1 Mose 9
1 Afei, Onyankopɔn hyiraa Noa ne ne mmammarima no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monwo, na monyɛ bebree nhyɛ asase so ma.
And God blessed Noah and his sonnes, and said to them, Bring foorth fruite, and multiplie, and replenish the earth.
2 Mo ho hu ne mo ho suro bɛtɔ mmoa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ne ewiem nnomaa nyinaa ne abɔdeɛ biara a wɔnam asase so ne nsuo mu mpataa nyinaa so. Wɔn nyinaa hyɛ mo nsa.
Also the feare of you, and the dread of you shalbe vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery foule of the heauen, vpon all that moueth on the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they deliuered.
3 Biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu, na ɛkeka ne ho no bɛyɛ mo aduane. Sɛdeɛ mede nhahammono hyɛɛ mo nsa no, afei deɛ, mede biribiara ma mo.
Euery thing that moueth and liueth, shall be meate for you: as the greene herbe, haue I giuen you all things.
4 “Nanso, ɛnsɛ sɛ mowe aboa a wɔntwaa ne mene mmaa ne mogya no nguiɛ no ɛnam.
But flesh with the life thereof, I meane, with the blood thereof, shall ye not eate.
5 Wo nkwa deɛ, deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, mɛbisa ho akontabuo. Onipa a ɔkum ne yɔnko onipa no, mɛbisa no ho asɛm. Mpo, aboa biara a ɔbɛkum onipa no, mewɔ saa aboa no nso asɛmmisa. Mɛbisa onipa kra ho asɛm.
For surely I will require your blood, wherein your liues are: at the hand of euery beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, euen at the hand of a mans brother will I require the life of man.
6 “Obiara a ɔhwie onipa mogya guo no, onipa so na wɔnam bɛhwie ɔno nso mogya aguo, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn no ara sɛso na ɔbɔɔ onipa.
Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man.
7 Mo deɛ, monwo, na monyɛ bebree. Mo ase mfɛe asase so, na monnɔɔso.”
But bring ye forth fruite and multiplie: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein.
8 Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa ne ne mmammarima a wɔka ne ho no sɛ,
God spake also to Noah and to his sonnes with him, saying,
9 “Ɛnnɛ, me ne mo ne mo asefoɔ a wɔbɛwo wɔn no
Behold, I, euen I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you,
10 ne abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a na wɔwɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ adaka no mu yɛ apam: nnomaa, nyɛmmoa ne wiram mmoa a wɔne mo firi adaka no mu no baeɛ nyinaa, ne abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a wɔwɔ asase so.
And with euery liuing creature that is with you, with the foule, with the cattell, and with euery beast of the earth with you, from all that goe out of the Arke, vnto euery beast of the earth.
11 Me ne mo yɛ mʼapam sɛ: Meremfa nsuyire nsɛe abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛwɔ asase so. Saa ara nso na meremfa nsuyire nsɛe asase bio da.”
And my couenant will I establish with you, that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by ye waters of the flood, neither shall there be a flood to destroy the earth any more.
12 Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Yei ne apam a me, Onyankopɔn, ne mo ne abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu biara a wɔka mo ho no ne nkyirimma nyinaa reyɛ no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ.
Then God saide, This is the token of the couenant which I make betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing, that is with you vnto perpetuall generations.
13 Mato me nyankontɔn wɔ omununkum mu. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛbɛda me ne asase ntam.
I haue set my bowe in the cloude, and it shalbe for a signe of the couenant betweene me and the earth.
14 Ɛberɛ biara a mede omununkum bɛba asase ani, na sɛ nyankontɔn pue wɔ omununkum no mu a,
And when I shall couer the earth with a cloud, and the bowe shall be seene in the cloude,
15 mɛkae mʼapam a ɛda me ne mo ne abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu ahodoɔ no nyinaa ntam. Nsuyire a ɛbɛsɛe abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu no nyinaa remma da biara da bio.
Then will I remember my couenant, which is betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing in all flesh, and there shalbe no more waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Ɛberɛ biara a nyankontɔn bɛto wɔ omununkum mu no, mɛhunu, na makae apam a ɛwɔ hɔ daa a ɛda me, Onyankopɔn, ne abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu ahodoɔ nyinaa a wɔwɔ asase yi so ntam no.”
Therefore the bowe shalbe in the cloude, that I may see it, and remember the euerlasting couenant betweene God, and euery liuing thing in all flesh that is vpon the earth.
17 Enti, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ, “Yei ne apam a me ne abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a, wɔwɔ asase yi so ayɛ no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ.”
God said yet to Noah, This is the signe of the couenant, which I haue established betweene me and all flesh that is vpon the earth.
18 Yeinom ne Noa mmammarima a wɔfiri adaka no mu baeɛ: Sem, Ham ne Yafet. Ham na ɔwoo Kanaan.
Nowe the sonnes of Noah going foorth of the Arke, were Shem and Ham and Iapheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Yeinom ne Noa mmammarima. Wɔn mu na nnipa a, wɔahwete wɔ asase so nyinaa firi baeɛ.
These are the three sonnes of Noah, and of them was the whole earth ouerspred.
20 Noa yɛ okuafoɔ a ɔdii ɛkan. Ɔyɛɛ bobefuo.
Noah also began to be an husband man and planted a vineyard.
21 Ɛda bi, ɔnom bobesa no bi boroeɛ, ma ɔdaa ne ntomadan mu adagya.
And he drunke of ye wine and was drunken, and was vncouered in the middes of his tent.
22 Ham a ɔwoo Kanaan no kɔtoo nʼagya Noa sɛ ɔda adagya. Ɔfirii hɔ no, ɔkɔbɔɔ ne nuammarima baanu no amaneɛ.
And when Ham the father of Canaan sawe the nakednesse of his father, he tolde his two brethren without.
23 Enti, Sem ne Yafet faa atadeɛ de guu wɔn mmati so, kɔɔ nkyirinkyire de kɔkataa wɔn agya adagya so. Na wɔn ani nkyerɛ wɔn agya enti, wɔanhunu nʼadagya mu.
Then tooke Shem and Iapheth a garment, and put it vpon both their shoulders, and went backwarde, and couered the nakednesse of their father with their faces backwarde: so they sawe not their fathers nakednesse.
24 Ɛberɛ a Noa ani so tetee no, na ɔhunuu deɛ ne kaakyire no ayɛ no,
Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him,
25 ɔkaa sɛ, “Nnome nka Ham asefoɔ a wɔyɛ Kanaanfoɔ. Wɔbɛyɛ wɔn nuanom mu nkoa mu nkoa.”
And said, Cursed be Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall he be vnto his brethren.
26 Noa kaa bio sɛ, “Me nhyira a ɛfiri Awurade, me Onyankopɔn, nkyɛn no nka Sem! Kanaan nyɛ Sem akoa.
He said moreouer, blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
27 Onyankopɔn ntrɛ Yafet ase ne nʼasase mu. Yafet ntena Sem ntomadan mu, na Kanaan nyɛ nʼakoa.”
God perswade Iapheth, that he may dwell in the tentes of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
28 Nsuyire no akyiri no, Noa tenaa ase mfeɛ ahasa ne aduonum.
And Noah liued after the flood three hundreth and fiftie yeeres.
29 Noa dii mfeɛ aha nkron ne aduonum, ansa na ɔrewu.
So all the dayes of Noah were nine hundreth and fiftie yeeres: and he died.
