< Genesis 9 >

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons. And he said to them: “Increase, and multiply, and fill 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 And let the fear and trembling of you be upon all the animals of the earth, and upon all the birds of the air, along with all that moves across the earth. All the fish of the sea have been delivered into your hand.
Dei fo basa banda fui ra, mbuiꞌ ra, ma uꞌu ra ramatau hei. Hei musi tao mataꞌ neu se.
3 And everything that moves and lives will be food for you. Just as with the edible plants, I have delivered them all 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 except that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
Akaꞌ na, hei afiꞌ mia sisi feꞌe ma raaꞌ, huu banda hahae na sia raa na.
5 For I will examine the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast. So also, at the hand of mankind, at the hand of each man and his brother, I will examine the life of mankind.
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 will shed human blood, his blood will be poured out. For man was indeed made to the image of God.
7 But as for you: increase and multiply, and go forth upon the earth and fulfill it.”
Hei musi bꞌonggi mimihefu, fo misofe baliꞌ raefafoꞌ ia.”
8 To Noah and to his sons with him, God also said this:
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae,
9 “Behold, I will 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 soul that is with you: as much with the birds as with the cattle and all the animals of the earth that have gone forth from the ark, and with all the wild beasts 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, and no longer will all that is flesh be put to death by the waters of a great flood, and, henceforth, there will not be a great flood to utterly 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 And God said: “This is the sign of the pact that I grant between me and you, and to every living soul 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 will place my arc in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the pact between myself and the earth.
14 And when I obscure the sky with clouds, my arc will appear in the clouds.
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 And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that enlivens flesh. And there will no longer be waters from a great flood to wipe away all that is flesh.
16 And the arc will be in the clouds, and I will see it, and I will remember the everlasting covenant that was enacted between God and every living soul of all that is flesh upon the earth.”
17 And God said to Noah, “This will be the sign of the covenant that I have established between myself and all that is flesh upon the earth.”
18 And so the sons of Noah, who came out of the ark, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now Ham himself 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 are the sons of Noah. And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.
Basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ tititi-nonosi nara laoꞌ mia Noh ana ka telu nara naa ra.
20 And Noah, a good farmer, began to cultivate the land, and he planted a vineyard.
Noh ia, atahori mana ue rae. Ana mana tao naꞌahuluꞌ osi anggor.
21 And by drinking its wine, he became inebriated and was naked in 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 Because of this, when Ham, the father of Canaan, had indeed seen the privates of his father to be naked, he reported it to his two brothers outside.
Ham nita ama na maꞌaholaꞌ ma, ana nela dea neu, nafadꞌe aꞌa na Sem no Yafet.
23 And truly, Shem and Japheth put a cloak upon their arms, and, advancing backwards, covered the privates of their father. And their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s manhood.
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 Then Noah, awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
Noh mamafu na nae mopo ma, ana bubꞌuluꞌ ana muri na tatao na.
25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants will he be 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 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord 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, and may he live in the tents of Shem, and 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 And after the great flood, Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years.
Oe mandali monaeꞌ a basa ma, Noh feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun telu lima nulu fai.
29 And all his days were completed in nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.
Ana too natun sio lima nulu ma, ana mate.
