< Genesis 9 >

1 Ọlọ́run sì súre fún Noa àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ wí pé, “Ẹ máa bí sí i, kí ẹ sì pọ̀ ní iye, kí ẹ sì kún ayé.
And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 Ẹ̀rù yín yóò mú ojo wà lára gbogbo ẹranko àti gbogbo ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run, àti gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀dá tí ń rìn nílẹ̀; àti gbogbo ẹja òkun; a fi wọ́n lé e yín lọ́wọ́.
And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea are delivered into your hand.
3 Gbogbo ohun tó wà láààyè tí ó sì ń rìn, ni yóò jẹ́ oúnjẹ fún un yín, bí mo ṣe fi ewéko fún un yín náà ni mo fi ohun gbogbo fún un yín.
And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:
4 “Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹran tòun-tẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀.
Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
5 Nítòótọ́ ẹ̀jẹ̀ yín, àní ẹ̀mí yín, ni èmi yóò sì béèrè; lọ́wọ́ gbogbo ẹranko ni èmí yóò béèrè rẹ̀, àti lọ́wọ́ ènìyàn, lọ́wọ́ arákùnrin olúkúlùkù ènìyàn ni èmi yóò béèrè ẹ̀mí ènìyàn.
For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man.
6 “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ ènìyàn sílẹ̀, láti ọwọ́ ènìyàn ni a ó gbà ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀. Nítorí ní àwòrán Ọlọ́run ni Ọlọ́run dá ènìyàn.
Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n ní tiyín, ẹ máa bí sí i, kí ẹ sì máa pọ̀ sí i, ẹ máa gbá yìn lórí ilẹ̀, kí ẹ sì pọ̀ sí i lórí rẹ̀.”
But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it.
8 Ọlọ́run sì wí fún Noa àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé,
Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him,
9 “Mo dá májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú yín àti pẹ̀lú àwọn ìran yín tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn.
Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
10 Àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ó wà pẹ̀lú yín, ìbá à ṣe ẹyẹ, ẹja, ẹran ọ̀sìn, ẹranko igbó, gbogbo ohun tí ó jáde kúrò nínú ọkọ̀ pẹ̀lú yín, àní gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè ní ayé.
And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.
11 Mo dá májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú yín láéláé, Èmi kì yóò fi ìkún omi pa ayé run kúrò mọ láéláé, a kì yóò fi omi pa ayé run.”
I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth.
12 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Èyí ni àmì májẹ̀mú tí mo ń dá yìí láàrín èmi àti ẹ̀yin àti ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ó wà pẹ̀lú yín, májẹ̀mú àtìrandíran tó ń bọ̀:
And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
13 Mo ti fi òṣùmàrè sí àwọsánmọ̀, yóò sì jẹ́ àmì májẹ̀mú láàrín èmi àti ayé.
I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me, and between the earth.
14 Nígbàkígbà tí mo bá mú kí òjò ṣú, tí òṣùmàrè bá farahàn ní àwọsánmọ̀.
And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:
15 Èmi yóò rántí májẹ̀mú mi, tí ó wà láàrín èmi àti ẹ̀yin àti gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè, kì yóò sì tún sí ìkún omi mọ́ láti pa gbogbo ẹ̀dá run.
And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Nígbàkígbà tí òṣùmàrè bá yọ ní àwọsánmọ̀, èmi yóò rí i, èmi yóò sì rántí májẹ̀mú ayérayé tí ń bẹ láàrín Ọlọ́run àti gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ń bẹ ní ayé.”
And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.
17 Ọlọ́run sì wí fún Noa pé, “Èyí ni àmì májẹ̀mú tí mo ti fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ láàrín èmi àti gbogbo alààyè ní ayé.”
And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.
18 Àwọn ọmọ Noa tí ó jáde nínú ọkọ̀ ni Ṣemu, Hamu àti Jafeti. (Hamu ni baba Kenaani.)
And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
19 Láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Noa mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta yìí ni gbogbo ènìyàn ti tàn ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.
These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
20 Noa bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́ àgbẹ̀, ó sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà.
And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
21 Ó mu àmupara nínú ọtí wáìnì àjàrà rẹ̀, ó sì tú ara rẹ̀ sí ìhòhò, ó sì sùn nínú àgọ́ rẹ̀.
And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
22 Hamu tí í ṣe baba Kenaani sì rí baba rẹ̀ ní ìhòhò bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì lọ sọ fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ méjèèjì ní ìta.
Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father’s nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n Ṣemu àti Jafeti mú aṣọ lé èjìká wọn, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀yìn rìn, wọ́n sì bo ìhòhò baba wọn. Wọ́n kọjú sẹ́yìn kí wọn kí ó má ba à rí ìhòhò baba wọn.
But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24 Nígbà tí Noa kúrò ní ojú ọtí, tí ó sì mọ ohun tí ọmọ rẹ̀ kékeré ṣe sí i.
And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
25 Ó wí pé, “Ègún ni fún Kenaani. Ìránṣẹ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ni yóò máa ṣe fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀.”
He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 Ó sì tún wí pé, “Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Ṣemu Kenaani yóò máa ṣe ẹrú fún Ṣemu.
And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.
27 Ọlọ́run yóò mú Jafeti gbilẹ̀, Jafeti yóò máa gbé ní àgọ́ Ṣemu Kenaani yóò sì jẹ́ ẹrú fún un.”
May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.
28 Noa wà láààyè fún irinwó ọdún dín àádọ́ta lẹ́yìn ìkún omi.
And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years:
29 Àpapọ̀ ọjọ́ ayé Noa jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ọdún dín làádọ́ta, ó sì kú.
And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
