Gênesis 9

1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand. 3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you. 4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat. 5 I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man. 6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image. 7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."

8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 "As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth. 11 I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth." 12 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: 13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud, 15 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 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." 17 God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

18 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.

20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard. 21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 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 backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness. 24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25 He said,

"Canaan is cursed.

He will be a servant of servants to his brothers."

26 He said,

"Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem.

Let Canaan be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth.

Let him dwell in the tents of Shem.

Let Canaan be his servant."

28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood. 29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.

Te Kawenata a te Atua ki a Noa

1 Nā, ka manaakitia a Noa rātou ko āna tama e te Atua, i mea ia ki a rātou, "Kia hua, kia tini koutou, kia kapi anō hoki te whenua i a koutou. 2 Ā, ko tō koutou wehi, ko tō koutou whakamataku, ka tau ki runga ki ngā kīrehe katoa o te whenua, ki ngā manu katoa o te rangi, ki ngā mea katoa e ngahue ana i runga i te whenua, ki ngā ika katoa anō hoki o te moana; kua hoatu ēnā mea ki tō koutou ringa. 3 Hei kai mā koutou ngā mea korikori katoa, ngā mea ora; rite tonu ki tāku hoatutanga i ngā otaota matomato tāku hoatutanga i ngā mea katoa ki a koutou.

4 "Otiia kaua e kainga e koutou te kikokiko me tōna ora, arā ko ōna toto. 5 Nā, ko ō koutou toto, ko te toto e ora nei koutou, he pono ka rapua e ahau he utu. Ka rapua e ahau he utu i ngā kīrehe katoa; i te tangata anō hoki, ka rapua e ahau he utu mō te matenga o te tangata i te teina o ia tangata, o ia tangata.

6 Ko ia e whakaheke i ngā toto o te tangata,

mā te tangata anō ōna toto e whakaheke;

nō te Atua hoki te āhua

i hangā ai e ia te tangata.

7 Ā, ko koutou, kia hua, kia tini; kia nui tō koutou uri ki runga ki te whenua, kia tini hoki ki reira."

8 Ā, i kōrero te Atua ki a Noa rātou ko āna tama, i mea, 9 "Ko ahau nei, nanā, ka whakapūmau ahau i tāku kawenata ki a koutou, ki tō koutou uri i muri i a koutou, 10 ki ngā mea ora katoa hoki i a koutou, ki te manu, ki te kararehe, ki ngā kīrehe katoa hoki o te whenua e noho ana i a koutou; ki ngā mea katoa i puta mai i roto i te āka, puta noa ki ngā kīrehe katoa o te whenua. 11 Ā, ka whakapūmautia e ahau tāku kawenata ki a koutou; e kore e hātepea atu ngā kikokiko katoa ā muri ake nei e ngā wai o te waipuke; e kore anō e puta mai he waipuke ā muri ake nei hei whakangaro mō te whenua."

12 Ka mea te Atua, "Ko te tohu tēnei o te kawenata, e whakatakotoria nei e ahau ki waenganui ōku, o koutou tae atu ki ngā mea ora katoa i a koutou, mō ngā whakatupuranga mutungakore: 13 ka whakatakotoria e ahau tāku kōpere ki te kapua, ā, ka waiho hei tohu mō te kawenata i waenganui ōku, o te whenua. 14 Tēnei ake anō, i te wā e whakaputa ai ahau i te kapua ki runga ki te whenua, ka kitea te kōpere i te kapua, 15 ā, ka mahara ahau ki tāku kawenata i waenganui ōku, o koutou me ngā mea ora katoa, arā ngā kikokiko katoa; e kore ngā wai e pupuke ā muri ake nei hei whakangaro i ngā kikokiko katoa. 16 Ā, ka piri te kōpere ki te kapua; ā, ka titiro atu ahau ki taua mea, kia mahara ai ahau ki te kawenata mau tonu i waenganui o te Atua, o ngā wairua ora katoa o ngā kikokiko katoa runga i te whenua."

17 Nā, ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, "Ko te tohu tēnei o te kawenata e whakapūmautia nei e ahau ki waenganui ōku, o ngā kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua."

Noa me Āna Tama

18 Nā, ko ngā tama a Noa, i puta mai nei i roto i te āka, ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta; ā, ko Hama te matua o Kanāna. 19 Ko ngā tama tokotoru ēnei a Noa; ā, nā ēnei i kapi ai te whenua katoa.

20 Nā, ka tīmata a Noa te ngaki whenua, ā, whakatōkia ana e ia he māra wāina. 21 Ā, ka inumia e ia te wāina, ka haurangi; nā, ka takoto tahanga i roto i tōna tēneti. 22 Ā, i te kitenga o Hama, o te matua o Kanāna, i tōna matua e takoto tahanga ana, ka kōrerotia e ia ki ōna tuākana tokorua i waho. 23 Nā, ka tango a Hema rāua ko Iapeta i tētahi kākahu, makā iho e rāua ki runga ki ō rāua pokohiwi, nā, ka haere whakatuarā atu rāua, ā, hīpokina ana te wāhi takoto kau o tō rāua pāpā; me te ahu anō ō rāua kanohi ki muri, ā, kīhai rāua i kite i te wāhi takoto kau o tō rāua pāpā.

24 Nā, ka maranga ake a Noa i tāna wāina, ka mōhio ki tā tāna pōtiki i mea ai ki a ia. 25 Nā, ka mea ia,

"Ka kangā a Kanāna;

ka waiho ia hei tino pononga

mā ōna tuākana."

26 I mea anō ia,

"Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, te Atua o Hema;

ā, ka waiho a Kanāna hei pononga māna.

27 Ka meinga a Iapeta e te Atua kia tohatoha noa atu,

kia noho hoki ia ki ngā tēneti o Hema;

ā, hei pononga a Kanāna māna."

28 Ā, e toru rau e rima tekau ngā tau i ora ai a Noa i muri i te waipuke. 29 Ā, ko ngā rā katoa o Noa e iwa rau e rima tekau tau; ā, ka mate ia.
