Genesis 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ngai akĩrathima Nuhu na ariũ ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ciaranai na mũingĩhe na mũiyũre thĩ.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered.
Nyamũ ciothe cia thĩ, na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, ciothe nĩ irĩmwĩtigagĩra na imakage nĩ inyuĩ, ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, na thamaki ciothe cia iria-inĩ; nĩndacineana moko-inĩ manyu.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
Kĩndũ gĩothe gĩtũũraga muoyo na gĩthiiaga-rĩ, gĩgũtuĩka irio cianyu. O ta ũrĩa ndamũheire mĩmera ĩrĩa mĩruru mũrĩĩage, rĩu nĩ ndamũhe indo ciothe ituĩke irio cianyu.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
“No rĩrĩ, mũtikanarĩe nyama irĩ na thakame, tondũ thakame nĩyo muoyo.
5 And surely your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, will I require the life of man.
Na ti-itherũ nĩngarĩhanĩria gũitwo gwa thakame yanyu. Ndĩmĩrĩhanĩrie o na kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ o na ĩrĩkũ. Nake mũndũ angĩita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, o nake nĩakarĩhio thakame ĩyo.
6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
“Mũndũ o wothe ũgaita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, thakame yake o nayo ĩgaitwo nĩ mũndũ; nĩgũkorwo Ngai ombire mũndũ na mũhianĩre wake.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciaranai na mũingĩhe; muongerereke thĩ na mũiyũre kuo.”
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu hamwe na ariũ ake atĩrĩ,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
“Rĩu niĩ nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ, na njiaro cianyu iria igooka thuutha wanyu,
10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
o na hamwe na kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo kĩa iria mũraarĩ nacio; nĩcio nyoni, na mahiũ o na nyamũ cia gĩthaka ciothe iria cioimire thabina hamwe na inyuĩ, ici nĩcio ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Nĩndathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ: Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ muoyo wothe ũkaaniinwo na mũiyũro wa maaĩ; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ gũkaagĩa mũiyũro wa maaĩ wa kũniina thĩ.”
12 And 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:
Ningĩ Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndĩrarĩkanĩra na inyuĩ na ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo irĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa njiarwa ciothe iria igooka:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Nĩndekĩra mũkũnga-mbura wakwa matu-inĩ, na nĩguo ũgũtuĩka kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa na andũ a thĩ.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngaarehe matu igũrũ rĩa thĩ, naguo mũkũnga-mbura woneke matu-inĩ macio,
15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
nĩndĩĩririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gatagatĩ kanyu na niĩ, na gatagatĩ ga ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe iria itũũraga muoyo. Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ maaĩ magatuĩka mũiyũro wa kũniina mĩoyo yothe.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũkũnga-mbura ũrĩonekaga itu-inĩ-rĩ, ndĩĩwonaga ngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene gatagatĩ ka Ngai na ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe iria itũũraga muoyo gũkũ thĩ.”
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndathondeka gatagatĩ gakwa na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ.”
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Ariũ a Nuhu arĩa moimire thabina maarĩ Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu. (Hamu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Kaanani).
19 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.
Acio atatũ nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Nuhu, na kuuma kũrĩ o gũkiuma andũ arĩa othe maahurunjirwo thĩ yothe.
20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:
Nuhu aarĩ mũrĩmi, na nĩahaandire mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ.
21 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
Rĩrĩa aanyuire ndibei ya mĩthabibũ ĩyo, akĩrĩĩo, na agĩkoma thĩinĩ wa hema yake atehumbĩrĩte.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Hamu, ithe wa Kaanani, nĩonire njaga ya ithe, na akĩĩra ariũ a nyina eerĩ arĩa maarĩ nja.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
No Shemu na Jafethu makĩoya nguo makĩigĩrĩra ciande; magĩthiĩ na kĩĩhutaatĩ, makĩhumbĩra njaga ya ithe. Mothiũ mao maahũgũkĩte na kũngĩ nĩguo matikoone njaga ya ithe wao.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
Rĩrĩa Nuhu aarĩĩũkirwo na akĩmenya ũrĩa mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini aamwĩkĩte-rĩ,
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaanani aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi! Agaatuĩka ngombo ya kũhinyĩrĩrio biũ nĩ ariũ a nyina.”
26 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogaathwo, o we Ngai wa Shemu! Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo ya Shemu.
27 God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
Ngai aroaramia mĩhaka ya Jafethu; Jafethu arotũũra hema-inĩ cia Shemu, na Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo yake.”
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũthira-rĩ, Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matatũ na mĩrongo ĩtano.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka magana kenda na mĩrongo ĩtano, agĩcooka agĩkua.
