Mose 1 9
1 Mawu yra Noa kple viawo, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Midzi ne miasɔ gbɔ ayɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.”
And God blessed Noah and his sonnes, and said to them, Bring foorth fruite, and multiplie, and replenish the earth.
2 Vɔvɔ̃ aɖo anyigbadzilãwo katã kple dziƒoxevi ɖe sia ɖe kple lã ɖe sia ɖe si tana kple ƒumelãwo katã ɖe mia ŋu, eye metsɔ wo de asi na mi.
Also the feare of you, and the dread of you shalbe vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery foule of the heauen, vpon all that moueth on the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they deliuered.
3 Nu sia nu si le agbe, eye woʋãna la anye nuɖuɖu na mi. Abe ale si metsɔ amagbewo na mi kpɔ ene la, nenema ke mele nu sia nu tsɔm le asi dem na mi fifia.
Euery thing that moueth and liueth, shall be meate for you: as the greene herbe, haue I giuen you all things.
4 “Ke mele be miaɖu lã si me ʋu metsyɔ le la o.
But flesh with the life thereof, I meane, with the blood thereof, shall ye not eate.
5 Mabia akɔnta mi tso ʋu si le mia me la ŋu. Mabia akɔnta tso lã sia lã ŋu, eye mabia akɔnta ame sia ame hã tso nɔvia ƒe agbe ŋu.
For surely I will require your blood, wherein your liues are: at the hand of euery beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, euen at the hand of a mans brother will I require the life of man.
6 “Ame sia ame si akɔ ame ƒe ʋu ɖi la, ame akɔ eya hã ƒe ʋu ɖi, elabena Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme me Mawu wɔe ɖo.
Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.
7 Ɛ̃, midzi ne miasɔ gbɔ fũu, mikpe xexe blibo la me ɖo, eye miaɖu edzi.”
But bring ye forth fruite and multiplie: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein.
8 Mawu gblɔ na Noa kple via ŋutsuwo be,
God spake also to Noah and to his sonnes with him, saying,
9 “Azɔ la, mebla nu kple wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo
Behold, I, euen I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you,
10 kpakple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si nɔ gbɔwò, xeviawo, aƒemelãawo, lã wɔadãawo katã, nu sia nu si do go tso aɖakaʋu la me kple wò, nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si le anyigba dzi.
And with euery liuing creature that is with you, with the foule, with the cattell, and with euery beast of the earth with you, from all that goe out of the Arke, vnto euery beast of the earth.
11 Mebla nu kpli wò. Tsiɖɔɖɔ magatsi agbe nu na nu gbagbewo azɔ o. Tsi magaɖɔ, agatsrɔ̃ anyigba akpɔ o.
And my couenant will I establish with you, that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by ye waters of the flood, neither shall there be a flood to destroy the earth any more.
12 Metsɔ dzesi sia tre nubabla sia nu:
Then God saide, This is the token of the couenant which I make betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing, that is with you vnto perpetuall generations.
13 Metsɔ nye anyieʋɔ de lilikpowo me abe nye nubabla ƒe dzesi na wò kple anyigbadzitɔwo katã ene va se ɖe xexea me ƒe nuwuwu.
I haue set my bowe in the cloude, and it shalbe for a signe of the couenant betweene me and the earth.
14 Ne mena lilikpowo tsyɔ anyigba dzi la, woakpɔ anyieʋɔ le lilikpoawo me,
And when I shall couer the earth with a cloud, and the bowe shall be seene in the cloude,
15 ekema maɖo ŋku nye nubabla kpli wò kple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe dzi be tsiɖɔɖɔ magava atsrɔ̃ nu gbagbewo azɔ o.
Then will I remember my couenant, which is betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing in all flesh, and there shalbe no more waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Ɣe sia ɣi si anyieʋɔ ado ɖe lilikpo me la, makpɔe, eye maɖo ŋku nubabla mavɔ si le Mawu kple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si le anyigba dzi dome la dzi.”
Therefore the bowe shalbe in the cloude, that I may see it, and remember the euerlasting couenant betweene God, and euery liuing thing in all flesh that is vpon the earth.
17 Eye Mawu gblɔ na Noa be, “Esiae nye nubabla si mewɔ kple nu gbagbe siwo katã le xexea me la ƒe dzesi.”
God said yet to Noah, This is the signe of the couenant, which I haue established betweene me and all flesh that is vpon the earth.
18 Noa ƒe vi etɔ̃awo ƒe ŋkɔwoe nye Sem, Ham kple Yafet. (Ham nye Kanaantɔwo fofo.)
Nowe the sonnes of Noah going foorth of the Arke, were Shem and Ham and Iapheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Amegbetɔƒome blibo la do tso Noa ƒe viŋutsu etɔ̃ siawo me.
These are the three sonnes of Noah, and of them was the whole earth ouerspred.
20 Noa, ame si nye agbledela la de waingble.
Noah also began to be an husband man and planted a vineyard.
21 Esi wòno wain la ƒe ɖe la, emu aha, eye wòɖe amama mlɔ anyi ɖe eƒe agbadɔ me.
And he drunke of ye wine and was drunken, and was vncouered in the middes of his tent.
22 Ham, ame si nye Kanaantɔwo fofo la kpɔ fofoa ƒe amame, eye wòyi ɖagblɔe na nɔvia eveawo.
And when Ham the father of Canaan sawe the nakednesse of his father, he tolde his two brethren without.
23 Ale Sem kple Yafet lé avɔ aɖe ɖe abɔta, trɔ kɔ ɖe adzɔge, zɔ megbemegbe yi avɔgbadɔ la me, eye wotsɔ avɔ la tsyɔ na wo fofo.
Then tooke Shem and Iapheth a garment, and put it vpon both their shoulders, and went backwarde, and couered the nakednesse of their father with their faces backwarde: so they sawe not their fathers nakednesse.
24 Esime Noa ƒe ŋkume kɔ, eye wòse nu si Via ŋutsu suetɔ wɔ ɖe eŋu la,
Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him,
25 egblɔ be, “Woaƒo fi ade Kanaan; ànye kluvi gblɔetɔ na nɔviwòwo.”
And said, Cursed be Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall he be vnto his brethren.
26 Eyi edzi be, “Woayra Yehowa, Sem ƒe Mawu. Kanaan nazu kluvi na Sem.
He said moreouer, blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
27 Mawu nekeke Yafet ƒe anyigba ɖe edzi. Yafet nanɔ Sem ƒe agbadɔwo me, eye Kanaan nanye eƒe kluvi.”
God perswade Iapheth, that he may dwell in the tentes of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
28 Noa ganɔ agbe ƒe alafa etɔ̃ blaatɔ̃ le tsiɖɔɖɔ megbe.
And Noah liued after the flood three hundreth and fiftie yeeres.
29 Exɔ ƒe alafa asiekɛ blaatɔ̃ hafi ku.
So all the dayes of Noah were nine hundreth and fiftie yeeres: and he died.
