
Kĩndũ gĩothe gĩtũũraga muoyo na gĩthiiaga-rĩ, gĩgũtuĩka irio cianyu. O ta ũrĩa ndamũheire mĩmera ĩrĩa mĩruru mũrĩĩage, rĩu nĩ ndamũhe indo ciothe ituĩke irio cianyu.
4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
“No rĩrĩ, mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ na thakame, tondũ thakame nĩyo muoyo.
5 I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
Na ti-itherũ nĩngarĩhanĩria gũitwo gwa thakame yanyu. Ndĩmĩrĩhanĩrie o na kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ o na ĩrĩkũ. Nake mũndũ angĩita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, o nake nĩakarĩhio thakame ĩyo.
6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
“Mũndũ o wothe ũgaita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, thakame yake o nayo ĩgaitwo nĩ mũndũ; nĩgũkorwo Ngai ombire mũndũ na mũhianĩre wake.
7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciaranai na mũingĩhe; muongerereke thĩ na mũiyũre kuo.”
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu hamwe na ariũ ake atĩrĩ,
9 “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
“Rĩu niĩ nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ, na njiaro cianyu iria igooka thuutha wanyu,
10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
o na hamwe na kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo kĩa iria mũraarĩ nacio; nĩcio nyoni, na mahiũ o na nyamũ cia gĩthaka ciothe iria cioimire thabina hamwe na inyuĩ, ici nĩcio ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ.
11 I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
Nĩndathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ: Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ muoyo wothe ũkaaniinwo na mũiyũro wa maaĩ; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ gũkaagĩa mũiyũro wa maaĩ wa kũniina thĩ.”
12 God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Ningĩ Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndĩrarĩkanĩra na inyuĩ na ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo irĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa njiarwa ciothe iria igooka:
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
Nĩndekĩra mũkũnga-mbura wakwa matu-inĩ, na nĩguo ũgũtuĩka kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa na andũ a thĩ.
14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngaarehe matu igũrũ rĩa thĩ, naguo mũkũnga-mbura woneke matu-inĩ macio,
15 I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
nĩndĩĩririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gatagatĩ kanyu na niĩ, na gatagatĩ ga ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe iria itũũraga muoyo. Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ maaĩ magatuĩka mũiyũro wa kũniina mĩoyo yothe.
16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũkũnga-mbura ũrĩonekaga itu-inĩ-rĩ, ndĩĩwonaga ngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene gatagatĩ ka Ngai na ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe iria itũũraga muoyo gũkũ thĩ.”
17 God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndathondeka gatagatĩ gakwa na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ.”
18 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
Ariũ a Nuhu arĩa moimire thabina maarĩ Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu. (Hamu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Kaanani).
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
Acio atatũ nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Nuhu, na kuuma kũrĩ o gũkiuma andũ arĩa othe maahurunjirwo thĩ yothe.
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
Nuhu aarĩ mũrĩmi, na nĩahaandire mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ.
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
Rĩrĩa aanyuire ndibei ya mĩthabibũ ĩyo, akĩrĩĩo, na agĩkoma thĩinĩ wa hema yake atehumbĩrĩte.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
Hamu, ithe wa Kaanani, nĩonire njaga ya ithe, na akĩĩra ariũ a nyina eerĩ arĩa maarĩ nja.
23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
No Shemu na Jafethu makĩoya nguo makĩigĩrĩra ciande; magĩthiĩ na kĩĩhutaatĩ, makĩhumbĩra njaga ya ithe. Mothiũ mao maahũgũkĩte na kũngĩ nĩguo matikoone njaga ya ithe wao.
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
Rĩrĩa Nuhu aarĩĩũkirwo na akĩmenya ũrĩa mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini aamwĩkĩte-rĩ,
25 He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaanani aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi! Agaatuĩka ngombo ya kũhinyĩrĩrio biũ nĩ ariũ a nyina.”
26 He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogaathwo, o we Ngai wa Shemu! Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo ya Shemu.
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
Ngai aroaramia mĩhaka ya Jafethu; Jafethu arotũũra hema-inĩ cia Shemu, na Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo yake.”
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
Thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũthira-rĩ, Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matatũ na mĩrongo ĩtano.
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka magana kenda na mĩrongo ĩtano, agĩcooka agĩkua.
