Genesis 9
1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “I want you to have many children who will live all over 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 All the wild animals on the earth and all the birds, all the creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the fish, will be very afraid [DOU] of you. I have put them under your control.
Dei fo basa banda fui ra, mbuiꞌ ra, ma uꞌu ra ramatau hei. Hei musi tao mataꞌ neu se.
3 Just as I previously said you could eat green plants for food, now I am saying you can eat everything that lives and moves.
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 [It is blood that causes creatures to be alive], therefore you must not eat meat that still has blood in it after the animal is killed. [After you have drained the blood out, you may cook it and eat it].
Akaꞌ na, hei afiꞌ mia sisi feꞌe ma raaꞌ, huu banda hahae na sia raa na.
5 I insist that murderers must be executed. Animals that kill people must also be executed. The reason that everyone who murders someone else must be executed is that
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 I made people to be like myself [in many ways]. So someone who murders another human being must be executed by others, [because he killed someone who is like me].
7 As for you, I want you to produce many children, in order that they and their descendants may live all over the earth.”
Hei musi bꞌonggi mimihefu, fo misofe baliꞌ raefafoꞌ ia.”
8 God also said to Noah and his sons,
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae,
9 “Listen carefully. I am now making a solemn promise to you and with your descendants,
“Ia naa, Au ae tao hehelu-fufuli o hei, no hei tititi-nonosi mara boe.
10 and with all the living creatures that are with you—including the birds, the livestock, and the wild animals—every living creature on the earth that came out of the boat with you.
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 This is the promise that I am making to you: I will never again destroy all living creatures by a flood, or destroy everything else on the earth by a flood.”
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 Then God said to him, “This is the sign to guarantee that I will keep the promise that I am making to you and to all living creatures, a promise that I will keep forever:
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 [From time to time] I will put a rainbow in the sky. It will remind me of my promise that I have made to you and everything on the earth.
14 When I cause rain to fall from the clouds, and a rainbow appears in the sky,
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 it will remind me about the promise that I have made to you and all living creatures, my promise that there will never again be a flood that will destroy all living creatures.
16 Whenever there is a rainbow in the sky, I will see it, and I will think about the promise that I have made to every living creature that is upon the earth, a promise that I will keep forever.”
17 Then God said to Noah, “The rainbow will be the sign of the promise that I have made to all the creatures that live on the earth.”
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the boat were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham later became 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 All the people on the earth are descended from those three sons of Noah.
Basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ tititi-nonosi nara laoꞌ mia Noh ana ka telu nara naa ra.
20 Noah was a farmer. He planted grapevines.
Noh ia, atahori mana ue rae. Ana mana tao naꞌahuluꞌ osi anggor.
21 [When they later produced grapes, he made wine from the grapes]. One day, when he drank too much of the wine, he became drunk, and he lay 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 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father lying naked in the tent. So he went outside and told his two older brothers what he had seen.
Ham nita ama na maꞌaholaꞌ ma, ana nela dea neu, nafadꞌe aꞌa na Sem no Yafet.
23 Then Shem and Japheth took a large cloth and placed it across their backs, and walked backwards into the tent. They covered their father’s naked body with the cloth. Their faces were turned away from their father, so they did not see him naked.
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 When Noah woke up [and was sober again], he found out how wrongfully Ham, his youngest son, had behaved toward him.
Noh mamafu na nae mopo ma, ana bubꞌuluꞌ ana muri na tatao na.
25 He said, “I am cursing Ham’s youngest son, Canaan, and his descendants. They will be like slaves to their uncles.
Boe ma ana olaꞌ nae, “He! Kanaꞌan ama na! Au sumba-ndoon nggo! Dei fo ho dadꞌi ate sia aꞌa mara!
26 I will ask God to enlarge the territory that belongs to Japheth, and allow his descendants to live peacefully among the descendants of Shem [MTY].
Au koa-kio LAMATUALAIN, huu Sem! Te Kanaꞌan, dadꞌi Sem ate na.
27 And I desire that Canaan’s descendants will be like slaves of Japheth’s descendants.”
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 Noah lived 350 more years after the flood.
Oe mandali monaeꞌ a basa ma, Noh feꞌe nasodꞌa too natun telu lima nulu fai.
29 He died when he was 950 years old.
Ana too natun sio lima nulu ma, ana mate.
