Genesisy 9
1 Nitatan’Añahare t’i Nòake naho o ana-dahi’eo ami’ty hoe: Mitomboa naho mangetseketseha vaho liforo ty tane toy.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth!
2 Le amy ze kila biby ambone’ ty tane toy naho amy ze voron-tioke naho amy ze mpisitsitse an-tane atoy, vaho amy ze fiañe an-driak’ ao ty fihembañañe naho ty firevendreveñañe ama’ nahareo, fa natolotse am-pità’ areo.
All animals will be very afraid of you—this includes all the birds, all the creatures that run along the ground, and all the fish in the sea. You are in charge of them.
3 Ho fikama’ areo ze hene raha veloñe; manahake ty nanolorako anahareo o ahetse maindoñindoñeo ty anolorako ze satan’ Añahare.
Every living creature that moves will be food for you, as well as all the green plants.
4 Fe tsy ho kamae’ areo ze nofotse reketse ty havelo’e—i lio’ey.
But do not eat meat with the lifeblood still in it.
5 Toe ho paiaeko an-taña’ ze fonga biby naho am-pità’ondaty naho am-pitàn-drahalahi’ ondaty ty lio’areo, ty havelo’areo. Ho paiako ty fiai’indatiy.
If your blood is shed by any animal, I will call it to account; and if your blood is shed by any person, I will call that person to account.
6 Ze mampiori-dio ondaty, Le hampiorihe’ondaty ka ty lio’e. Fa ami’ty vintan’Añahare ty nitseneañe ondatio.
Whoever sheds the blood of a human being will have their blood shed by human beings. For God made human beings in his image.
7 Aa le mahavokara vaho mangetseketseha, miraoraòa an-tane atoy vaho mihamaroa ama’e.
Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
8 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Nòake naho amo ana-dahi’e nindre ama’eo:
Then God told Noah and his sons who were there with him,
9 Ingo te mañori-pañina ama’areo naho amo tarira’areo hanonjohio iraho,
“Listen, I'm making my agreement with you and your descendants,
10 naho amy ze kila raha veloñe mindre ama’areo, o voroñeo, o hareo, naho ze fonga bibi’ ty tane toy, ze niakatse i lakam-poloaiy, ze kila’ bibi’ ty tane toy.
and with all the animals around you—the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals of the earth—every animal that accompanied you on the ark.
11 Horizako ama’areo ty fañinako te tsy hampaitoeñe an-drano fiempoempoañe ka ze kila nofotse, vaho tsy ho rotsahe’ ty fiempoempoan-drano ka ty tane toy.
In my agreement I'm promising you that I won't ever again destroy all life by means of a flood—there won't be a destructive flood like this again.”
12 Hoe t’i Andrianañahare, Zao ty vilo’ ty fañina ifañinàko ama’areo naho amo kila raha veloñe mindre ama’ areoo pak’amy ze hene tariratse añe:
Then God said, “I'm going to give you a sign to confirm the agreement I'm making between me and you and all living creatures, an agreement that will last for all generations.
13 Ho reketeko amo rahoñeo ty àvako ho vilo’ ty fañinako ami’ty tane toy.
I've placed my rainbow in the clouds, and this will be the sign of my agreement with you and with all life on earth.
14 Ie ampandrahoñeko ty ambone’ ty tane toy, le hiboak’ amo rahoñeo i avañey
Whenever I make clouds form over the earth and the rainbow appears,
15 le ho tiahiko i fañinako ama’ areo naho amo raha veloñe ama’ nofotse iabioy; vaho tsy ho empoempoe’ o ranoo ka ze hene nofotse handrotsake aze.
it will remind me of my agreement between me and you and every kind of living creature that floodwaters won't ever again destroy all life.
16 Ie amo rahoñeo i avañey, le ho treako vaho ho tiahiko i fañina tsy ho modo añivon’ Añahare naho ze hene raha veloñe ama’ nofotse an-tane atoiy.
I will see the rainbow in the clouds and it will remind me of the eternal agreement between God and every kind of living creature that lives on the earth.”
17 Hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Nòake, izay ty ho vilo’ i fañina norizeko añivo’ Ahy naho ze kila nofotse an-tane atoiy.
Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.”
18 O ana’ i Nòake niakatse i lakam-poloaio, le i Seme naho i Kame vaho Ièfete. Rae’ i Kanàne t’i Kame.
Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.)
19 I telo rey ro ana-dahi’ i Nòake; le boak’ am’ iereo ty nanitsihañe ty tane toy.
All the people who are spread over the world are descended from these three sons of Noah.
20 Niorotse niava tane t’i Nòake vaho nambole valoboke.
Noah started to cultivate the ground as a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
21 Ie nikama ty divai’e le nimamo vaho tsy aman-tsaroñe t’ie an-kiboho’e ao.
He drank some of the wine he'd produced, got drunk, and fell asleep in his tent, naked.
22 Nizoe’ i Kame, rae’ i Kanàne, ty fihalon-drae’e le vinola’e ty rahalahi’e roe alafe ao.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's private parts and went and told his two brothers who were outside.
23 Aa le rinambe’ i Seme naho Ièfete ty lamba, le nasampe an-tsoro’ iareo roe le nidisa-voly nanaroñe ty fihalon-drae’e; nitolike ty lahara’iareo tsy nahatrea i fihaloa’ey.
Shem and Japheth picked up a cloak and, holding it over their shoulders, walked in backwards and covered up their father's privates. They made sure to look the other way so they wouldn't see their father's privates.
24 Ie nivañoñe amy divai’ey t’i Nòake naho nahafohiñe i nanoa’ i ana-tsitso’ey,
When Noah woke up from his drunken sleep, he discovered what his youngest son had done,
25 le hoe re, Afàtse t’i Kanàne fa ho mpitorom-pitoroñe amo roahalahi’eo. Hoe ka re,
and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
26 Rengèñe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Seme, fa ho mpitoro’e t’i Kanàne.
Then Noah continued, “May the Lord be blessed, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.
27 Hampientaren’Añahare t’Ièfete, ie himoneñe an-kiboho’ i Seme, vaho ho mpitoro’e t’i Kanàne.
May God give Japtheth plenty of space to accommodate his many descendants, and may they live at peace among Shem's people, and may Canaan also be his slave.”
28 Niveloñe telon-jato tsy limampolo taoñe tafara’ i fiempoempoañey t’i Nòake.
Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood.
29 Nañeneke sivan-jato-tsi-limampolo taoñe ty hene andro’ i Nòake, vaho nihomake. Izay ty fanoñona’ o ana’ i Nòakeo
Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
