Genesisy 9
1 Ary Andriamanitra nitso-drano an’ i Noa sy ny zanany hoe; Maroa fara sy mihabetsaha ary mamenoa ny tany.
And God blessed Noah and his sons. And he said to them: “Increase, and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 Ary ny tahotra sy horohoro anareo hahazo ny bibi-dia rehetra sy ny voro-manidina rehetra; ireny mbamin’ izay rehetra mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany sy ny hazandrano rehetra ao amin’ ny ranomasina dia efa natolotra eo an-tananareo.
And let the fear and trembling of you be upon all the animals of the earth, and upon all the birds of the air, along with all that moves across the earth. All the fish of the sea have been delivered into your hand.
3 Ny biby mihetsiketsika rehetra izay miaina dia ho fihinana ho anareo; dia efa nomeko anareo toy ny zava-maitso izy rehetra.
And everything that moves and lives will be food for you. Just as with the edible plants, I have delivered them all to you,
4 Kanefa ny nofo izay mbola misy aina dia ny ràny no aza haninareo.
except that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
5 Fa ny ranareo kosa dia hadiniko, satria ainareo izany; eo amin’ ny tanan’ ny manan’ aina rehetra no hanadinako azy; ary eo amin’ ny tanan’ ny olona, dia eo amin’ ny tanan’ ny olona avy, no hanadinako ny ain’ ny olona.
For I will examine the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast. So also, at the hand of mankind, at the hand of each man and his brother, I will examine the life of mankind.
6 Izay mandatsaka ny ran’ olona, dia mba halatsak’ olona kosa ny ràny, satria tahaka ny endrik’ Andriamanitra no nanaovany ny olona.
Whoever will shed human blood, his blood will be poured out. For man was indeed made to the image of God.
7 Koa ny aminareo, dia maroa fara sy mihabetsaha; miteraha be eny ambonin’ ny tany sy mihabetsaha eny.
But as for you: increase and multiply, and go forth upon the earth and fulfill it.”
8 Ary Andriamanitra niteny tamin’ i Noa sy tamin’ ny zanany, izay niaraka taminy, ka nanao hoe:
To Noah and to his sons with him, God also said this:
9 Indro, Izaho efa manorina ny fanekeko aminareo sy amin’ ny taranakareo mandimby anareo
“Behold, I will establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10 sy amin’ ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra eo aminareo, na ny vorona, na ny biby fiompy, na ny bibi-dia rehetra eo aminareo: izay rehetra nivoaka avy tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara, dia ny biby samy hafa rehetra.
and with every living soul that is with you: as much with the birds as with the cattle and all the animals of the earth that have gone forth from the ark, and with all the wild beasts of the earth.
11 Dia aoriko ny fanekeko aminareo, ka tsy haringako amin’ ny safo-drano intsony ny nofo rehetra, ary tsy hisy safo-drano hanimba ny tany intsony.
I will establish my covenant with you, and no longer will all that is flesh be put to death by the waters of a great flood, and, henceforth, there will not be a great flood to utterly destroy the earth.”
12 Ary hoy Andriamanitra: Izao no famantarana ny fanekena izay ataoko ho amiko sy ho aminareo mbamin’ ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra eo aminareo hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby:
And God said: “This is the sign of the pact that I grant between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
13 Ny avako efa napetrako eo amin’ ny rahona ho famantarana ny fanekena ho amiko sy ho amin’ ny tany.
I will place my arc in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the pact between myself and the earth.
14 Ary raha mampiangona rahona eo ambonin’ ny tany Aho, ka hita eo amin’ ny rahona ny avana,
And when I obscure the sky with clouds, my arc will appear in the clouds.
15 dia hotsarovako ny fanekeko izay ho amiko sy ho aminareo mbamin’ ny zava-manan’ aina, dia ny nofo rehetra; ary tsy hisy safo-drano, handringana ny nofo rehetra intsony.
And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that enlivens flesh. And there will no longer be waters from a great flood to wipe away all that is flesh.
16 Ary ho eo amin’ ny rahona ny avana; ary hitsinjo azy Aho hahatsiarovako ny fanekena mandrakizay izay ho amin’ Andriamanitra sy ho amin’ ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra, dia ny nofo rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
And the arc will be in the clouds, and I will see it, and I will remember the everlasting covenant that was enacted between God and every living soul of all that is flesh upon the earth.”
17 Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Noa: Izany no famantarana ny fanekena izay naoriko ho amiko sy ho amin’ ny nofo rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
And God said to Noah, “This will be the sign of the covenant that I have established between myself and all that is flesh upon the earth.”
18 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Noa izay izay nivoaka avy tamin’ ny sambo-fiara dia Sema sy Hama ary Jafeta; ary i Hama no rain’ i Kanana.
And so the sons of Noah, who came out of the ark, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now Ham himself is the father of Canaan.
19 Ireo telo lahy ireo no zanak’ i Noa; ary avy tamin’ ireo no nielezan’ ny olona tambonin’ ny tany rehetra.
These three are the sons of Noah. And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.
20 Ary vao tonga mpiasa tany Noa ka nanao tanim-boaloboka.
And Noah, a good farmer, began to cultivate the land, and he planted a vineyard.
21 Ary nisotro tamin’ ny divay izy ka mamo; dia nanary lamba izy ka nitanjaka tao anatin’ ny lainy.
And by drinking its wine, he became inebriated and was naked in his tent.
22 Ary hitan’ i Hama, rain’ i Kanana ny fitanjahan’ ny rainy, dia nambarany tamin’ ny rahalahiny roa lahy teo ivelany.
Because of this, when Ham, the father of Canaan, had indeed seen the privates of his father to be naked, he reported it to his two brothers outside.
23 Ary nalain’ i Sema sy Jafeta ny lamba ka nentin’ izy mirahalahy teo an-tsorony, dia nanao dia mianotra izy ka nandrakotra ny fitanjahan’ ny rainy; ary ny tavany tsy nanatrika, ka dia tsy hitany ny fitanjahan’ ny rainy.
And truly, Shem and Japheth put a cloak upon their arms, and, advancing backwards, covered the privates of their father. And their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s manhood.
24 Dia nahatsiaro Noa, rehefa afaka ny hamamoany, ka nahafantatra izay efa nataon’ ny zanany faralahy taminy.
Then Noah, awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
25 Dia hoy izy: Ho voaozona anie Kanana; Ho tena andevon’ ny rahalahiny izy.
he said, “Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants will he be to his brothers.”
26 Ary hoy koa izy: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Sema; Ary aoka Kanana ho andevony.
And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, let Canaan be his servant.
27 Hataon’ Andriamanitra malalaka anie Jafeta; Ary aoka honina ao an-dain’ i Sema izy; Ary aoka Kanana ho andevony.
May God enlarge Japheth, and may he live in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.”
28 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Noa taorian’ ny safo-drano dia dimam-polo amby telon-jato taona.
And after the great flood, Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years.
29 Ary ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Noa dia dimam-polo amby sivin-jato taona; dia maty izy.
And all his days were completed in nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.
