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 blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith 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.
and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea — into your hand they have been given.
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.
Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
4 “Sèlman, nou pa pou manje chè avèk lavi li, sa vle di san li.
only flesh in its life — its blood — ye do not eat.
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 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 “Nenpòt moun ki vèse san lòm, pa lòm san pa l va vèse, paske nan imaj a Bondye, Li te fè lòm.
whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.
7 Epi pou nou, se pou nou vin fekon, e miltipliye. Peple tè a anpil, e miltipliye ladann.”
And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'
8 Alò, Bondye te pale avèk Noé ak fis li yo avè l. Li te di:
And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying,
9 “Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen vin etabli akò Mwen avèk nou, e avèk desandan aprè nou yo,
'And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed 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 which [is] with you, among fowl, among cattle, 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 “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 have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not any more a deluge 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 saith, 'This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to generations age-during;
13 Mwen mete lakansyèl Mwen nan nwaj la, epi l ap sèvi kòm yon sign pou akò antre Mwen menm avèk latè a.
My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a 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,
and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud,
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.
and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters become no more a deluge to destroy all flesh;
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 the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it — to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which [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.”
And God saith unto Noah, 'This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.'
18 Alò, fis Noé yo ki te soti nan lach la se te Sem, Cham, ak Japhet. Epi Cham te papa Canaan.
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 Twa sila yo se te fis Noé yo, e nan twa sila yo tout tè a te vin peple.
These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread.
20 Alò, Noé te kòmanse kiltive tè a. Li te plante yon chan rezen.
And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,
21 Li te bwè diven, e li te vin sou. Konsa li te dekouvri kò li anndan tant li an.
and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.
22 Cham, papa Canaan nan, te wè papa li toutouni, e li te pale sa a frè l yo deyò a.
And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without.
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.
And Shem taketh — 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 Noé te leve nan dòmi aprè diven an, li te konnen sa ke pi jenn fis li a te fè l la.
And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,
25 Konsa li te di: “Canaan se modi. Se sèvitè l ap ye anvè frè li yo.”
and saith: 'Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'
26 Li te di osi: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye a Cham nan. Canaan va sèvitè li.
And he saith: 'Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27 Ke Bondye agrandi Japhet. Kite li viv nan tant Sem yo. Kite Canaan vin sèvitè li.”
God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'
28 Noé te viv twa-san-senkant ane aprè delij la.
And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;
29 Alò, tout jou a Noé yo te nèf-san-senkant ane, e li te mouri.
and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.
