Olubereberye 9
1 Awo Katonda n’awa Nuuwa ne batabani be omukisa n’agamba nti, “Muzaale mwale mweyongerenga nnyo mujjuze ensi.
And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, Be fertile, and have increase, and make the earth full.
2 Ensolo zonna ez’omu nsiko, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga, na buli ekitambula ku nsi, buli ekiri mu nnyanja, byonna binaakutyanga, mbikuwadde mu mikono gyo.
And the fear of you will be strong in every beast of the earth and every bird of the air; everything which goes on the land, and all the fishes of the sea, are given into your hands.
3 Buli kintu ekiramu, ekitambula onookiryanga. Nga bwe nakuwa ebimera, kaakano nkuwa buli kintu.
Every living and moving thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave you all green things.
4 “Naye toolyenga nnyama ng’ekyalimu omusaayi gwayo.
But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.
5 Era ndivunaana ayiwa omusaayi gwammwe ne nvunaana n’omuntu olw’omusaayi gw’ensolo ne muvunaana n’olw’omusaayi gwa muntu munne.
And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man.
6 “Buli anaayiwanga omusaayi gw’omuntu, n’ogugwe gunaayiibwanga, kubanga mu kifaananyi kya Katonda, Katonda mwe yakolera omuntu.
Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his image.
7 Naye ggwe onoozaalanga ne weeyongera obungi. Oneeyongeranga ku nsi.”
And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.
8 Awo Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa ne batabani bwe baali
And God said to Noah and to his sons,
9 nti, “Laba nkola endagaano yange nammwe ne bonna abaliva mu mmwe oluvannyuma lwammwe,
Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you,
10 era na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri naawe: ebinyonyi, n’ensolo ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko zonna, ne byonna bye muvudde nabyo mu lyato, ne buli kitonde kyonna ku nsi.
And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.
11 Nkola endagaano yange eno nammwe: tewaabengawo mataba gazikiriza bulamu bwonna, tewakyaddayo kubaawo mataba gasaanyaawo nsi.”
And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.
12 Katonda n’agamba nti, “Kano ke kabonero ke nteeka wakati wange nammwe, na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri nammwe, era n’ab’emirembe egiriddawo.
And God said, This is the sign of the agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations:
13 Nteeka musoke wange mu kire, nga ke kabonero ak’endagaano wakati wange n’ensi.
I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
14 “Kale olunaatuukanga, bwe nnaaleetaanga ekire ku nsi, musoke anaalabikiranga ku bire,
And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,
15 ne nzijukira endagaano yange nammwe na buli kiramu; era amazzi tegakyaddayo kuzikiriza biramu.
And I will keep in mind the agreement between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flow of waters causing destruction to all flesh.
16 Musoke bw’anaabanga ku bire, nnaamutunuuliranga ne nzijukira endagaano eteriggwaawo eriwo wakati wa Katonda na buli kitonde ekiramu ekiri ku nsi.”
And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.
17 Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa nti, “Kano ke kabonero ak’endagaano gye ntaddewo wakati wange ne buli kiramu ekiri ku nsi.”
And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the agreement which I have made between me and all flesh on the earth.
18 Batabani ba Nuuwa abaava mu lyato ye Seemu, ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi. Kaamu ye yali kitaawe wa Kanani.
And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Bonna abasatu be baali batabani ba Nuuwa; era okuva mu bano ensi yonna yajjula abantu.
These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled.
20 Nuuwa n’atandika okulima n’asimba emizabbibu;
In those days Noah became a farmer, and he made a vine-garden.
21 n’anywa omwenge n’atamiira, ne yeebaka mu weema ng’ali bwereere.
And he took of the wine of it and was overcome by drink; and he was uncovered in his tent.
22 Kaamu kitaawe wa Kanani n’alaba obwereere bwa kitaawe, n’abuulirako baganda be ababiri abaali ebweru.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father unclothed, and gave news of it to his two brothers outside.
23 Awo ne bateeka olugoye ku bibegabega byabwe ne batambula ekyennyumannyuma, ne babikka ku bwereere bwa kitaabwe.
And Shem and Japheth took a robe, and putting it on their backs went in with their faces turned away, and put it over their father so that they might not see him unclothed.
24 Omwenge bwe gwamwamukako, Nuuwa n’azuukuka n’ategeera mutabani we omuto ky’amukoze.
And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,
25 N’akolimira ezzadde lya Kaamu n’agamba nti, “Kanani akolimirwe, abeere muddu wa baddu eri baganda be.”
Cursed be Canaan; let him be a servant of servants to his brothers.
26 Era n’agamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wange, awe Seemu omukisa, Kanani abeere muddu we.”
And he said, Praise to the Lord, the God of Shem; let Canaan be his servant.
27 Katonda yaza Yafeesi, abeere mu weema za Seemu, Kanani abeere muddu we.
May God make Japheth great, and let his living-place be in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.
28 Oluvannyuma lw’amataba Nuuwa yawangaala emyaka emirala ebikumi bisatu mu ataano.
And Noah went on living three hundred and fifty years after the great flow of waters;
29 Emyaka gyonna Nuuwa, gye yamala ku nsi ne giba lwenda mu amakumi ataano, n’afa.
all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end.
