UGenesisi 9
1 UNkulunkulu wasebusisa uNowa lamadodana akhe, wathi kibo: Zalani lande ligcwalise umhlaba.
Afei, Onyankopɔn hyiraa Noa ne ne mmabarima no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monwo, na monyɛ bebree nhyɛ asase so ma.
2 Lokwesatshwa kwenu lokuqhuqhwa kwenu kuzakuba phezu kwayo yonke inyamazana yomhlaba laphezu kwayo yonke inyoni yamazulu; kukho konke okuhamba emhlabeni lakuzo zonke inhlanzi zolwandle; zinikelwe ezandleni zenu.
Mo ho hu ne mo ho suro bɛtɔ mmoa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ne wim nnomaa nyinaa ne abɔde a wɔwɔ asase so ne nsu mu mpataa nyinaa so. Wɔn nyinaa hyɛ mo nsa.
3 Konke okuhambayo okuphilayo kuzakuba yikudla kini; njengombhida oluhlaza ngilinikile konke.
Biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu, na ɛkeka ne ho no bɛyɛ mo aduan. Sɛnea mede nhabammono hyɛɛ mo nsa no, afei de, mede biribiara ma mo.
4 Kodwa inyama lempilo yayo, igazi layo, kalisoze likudle.
“Nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ mowe aboa a wontwaa ne mene mmaa ne mogya no ngui no nam.
5 Njalo sibili, igazi lenu, elempilo yenu, ngizalibiza; esandleni sayo yonke inyamazana ngizalibiza; lesandleni somuntu, lesandleni somfowabo womunye lomunye ngizabiza umphefumulo womuntu.
Na wo nkwa de, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, mebisa ho akontaabu. Onipa a okum ne yɔnko nipa no, mebisa no ho asɛm. Mpo, aboa biara a obekum onipa no, mewɔ saa aboa no nso asɛmmisa. Mebisa onipa kra ho asɛm.
6 Ochitha igazi lomuntu, ngomuntu lizachithwa igazi lakhe; ngoba ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu wamenza umuntu.
“Obiara a ohwie onipa mogya gu no, onipa so na wɔnam behwie ɔno nso mogya agu, efisɛ Onyankopɔn no ara sɛso na ɔbɔɔ onipa.
7 Ngakho lina, zalani, lande, lizale ngokwengezelelweyo emhlabeni, lande kuwo.
Mo de, monwo, na monyɛ bebree. Mo ase mfɛe wɔ asase so, na monnɔɔso.”
8 UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kuNowa lakumadodana akhe kanye laye, esithi:
Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa ne ne mmabarima a wɔka ne ho no se,
9 Mina-ke, khangelani, ngiyamisa isivumelwano sami lani lenzalo yenu emva kwenu,
“Nnɛ, me ne mo ne mo asefo a wɔbɛwo wɔn no
10 laso sonke isidalwa esiphilayo esilani, esenyoni lesesifuyo, lesayo yonke inyamazana yomhlaba lani; kusukela kubo bonke abaphume emkhunjini, kusiya kuyo yonke inyamazana yomhlaba.
ne abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a na wɔwɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ Adaka no mu yɛ apam: nnomaa, nyɛmmoa ne wuram mmoa a wɔne mo fi Adaka no mu bae no nyinaa, ne abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a wɔwɔ asase so.
11 Njalo ngizamisa isivumelwano sami lani; njalo kakusayikubhujiswa yonke inyama ngamanzi kazamcolo; ukuze kungasabi khona uzamcolo ukubhubhisa umhlaba.
Me ne mo yɛ mʼapam sɛ: Meremfa nsuyiri nsɛe abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛwɔ asase so. Saa ara nso na meremfa nsuyiri nsɛe asase bio da.”
12 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Lokhu kuyisibonakaliso sesivumelwano engisinika phakathi kwami lani laso sonke isidalwa esiphilayo esilani, kuze kube yizizukulwana laphakade.
Na Onyankopɔn kae se, “Eyi ne apam a me, Onyankopɔn, ne mo ne abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu biara a wɔka mo ho no ne nkyirimma nyinaa reyɛ no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne.
13 Ngizamisa umchilowamakhosikazi wami emayezini; uzakuba yisibonakaliso sesivumelwano phakathi kwami lomhlaba.
Mato me nyankontɔn wɔ omununkum mu. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛbɛda me ne asase ntam.
