< Kenehi 9 >

1 Na ka manaakitia a Noa ratou ko ana tama e te Atua. I mea ia ki a ratou, Kia hua, kia tini koutou, kia kapi ano hoki te whenua i a koutou.
And Elohim blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 A ko to koutou wehi, ko to koutou whakamataku, ka tau ki runga ki nga kirehe katoa o te whenua, ki nga manu katoa o te rangi, ki nga mea katoa e ngahue ana i runga i te whenua, ki nga ika katoa ano hoki o te moana; kua hoatu ena mea ki to koutou ringa.
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Hei kai ma koutou nga mea korikori katoa, nga mea ora; rite tonu ki taku hoatutanga i nga otaota matomato taku hoatutanga i nga mea katoa ki a koutou.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 Otiia kaua e kainga e koutou te kikokiko me tona ora, ara ko ona toto.
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 Na ko o koutou toto, ko te toto e ora nei koutou, he pono ka rapua e ahau he utu; ka rapua e ahau he utu i nga kirehe katoa; i te tangata ano hoki, ka rapua e ahau he utu mo te matenga o te tangata i te teina o ia tangata, o ia tangata.
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Ko ia e whakaheke i nga toto o te tangata, ma te tangata ano ona toto e whakaheke: no te Atua hoki te ahua i hanga ai e ia te tangata.
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of Elohim made he man.
7 A ko koutou, kia hua, kia tini; kia nui to koutou uri ki runga kite whenua, kia tini hoki ki reira.
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 A i korero te Atua ki a Noa ratou ko ana tama, i mea,
And Elohim spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 Ko ahau nei, nana, ka whakapumau ahau i taku kawenata ki a koutou, ki to koutou uri i muri i a koutou;
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 Ki nga mea ora katoa hoki i a koutou, ki te manu, ki te kararehe, ki nga kirehe katoa hoki o te whenua e noho ana i a koutou; ki nga mea katoa i puta mai i roto i te aaka, puta noa ki nga kirehe katoa o te whenua.
And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 A ka whakapumautia e ahau taku kawenata ki a koutou; e kore e hatepea atu nga kikokiko katoa a muri ake nei e nga wai o te waipuke; e kore ano e puta mai he waipuke a muri ake nei hei whakangaro mo te whenua.
And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 Ka mea te Atua, Ko te tohu tenei o te kawenata, e whakatakotoria nei e ahau ki waenganui oku, o koutou tae atu ki nga mea ora katoa i a koutou, mo nga whakatupuranga mutungakore:
And Elohim 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 Ka whakatakotoria e ahau taku kopere ki te kapua, a ka waiho hei tohu mo te kawenata i waenganui oku, o te whenua.
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 Tenei ake ano, i te wa e whakaputa ai ahau i te kapua ki runga ki te whenua, ka kitea te kopere i te kapua:
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 A ka mahara ahau ki taku kawenata i waenganui oku, o koutou me nga mea ora katoa, ara nga kikokiko katoa; e kore nga wai e pupuke a muri ake nei hei whakangaro i nga kikokiko katoa.
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 A ka piri te kopere ki te kapua; a ka titiro atu ahau ki taua mea, kia mahara ai ahau ki te kawenata mau tonu i waenganui o te Atua, o nga wairua ora katoa o nga kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between Elohim and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 Na ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, Ko te tohu tenei o te kawenata e whakapumautia nei e ahau ki waenganui oku, o nga kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.
And Elohim said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 Na ko nga tama a Noa, i puta mai nei i roto i te aaka, ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta: a ko Hama te matua o Kanaana.
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Ko nga tama tokotoru enei a Noa: a na enei i kapi ai te whenua katoa.
These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 Na ka timata a Noa te ngaki whenua, a whakatokia ana e ia he mara waina:
And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 A ka inumia e ia te waina, ka haurangi; na ka takoto tahanga i roto i tona teneti.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 A, i te kitenga o Hama, o te matua o Kanaana, i tona matua e takoto tahanga ana, ka korerotia e ia ki ona tuakana tokorua i waho.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 Na ka tango a Hema raua ko Iapeta i tetahi kakahu, maka iho e raua ki runga ki o raua pokohiwi, na ka haere whakatuara atu raua, a hipokina ana te wahi takoto kau o to raua papa; me te ahu ano o raua kanohi ki muri, a kihai raua i kite i te wahi takoto kau o to raua papa.
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 Na ka maranga ake a Noa i tana waina, ka mohio ki ta tana potiki i mea ai ki a ia.
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 Na ka mea ia, Ka kanga a Kanaana, ka waiho ia hei tino pononga ma ona tuakana.
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 I mea ano ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Hema; a ka waiho a Kanaana hei pononga mana.
And he said, Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 Ka meinga a Iapeta e te Atua kia tohatoha noa atu, kia noho hoki ia ki nga teneti o Hema; a hei pononga a Kanaana mana.
Elohim shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 A e toru rau e rima tekau nga tau i ora ai a Noa i muri i te waipuke.
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 A ko nga ra katoa o Noa e iwa rau e rima tekau tau: a ka mate ia.
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
