Genesis 9 – NIV & GKY

New International Version

Genesis 9:1-29

God’s Covenant With Noah

1Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. 3Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

4“But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.

6“Whoever sheds human blood,

by humans shall their blood be shed;

for in the image of God

has God made mankind.

7As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”

8Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9“I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12And 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: 13I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

17So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

The Sons of Noah

18The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) 19These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.

20Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded9:20 Or soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. 21When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. 23But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.

24When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25he said,

“Cursed be Canaan!

The lowest of slaves

will he be to his brothers.”

26He also said,

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!

May Canaan be the slave of Shem.

27May God extend Japheth’s9:27 Japheth sounds like the Hebrew for extend. territory;

may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,

and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”

28After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.

Ndĩmĩrĩhanĩrie o na kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ o na ĩrĩkũ. Nake mũndũ angĩita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ, o nake nĩakarĩhio thakame ĩyo.

69:6 Math 26:52; Kĩam 1:26“Mũndũ o wothe ũgaita thakame ya mũndũ ũngĩ,

79:7 Kĩam 1:22No inyuĩ-rĩ, ciaranai na mũingĩhe; muongerereke thĩ na mũiyũre kuo.”

8Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu hamwe na ariũ ake atĩrĩ, 99:9 Kĩam 6:18“Rĩu niĩ nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ, na njiaro cianyu iria igooka thuutha wanyu, 10o na hamwe na kĩũmbe gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo kĩa iria mũraarĩ nacio; nĩcio nyoni, na mahiũ o na nyamũ cia gĩthaka ciothe iria cioimire thabina hamwe na inyuĩ, ici nĩcio ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ. 119:11 Isa 24:5Nĩndathondeka kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na inyuĩ: Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ muoyo wothe ũkaaniinwo na mũiyũro wa maaĩ; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ gũkaagĩa mũiyũro wa maaĩ wa kũniina thĩ.”

129:12 Kĩam 17:11Ningĩ Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndĩrarĩkanĩra na inyuĩ na ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo irĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa njiarwa ciothe iria igooka: 139:13 Kũg 4:3Nĩndekĩra mũkũnga-mbura wakwa matu-inĩ, na nĩguo ũgũtuĩka kĩmenyithia gĩa kĩrĩkanĩro gatagatĩ gakwa na andũ a thĩ. 14Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngaarehe matu igũrũ rĩa thĩ, naguo mũkũnga-mbura woneke matu-inĩ macio, 159:15 Alaw 26:42, 45; Ezek 16:60nĩndĩĩririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gatagatĩ kanyu na niĩ, na gatagatĩ ga ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe iria itũũraga muoyo.

Ariũ a Nuhu

189:18 Luk 3:36Ariũ a Nuhu arĩa moimire thabina maarĩ Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu. (Hamu nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Kaanani). 19Acio atatũ nĩo maarĩ ariũ a Nuhu, na kuuma kũrĩ o gũkiuma andũ arĩa othe maahurunjirwo thĩ yothe.

20Nuhu aarĩ mũrĩmi, na nĩahaandire mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ. 21Rĩrĩa aanyuire ndibei ya mĩthabibũ ĩyo, akĩrĩĩo, na agĩkoma thĩinĩ wa hema yake atehumbĩrĩte. 229:22 Hab 2:15Hamu, ithe wa Kaanani, nĩonire njaga ya ithe, na akĩĩra ariũ a nyina eerĩ arĩa maarĩ nja. 23No Shemu na Jafethu makĩoya nguo makĩigĩrĩra ciande; magĩthiĩ na kĩĩhutaatĩ, makĩhumbĩra njaga ya ithe. Mothiũ mao maahũgũkĩte na kũngĩ nĩguo matikoone njaga ya ithe wao.

24Rĩrĩa Nuhu aarĩĩũkirwo na akĩmenya ũrĩa mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini aamwĩkĩte-rĩ, 259:25 Kĩam 9:18; Kĩam 25:23akiuga atĩrĩ,

“Kaanani aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi!

Agaatuĩka ngombo ya kũhinyĩrĩrio biũ nĩ ariũ a nyina.”

26Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ,

“Jehova arogaathwo, o we Ngai wa Shemu!

Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo ya Shemu.

279:27 Aef 2:14-16Ngai aroaramia mĩhaka ya Jafethu;

Jafethu arotũũra hema-inĩ cia Shemu,

na Kaanani arotuĩka ngombo yake.”

28Thuutha wa mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũthira-rĩ, Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka magana matatũ na mĩrongo ĩtano. 29Mĩaka yothe ĩrĩa Nuhu aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka magana kenda na mĩrongo ĩtano, agĩcooka agĩkua.
