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 blesses Noah and his sons, and says to them, “Be fruitful, 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 your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea—into your hand they have been given.
3 Koulye a, nou gen dwa manje tout kalite bèt vivan k'ap mache, tout kalite fèy vèt. Mwen ban nou tout pou manje.
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
4 Tansèlman, se pa pou n' manje vyann ak tout san ladan l', paske san yon bèt se nanm li.
only flesh in its life—its blood—you do 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.
And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man’s brother 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.
whoever sheds man’s blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God has He 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.
And you, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 Bondye pale ankò ak Noe ansanm ak pitit li yo, li di yo:
And God speaks to Noah, 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 I, behold, I am establishing 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 which [is] with you, among bird, among livestock, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the Ark—to every beast 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.
And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not cut off anymore by waters of a flood, and there is not a flood to destroy the earth anymore.”
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 says, “This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to continuous generations;
13 M'ap mete lakansyèl mwen nan syèl la. Men siy m'ap ban nou pou kontra mwen pase ak latè a.
My bow I have given in the cloud, and it has been for a token of a 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 has come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow has been 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 have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters no longer become 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 has been in the cloud, and I have seen it—to remember the perpetual covenant between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on 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 says to Noah, “This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] on 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 Noah who are going out of the Ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.
19 Se twa pitit Noe sa yo ki peple mete moun sou tout latè.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these has all the earth been overspread.
20 Noe se premye moun ki travay latè. Li plante yon jaden rezen.
And Noah remains a man of the ground, and plants 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 drinks of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovers himself in the midst of the tent.
22 Lè Kam, papa Kanaran, wè papa l' toutouni, li ale di de frè l' yo sa.
And Ham, father of Canaan, sees the nakedness of his father, and declares to his two brothers outside.
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 Shem takes—Japheth also—the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father’s nakedness they have not seen.
24 Lè Noe soti anba toudisman diven l' lan, yo di l' sa dezyèm pitit gason l' lan te fè l'.
And Noah awakens from his wine, and knows that which his young son has done to him,
25 Li di. Madichon pou Kanaran! Se pou l' tounen dènye klas esklav frè l' yo.
and says: “Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brothers.”
26 Li di ankò. Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye Sèm lan. Se pou Kanaran tounen esklav Sèm.
And he says: “Blessed of my God YHWH [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
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.
God gives beauty to Japheth, And he dwells in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.”
28 Apre gwo inondasyon an, Noe viv twasansenkantan (350 an).
And Noah lives after the flood three hundred and fifty years;
29 Lè l' mouri, li te gen nèfsansenkantan (950 an).
and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dies.
