1 Sa’an nan Allah ya sa wa Nuhu da’ya’yansa maza albarka, yana ce musu, “Ku haifi’ya’ya, ku ƙaru, ku kuma cika duniya.
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over the earth.
2 Dukan namun jeji da dukan tsuntsayen sama da kowace halitta mai rarrafe a ƙasa, da dukan kifayen teku, za su riƙa jin tsoronku, suna fargaba. An sa su a cikin hannuwanku.
All the wild animals on the earth and all the birds, all the creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the fish, will be very afraid [DOU] of you. I have put them under your control.
3 Kome da yake da rai wanda yake tafiya, zai zama abincinku. Kamar yadda na ba ku kowane irin ganye, haka na ba ku kome da kome.
Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
4 “Akwai abu ɗaya da ba za ku ci ba, wato, nama wanda jininsa yake cikinsa tukuna.
[It is blood that causes creatures to be alive], therefore you must not eat meat that still has blood in it after the animal is killed. [After you have drained the blood out, you may cook it and eat it].
5 Game da jinin ranka kuwa lalle zan bukaci lissafi. Zan bukaci lissafi daga kowane dabba. kuma daga kowane mutum, shi ma zan bukaci lissafi game da ran ɗan’uwansa.
I insist that murderers must be executed. Animals that kill people must also be executed. The reason that everyone who murders someone else must be executed is that
6 “Duk wanda ya zub da jinin mutum, ta hannun mutum za a zub da jininsa; gama a cikin siffar Allah ne, Allah ya yi mutum.
I made people to be like myself [in many ways]. So someone who murders another human being must be executed by others, [because he killed someone who is like me].
7 Amma ku, ku yi ta haihuwa, ku ƙaru; ku yaɗu a duniya, ku yi yawa a bisanta.”
As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
8 Sai Allah ya ce wa Nuhu da’ya’yansa,
God also said to Noah and his sons,
9 “Yanzu na kafa alkawarina da ku da zuriyarku a bayanku,
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
10 da kowace halitta mai rai wadda ta kasance tare da kai; wato, tsuntsaye da dabbobin gida da kuma dukan namun jeji, duk dai iyakar abin da ya fita daga jirgin; wato, kowane mai rai na duniya.
and with all the living creatures that are with you—including the birds, the livestock, and the wild animals—every living creature on the earth that came out of the boat with you.
11 Na kafa alkawarina da ku, ba za a ƙara hallaka dukan rayuka da ambaliyar ruwa ba; ba za a ƙara yin ambaliya don a hallaka duniya ba.”
This is the promise that I am making to you: I will never again destroy all living creatures by a flood, or destroy everything else on the earth by a flood.”
12 Allah ya kuma ce, “Wannan ita ce alamar alkawarin da na yi tsakanina da ku, da kowace halitta tare da ku; alkawari na dukan zamanai masu zuwa.
Then God said to him, “This is the sign to guarantee that I will keep the promise that I am making to you and to all living creatures, a promise that I will keep forever:
13 Na sa bakan gizona cikin gizagizai, shi ne kuwa zai zama alamar alkawari tsakanina da duniya.
[From time to time] I will put a rainbow in the sky. It will remind me of my promise that I have made to you and everything on the earth.
14 Duk sa’ad da na kawo gizagizai a bisa duniya, bakan gizo kuma ya bayyana a ciki gizagizan,
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
15 zan tuna da alkawari tsakanina da ku da kuma dukan halittu masu rai na kowane iri. Ruwa ba zai sāke yin ambaliyar da za tă hallaka dukan masu rai ba.
it will remind me about the promise that I have made to you and all living creatures, my promise that there will never again be a flood that will destroy all living creatures.
16 Duk sa’ad da bakan gizo ya bayyana cikin gizagizan, zan gan shi in kuma tuna da madawwamin alkawari tsakanin Allah da dukan halittu masu rai, na kowane iri a duniya.”
Whenever there is a rainbow in the sky, I will see it, and I will think about the promise that I have made to every living creature that is upon the earth, a promise that I will keep forever.”
17 Saboda haka Allah ya ce wa Nuhu, “Wannan ita ce alamar alkawarin da na kafa tsakanina da dukan masu rai a duniya.”
Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow will be the sign of the promise that I have made to all the creatures that live on the earth.”
18 ’Ya’yan Nuhu maza, waɗanda suka fito daga cikin jirgi, su ne, Shem, Ham da Yafet. (Ham shi ne mahaifin Kan’ana.)
The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
19 Waɗannan su ne’ya’yan Nuhu maza uku, daga gare su ne kuma duniya za tă cika da mutane.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 Nuhu, mutumin ƙasa, shi ne farko da ya fara yin gonar inabi.
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 Sa’ad da ya sha ruwan inabin ya kuwa bugu, sai ya kwanta tsirara cikin tentinsa.
[When they later produced grapes, he made wine from the grapes]. One day, when he drank too much of the wine, he became drunk, and he lay naked in his tent.
22 Ham, mahaifin Kan’ana ya ga tsiraici mahaifinsa, ya kuma faɗa wa’yan’uwansa biyu a waje.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father lying naked in the tent. So he went outside and told his two older brothers what he had seen.
23 Amma Shem da Yafet suka ɗauki mayafi, suka shimfiɗa a kafaɗarsu, sa’an nan suka shiga suna tafiya da baya har zuwa inda mahaifinsu yake kwance, suka rufe tsiraicinsa. Suka kau da fuskokinsu domin kada su ga tsiraicin mahaifinsu.
Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked.
24 Sa’ad da Nuhu ya farka daga buguwarsa ya kuma gane abin da ƙarami ɗansa ya yi,
When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
25 sai ya ce, “Kan’ana la’ananne ne, zai zama bawa mafi ƙanƙanta ga’yan’uwansa.”
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 Ya kuma ce, “Albarka ta tabbata ga Ubangiji Allah na Shem! Bari Kan’ana yă zama bawan Shem.
I will ask God to enlarge the territory that belongs to Japheth, and allow his descendants to live peacefully among the descendants of Shem [MTY].
27 Allah yă ƙara fāɗin ƙasar Yafet; bari Yafet yă zauna a tentunan Shem, bari kuma Kan’ana yă zama bawansa.”
And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
28 Bayan ambaliyar, Nuhu ya yi shekaru 350.
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 Gaba ɗaya dai, Nuhu ya yi shekara 950, sa’an nan ya mutu.
He died when he was 950 years old.
