< Genesisy 9 >

1 Nitatan’Añahare t’i Nòake naho o ana-dahi’eo ami’ty hoe: Mitomboa naho mangetse­ke­tse­ha vaho liforo ty tane toy.
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.
2 Le amy ze kila biby ambone’ ty tane toy naho amy ze voron-tioke naho amy ze mpisi­tsitse an-tane atoy, vaho amy ze fiañe an-driak’ ao ty fihembañañe naho ty firevendreveñañe anahareo, fa natolotse am-pità’ areo.
The fear of you and the dread of you will be upon every living animal on the earth, upon every bird of the sky, upon everything that goes low on the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.
3 Ho fikama’ areo ze hene raha veloñe; manahake ty nanolo­rako anahareo o ahetse maindoñindoñeo ty anolorako ze satan’ Añahare.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 Fe tsy ho kamae’ areo ze nofotse reketse ty havelo’e—i lio’ey.
But you must not eat meat with its life—that is its blood—in it.
5 Toe ho paiaeko an-taña’ ze fonga biby naho am-pità’ondaty naho am-pitàn-drahalahi’ ondaty ty lio’areo, ty havelo’areo. Ho paiako ty fiai’indatiy.
But for your blood, the life that is in your blood, I will require payment. From the hand of every animal I will require it. From the hand of any man, that is, from the hand of one who has murdered his brother, I will require an accounting for the life of that man.
6 Ze mampiori-dio ondaty, Le hampiorihe’ondaty ka ty lio’e. Fa ami’ty vintan’Añahare ty nitseneañe ondatio.
Whoever sheds man's blood, by man will his blood be shed, for it was in the image of God that he made man.
7 Aa le mahavokara vaho mangetse­ketseha, miraoraòa an-tane atoy vaho mihamaroa ama’e.
As for you, be fruitful and multiply, spread throughout the earth and multiply on it.”
8 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Nòake naho amo ana-dahi’e nindre ama’eo:
Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 Ingo te mañori-pañina ama’areo naho amo tarira’areo hanonjohio raho,
“As for me, listen! I am going to confirm my covenant with you and with your descendants after you,
10 naho amy ze kila raha veloñe mindre ama’areo, o voroñeo, o hareo, naho ze fonga bibi’ ty tane toy, ze niakatse i lakam-poloaiy, ze kila’ bibi’ ty tane toy.
and with every living creature that is with you, with the birds, the livestock, and every creature of the earth with you, from all that came out of the ark, to every living creature on the earth.
11 Horizako ama’areo ty fañinako te tsy hampaitoeñe an-drano fiempoempoañe ka ze kila nofotse, vaho tsy ho rots­ahe’ ty fiempoempoan-drano ka ty tane toy.
I hereby confirm my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be destroyed by the waters of a flood. Never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 Hoe t’i Andrianañahare, Zao ty vilo’ ty fañina ifañinàko ama’areo naho amo kila raha veloñe mindre ama’ areoo pak’amy ze hene tariratse añe:
God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:
13 Ho reketeko amo rahoñeo ty àvako ho vilo’ ty fañinako ami’ty tane toy.
I have set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 Ie ampandrahoñeko ty ambone’ ty tane toy, le hiboak’ amo rahoñeo i avañey
It will come about when I bring a cloud over the earth and the rainbow is seen in the cloud,
15 le ho tiahiko i fañinako ama’ areo naho amo raha veloñe ama’ ­nofotse iabioy; vaho tsy ho empoempoe’ o ranoo ka ze hene nofotse handrotsake aze.
then I will call to mind my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. The waters will never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 Ie amo rahoñeo i avañey, le ho treako vaho ho tiahiko i fañina tsy ho modo añivon’ Añahare naho ze hene raha veloñe ama’ nofotse an-tane atoiy.
The rainbow will be in the clouds and I will see it, in order to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
17 Hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Nòake, Zay ty ho vilo’ i fañina norizeko añivo’ Ahy naho ze kila nofotse an-tane atoiy.
Then God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have confirmed between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
18 O ana’ i Nòake niakatse i lakam-poloaio, le i Seme naho i Kame vaho Ièfete. Rae’ i Kanàne t’i Kame.
The sons of Noah that came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.
19 I telo rey ro ana-dahi’ i Nòake; le boak’ am’ iereo ty nanitsihañe ty tane toy.
These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20 Niorotse niava tane t’i Nòake vaho nambole valoboke.
Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
21 Ie nikama ty divai’e le nimamo vaho tsy aman-tsaroñe t’ie an-kiboho’e ao.
He drank some of the wine and became drunk. He was lying uncovered in his tent.
22 Nizoe’ i Kame, rae’ i Kanàne, ty fiha­lon-drae’e le vinola’e ty rahalahi’e roe alafe ao.
Then Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.
23 Aa le rinambe’ i Seme naho Ièfete ty lamba, le nasampe an-tsoro’ iareo roe le nidisa-voly nanaroñe ty fihalon-drae’e; nitolike ty lahara’iareo tsy nahatrea i fihaloa’ey.
So Shem and Japheth took a robe and laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, so they did not see their father's nakedness.
24 Ie nivañoñe amy divai’ey t’i Nòake naho nahafohiñe i nanoa’ i ana-tsitso’ey,
When Noah awoke from his wine, he learned what his youngest son had done to him.
25 le hoe re, Afàtse t’i Kanàne fa ho mpitorom-pitoroñe amo roahalahi’eo. Hoe ka re,
So he said, “Cursed be Canaan. May he be a servant to his brothers' servants.”
26 Rengèñe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Seme, fa ho mpitoro’e t’i Kanàne.
He also said, “May Yahweh, the God of Shem, be blessed, and may Canaan be his servant.
27 Hampientaren’Añahare t’Ièfete, ie himoneñe an-kiboho’ i Seme, vaho ho mpitoro’e t’i Kanàne.
May God extend the territory of Japheth, and let him make his home in the tents of Shem. May Canaan be his servant.”
28 Niveloñe telon-jato tsy limampolo taoñe tafara’ i fiempoempoañey t’i Nòake.
After the flood, Noah lived three hundred fifty years.
29 Nañeneke sivan-jato-tsi-limampolo taoñe ty hene andro’ i Nòake, vaho nihomake. Zay ty fanoñona’ o ana’ i Nòakeo
All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
