Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
Ndipo Mungu akambariki Noa na wanawe, akiwaambia, “Zaeni mkaongezeke kwa idadi na mkaijaze tena dunia.
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.
Wanyama wote wa duniani, ndege wote wa angani, kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya ardhi, na samaki wote wa baharini wamekabidhiwa mikononi mwenu, nao watawaogopa na kuwahofu.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
Kila kitu chenye uhai kiendacho kitakuwa chakula chenu. Kama vile nilivyowapa mimea mbalimbali, sasa nawapa kila kitu.
4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat.
“Lakini kamwe msile nyama ambayo bado ina damu ya uhai wake, kwa maana damu ni uhai.
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.
Hakika damu ya uhai wenu nitaidai. Nitaidai kutoka kwa kila mnyama. Kutoka kwa kila mwanadamu pia nitaidai kwa ajili ya uhai wa mtu mwenzake.
6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
“Yeyote amwagaye damu ya mwanadamu, damu yake itamwagwa na mwanadamu, kwa kuwa katika mfano wa Mungu, Mungu alimuumba mwanadamu.
7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
Kuhusu ninyi, zaeni mwongezeke kwa wingi, mzidi katika dunia na kuijaza.”
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
Ndipo Mungu akamwambia Noa na wanawe pamoja naye:
9 “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
“Sasa mimi ninaweka Agano langu nanyi, pamoja na uzao wenu baada yenu,
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.
pia na kila kiumbe hai kilichokuwa pamoja nanyi: Ndege, wanyama wa kufugwa na wanyama wote wa porini, wale wote waliotoka katika safina pamoja nanyi, kila kiumbe hai duniani.
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.”
Ninaweka Agano nanyi: Kamwe uhai hautafutwa tena kwa gharika, kamwe haitakuwepo tena gharika ya kuangamiza dunia.”
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:
Mungu akasema, “Hii ni ishara ya Agano ninalofanya kati yangu na ninyi na kila kiumbe hai kilicho pamoja nanyi, Agano kwa vizazi vyote vijavyo:
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
Nimeweka upinde wangu wa mvua mawinguni, nao utakuwa ishara ya Agano nifanyalo kati yangu na dunia.
14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
Wakati wowote ninapotanda mawingu juu ya dunia na upinde wa mvua ukijitokeza mawinguni,
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.
nitakumbuka Agano langu kati yangu na ninyi na viumbe vyote vilivyo hai vya kila aina. Kamwe maji hayatakuwa tena gharika ya kuangamiza uhai wote.
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.”
Wakati wowote upinde wa mvua unapotokea mawinguni, nitauona na kukumbuka Agano la milele kati ya Mungu na viumbe vyote vilivyo hai vya kila aina duniani.”
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.”
Hivyo Mungu akamwambia Noa, “Hii ndiyo ishara ya Agano ambalo nimelifanya kati yangu na viumbe vyote vilivyo hai duniani.”
18 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
Wana wa Noa waliotoka ndani ya safina ni: Shemu, Hamu na Yafethi. (Hamu ndiye alikuwa baba wa Kanaani.)
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
Hawa ndio waliokuwa wana watatu wa Noa, kutokana nao watu walienea katika dunia.
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
Noa akawa mkulima, akawa mtu wa kwanza kupanda mizabibu.
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
Alipokunywa huo mvinyo wake akalewa na akalala uchi kwenye hema lake.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
Hamu, baba wa Kanaani, akauona uchi wa baba yake na kuwaeleza ndugu zake wawili waliokuwa nje.
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.
Lakini Shemu na Yafethi wakachukua nguo wakaitanda mabegani mwao wote wawili, kisha wakaenda kinyumenyume, wakaufunika uchi wa baba yao. Nyuso zao zilielekea upande mwingine ili wasiuone uchi wa baba yao.
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
Noa alipolevuka kutoka kwenye mvinyo wake na kujua lile ambalo mwanawe mdogo kuliko wote alilokuwa amemtendea,
25 He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
akasema, “Alaaniwe Kanaani! Atakuwa mtumwa wa chini sana kuliko watumwa wote kwa ndugu zake.”
26 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
Pia akasema, “Abarikiwe Bwana, Mungu wa Shemu! Kanaani na awe mtumwa wa Shemu.
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
Mungu na apanue mipaka ya Yafethi; Yafethi na aishi katika mahema ya Shemu, na Kanaani na awe mtumwa wake.”
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
Baada ya gharika Noa aliishi miaka 350.
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
Noa alikuwa na jumla ya miaka 950, ndipo akafa.
