Kenehi 9
1 Na ka manaakitia a Noa ratou ko ana tama e te Atua. I mea ia ki a ratou, Kia hua, kia tini koutou, kia kapi ano hoki te whenua i a koutou.
And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
2 A ko to koutou wehi, ko to koutou whakamataku, ka tau ki runga ki nga kirehe katoa o te whenua, ki nga manu katoa o te rangi, ki nga mea katoa e ngahue ana i runga i te whenua, ki nga ika katoa ano hoki o te moana; kua hoatu ena mea ki to koutou ringa.
The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.
3 Hei kai ma koutou nga mea korikori katoa, nga mea ora; rite tonu ki taku hoatutanga i nga otaota matomato taku hoatutanga i nga mea katoa ki a koutou.
Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.
4 Otiia kaua e kainga e koutou te kikokiko me tona ora, ara ko ona toto.
But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.
5 Na ko o koutou toto, ko te toto e ora nei koutou, he pono ka rapua e ahau he utu; ka rapua e ahau he utu i nga kirehe katoa; i te tangata ano hoki, ka rapua e ahau he utu mo te matenga o te tangata i te teina o ia tangata, o ia tangata.
And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:
6 Ko ia e whakaheke i nga toto o te tangata, ma te tangata ano ona toto e whakaheke: no te Atua hoki te ahua i hanga ai e ia te tangata.
Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.
7 A ko koutou, kia hua, kia tini; kia nui to koutou uri ki runga kite whenua, kia tini hoki ki reira.
But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”
8 A i korero te Atua ki a Noa ratou ko ana tama, i mea,
Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,
9 Ko ahau nei, nana, ka whakapumau ahau i taku kawenata ki a koutou, ki to koutou uri i muri i a koutou;
“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,
10 Ki nga mea ora katoa hoki i a koutou, ki te manu, ki te kararehe, ki nga kirehe katoa hoki o te whenua e noho ana i a koutou; ki nga mea katoa i puta mai i roto i te aaka, puta noa ki nga kirehe katoa o te whenua.
and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark.
11 A ka whakapumautia e ahau taku kawenata ki a koutou; e kore e hatepea atu nga kikokiko katoa a muri ake nei e nga wai o te waipuke; e kore ano e puta mai he waipuke a muri ake nei hei whakangaro mo te whenua.
And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 Ka mea te Atua, Ko te tohu tenei o te kawenata, e whakatakotoria nei e ahau ki waenganui oku, o koutou tae atu ki nga mea ora katoa i a koutou, mo nga whakatupuranga mutungakore:
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
13 Ka whakatakotoria e ahau taku kopere ki te kapua, a ka waiho hei tohu mo te kawenata i waenganui oku, o te whenua.
I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
14 Tenei ake ano, i te wa e whakaputa ai ahau i te kapua ki runga ki te whenua, ka kitea te kopere i te kapua:
Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15 A ka mahara ahau ki taku kawenata i waenganui oku, o koutou me nga mea ora katoa, ara nga kikokiko katoa; e kore nga wai e pupuke a muri ake nei hei whakangaro i nga kikokiko katoa.
I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
16 A ka piri te kopere ki te kapua; a ka titiro atu ahau ki taua mea, kia mahara ai ahau ki te kawenata mau tonu i waenganui o te Atua, o nga wairua ora katoa o nga kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.
And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.”
17 Na ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, Ko te tohu tenei o te kawenata e whakapumautia nei e ahau ki waenganui oku, o nga kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.
So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”
18 Na ko nga tama a Noa, i puta mai nei i roto i te aaka, ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta: a ko Hama te matua o Kanaana.
The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.
19 Ko nga tama tokotoru enei a Noa: a na enei i kapi ai te whenua katoa.
These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
20 Na ka timata a Noa te ngaki whenua, a whakatokia ana e ia he mara waina:
Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.
21 A ka inumia e ia te waina, ka haurangi; na ka takoto tahanga i roto i tona teneti.
But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.
22 A, i te kitenga o Hama, o te matua o Kanaana, i tona matua e takoto tahanga ana, ka korerotia e ia ki ona tuakana tokorua i waho.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.
23 Na ka tango a Hema raua ko Iapeta i tetahi kakahu, maka iho e raua ki runga ki o raua pokohiwi, na ka haere whakatuara atu raua, a hipokina ana te wahi takoto kau o to raua papa; me te ahu ano o raua kanohi ki muri, a kihai raua i kite i te wahi takoto kau o to raua papa.
Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
24 Na ka maranga ake a Noa i tana waina, ka mohio ki ta tana potiki i mea ai ki a ia.
When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,
25 Na ka mea ia, Ka kanga a Kanaana, ka waiho ia hei tino pononga ma ona tuakana.
he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
26 I mea ano ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Hema; a ka waiho a Kanaana hei pononga mana.
He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.
27 Ka meinga a Iapeta e te Atua kia tohatoha noa atu, kia noho hoki ia ki nga teneti o Hema; a hei pononga a Kanaana mana.
May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”
28 A e toru rau e rima tekau nga tau i ora ai a Noa i muri i te waipuke.
After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.
29 A ko nga ra katoa o Noa e iwa rau e rima tekau tau: a ka mate ia.
So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
