< Genesis 9 >

1 God El akinsewowoyal Noah ac wen tolu natul, ac fahk, “Kowos isusi, tuh fwilin tulik nutuwos fah puseni ac nwakla faclu nufon.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 Kosro ac won ac ik nukewa ac fah moul in sangeng suwos. Ma inge nukewa ac fah oan ye ku lowos.
The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
3 Inge kowos ku in kang ma inge, oapana fokin ma kapak inima uh. Nga sot ma inge nukewa nu suwos kowos in mongo kac.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
4 Ma se na ma kowos fah tia kang uh pa ikwa ma srakna oasr srah kac, mweyen moul uh oasr ke srah uh.
But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
5 Kutena mwet su eisla moul lun sie pac mwet, ac fah anwuki el. Kutena kosro ma eisla moul lun sie mwet, kalya nu sel pa misa.
I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
6 Mwet uh orekla in luman God, ke ma inge kutena mwet su akmuseya sie mwet fah anwuki pac sin mwet.
Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
7 “Enenu in pukanten tulik nutuwos, tuh fwilin tulik nutuwos fah apunla fin faclu.”
Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 God El fahk nu sel Noah ac wen tolu natul,
God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Inge nga oru sie wulela inmasrlosr, ac oayapa yurin fwilin tulik nutuwos,
“As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10 ac yurin won nukewa ac kosro nukewa — ma nukewa ma wi kowos tufoki liki oak uh.
and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
11 Ke kas inge nga ac oru wulela luk yuruwos: nga wulela mu wangin sie pacl nga ac sifilpa kunausla ma su oasr moul la ke sronot. Faclu ac fah tia sifilpa kunausyukla ke sronot.
I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 Pa inge mwe akpwaye nu ke wuleang kawil se su nga oru yuruwos ac yurin ma moul nukewa inge,
God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 nga filiya lelakem luk in pukunyeng uh. Ac fah mwe akul ke wuleang se inmasrlok ac faclu nufon nwe tok.
I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 Kutena pacl ma nga afinya kusrao ke pukunyeng ac lelakem uh sikyak,
When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 nga fah esam wuleang luk nu suwos ac nu sin kosro nukewa, lah sronot ac fah tia sifil kunausla ma nukewa ma oasr moul la.
I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Pacl se lelakem uh sikyak in pukunyeng uh, nga ac fah liye ac esam wuleang kawil inmasrlok ac ma moul nukewa faclu.
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17 Pa ingan akil lun wulela su nga oru nu sin ma oasr moul la nukewa.”
God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
18 Wen tolu natul Noah su tufoki liki oak uh pa Shem, Ham, ac Japheth. (Ham pa papa tumal Canaan.)
The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Wen tolu natul Noah inge pa papa tumun mwet faclu nufon.
These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20 Noah, su tuh sie mwet ima, pa mwet se oemeet ma tuh yukwiya ima in grape uh.
Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
21 Tukun el numla kutu wain uh, el sruhila, sarukla nuknuk lal, ac oan koflufolla in lohm nuknuk sel.
He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22 Ke Ham, papa tumal Canaan, el liyauk lah papa tumal el koflufolla oan, el illa ac fahkang nu sin tamulel luo wiel.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23 Na Shem ac Japheth eis nuknuk loeloes se ac filiya finpisaltal. Eltal kohloli nu in lohm nuknuk sac ac afinya papa tumaltal. Mutaltal ngetla lukel tuh eltal in tia liye koflufol lal.
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
24 Ke sruhi lal Noah uh sarla lukel ac el etauk ke ma wen se ma fusr natul el oru nu sel,
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 el fahk, “Sie selnga nu facl Canaan! El ac fah sie mwet kohs nu sin tamulel lal.
He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26 Kaksakin LEUM GOD, God lal Shem! Canaan el ac fah mwet kohs lal Shem.
He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27 God Elan akyokyelik acn lal Japheth! Lela fwilin tulik natul in puseni ac muta yurin mwet lal Shem. Canaan el ac fah mwet kohs lal Japheth.”
May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
28 Tukun sronot sac, Noah el moul yac tolfoko lumngaul,
Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
29 ac misa ke el yac eufoko lumngaul matwal.
All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
