Senesi 9
1 Pea naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Noa mo hono ngaahi foha, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou tupu, mo fakatokolahi, pea fakakakai ʻa māmani.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 Pea ʻe ʻi he fanga manu kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻae manavahē mo e ilifia kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻi he fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he fonua, pea ki he ngaahi ika kotoa pē ʻoe tahi; kuo tuku kotoa pē ki homou nima.
And the fear of you and the dread of you will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are given.
3 Ko e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue, ko hoʻo mou meʻakai ia; ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau mata kuo u foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 Ka ko e kakano ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae moʻui, [ʻaia ]ko hono toto, ʻe ʻikai te mou kai ia.
But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
5 He ko e moʻoni, teu ʻekeʻi ʻae toto ʻa hoʻomou moʻui; teu ʻekeʻi ia ʻi he nima ʻoe fanga manu kotoa pē; pea mei he nima ʻoe tangata; teu ʻekeʻi ʻae moʻui ʻae tangata mei he nima ʻoe kāinga ʻoe tangata kotoa pē.
And surely I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
6 Ko ia ʻoku lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe tangata, ʻe lilingi hono toto ʻe he tangata: he naʻe ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi he tatau ʻoe ʻOtua.
Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
7 Pea ko kimoutolu, ke mou tupu, pea fakatokolahi mo fanafanau lahi ʻi he fonua, pea tupu ke tokolahi ʻi ai.”
And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."
8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē,
God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9 “Vakai, ko au, ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava kiate kimoutolu, mo homou hako ʻe tupu fakaholo;
"And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
10 Pea ki he ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻae fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu lalata, mo e fanga manu vao kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu; ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu atu mei he vaka, pea mo e fanga manu vao kotoa pē ʻe ʻi he fonua.
and with every living creature that is with you: the flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
11 Pea te u fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava mo kimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻikai toe motuhi ʻae kakano kotoa pē ʻe he ngaahi vai ʻo ha lōmaki; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha lōmaki ke fakaʻauha ʻa māmani.”
I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."
12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, “Ko eni ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe fuakava kuo u fai mo kimoutolu mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ki he ngaahi toʻutangata taʻetuku:
God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 ʻOku ou ai ʻeku ʻumata ʻi he ʻao, pea ʻe fakaʻilonga ʻaki ia ʻae fuakava ʻiate au mo māmani.”
I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 Pea ʻe pehē, “O kau ka ʻomi ʻae ʻao ki he fonua, ʻe hā mai ʻae ʻumata ʻi he ʻao:
It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 Pea te u manatu ki heʻeku fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fai mo kimoutolu mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē; pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ʻae ngaahi vai, ko e lōmaki ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakano kotoa pē.
and 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 Pea ʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻae ʻumata; pea te u vakai ki ai, koeʻuhi ke u manatu ki he fuakava taʻengata ʻae ʻOtua mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."
17 Pea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Noa, “Ko eni ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻiate au mo e kakano kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
18 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Noa, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu mei he vaka, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti: pea ko Hami ko e tamai ʻa Kēnani.
The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 Ko eni ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo Noa pea naʻe fakakakai ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻiate kinautolu.
These were the three sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
20 Pea naʻe kamata ʻa Noa ke tauhi ngoue, pea ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine:
Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard.
21 Pea inu ʻe ia ʻi he uaine, pea kona ai: pea naʻe telefua ia ʻi hono fale fehikitaki.
He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22 Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Hami, ko e tamai ʻa Kēnani, ki he telefua ʻo ʻene tamai, pea tala ʻe ia ki hono ongo tokoua ʻituʻa.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.
23 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Semi mo Sefeti ʻae kofu, pea na ai ia ki hona uma, pea naʻa na fakaholomui, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻae telefua ʻo ʻena tamai, pea naʻe hanga kimui hona mata, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata ʻekinaua ki he telefua ʻo ʻena tamai.
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 turned the other way, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
24 Pea naʻe ʻā ʻa Noa mei heʻene uaine, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe fai kiate ia ʻe hono foha kimui.
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke malaʻia ʻa Kēnani. ʻE hoko ia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ki hono kāinga.”
He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
26 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke monūʻia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo Semi; pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kēnani ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
27 E fakalahi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sefeti, pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Semi; pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kēnani ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.”
May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."
28 Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Noa hili ʻae lōmaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungeau ma nimangofulu.
Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
29 Pea naʻe hivangeau ma nimangofulu taʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Noa: pea pekia ia.
All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, then he died.