14 Kuzakuthi nxa ngibuyisa amayezi phezu komhlaba, umchilowamakhosikazi uzabonwa eyezini;
Bere biara a mede omununkum bɛba asase ani, na sɛ nyankontɔn pue wɔ omununkum no mu a,
15 khona ngizakhumbula isivumelwano sami, esiphakathi kwami lani laso sonke isidalwa esiphilayo sayo yonke inyama; lamanzi kawasayikuba nguzamcolo ukubhubhisa yonke inyama.
mɛkae mʼapam a ɛda me ne mo ne abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu ahorow no nyinaa ntam. Nsuyiri a ɛbɛsɛe abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu no nyinaa remma da biara da bio.
16 Lomchilowamakhosikazi uzakuba semayezini, njalo ngizawubona ukukhumbula isivumelwano esilaphakade phakathi kukaNkulunkulu laso sonke isidalwa esiphilayo, sayo yonke inyama esemhlabeni.
Bere biara a nyankontɔn bɛto wɔ omununkum mu no, mehu na makae apam a ɛwɔ hɔ daa a ɛda me, Onyankopɔn, ne abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu ahorow nyinaa a wɔwɔ asase yi so no ntam no.”
17 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuNowa: Lokhu kuyisibonakaliso sesivumelwano engisimise phakathi kwami layo yonke inyama esemhlabeni.
Enti Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa se, “Eyi ne apam a me ne abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a wɔwɔ asase yi so ayɛ no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne.”
18 Amadodana kaNowa aphumayo-ke emkhunjini ayengoShemu loHamu loJafethi; njalo uHamu nguyise kaKhanani.
Eyinom ne Noa mmabarima a wofi Adaka no mu bae: Sem, Ham ne Yafet. Ham na ɔwoo Kanaan.
19 Laba bobathathu ngamadodana kaNowa; lomhlaba wonke wasatshalaliswa ngokuvela kubo.
Eyinom ne Noa mmabarima. Wɔn mu na nnipa a wɔahwete wɔ asase so nyinaa fi bae.
20 UNowa waseqala ukuba ngumlimi, wahlanyela isivini.
Noa yɛ okuafo a odii kan. Ɔyɛɛ bobeturo.
21 Wasenatha okwewayini, wadakwa; njalo waba nqunu phakathi kwethente lakhe.
Da bi, ɔnom bobesa no bi bow ma ɔdaa ne ntamadan mu adagyaw.
22 UHamu, uyise kaKhanani, wasebona ubunqunu bukayise, wasetshela abafowabo ababili phandle.
Ham a ɔwoo Kanaan no kɔtoo nʼagya Noa sɛ ɔda adagyaw. Ofii hɔ no, ɔkɔbɔɔ ne nuabarimanom baanu no amanneɛ.
23 OShemu loJafethi basebethatha isembatho, basibeka emahlombe abo bobabili, bahamba nyovane, bagubuzela ubunqunu bukayise; lobuso babo babusemuva ukuze bangaboni ubunqunu bukayise.
Enti Sem ne Yafet faa atade de guu wɔn mmati so, kɔɔ nkyirinkyiri de kɔkataa wɔn agya adagyaw so. Na wɔn ani nkyerɛ wɔn agya nti, wɔanhu nʼadagyaw mu.
24 UNowa wasevuka ewayinini lakhe, wakwazi lokho indodana yakhe encinyane ekwenze kuye.
Bere a Noa ani so tetew no, na ohuu sɛnea ne kaakyiri no ayɛ no,
25 Wasesithi: Kaqalekiswe uKhanani, uzakuba yisigqili sezigqili kubafowabo.
ɔkae se, “Nnome nka Ham asefo a wɔyɛ Kanaanfo. Wɔbɛyɛ wɔn nuanom mu nkoa mu nkoa.”
26 Wasesithi: Ibusisiwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaShemu, loKhanani abe yisigqili sakhe.
Noa kaa bio se, “Me nhyira a efi Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, nkyɛn no nka Sem! Kanaan nyɛ Sem akoa.
27 UNkulunkulu amqhelise uJafethi, njalo ahlale emathenteni kaShemu, loKhanani abe yisigqili sakhe.
Onyankopɔn ntrɛw Yafet ase ne nʼasase mu. Yafet ntena Sem ntamadan mu, na Kanaan nyɛ nʼakoa.”
28 Emva kukazamcolo uNowa wasephila iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amahlanu.
Nsuyiri no akyi no, Noa tenaa ase mfe ahaasa ne aduonum.
29 Zonke-ke insuku zikaNowa zaba yiminyaka engamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye lamatshumi amahlanu; wasesifa.
Noa dii mfe ahankron ne aduonum, ansa na ɔrewu.
