1 Mose 9
1 Afei, Onyankopɔn hyiraa Noa ne ne mmabarima no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monwo, na monyɛ bebree nhyɛ asase so ma.
And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.
2 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.
And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your power.
3 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.
And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.
4 “Nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ mowe aboa a wontwaa ne mene mmaa ne mogya no ngui no nam.
But flesh with blood of life you shall not eat.
5 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.
For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of [his] brother man.
6 “Obiara a ohwie onipa mogya gu no, onipa so na wɔnam behwie ɔno nso mogya agu, efisɛ Onyankopɔn no ara sɛso na ɔbɔɔ onipa.
He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man.
7 Mo de, monwo, na monyɛ bebree. Mo ase mfɛe wɔ asase so, na monnɔɔso.”
But do you increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.
8 Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa ne ne mmabarima a wɔka ne ho no se,
And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Nnɛ, me ne mo ne mo asefo a wɔbɛwo wɔn no
And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
10 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.
and with every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark.
11 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.”
And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth.
12 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.
And the Lord God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations.
13 Mato me nyankontɔn wɔ omununkum mu. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛbɛda me ne asase ntam.
I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth.
14 Bere biara a mede omununkum bɛba asase ani, na sɛ nyankontɔn pue wɔ omununkum no mu a,
And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud.
15 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.
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh.
16 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.”
And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between [every] living soul in all flesh, which is upon the earth.
17 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.”
And God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.
18 Eyinom ne Noa mmabarima a wofi Adaka no mu bae: Sem, Ham ne Yafet. Ham na ɔwoo Kanaan.
Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan.
19 Eyinom ne Noa mmabarima. Wɔn mu na nnipa a wɔahwete wɔ asase so nyinaa fi bae.
These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth.
20 Noa yɛ okuafo a odii kan. Ɔyɛɛ bobeturo.
And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
21 Da bi, ɔnom bobesa no bi bow ma ɔdaa ne ntamadan mu adagyaw.
And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house.
22 Ham a ɔwoo Kanaan no kɔtoo nʼagya Noa sɛ ɔda adagyaw. Ofii hɔ no, ɔkɔbɔɔ ne nuabarimanom baanu no amanneɛ.
And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without.
23 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.
And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face [was] backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father.
24 Bere a Noa ani so tetew no, na ohuu sɛnea ne kaakyiri no ayɛ no,
And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him.
25 ɔkae se, “Nnome nka Ham asefo a wɔyɛ Kanaanfo. Wɔbɛyɛ wɔn nuanom mu nkoa mu nkoa.”
And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren.
26 Noa kaa bio se, “Me nhyira a efi Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, nkyɛn no nka Sem! Kanaan nyɛ Sem akoa.
And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant.
27 Onyankopɔn ntrɛw Yafet ase ne nʼasase mu. Yafet ntena Sem ntamadan mu, na Kanaan nyɛ nʼakoa.”
May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant.
28 Nsuyiri no akyi no, Noa tenaa ase mfe ahaasa ne aduonum.
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 Noa dii mfe ahankron ne aduonum, ansa na ɔrewu.
And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
