उत्पत्ति 9
1 त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले नोआ र तिनका छोराहरूलाई आशिष् दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “फल्दै-फुल्दै, वृद्धि हुँदै र पृथ्वीमा भरिँदै जाओ ।
God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth!
2 जमिनमा चलहल गर्ने हरेक जीवित प्राणी, आकाशका हरेक पक्षी, जमिनमा घस्रने हरेक जन्तु र समुद्रका सबै माछामाथि तिमीहरूको डर र त्रास रहनेछ । ती तिमीहरूका हातमा सुम्पिएका छन् ।
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 हरेक चलहल गर्ने प्राणी तिमीहरूका निम्ति भोजन हुनेछन् । मैले तिमीहरूलाई हरिया वनस्पतिहरू दिएजस्तै अब म तिमीहरूलाई सबै थोक दिन्छु ।
Every living creature that moves will be food for you, as well as all the green plants.
4 तर तिमीहरूले मासु त्यसको प्राण दिने रगतसमेत नखाओ ।
But do not eat meat with the lifeblood still in it.
5 तर तिमीहरूको प्राण दिने रगतको साटो म लेखा लिनेछु । हरेक पशुबाट म प्राणको साटो लिनेछु । आफ्नो भाइको हत्या गर्ने हरेक मानिसको हातबाट म त्यस मानिसको प्राणको साटो लिनेछु ।
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 जसले मानिसको रगत बगाउँछ मानिसद्वारा नै त्यसको रगत बगाइनेछ, किनकि परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई आफ्नै स्वरूपमा बनाउनुभयो ।
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 तिमीहरूचाहिँ पृथ्वीमा फल्दै-फुल्दै, वृद्धि हुँदै, फैलँदै जाओ ।”
Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth—have many descendants!”
8 त्यसपछि परमेश्वरले नोआ र तिनका छोराहरूलाई यसो भन्नुभयो,
Then God told Noah and his sons who were there with him,
9 “मेरो कुरा सुन! तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूपछि आउने तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरू, तिमीहरूसँगै भएका हरेक जीवित प्राणी अर्थात्
“Listen, I'm making my agreement with you and your descendants,
10 पक्षीहरू, पालिने पशुहरू र जहाजबाट बाहिर आउनेदेखि पृथ्वीमा भएका हरेक जीवित प्राणीसित म मेरो करार स्थापित गर्दै छु ।
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 जलप्रलयको पानीद्वारा फेरि सबै प्राणी नष्ट गरिनेछैनन् भनी म मेरो करार तिमीहरूसित स्थापित गर्दछु । पृथ्वीलाई सर्वनाश गर्ने जलप्रलय फेरि कहिल्यै आउनेछैन ।
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 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पुस्तौँको निम्ति मेरो र तिमीहरूसाथै हरेक जीवित प्राणीसित मैले जुन करार बाँध्दै छु, त्यसको चिन्ह यही हुन्छ
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 कि मैले बादलमा इन्द्रेणी राखेको छु, र यो मेरो र पृथ्वीको बिचमा करारको चिन्ह हुनेछ ।
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 मैले पृथ्वीमाथि बादल फिँजाउँदा जब इन्द्रेणी देखा पर्छ
Whenever I make clouds form over the earth and the rainbow appears,
15 तब म मेरो करारलाई सम्झनेछु जुन करार मेरो र तिमीहरूसाथै हरेक जीवित प्राणीको बिचमा बाँधिएको छ । जलप्रलयले फेरि कहिल्यै सबै प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछैन ।
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 परमेश्वर र पृथ्वीमा रहेका सबै जीवित प्राणीबिच बाँधिएको नित्य रहिरहने कराको सम्झना गर्नलाई म बादलमा देखा पर्ने इन्द्रेणीलाई हेर्नेछु ।”
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 तब परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो र पृथ्वीमा भएका सबै जीवित प्राणीको बिचमा मैले स्थापित गरेको करारको चिन्ह यही हो ।”
Then God told Noah, “This is the sign of the agreement I'm making between me and every creature on earth.”
18 जहाजबाट बाहिर निस्केर आएका नोआका छोराहरू शेम, हाम र येपेत थिए । हाम कनानका पिता थिए ।
Noah's sons who left the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaanites.)
19 यी तिन जना नोआका छोराहरू थिए, र यिनीहरूबाट नै समस्त पृथ्वी भरियो ।
All the people who are spread over the world are descended from these three sons of Noah.
20 नोआ किसान हुन लागे, र तिनले दाखबारी लगाए ।
Noah started to cultivate the ground as a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
21 दाखमद्य पिएर तिनी मात्तिए । तिनी आफ्नो पालमा नाङ्गै पल्टिरहेका थिए ।
He drank some of the wine he'd produced, got drunk, and fell asleep in his tent, naked.
22 तब कनानका पिता हामले आफ्ना पिताको नाङ्गोपन देखे र बाहिर आएर दुवै दाजुलाई बताइदिए ।
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's private parts and went and told his two brothers who were outside.
23 त्यसैले, शेम र येपेतले एउटा लबेदा लिएर त्यसलाई काँधमा हाले अनि पछिल्तिर सर्दै गएर तिनीहरूका पिताको नाङ्गोपन ढाकिदिए । तिनीहरूको अनुहार अर्कोपट्टि फर्केकाले तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पिताको नाङ्गोपन देखेनन् ।
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 नोआ आफ्नो मद्यको लतबाट उठेपछि तिनका कान्छा छोराले तिनलाई के गरेका थिए भनी तिनलाई थाहा भयो ।
When Noah woke up from his drunken sleep, he discovered what his youngest son had done,
25 त्यसैले तिनले भने, “श्रापित होस् कनान । त्यो आफ्ना दाजुहरूका कमाराहरूका पनि कमारा होस् ।”
and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
26 तिनले यसो पनि भने, “शेमका परमेश्वर यहोवे धन्यका होऊन्, र कनान त्यसको कमारो होस् ।
Then Noah continued, “May the Lord be blessed, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.
27 परमेश्वरले येपेतको क्षेत्र वृद्धि गर्नुभएको होस् र त्यसले शेमका पालहरूमा बास गरून् । कनान त्यसका कमारा होस् ।”
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 जलप्रलयपछि नोआ तिन सय पचास वर्ष बाँचे ।
Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood.
29 नोआको जम्मा उमेर नौ सय पचास वर्ष भयो, अनि तिनी मरे
Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
