Jenèz 9
1 Konsa, Bondye te beni Noé avèk fis li yo. Li te di yo: “Se pou nou vin fekon, miltipliye, e ranpli latè.
And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
2 Lakrent nou, ak laperèz nou va vini sou chak bèt latè, ak chak zwazo syèl la. Tout bagay ki kouri atè, ak tout pwason lanmè, tout livre nan men nou.
The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.
3 Chak bagay ki fè mouvman e ki vivan va sèvi kòm manje pou nou. Mwen bannou tout, jan Mwen te bay plant vèt la.
Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.
4 “Sèlman, nou pa pou manje chè avèk lavi li, sa vle di san li.
But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.
5 Anverite, Mwen va egzije san lavi a paske se pa m. Menm soti nan chak bèt Mwen va egzije li. Epi sou chak òm, sou frè a chak òm, Mwen va egzije lavi a yon moun.
And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:
6 “Nenpòt moun ki vèse san lòm, pa lòm san pa l va vèse, paske nan imaj a Bondye, Li te fè lòm.
Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.
7 Epi pou nou, se pou nou vin fekon, e miltipliye. Peple tè a anpil, e miltipliye ladann.”
But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”
8 Alò, Bondye te pale avèk Noé ak fis li yo avè l. Li te di:
Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,
9 “Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen vin etabli akò Mwen avèk nou, e avèk desandan aprè nou yo,
“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,
10 epi avèk chak kreyati vivan ki avè w: zwazo, bèt kay yo, ak chak bèt ki sou latè avèk nou, tout sa ki sòti nan lach la, menm chak bèt sou tè a.
and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark.
11 “Mwen etabli akò Mwen avèk nou: Tout chè p ap janm koupe ankò pa dlo delij, ni p ap gen delij ankò pou detwi tè a.”
And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 Bondye te di: “Sa se sign akò ke m ap fè antre Mwen avèk nou, e avèk chak kreyati vivan ki la avèk nou, jis rive pou tout jenerasyon k ap vini yo.
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
13 Mwen mete lakansyèl Mwen nan nwaj la, epi l ap sèvi kòm yon sign pou akò antre Mwen menm avèk latè a.
I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
14 Li va rive ke lè m mennen yon nwaj sou latè, ke lakansyèl la ap vizib nan nwaj la,
Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15 epi Mwen va sonje akò ki antre Mwen menm avèk nou an, avèk chak kreyati vivan de tout chè. Epi janmen ankò dlo p ap vin yon delij pou detwi tout chè.
I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
16 “Lè lakansyèl la nan nwaj la, Mwen va gade sou li, pou m sonje akò ki jis pou tout tan antre Bondye ak tout kreyati vivan pou tout chè ki sou latè yo.”
And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.”
17 Epi Bondye te di a Noé: “Sa se sign akò ke Mwen te etabli antre Mwen ak tout chè ki rete sou tè a.”
So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”
18 Alò, fis Noé yo ki te soti nan lach la se te Sem, Cham, ak Japhet. Epi Cham te papa Canaan.
The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.
19 Twa sila yo se te fis Noé yo, e nan twa sila yo tout tè a te vin peple.
These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
20 Alò, Noé te kòmanse kiltive tè a. Li te plante yon chan rezen.
Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
21 Li te bwè diven, e li te vin sou. Konsa li te dekouvri kò li anndan tant li an.
But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.
22 Cham, papa Canaan nan, te wè papa li toutouni, e li te pale sa a frè l yo deyò a.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.
23 Men Sem avèk Japhet te pran yon abiman, yo te mete li sou chak zepòl li, e yo te mache an aryè pou kouvri nidite papa yo. Figi yo te vire akote pou yo pa wè nidite li.
Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
24 Lè Noé te leve nan dòmi aprè diven an, li te konnen sa ke pi jenn fis li a te fè l la.
When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,
25 Konsa li te di: “Canaan se modi. Se sèvitè l ap ye anvè frè li yo.”
he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
26 Li te di osi: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye a Cham nan. Canaan va sèvitè li.
He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.
27 Ke Bondye agrandi Japhet. Kite li viv nan tant Sem yo. Kite Canaan vin sèvitè li.”
May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”
28 Noé te viv twa-san-senkant ane aprè delij la.
After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.
29 Alò, tout jou a Noé yo te nèf-san-senkant ane, e li te mouri.
So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
