Kĩambĩrĩria 9
1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩrathima Nuhu na ariũ ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ciaranai na mũingĩhe na mũiyũre thĩ.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
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 fear of you and the dread of you will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are given.
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.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 “No rĩrĩ, mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ na thakame, tondũ thakame nĩyo muoyo.
But flesh with its life, its blood, 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.
And surely I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
6 “Mũndũ o wothe ũgaita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, thakame yake o nayo ĩgaitwo nĩ mũndũ; nĩgũkorwo Ngai ombire mũndũ na mũhianĩre wake.
Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
7 No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciaranai na mũingĩhe; muongerereke thĩ na mũiyũre kuo.”
And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."
8 Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu hamwe na ariũ ake atĩrĩ,
God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Rĩu niĩ nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ, na njiaro cianyu iria igooka thuutha wanyu,
"And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring 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 that is with you: the flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
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.”
I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy 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:
God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that 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 rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngaarehe matu igũrũ rĩa thĩ, naguo mũkũnga-mbura woneke matu-inĩ macio,
It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will 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 every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy 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.”
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh that is on 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.”
God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
18 Ariũ a Nuhu arĩa moimire thabina maarĩ Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu. (Hamu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Kaanani).
The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Acio atatũ nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Nuhu, na kuuma kũrĩ o gũkiuma andũ arĩa othe maahurunjirwo thĩ yothe.
These were the three sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
20 Nuhu aarĩ mũrĩmi, na nĩahaandire mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ.
Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard.
21 Rĩrĩa aanyuire ndibei ya mĩthabibũ ĩyo, akĩrĩĩo, na agĩkoma thĩinĩ wa hema yake atehumbĩrĩte.
He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22 Hamu, ithe wa Kaanani, nĩonire njaga ya ithe, na akĩĩra ariũ a nyina eerĩ arĩa maarĩ nja.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.
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.
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 turned the other way, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
24 Rĩrĩa Nuhu aarĩĩũkirwo na akĩmenya ũrĩa mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini aamwĩkĩte-rĩ,
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaanani aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi! Agaatuĩka ngombo ya kũhinyĩrĩrio biũ nĩ ariũ a nyina.”
He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
26 Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogaathwo, o we Ngai wa Shemu! Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo ya Shemu.
He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27 Ngai aroaramia mĩhaka ya Jafethu; Jafethu arotũũra hema-inĩ cia Shemu, na Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo yake.”
May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."
28 Thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũthira-rĩ, Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matatũ na mĩrongo ĩtano.
Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
29 Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka magana kenda na mĩrongo ĩtano, agĩcooka agĩkua.
All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, then he died.
