< Genesis 9 >

1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
Basa naa ma, Lamatualain fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu Noh no ana nara. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ama bꞌonggi nae-nae, fo misofe raefafoꞌ a.
2 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.
Dei fo basa banda fui ra, mbuiꞌ ra, ma uꞌu ra ramatau hei. Hei musi tao mataꞌ neu se.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
Hei bisa mia basa banda ra sisi na, onaꞌ hei mia huu-huuꞌ ra buna-bꞌoa na. Au fee basa ia ra neu nggi.
4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
Akaꞌ na, hei afiꞌ mia sisi feꞌe ma raaꞌ, huu banda hahae na sia raa na.
5 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.
Au uꞌudadadꞌiꞌ atahori onaꞌ mata Ngga boe. Huu naa, de afi tao misa atahori. Mete ma hambu atahori, do banda, tao risa atahori, naa, musi tao misa se boe. Hohoro-lalaneꞌ ia, mia Au nema.
6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
Hei musi bꞌonggi mimihefu, fo misofe baliꞌ raefafoꞌ ia.”
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae,
9 “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
“Ia naa, Au ae tao hehelu-fufuli o hei, no hei tititi-nonosi mara boe.
10 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.
Hehelu-fufuliꞌ ia dai basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra, mana dea rema ro hei mia ofai rala. Naeni, basa banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, ma mbuiꞌ ra.
11 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.”
Au hehelu ngga, taꞌo ia: Au nda afiꞌ fee oe mandali monaeꞌ sa ena, fo tao nisa basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra, ma nalutu basa raefafoꞌ ia.
12 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:
Au tao elus Ngga sia lalai, dadꞌi bukti fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu hehelu-fufuli Ngga nda mana neneneꞌetuꞌ sa. Au helu-fuli ia, neu hei, ma basa mana masodꞌa ra, ma raefafoꞌ ia.
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
Mete ma hambu leleeꞌ sia lalai, ma elus a sou, naa, fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Au hehelu-fufuli ngga ia, nae: oe mandali monaeꞌ nda afiꞌ nalutu basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra sa ena. Au hehelu-fufuli ngga ia, nda neneneꞌetuꞌ sa. Au helu-fuli ia, neu nggi, mo basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra.”
15 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 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 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 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
Noh ana nara mana dea rema mia ofai a, nara nara Sem, Yafet, ma Ham. (Ham naa, Kanaꞌan ama na).
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
Basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ tititi-nonosi nara laoꞌ mia Noh ana ka telu nara naa ra.
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
Noh ia, atahori mana ue rae. Ana mana tao naꞌahuluꞌ osi anggor.
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
Lao esa, ana ninu anggor losa mafu naeꞌ. De olu hendi bua-baꞌu na, ma sungguꞌ lengga-loli no maꞌahola na mia lalaa na rala.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
Ham nita ama na maꞌaholaꞌ ma, ana nela dea neu, nafadꞌe aꞌa na Sem no Yafet.
23 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.
De ruꞌa se haꞌi rala lafe esa, ma ndae dodoko neu aru nara. Dei de, ara lao rasadꞌedꞌeaꞌ lalaaꞌ rala reu, de luꞌumbanu rala ama na. No taꞌo naa, ara nda rita ama na maꞌahola na sa. Basa de, ara dea reu.
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
Noh mamafu na nae mopo ma, ana bubꞌuluꞌ ana muri na tatao na.
25 He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
Boe ma ana olaꞌ nae, “He! Kanaꞌan ama na! Au sumba-ndoon nggo! Dei fo ho dadꞌi ate sia aꞌa mara!
26 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
Au koa-kio LAMATUALAIN, huu Sem! Te Kanaꞌan, dadꞌi Sem ate na.
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain naloa Yafet rae na; Ma tititi-nonosi nara rasodꞌa dame ro Sem tititi-nonosi nara. Te hela fo Kanaꞌan dadꞌi Yafet ate na.”
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
Oe mandali monaeꞌ a basa ma, Noh feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun telu lima nulu fai.
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
Ana too natun sio lima nulu ma, ana mate.
