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 said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.
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 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 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 reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.
4 Tansèlman, se pa pou n' manje vyann ak tout san ladan l', paske san yon bèt se nanm li.
But flesh with blood of life 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 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 Si yon moun touye yon moun, yon lòt moun gen pou touye l' tou, paske Bondye kreye moun pòtre ak li.
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 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 do you increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
8 Bondye pale ankò ak Noe ansanm ak pitit li yo, li di yo:
And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 -Men m'ap pase yon kontra ak nou tout ansanm ak tout pitit pitit k'ap vin apre nou yo.
And behold I 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 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 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.
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 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 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 M'ap mete lakansyèl mwen nan syèl la. Men siy m'ap ban nou pou kontra mwen pase ak latè a.
I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth.
14 Chak fwa m'a fè nwaj yo konmanse sanble, lakansyèl la va parèt nan syèl la.
And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud.
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, 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 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 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 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 [is] the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.
18 Men non pitit Noe yo ki te soti nan batiman an: Sèm, Kam ak Jafè. Kam se te papa Kanaran.
Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan.
19 Se twa pitit Noe sa yo ki peple mete moun sou tout latè.
These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth.
20 Noe se premye moun ki travay latè. Li plante yon jaden rezen.
And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he 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 he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house.
22 Lè Kam, papa Kanaran, wè papa l' toutouni, li ale di de frè l' yo sa.
And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers 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.
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 Lè Noe soti anba toudisman diven l' lan, yo di l' sa dezyèm pitit gason l' lan te fè l'.
And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him.
25 Li di. Madichon pou Kanaran! Se pou l' tounen dènye klas esklav frè l' yo.
And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to 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, and Chanaan shall be his bond-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 make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let 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 the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
