Genesis 9 (KOS)

1God El akinsewowoyal Noah ac wen tolu natul, ac fahk, “Kowos isusi, tuh fwilin tulik nutuwos fah puseni ac nwakla faclu nufon.And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2Kosro ac won ac ik nukewa ac fah moul in sangeng suwos. Ma inge nukewa ac fah oan ye ku lowos.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.

3Inge kowos ku in kang ma inge, oapana fokin ma kapak inima uh. Nga sot ma inge nukewa nu suwos kowos in mongo kac.Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

4Ma se na ma kowos fah tia kang uh pa ikwa ma srakna oasr srah kac, mweyen moul uh oasr ke srah uh.But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

5Kutena mwet su eisla moul lun sie pac mwet, ac fah anwuki el. Kutena kosro ma eisla moul lun sie mwet, kalya nu sel pa misa.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:

6Mwet uh orekla in luman God, ke ma inge kutena mwet su akmuseya sie mwet fah anwuki pac sin mwet.Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

7“Enenu in pukanten tulik nutuwos, tuh fwilin tulik nutuwos fah apunla fin faclu.”But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

8God El fahk nu sel Noah ac wen tolu natul,Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

9“Inge nga oru sie wulela inmasrlosr, ac oayapa yurin fwilin tulik nutuwos,“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

10ac yurin won nukewa ac kosro nukewa — ma nukewa ma wi kowos tufoki liki oak uh.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.

11Ke kas inge nga ac oru wulela luk yuruwos: nga wulela mu wangin sie pacl nga ac sifilpa kunausla ma su oasr moul la ke sronot. Faclu ac fah tia sifilpa kunausyukla ke sronot.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.”

12Pa inge mwe akpwaye nu ke wuleang kawil se su nga oru yuruwos ac yurin ma moul nukewa inge,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:

13nga filiya lelakem luk in pukunyeng uh. Ac fah mwe akul ke wuleang se inmasrlok ac faclu nufon nwe tok.I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

14Kutena pacl ma nga afinya kusrao ke pukunyeng ac lelakem uh sikyak,Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

15nga fah esam wuleang luk nu suwos ac nu sin kosro nukewa, lah sronot ac fah tia sifil kunausla ma nukewa ma oasr moul la.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.

16Pacl se lelakem uh sikyak in pukunyeng uh, nga ac fah liye ac esam wuleang kawil inmasrlok ac ma moul nukewa faclu.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.”

17Pa ingan akil lun wulela su nga oru nu sin ma oasr moul la nukewa.”So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

18Wen tolu natul Noah su tufoki liki oak uh pa Shem, Ham, ac Japheth. (Ham pa papa tumal Canaan.)The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

19Wen tolu natul Noah inge pa papa tumun mwet faclu nufon.These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

20Noah, su tuh sie mwet ima, pa mwet se oemeet ma tuh yukwiya ima in grape uh.Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

21Tukun el numla kutu wain uh, el sruhila, sarukla nuknuk lal, ac oan koflufolla in lohm nuknuk sel.But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.

22Ke Ham, papa tumal Canaan, el liyauk lah papa tumal el koflufolla oan, el illa ac fahkang nu sin tamulel luo wiel.And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

23Na Shem ac Japheth eis nuknuk loeloes se ac filiya finpisaltal. Eltal kohloli nu in lohm nuknuk sac ac afinya papa tumaltal. Mutaltal ngetla lukel tuh eltal in tia liye koflufol lal.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.

24Ke sruhi lal Noah uh sarla lukel ac el etauk ke ma wen se ma fusr natul el oru nu sel,When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25el fahk, “Sie selnga nu facl Canaan! El ac fah sie mwet kohs nu sin tamulel lal.he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

26Kaksakin LEUM GOD, God lal Shem! Canaan el ac fah mwet kohs lal Shem.He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

27God Elan akyokyelik acn lal Japheth! Lela fwilin tulik natul in puseni ac muta yurin mwet lal Shem. Canaan el ac fah mwet kohs lal Japheth.”May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

28Tukun sronot sac, Noah el moul yac tolfoko lumngaul,After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

29ac misa ke el yac eufoko lumngaul matwal.So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
