Jenèz 9
1 Bondye beni Noe ak pitit li yo, li di yo. Fè pitit, fè anpil anpil pitit mete sou tè a.
And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 Se pou tout zannimo sou latè, tout zwazo ki nan syèl la, tout bèt vivan ki sou latè, tout pwason ki nan lanmè bese tèt devan nou. Se pou yo pè nou. Mwen ban nou pouvwa sou yo tout.
And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea are delivered into your hand.
3 Koulye a, nou gen dwa manje tout kalite bèt vivan k'ap mache, tout kalite fèy vèt. Mwen ban nou tout pou manje.
And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:
4 Tansèlman, se pa pou n' manje vyann ak tout san ladan l', paske san yon bèt se nanm li.
Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
5 Konprann sa byen: si yon moun touye nou, m'ap fè l' rann mwen kont. M'ap fè tout bèt ki touye nou rann mwen kont. tout moun ki touye moun parèy yo gen pou rann mwen kont.
For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man.
6 Si yon moun touye yon moun, yon lòt moun gen pou touye l' tou, paske Bondye kreye moun pòtre ak li.
Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.
7 Nou menm, se pou nou fè pitit, anpil pitit. Gaye kò nou toupatou sou latè, pou pitit nou yo toujou fè anpil pitit tou.
But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it.
8 Bondye pale ankò ak Noe ansanm ak pitit li yo, li di yo:
Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him,
9 -Men m'ap pase yon kontra ak nou tout ansanm ak tout pitit pitit k'ap vin apre nou yo.
Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
10 M'ap pase kontra a ak tout bèt vivan ki la avèk nou yo, zwazo, zannimo domestik, bèt nan bwa, avèk tout sa ki soti nan batiman an pou peple sou latè ankò.
And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.
11 Wi, m'ap pase kontra mwen ak nou: mwen pwomèt pou m' pa janm voye gwo inondasyon ankò pou detwi tout moun ak tout bèt vivan yo. Konsa, p'ap janm gen gwo inondasyon ankò pou ravaje latè.
I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth.
12 Bondye di ankò-Kontra m'ap pase avèk nou ansanm ak tout bèt vivan ki la avèk nou yo, se yon kontra k'ap la pou tout tan. M'ap ban nou yon siy pou li.
And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
13 M'ap mete lakansyèl mwen nan syèl la. Men siy m'ap ban nou pou kontra mwen pase ak latè a.
I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me, and between the earth.
14 Chak fwa m'a fè nwaj yo konmanse sanble, lakansyèl la va parèt nan syèl la.
And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:
15 Lè sa a, m'a chonje kontra mwen te fè avèk nou ansanm avèk tout kalite bèt vivan yo. p'ap janm gen gwo inondasyon ankò ki pou detwi tout moun ak tout bèt k'ap viv sou latè.
And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Lè lakansyèl la va parèt nan syèl la, m'a wè l', m'a chonje kontra mwen te pase pou tout tan ak tout moun ansanm ak tout kalite bèt k'ap viv sou latè.
And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.
17 Sa se siy kontra mwen pase ak tout moun ansanm ak tout bèt k'ap viv sou latè. Se konsa Bondye te pale ak Noe.
And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.
18 Men non pitit Noe yo ki te soti nan batiman an: Sèm, Kam ak Jafè. Kam se te papa Kanaran.
And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
19 Se twa pitit Noe sa yo ki peple mete moun sou tout latè.
These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
20 Noe se premye moun ki travay latè. Li plante yon jaden rezen.
And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
21 Yon jou, apre li te fin bwè diven, li sou. Li wete tout rad sou li, li kouche toutouni anba tant li.
And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
22 Lè Kam, papa Kanaran, wè papa l' toutouni, li ale di de frè l' yo sa.
Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father’s nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.
23 Men, Sèm ak Jafè pran yon gwo rad, yo chak pran yon bout, yo pase l' dèyè do yo, yo kenbe l' anwo zepòl yo. Yo mache pa do, yo antre, yo kouvri papa yo san yo pa janm vire tèt yo gade dèyè. Konsa yo pa wè papa yo toutouni.
But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24 Lè Noe soti anba toudisman diven l' lan, yo di l' sa dezyèm pitit gason l' lan te fè l'.
And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
25 Li di. Madichon pou Kanaran! Se pou l' tounen dènye klas esklav frè l' yo.
He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 Li di ankò. Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye Sèm lan. Se pou Kanaran tounen esklav Sèm.
And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.
27 Se pou Bondye mete sou byen Jafè yo. Se pou pitit pitit Jafè yo viv byen ak pitit Sèm yo. Se pou Kanaran tounen esklav yo.
May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.
28 Apre gwo inondasyon an, Noe viv twasansenkantan (350 an).
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years:
29 Lè l' mouri, li te gen nèfsansenkantan (950 an).
And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
