Genesis 9
1 And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, Chineke gọziri Noa na ụmụ ya sị ha: “Mụọnụ, baanụ, jupụtanụ nʼụwa.
2 and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea — into your hand they have been given.
Egwu unu na ụjọ unu ga-adakwasị anụmanụ niile nke ụwa nke dị ndụ, na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe, na ihe e kere eke niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, na azụ niile dị nʼosimiri. Ewerela m ha niile nyefee unu nʼaka.
3 Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
Ihe ọbụla dị ndụ nke na-ejegharị ejegharị ga-abụ nri unu. Enyela m unu ihe niile ugbu a dịka m si nye unu ahịhịa ndụ niile.
4 only flesh in its life — its blood — ye do not eat.
“Ma unu agaghị eri anụ ọbụla nke ọbara ndụ ya dị ya nʼahụ.
5 'And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of man;
Ma gbasara ọbara ndụ unu, unu ga-asara ọnụ unu nʼihu m. Anụmanụ ọbụla ga-asara ọnụ ya nʼihu m. Mmadụ ọbụla kwa ga-asara ọnụ ya nʼihu m banyere ndụ mmadụ ibe ya.
6 whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.
“Onye ọbụla wufuru ọbara mmadụ, nʼaka mmadụ ka a ga-awụfu ọbara nke ya, nʼihi nʼoyiyi Chineke ka Chineke mere mmadụ.
7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'
Ma unu onwe unu, mịanụ mkpụrụ, mụbaanụ, jupụtanụ ụwa, baakwanụ ụba nʼime ya.”
8 And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying,
Chineke gwara Noa na ụmụ ya sị,
9 'And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
“Ugbu a, ana m ehiwe ọgbụgba ndụ nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti agbụrụ unu ndị ga-anọchi unu,
10 and with every living creature which [is] with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the ark — to every beast of the earth.
na nʼetiti ihe niile nwere ndụ nke unu na ha so, ụmụ anụ ufe, na ụmụ anụ ụlọ, na ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile, ndị ahụ niile so unu si nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta, bụ ihe niile nwere ndụ nʼụwa.
11 And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not any more a deluge to destroy the earth.'
Ebe ọ bụ na m ehiwela ọgbụgba ndụ m nʼetiti mụ na unu, ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na a ga-eji uju mmiri kpochapụ ihe niile e kere eke, ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na a ga-eji uju mmiri bibie ụwa.”
12 And God saith, 'This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to generations age-during;
Chineke kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ nke m na-etinye nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti ihe niile nwere ndụ so unu, ọgbụgba ndụ nke ga-adị nye ọgbọ niile na-abịa nʼihu.
13 My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;
Etinyela m eke na egwurugwu m na mbara eluigwe, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ama nke ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti mụ na ụwa.
14 and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud,
Mgbe ọbụla m zitere igwe ojii nʼụwa, ọ bụrụ na eke na egwurugwu apụta ìhè na mbara eluigwe,
15 and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters become no more a deluge to destroy all flesh;
aga m echeta ọgbụgba ndụ m mere ka ọ dịrị nʼetiti mụ na unu, na nʼetiti mụ na ihe niile nwere ndụ site nʼihe niile e kere eke. Ọ gaghị emekwa ọzọ na mmiri ga-aghọ uju mmiri ibibi ihe niile nwere ndụ.
16 and the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it — to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth.'
Mgbe ọbụla eke na egwurugwu pụtara nʼigwe ojii, aga m ahụ ya cheta ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi nke dị nʼetiti Chineke na ihe niile nwere ndụ site nʼihe niile e kere eke nọ nʼelu ụwa.”
17 And God saith unto Noah, 'This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.'
Chineke gwara Noa sị, “Nke a bụ ihe ama ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ m hiwere nʼetiti mụ na ihe niile nwere ndụ nʼụwa.”
18 And the sons of Noah who are going out of the ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Noa ndị si nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta bụ Shem, Ham na Jafet. (Ham bụ nna Kenan.)
19 These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread.
Ndị a bụ ụmụ ndị ikom atọ Noa mụrụ. Ọ bụ site na ha ka ndị mmadụ niile gbasara nʼụwa niile si pụta.
20 And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,
Noa, onye ọrụ ubi, bidoro ịkụ ubi vaịnị a gbara ogige.
21 and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.
Mgbe ọ ṅụrụ mmanya si nʼubi a, ṅụbiga ya oke, ọ gbaara ọtọ dinaa ala nʼime ụlọ ikwu ya.
22 And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without.
Ham, nna Kenan, hụrụ ọtọ nna ya, gaa kọọrọ ụmụnne ya abụọ nọ nʼezi ihe ọ hụrụ.
23 And Shem taketh — Japheth also — the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father's nakedness they have not seen.
Ma Shem na Jafet weere akwa tụkwasị nʼubu ha, were azụ jere ije ruo nʼebe nna ha nọ, hapụ akwa ahụ ka ọ dakwasị nna ha kpuchikwaa ọtọ ya. Ma ha chepuru ihu nʼebe ọzọ mgbe ha na-eme nke a, nʼihi ya, ha elekwasịghị ọtọ nna ha anya.
24 And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,
Mgbe Noa si nʼụra mmanya ya bilie, chọpụta ihe nwa ya nwoke nke nta mere,
25 and saith: 'Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'
o kwuru sị, “Onye a bụrụ ọnụ ka Kenan bụ! Ohu ndị ohu, ka ọ ga-abụrụ ụmụnne ya.”
26 And he saith: 'Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
Ọ sịkwara, “Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke Shem. Ka Kenan bụrụ ohu Shem.
27 God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'
Ka Chineke mee ka ebe obibi Jafet saa mbara, ka Jafet biri nʼụlọ ikwu Shem, meekwa ka Kenan bụrụ ohu ya.”
28 And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;
Mgbe uju mmiri ahụ gabigachara, Noa biri ndụ narị afọ atọ na iri afọ ise ọzọ.
29 and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.
Ọnụọgụgụ afọ Noa niile mgbe ọ nwụrụ, bụ narị afọ itoolu na iri afọ ise.
