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.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill 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 will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are given.
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 lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 Otiia kaua e kainga e koutou te kikokiko me tona ora, ara ko ona toto.
But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall 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 I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
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.
Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
7 A ko koutou, kia hua, kia tini; kia nui to koutou uri ki runga kite whenua, kia tini hoki ki reira.
And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."
8 A i korero te Atua ki a Noa ratou ko ana tama, i mea,
God spoke to 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 as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring 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: the flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
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.
I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again 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:
God said, "This is the sign 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 set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the 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:
It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will 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 will 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.
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh that is on 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.
God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on 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.
The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Ko nga tama tokotoru enei a Noa: a na enei i kapi ai te whenua katoa.
These were the three sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
20 Na ka timata a Noa te ngaki whenua, a whakatokia ana e ia he mara waina:
Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard.
21 A ka inumia e ia te waina, ka haurangi; na ka takoto tahanga i roto i tona teneti.
He drank of the wine and got drunk. 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 his father naked and told his two brothers outside.
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.
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, and they did not see 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.
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 Na ka mea ia, Ka kanga a Kanaana, ka waiho ia hei tino pononga ma ona tuakana.
He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
26 I mea ano ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Hema; a ka waiho a Kanaana hei pononga mana.
He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan 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.
May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."
28 A e toru rau e rima tekau nga tau i ora ai a Noa i muri i te waipuke.
Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
29 A ko nga ra katoa o Noa e iwa rau e rima tekau tau: a ka mate ia.
All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, then he died.
