Ebandeli 9
1 Nzambe apambolaki Noa mpe bana na ye ya mibali. Alobaki na bango: « Bobota bana, bokoma ebele mpe botondisa mokili.
And God blessed Noah and his sonnes, and said to them, Bring foorth fruite, and multiplie, and replenish the earth.
2 Banyama nyonso ya mokili, bandeke nyonso ya likolo mpe bikelamu oyo etambolaka na mokili elongo na mbisi ya ebale, ekobanga bino makasi; nyonso epesami na maboko na bino.
Also the feare of you, and the dread of you shalbe vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery foule of the heauen, vpon all that moueth on the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they deliuered.
3 Bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi mpe oyo etambolaka, ekozala bilei na bino. Ndenge kaka napesaki bino matiti, sik’oyo napesi bino biloko nyonso.
Euery thing that moueth and liueth, shall be meate for you: as the greene herbe, haue I giuen you all things.
4 Kasi bokolia te mosuni oyo ezali na makila, pamba te makila ezali bomoi.
But flesh with the life thereof, I meane, with the blood thereof, shall ye not eate.
5 Bongo lokola makila na bino ezali bomoi na bino, nakosambisa oyo nyonso akotangisa yango, ezala nyama to moto. Nakosambisa moto nyonso mpo na bomoi ya moninga na ye.
For surely I will require your blood, wherein your liues are: at the hand of euery beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, euen at the hand of a mans brother will I require the life of man.
6 Yango wana, soki moto asopi makila ya moto, bakosopa mpe makila na ye epai ya moto, pamba te Nzambe asalaki moto na elilingi na Ye.
Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.
7 Kasi bino, bobota bana, bokoma ebele mpe botondisa mokili. »
But bring ye forth fruite and multiplie: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein.
8 Boye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa mpe na bana na ye ya mibali:
God spake also to Noah and to his sonnes with him, saying,
9 « Nasali sik’oyo boyokani elongo na yo mpe na bakitani na yo sima na yo,
Behold, I, euen I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you,
10 na bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali elongo na yo: bandeke, bibwele mpe banyama ya zamba, banyama nyonso oyo ebimaki na masuwa elongo na yo, bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na mokili.
And with euery liuing creature that is with you, with the foule, with the cattell, and with euery beast of the earth with you, from all that goe out of the Arke, vnto euery beast of the earth.
11 Nasali boyokani elongo na yo: bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi ekobebisama te na mayi ya mpela. Mpe mpela ekozala lisusu te mpo na kobebisa mokili. »
And my couenant will I establish with you, that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by ye waters of the flood, neither shall there be a flood to destroy the earth any more.
12 Nzambe alobaki lisusu: « Tala elembo ya boyokani oyo natie kati na Ngai mpe bino, mpe bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na bino elongo. Ezali boyokani mpo na milongo nyonso oyo ekoya:
Then God saide, This is the token of the couenant which I make betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing, that is with you vnto perpetuall generations.
13 natie monama na Ngai na mapata, mpe yango ekozala elembo ya boyokani kati na Ngai mpe mokili.
I haue set my bowe in the cloude, and it shalbe for a signe of the couenant betweene me and the earth.
14 Tango nyonso nakosangisa mapata na likolo ya mokili mpe monama ekobima na mapata,
And when I shall couer the earth with a cloud, and the bowe shall be seene in the cloude,
15 nakokanisa boyokani na Ngai elongo na bino mpe na bikelamu ya lolenge nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi. Mpe mayi ekokoma lisusu mpela te mpo na kobebisa nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi.
Then will I remember my couenant, which is betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing in all flesh, and there shalbe no more waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Tango nyonso monama ekobima na mapata, nakomona yango mpe nakokanisa boyokani ya seko kati na Nzambe mpe bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na mokili. »
Therefore the bowe shalbe in the cloude, that I may see it, and remember the euerlasting couenant betweene God, and euery liuing thing in all flesh that is vpon the earth.
17 Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Noa: « Yango nde ezali elembo ya boyokani oyo natie kati na Ngai mpe bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali kati na mokili. »
God said yet to Noah, This is the signe of the couenant, which I haue established betweene me and all flesh that is vpon the earth.
18 Tala bana mibali ya Noa oyo babimaki na masuwa: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti. Cham azalaki tata ya Kanana.
Nowe the sonnes of Noah going foorth of the Arke, were Shem and Ham and Iapheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Bango misato bazalaki bana ya Noa mpe na nzela na bango nde mokili etondaki lisusu na bato.
These are the three sonnes of Noah, and of them was the whole earth ouerspred.
20 Noa azalaki mosali bilanga mpe alonaki elanga ya vino.
Noah also began to be an husband man and planted a vineyard.
21 Tango amelaki masanga ya vino oyo ewutaki na elanga na ye, alangwaki mpe atikalaki bolumbu kati na ndako na ye ya kapo.
And he drunke of ye wine and was drunken, and was vncouered in the middes of his tent.
22 Cham, tata ya Kanana, amonaki bolumbu ya tata na ye mpe ayebisaki bandeko na ye ya mibali oyo bazalaki na libanda.
And when Ham the father of Canaan sawe the nakednesse of his father, he tolde his two brethren without.
23 Kasi Semi mpe Jafeti bazwaki elamba mpe batiaki yango na mapeka na bango. Bazongaki sima-sima mpe bazipaki bolumbu ya tata na bango. Lokola bilongi na bango etalaki na ngambo mosusu, bamonaki bolumbu ya tata na bango te.
Then tooke Shem and Iapheth a garment, and put it vpon both their shoulders, and went backwarde, and couered the nakednesse of their father with their faces backwarde: so they sawe not their fathers nakednesse.
24 Tango milangwa ya Noa esilaki, ayokaki likambo oyo mwana na ye ya suka asalaki.
Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him,
25 Alobaki: « Tika ete Kanana alakelama mabe, azala mowumbu ya suka ya bandeko na ye! »
And said, Cursed be Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall he be vnto his brethren.
26 Alobaki lisusu: « Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Semi, apambolama! Tika ete Kanana azala mowumbu ya Semi!
He said moreouer, blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
27 Tika ete Nzambe ayeisa monene mabele ya Jafeti! Tika ete Jafeti avanda na bandako ya kapo ya Semi, mpe Kanana azala mowumbu na ye! »
God perswade Iapheth, that he may dwell in the tentes of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
28 Sima na mpela, Noa awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama misato na tuku mitano.
And Noah liued after the flood three hundreth and fiftie yeeres.
29 Mibu nyonso ya bomoi ya Noa ezalaki nkama libwa na tuku mitano, sima akufaki.
So all the dayes of Noah were nine hundreth and fiftie yeeres: and he died.
