Genesis 9 (OMB)

1Huqe Mauri mo vai tabetabegi Noa mei renetune, me nge mo veve lawera move, “Nein bamba na maresu vin sao huri nein horo lolo ureure.And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2A gangarue doluegi ram dige garu gaivesi mena lalangai manu ram olo, ngere ram taga lo tano me ige rain matagugi gimiu. Gineu ngere ngaha doluegi ram toga lo qaqai lime miu.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.

3Neu nam bete na gangarue lawe gimiu, gineu mwasogi vin voragi hinaga lawe gimiu mwere na gogotoa mena ririvue ngere nau betera lawe gimiu tomue.Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

4Hate huri nge tareve tarabehi mena nona mwasoana mena daine mo eno tau nein mese gani na gangarue hi.But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

5Hate huri nge tareve a gangarue vin wehi na tangaloi, vin mate neu nain wehe vin mate. Siu tareve a tangaloi mo wehi tuana neu nain wehe vin mate vage.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:

6Tareve hine mo vai na dain tangaloi mo hale mo mate, a tangaloi dolue vin ve na daine vin hale mo mate; huri lo nunui Huqe Mauri nge u vei na Tangaloi.Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

7Me niko, ko mwasigi na sao huri goin lumuhi na ureure me goin lulu lune.”But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

8Siu Huqe Mauri mo veve lawe Noa mei renetune ram ti meie.Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

9“Neu hingaha nam rarai ven nain teu na noku waratau siaga mei ko me mei renetumu lo tagumu vage.“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

10Me vatavataha na gineu mwaso ngere hilogo ram ti mei go, a gineu doluegi ram olo, a gangarue mwaomwao me lalangai gangarue turu, ngere rau mwelue dena akai toavaravara mei go, me vage a lalangai gangarue lolo ure.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.

11Me neu nain membu na noku waratau gogona siaga mei gimiu. Me mwasoana doluegi nain hi wehire tea gen wai taligu. Me a waga vin he ngahigi na ureure te taligu.”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.”

12Me i Huqe Mauri mo veve, “A gigilegi hingaha mena waratau siaga nain teue lo livugegu mei gimiu me mena vatavataha na gineu mwaso ngere ram ti mei gimiu me, lawe ra duvi miu ram vomai teu mosigei lolo taro mo vomai teu.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:

13Nau teu na noku hinmwehinmwe nain vei raraie lolo tainlengi ven na vuragi na gigilegi waratau siaga mena ureure.I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

14Tavohe nam lai na tainlengi sulo ului ureure me a hinmwehinmwe mo kalo lolo tainlengi,Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

15neu nain landobimbi na noku waratau siaga mo eno lo livugegu mei gimiu mena gineu mwaso doluegi huri ve vin hatie taligu a wai vin vuragi waga mo hale huri ve vin vei hasisigi na mwasoana doluegi.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.

16Vataha tarogi a hinmwehinmwe mo mwalue lolo tainlengi neu nain lehe me nain landobimbi na waratau siaga ngehi vin tuei hate duvigi mei eu siu mena gineu mwaso doluegi.”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.”

17Siu I Huqe Mauri mo veve lawe Noa, move “Nge ngaha a gigilegi waratau siaga nau teue lo livuge miu me vatavataha na gineu mwaso lolo ureure.”So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

18Renetui Noa ngere rau mwelue dena aka, i Sem, i Ham me i Savet. Siu i Ham nge i tamai Kenan.The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

19I Noa renetune ngere gaitolu doluegi me mo mawahewahe lolo ureure.These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

20Siu Noa nge a tangaloi ririvue lolo tano mo maraga mo rivu na talui garoi inuinu.Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

21Me nge mo maraga mo inu na wai garohi me inuinu hi mo vaie qatune mo dadaligi me nge mo lai vohogi na luqana lo livugei nona siusiu.But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.

22Siu Ham nge tamai Kenan mo leo hue na tarabehi tamana mo eno vurogi me nge mo vano mo vevea lawe retuana gairue rom ti varea.And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

23Siu Sem tona Savet rom lai na luqe me rom taue lo siqara ngere vunu me rom dige gena tagure rom gagavugi na tarabehi tamara nge mo eno vurogi. Me ngere nagora mo leo sivarea den tamara siu ngere rohe lehi na tarabehi tamara tea mo eno vurogi.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.

24Noa mo maraga dena mena inuinu me nge mo ilo tabetabegi na havagi netune tahigi u veie lawea.When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25Me Noa move, “Arahiana vin huri Kenan me nge vin voragi na gaihora noi retuana.”he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

26Me ngeie mo veve, “Tabeana lawe na Huqe Gogona noi Sem. Siu Kenan vin vuragi na nona gaihora.He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

27Siu i Huqe Mauri vin tagaragi na tanoi Savet vin lawua me vin siregi nie vin toga lolo siusiu noi Sem. Siu vin toga lolo siusiu noi Sem me Kenan vin voragi nona gaihora.”May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

28Noa toga lo tagui waga higao vudolue vaga tolu avigi ngavulu gailime.After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

29Noa u toga higao vudolue vagasiwo avigi ngavulu gailime vunu mobei mate.So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
