Senesi 9
1 Pea naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Noa mo hono ngaahi foha, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou tupu, mo fakatokolahi, pea fakakakai ʻa māmani.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 Pea ʻe ʻi he fanga manu kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻae manavahē mo e ilifia kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻi he fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he fonua, pea ki he ngaahi ika kotoa pē ʻoe tahi; kuo tuku kotoa pē ki homou nima.
The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
3 Ko e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue, ko hoʻo mou meʻakai ia; ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau mata kuo u foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
4 Ka ko e kakano ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae moʻui, [ʻaia ]ko hono toto, ʻe ʻikai te mou kai ia.
But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
5 He ko e moʻoni, teu ʻekeʻi ʻae toto ʻa hoʻomou moʻui; teu ʻekeʻi ia ʻi he nima ʻoe fanga manu kotoa pē; pea mei he nima ʻoe tangata; teu ʻekeʻi ʻae moʻui ʻae tangata mei he nima ʻoe kāinga ʻoe tangata kotoa pē.
I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
6 Ko ia ʻoku lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe tangata, ʻe lilingi hono toto ʻe he tangata: he naʻe ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi he tatau ʻoe ʻOtua.
Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
7 Pea ko kimoutolu, ke mou tupu, pea fakatokolahi mo fanafanau lahi ʻi he fonua, pea tupu ke tokolahi ʻi ai.”
Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē,
God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Vakai, ko au, ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava kiate kimoutolu, mo homou hako ʻe tupu fakaholo;
“As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10 Pea ki he ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻae fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu lalata, mo e fanga manu vao kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu; ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu atu mei he vaka, pea mo e fanga manu vao kotoa pē ʻe ʻi he fonua.
and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
11 Pea te u fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava mo kimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻikai toe motuhi ʻae kakano kotoa pē ʻe he ngaahi vai ʻo ha lōmaki; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha lōmaki ke fakaʻauha ʻa māmani.”
I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, “Ko eni ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe fuakava kuo u fai mo kimoutolu mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ki he ngaahi toʻutangata taʻetuku:
God 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 ʻOku ou ai ʻeku ʻumata ʻi he ʻao, pea ʻe fakaʻilonga ʻaki ia ʻae fuakava ʻiate au mo māmani.”
I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 Pea ʻe pehē, “O kau ka ʻomi ʻae ʻao ki he fonua, ʻe hā mai ʻae ʻumata ʻi he ʻao:
When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 Pea te u manatu ki heʻeku fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fai mo kimoutolu mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē; pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ʻae ngaahi vai, ko e lōmaki ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakano kotoa pē.
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 Pea ʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻae ʻumata; pea te u vakai ki ai, koeʻuhi ke u manatu ki he fuakava taʻengata ʻae ʻOtua mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17 Pea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Noa, “Ko eni ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻiate au mo e kakano kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
18 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Noa, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu mei he vaka, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti: pea ko Hami ko e tamai ʻa Kēnani.
The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Ko eni ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo Noa pea naʻe fakakakai ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻiate kinautolu.
These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20 Pea naʻe kamata ʻa Noa ke tauhi ngoue, pea ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine:
Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
21 Pea inu ʻe ia ʻi he uaine, pea kona ai: pea naʻe telefua ia ʻi hono fale fehikitaki.
He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22 Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Hami, ko e tamai ʻa Kēnani, ki he telefua ʻo ʻene tamai, pea tala ʻe ia ki hono ongo tokoua ʻituʻa.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Semi mo Sefeti ʻae kofu, pea na ai ia ki hona uma, pea naʻa na fakaholomui, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻae telefua ʻo ʻena tamai, pea naʻe hanga kimui hona mata, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata ʻekinaua ki he telefua ʻo ʻena tamai.
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 backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
24 Pea naʻe ʻā ʻa Noa mei heʻene uaine, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe fai kiate ia ʻe hono foha kimui.
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke malaʻia ʻa Kēnani. ʻE hoko ia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ki hono kāinga.”
He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke monūʻia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo Semi; pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kēnani ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27 E fakalahi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sefeti, pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Semi; pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kēnani ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.”
May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
28 Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Noa hili ʻae lōmaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungeau ma nimangofulu.
Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
29 Pea naʻe hivangeau ma nimangofulu taʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Noa: pea pekia ia.
All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
