Genesis 9 (GAX)

1Waaqi Nohii fi ilmaan isaa eebbisee, «Hora'aa, heddadha'a, lafa guuta'a!And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2Bineensoti lafa irraa marti, sinbirrooti marti, bineensoti lafa irra lowanu marti, qurxummiin abbaaya'aa marti, isin sodaatanee bararaqanuu ti; isaan harka keessanitti kennamaneeran.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.

3Wonni jiraatee tacho'u martinuu sagalee isiniif te'anuu ti. Akkuma duri biqiltuu magariisa akka sagalee isiniif te'anu kenne, amma waan kana mara sagalee akka isiniif te'anu kenneera.Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

4Ammoo jiruun dhiiga keessa waan jirtuuf, foon dhiigi keessa jiru ammalle hin nyaatina'a.But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

5Ani lubbuu teessan eegiisaaf, dhiiga keessan harka nama nama san ijjeeseetii fi bineensa nama san ijjeesee irraa hin barbaada.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«Ani Waaqi akka bifa tiyyaatitti, nama waan dadeef, nami dhiiga namaa dhangalaasu dhiigi isaa harka namaatiin hin dhangalaafama.Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

7«Isin hora'a, heddadha'a, bacadha'aa lafa guuta'a!» jedhe.But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

8Achiin duuba Waaqi Nohii fi ilmaan isaa ta isa woliin jirtuun,Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

9«Kunoo ani isinii fi sanyii teessan worra isiniin duubaa woliin gondooroo tiyya hin gondoora;“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

10akkasuma dada lubbuu qabu ka isin woliin jiru mara, sinbirroota mara, horii mara, bineensota mara, waan isin woliin hoboloo guddittii san keessaa bayane mara woliin gondooroo tiyya hin gondoora.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.

11Ani ijjumaa dada lubbuu qabu bisaan badi'iitiin lafa irraa deebi'ee akka hin balleessineef, bisaan badi'ii ijjumaa deebi'ee lafa akka hin balleessine, ani isin woliin gondooroo tiyya hin gondoora.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.”

12Gondooroo ani isinii fi dada lubbuu qabu ka isin woliin jiruuf, dhaloota dhufu maralle'ee gondoore tanaaf beessisa kana kenna: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:

13ani hiituu tiyya duumensa keessa keya; hiituun tunille beessisa Gondooroo anaa fi biyyaa lafaa oddu'utti te'e hin teeti.I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

14Yennaa ani gubbaa duumensaan gollee, hiituun duumensa keessaan mudhattu,Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

15ani gondooroo tiyya ta isinii fi dada lubbuu qabu mara woliin gondoore hin qaabadha; bisaan badi'ii dada lubbuu qabu mara deebi'ee ijjumaa hin balleessu.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.

16Yennaa hiituun duumensa keessaan mudhattu, ani isii ilaalee, gondooroo haga bara baraa ta anaa fi dada lubbuu qabu ka lafa irra jiru mara oddu'utti gondoore hin qaabadha» jedhe.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.”

17Waaqi Nohiin, «Beessisi gondooro'oo ka ani ifii fi dada lubbuu qabu ka lafa irra jiru mara oddu'utti gondoore hiituu tana» jedhe.So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

18Nohii fi ilmaan isaa ta hoboloo guddittii keessaa baate Seem, Kaamii fi Yaafet. Kaam abbaa Kana'aanii ti.The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

19Isaan sadiin kun ilmaan Nohii ti; kolbaan lafa irraa duudiinuu ilmaan sadiin tana irraa dhutte.These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

20Nohi, nama lafa qotu, ka woynii dhaabiisa jalqabe.Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

21Gaafa tokko inni yennaa daadhii woyni'ii unee machowe, qullaa dunkaanii ifii keessa rafe.But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.

22Abbaan Kana'aanii, Kaam, abbaa ifii qullaa jiruun dhaggee, alatti obboleeyyan ifii lamatti hime.And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

23Achiin duuba Seemii fi Yaafet woyaa fuudhanee gurmuu ifii lamaan irra buufatanee, dudda duubaan deemanee nafa abbaa isaanii qullaa san dhossane; fuulli isaanii irraa waan garagaleeruuf, nafa qullaa abbaa ifii san hin dhaggine.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.

24Nohi machii yennaa bayyanate, waan ilmi isaa maandhichi isa irratti godhe beekee,When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25«Kana'aan ka abaarame te'uu ti; garbicha garboota obboleeyyan ifii te'uu ti» jedhe.he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

26Nohi ammalle, «Mootiin Waan Maraa Waaqi Seemii, leellifamuu ti; Kana'aan garbicha Seemii te'uu ti.He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

27Waaqi biyya Yaafetii badhisuu ti! Yaafet dunkaanii Seemii keessa le'uu ti; Kana'aan garbicha Yaafetiille te'uu ti» jedhe.May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

28Bisaan badi'iitiin duuba Nohi woggaa dhibba sadii fi shantama le'e.After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

29Inni wolumatti woggaa dhibba sagalii fi shantama le'ee, achiin duuba du'e.So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
