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.
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over 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.
All the wild animals on the earth and all the birds, all the creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the fish, will be very afraid [DOU] of you. I have put them under your control.
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.
Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
4 “Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹran tòun-tẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀.
[It is blood that causes creatures to be alive], therefore you must not eat meat that still has blood in it after the animal is killed. [After you have drained the blood out, you may cook it and eat it].
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.
I insist that murderers must be executed. Animals that kill people must also be executed. The reason that everyone who murders someone else must be executed is that
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.
I made people to be like myself [in many ways]. So someone who murders another human being must be executed by others, [because he killed someone who is like me].
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.”
As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
8 Ọlọ́run sì wí fún Noa àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé,
God also said to Noah and his sons,
9 “Mo dá májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú yín àti pẹ̀lú àwọn ìran yín tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn.
“Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
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 all the living creatures that are with you—including the birds, the livestock, and the wild animals—every living creature on the earth that came out of the boat with you.
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.”
This is the promise that I am making to you: I will never again destroy all living creatures by a flood, or destroy everything else on the earth by a flood.”
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:
Then God said to him, “This is the sign to guarantee that I will keep the promise that I am making to you and to all living creatures, a promise that I will keep forever:
13 Mo ti fi òṣùmàrè sí àwọsánmọ̀, yóò sì jẹ́ àmì májẹ̀mú láàrín èmi àti ayé.
[From time to time] I will put a rainbow in the sky. It will remind me of my promise that I have made to you and everything on the earth.
14 Nígbàkígbà tí mo bá mú kí òjò ṣú, tí òṣùmàrè bá farahàn ní àwọsánmọ̀.
When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
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.
it will remind me about the promise that I have made to you and all living creatures, my promise that there will never again be a flood that will destroy all living creatures.
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.”
Whenever there is a rainbow in the sky, I will see it, and I will think about the promise that I have made to every living creature that is upon the earth, a promise that I will keep forever.”
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.”
Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow will be the sign of the promise that I have made to all the creatures that live on the earth.”
18 Àwọn ọmọ Noa tí ó jáde nínú ọkọ̀ ni Ṣemu, Hamu àti Jafeti. (Hamu ni baba Kenaani.)
The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became the father of Canaan.
19 Láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Noa mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta yìí ni gbogbo ènìyàn ti tàn ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ ayé.
All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
20 Noa bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́ àgbẹ̀, ó sì gbin ọgbà àjàrà.
Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
21 Ó mu àmupara nínú ọtí wáìnì àjàrà rẹ̀, ó sì tú ara rẹ̀ sí ìhòhò, ó sì sùn nínú àgọ́ rẹ̀.
[When they later produced grapes, he made wine from the grapes]. One day, when he drank too much of the wine, he became drunk, and he lay naked 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.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father lying naked in the tent. So he went outside and told his two older brothers what he had seen.
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.
Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked.
24 Nígbà tí Noa kúrò ní ojú ọtí, tí ó sì mọ ohun tí ọmọ rẹ̀ kékeré ṣe sí i.
When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
25 Ó wí pé, “Ègún ni fún Kenaani. Ìránṣẹ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ni yóò máa ṣe fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀.”
He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
26 Ó sì tún wí pé, “Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Ṣemu Kenaani yóò máa ṣe ẹrú fún Ṣemu.
I will ask God to enlarge the territory that belongs to Japheth, and allow his descendants to live peacefully among the descendants of Shem [MTY].
27 Ọlọ́run yóò mú Jafeti gbilẹ̀, Jafeti yóò máa gbé ní àgọ́ Ṣemu Kenaani yóò sì jẹ́ ẹrú fún un.”
And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
28 Noa wà láààyè fún irinwó ọdún dín àádọ́ta lẹ́yìn ìkún omi.
Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
29 Àpapọ̀ ọjọ́ ayé Noa jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ọdún dín làádọ́ta, ó sì kú.
He died when he was 950 years old.
