Genesis 9 (ZAJP)

1Mulungu kawamoteza Nuhu na wanage, mkuwalongela, “Leleni mkongezeke, mkaimemeze isi.And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2Wang'onyo wose, ndege wose, somba wose, na kila kilumbigwe kitembela muisi wowadumba mweye. Wose wekigwa mmakono genu.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.

3Kila kinhu kili na ugima kitembela muisi chowa mandia genu. Kamba viniwagwelele mboga, sambi nowagwelela kila kinhu.Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

4Nyama ili na mulopa mgati yake hamulondigwa kuija, kwavija ugima wa mmulopa.But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

5Nomkoma munhu yoyose yomkoma munhu iyagwe. Kamba mng'onyo yahamkoma munhu, na heyo kolondigwa yakomigwe, na munhu yoyose yomkoma miyage, na heyo kolondigwa yakomigwe.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:

6Munhu kalumbigwa muiningo ya Mulungu, avo munhu yoyose yomkoma munhu, na heyo kokomigwa na wanhu.Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

7“Leleni mkongezeke, mwenele muisi.”But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

8Abaho Mulungu kawalongela Nuhu na wanage,Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

9“Sambi nokwika lagano jangu na gweye na lukolo lwako,“Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

10na vinhu vose vili na ugima vikalile hamoja na gweye, ndege wose, wang'onyo wose wofugigwa, wang'onyo wose wa kumuhulo, na kila kinhu chuulawilenacho muisafina, kila kinhu kili na ugima kilumbigwe muisi.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.

11Nokwika lagano jangu na gweye, kamba vinhu vose vili na ugima havibanangigwa kabili na ummemelo wa mazi. Na ummemelo wa mazi hauubananga kabili iisi.”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.”

12Abaho Mulungu kalonga, “Kino kicho kilaguso cha lagano dinitenda na gweye na kila kilumbigwe kili na ugima, lagano sama ya milelo yose ikwiza,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:

13nokwika pindamulungu jangu muna gamawingu. Dowa kilaguso cha lagano jangu na ulumwengu.I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

14Kipigiti nihaugubika ulanga na mawingu, pindamulungu dolawila mmawingu,Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

15donitenda nikikumbukile kilagano changu kinitendile na gweye na vinhu vose vilumbigwe vili na ugima va namna zose. Mmemelo wa mazi hauvibananga kabili vinhu vose vili na ugima.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.

16Kipigiti pindamulungu dihakoneka muna gamawingu, nojona na kukumbukila lagano jangu da digunge hagatigati yangu na vinhu vose vili na ugima vili muisi.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.”

17Kino kicho kilaguso cha lagano dinitendile hagatigati yangu na vinhu vose vili na ugima.”So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

18Wanage Nuhu walawile hanze ya isafina wakala Shemu, Hamu, na Yafeti. Hamu kakala tata wa Kanaani.The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

19Wana wano wadatu wa Nuhu wakala wahenga wa wanhu wose wali muisi.These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

20Nuhu, ayo yakalile mulimi, kakala munhu wa ichanduso kuhanda mizabibu.Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

21Nuhu kang'wa ugimbi, kakoligwa, kawasa mwazi mdihema jake.But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.

22Hamu, tata wa Kanaani, viyonile kamba tataake kakala mwazi, kalawa hanze kawalongela wakulu zake.And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

23Abaho Shemu na Yafeti wasola kivalo na kukibasika mmaega gao. Abaho wabwela kisengelenyuma na kumgubika tataao. Wakala wavihinduse vihanga vao giladi sambiwone mwazi wa tataao.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.

24Ugimbi vuumsegele, Nuhu kalamuka na kukitanga kija mwanage mdodo kiyamtendele,When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25kalonga, “Yadukumizwe Kanaani! Kowa nyakadala wa nyakadala ha ndugu zake.he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

26Yatogolwe MNDEWA, Mulungu wa Shemu! Kanaani yawe nyakadala wa Shemu.He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

27Mulungu yautanule undewa wa Yafeti! Yafeti yakale mdihema da Shemu! Kanaani yawe nyakadala wa Yafeti.”May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

28Vuwishile ummemelo wa igamazi, Nuhu kakala milao mia ndatu na malongo matanoAfter the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

29abaho kadanganhika kuno yali na milao mia tisa na malongo matano.So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
