Genesis 9 (GOFL)

1Xoossay Nohenne iya adde nayta haysada yaagidi anjis; “Yeletite, darite, sa7a ubbaa kumite.And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2Sa7aa do7ati, salo kafoti, biittan woxi qaaxiyabaynne abban de7iya moloti ubbay hintew yashshaninne dagaman de7o. Enti hintew haareto.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.

3Taani doliya dumma dumma cil7obata hintew immidaysada, de7oy de7iya woxi qaaxiya medhetetha ubbay hintew kathi gidana mela immas.Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

4Shin shempoy giddon de7iya gisho suuthi iya giddon de7iya asho moopite.But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

5Oonika shempo wodhiday pirdetana. Qassi asa suuthi gussiya do7aka hayqon pirdana.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:

6Xoossay ase bana daanisidi medhida gisho, asa suuthi gussiya oona gidikoka iya suuthayka asa kushen gukana.Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

7Hinte yeletite, darite, hinte sheeshayka sa7a bolla daro” yaagis.But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

8Hessafe guye, Xoossay Nohenne iyara de7iya iya adde nayta haysada yaagis;Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

9“Hiza, taani ta caaquwa hintera, hinte sheesharanne de7oy de7iya medhetetha ubbaara caaqayis.“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

10Taani ta caaquwa kafotara, mehiyara, sa7a do7a ubbaaranne, markabiyape hintera keyida, de7oy de7iya medhetetha ubbara caaqayis.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.

11Taani hintera caaqidaysa mela hizape de7oy de7iya medhetethati dhayo haathan dhayokona; ha sa7aaka zaari dhayo haathi dhaysena” yaagis.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.”

12Qassika Xoossay, “Taani taapenne hintefe, de7oy de7iya medhetetha ubbaafe giddon caaqiya caaquwa mallay haysa;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:

13Taani ta zuulla shaaran essas. I taapenne sa7a bolla de7iya medhetetha giddon de7iya caaquwas malla gidana.I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

14Ta saluwa shaara mayzida wodenne shaaran zuulli eqida wode,Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

15taapenne hintefe giddon, de7oy de7iya dumma dumma medhetetha ubbaafe giddon caaqida ta caaquwa akeekana. De7oy de7iya medhetetha ubbaa dhaysanaw hizape guye dhayo haathi yeenna.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.

16Zuulli shaaran eqida wode ta iya be7ada taapenne sa7a bolla de7iya dumma dumma medhetetha ubbaafe giddon caaqida merina caaquwa akeekana” yaagis.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.”

17Xoossay Nohe, “Taani taapenne sa7a bolla de7oy de7iyaba ubbaafe giddon caaqida caaquwa mallay haysa” yaagis.So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

18Markabiyape keyida Nohe adde nayti Seema, Kaamanne Yaafeta; Kaami Kanaane aawa.The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

19Ha heedzati Nohe nayta; sa7a ubban de7iya asay entafe yeletidosona.These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

20Nohey goshshancho; I woyne tokethan koyro asi.Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

21Issi gallas Nohey he woyniyape uyidi mathotidi ba dunkaaniya giddon xire kallo zin7is.But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.

22Kanaane aawa Kaami ba aawa kalluwa be7idi, kare keyidi, ba nam7u ishatas odis.And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

23Shin Seeminne Yaafeti afila ekidi, nam7ayka banta hashiyara hashiyara gathi oykidi, guye guthu hemeti gelidi, banta aawa kalluwa kammidosona. Enti banta aawa kalluwa be7oona mela banta ayfiya haraso zaaridosona.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.

24Nohey mathoy aadhin, barkidi, iya kaalo na7ay oothidaba eris.When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25Nohey iyako, “Kanaaney baadetidaba gido! I ba ishatas wursetha aylle gido” yaagis.he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

26Qassika Nohey, “Goday, Seema Xoossay galatetto! Kanaaney Seema aylle gido;He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

27Xoossay Yaafeta biitta aasso. Yaafeta sheeshay Seema sheeshara wolla de7onna; Kanaaney Yaafeta aylle gido” yaagis.May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

28Dhayo haathaafe guye, Nohey heedzu xeetanne ishatamu laythi de7is.After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

29Nohey uddufun xeetanne ishatamu laythi de7idi hayqis.So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
