Kĩambĩrĩria 9
1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩrathima Nuhu na ariũ ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ciaranai na mũingĩhe na mũiyũre thĩ.
And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.
2 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.
And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your power.
3 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.
And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.
4 “No rĩrĩ, mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ na thakame, tondũ thakame nĩyo muoyo.
But flesh with blood of life you shall not eat.
5 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.
For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of [his] brother man.
6 “Mũndũ o wothe ũgaita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, thakame yake o nayo ĩgaitwo nĩ mũndũ; nĩgũkorwo Ngai ombire mũndũ na mũhianĩre wake.
He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man.
7 No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciaranai na mũingĩhe; muongerereke thĩ na mũiyũre kuo.”
But do you increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
8 Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu hamwe na ariũ ake atĩrĩ,
And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Rĩu niĩ nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ, na njiaro cianyu iria igooka thuutha wanyu,
And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10 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.
and with every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark.
11 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.”
And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth.
12 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:
And the Lord God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations.
13 Nĩndekĩra mũkũnga-mbura wakwa matu-inĩ, na nĩguo ũgũtuĩka kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa na andũ a thĩ.
I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngaarehe matu igũrũ rĩa thĩ, naguo mũkũnga-mbura woneke matu-inĩ macio,
And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud.
15 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.
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh.
16 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.”
And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between [every] living soul in all flesh, which is upon the earth.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndathondeka gatagatĩ gakwa na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ.”
And God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.
18 Ariũ a Nuhu arĩa moimire thabina maarĩ Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu. (Hamu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Kaanani).
Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan.
19 Acio atatũ nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Nuhu, na kuuma kũrĩ o gũkiuma andũ arĩa othe maahurunjirwo thĩ yothe.
These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth.
20 Nuhu aarĩ mũrĩmi, na nĩahaandire mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ.
And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
21 Rĩrĩa aanyuire ndibei ya mĩthabibũ ĩyo, akĩrĩĩo, na agĩkoma thĩinĩ wa hema yake atehumbĩrĩte.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house.
22 Hamu, ithe wa Kaanani, nĩonire njaga ya ithe, na akĩĩra ariũ a nyina eerĩ arĩa maarĩ nja.
And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without.
23 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.
And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face [was] backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father.
24 Rĩrĩa Nuhu aarĩĩũkirwo na akĩmenya ũrĩa mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini aamwĩkĩte-rĩ,
And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him.
25 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaanani aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi! Agaatuĩka ngombo ya kũhinyĩrĩrio biũ nĩ ariũ a nyina.”
And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren.
26 Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogaathwo, o we Ngai wa Shemu! Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo ya Shemu.
And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant.
27 Ngai aroaramia mĩhaka ya Jafethu; Jafethu arotũũra hema-inĩ cia Shemu, na Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo yake.”
May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant.
28 Thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũthira-rĩ, Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matatũ na mĩrongo ĩtano.
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka magana kenda na mĩrongo ĩtano, agĩcooka agĩkua.
And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
