1 A nd God pronounced a blessing upon Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

Na ka manaakitia a Noa ratou ko ana tama e te Atua. I mea ia ki a ratou, Kia hua, kia tini koutou, kia kapi ano hoki te whenua i a koutou.

2 A nd the fear of you and the dread and terror of you shall be upon every beast of the land, every bird of the air, all that creeps upon the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are delivered into your hand.

A ko to koutou wehi, ko to koutou whakamataku, ka tau ki runga ki nga kirehe katoa o te whenua, ki nga manu katoa o te rangi, ki nga mea katoa e ngahue ana i runga i te whenua, ki nga ika katoa ano hoki o te moana; kua hoatu ena mea ki to koutou ringa.

3 E very moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green vegetables and plants, I give you everything.

Hei kai ma koutou nga mea korikori katoa, nga mea ora; rite tonu ki taku hoatutanga i nga otaota matomato taku hoatutanga i nga mea katoa ki a koutou.

4 B ut you shall not eat flesh with the life of it, which is its blood.

Otiia kaua e kainga e koutou te kikokiko me tona ora, ara ko ona toto.

5 A nd surely for your lifeblood I will require an accounting; from every beast I will require it; and from man, from every man I will require a reckoning.

Na ko o koutou toto, ko te toto e ora nei koutou, he pono ka rapua e ahau he utu; ka rapua e ahau he utu i nga kirehe katoa; i te tangata ano hoki, ka rapua e ahau he utu mo te matenga o te tangata i te teina o ia tangata, o ia tangata.

6 W hoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God He made man.

Ko ia e whakaheke i nga toto o te tangata, ma te tangata ano ona toto e whakaheke: no te Atua hoki te ahua i hanga ai e ia te tangata.

7 A nd you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply on it.

A ko koutou, kia hua, kia tini; kia nui to koutou uri ki runga kite whenua, kia tini hoki ki reira.

8 T hen God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

A i korero te Atua ki a Noa ratou ko ana tama, i mea,

9 B ehold, I establish My covenant or pledge with you and with your descendants after you

Ko ahau nei, nana, ka whakapumau ahau i taku kawenata ki a koutou, ki to koutou uri i muri i a koutou;

10 A nd with every living creature that is with you—whether the birds, the livestock, or the wild beasts of the earth along with you, as many as came out of the ark—every animal of the earth.

Ki nga mea ora katoa hoki i a koutou, ki te manu, ki te kararehe, ki nga kirehe katoa hoki o te whenua e noho ana i a koutou; ki nga mea katoa i puta mai i roto i te aaka, puta noa ki nga kirehe katoa o te whenua.

11 I will establish My covenant or pledge with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood; neither shall there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth and make it corrupt.

A ka whakapumautia e ahau taku kawenata ki a koutou; e kore e hatepea atu nga kikokiko katoa a muri ake nei e nga wai o te waipuke; e kore ano e puta mai he waipuke a muri ake nei hei whakangaro mo te whenua.

12 A nd God said, This is the token of the covenant (solemn pledge) which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:

Ka mea te Atua, Ko te tohu tenei o te kawenata, e whakatakotoria nei e ahau ki waenganui oku, o koutou tae atu ki nga mea ora katoa i a koutou, mo nga whakatupuranga mutungakore:

13 I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be a token or sign of a covenant or solemn pledge between Me and the earth.

Ka whakatakotoria e ahau taku kopere ki te kapua, a ka waiho hei tohu mo te kawenata i waenganui oku, o te whenua.

14 A nd it shall be that when I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds,

Tenei ake ano, i te wa e whakaputa ai ahau i te kapua ki runga ki te whenua, ka kitea te kopere i te kapua:

15 I will remember My covenant or solemn pledge which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy and make all flesh corrupt.

A ka mahara ahau ki taku kawenata i waenganui oku, o koutou me nga mea ora katoa, ara nga kikokiko katoa; e kore nga wai e pupuke a muri ake nei hei whakangaro i nga kikokiko katoa.

16 W hen the bow is in the clouds and I look upon it, I will remember the everlasting covenant or pledge between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

A ka piri te kopere ki te kapua; a ka titiro atu ahau ki taua mea, kia mahara ai ahau ki te kawenata mau tonu i waenganui o te Atua, o nga wairua ora katoa o nga kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.

17 A nd God said to Noah, This is the token or sign of the covenant or solemn pledge which I have established between Me and all flesh upon the earth.

Na ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, Ko te tohu tenei o te kawenata e whakapumautia nei e ahau ki waenganui oku, o nga kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.

18 T he sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.

Na ko nga tama a Noa, i puta mai nei i roto i te aaka, ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta: a ko Hama te matua o Kanaana.

19 T hese are the three sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was overspread and stocked with inhabitants.

Ko nga tama tokotoru enei a Noa: a na enei i kapi ai te whenua katoa.

20 A nd Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.

Na ka timata a Noa te ngaki whenua, a whakatokia ana e ia he mara waina:

21 A nd he drank of the wine and became drunk, and he was uncovered and lay naked in his tent.

A ka inumia e ia te waina, ka haurangi; na ka takoto tahanga i roto i tona teneti.

22 A nd Ham, the father of Canaan, glanced at and saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.

A, i te kitenga o Hama, o te matua o Kanaana, i tona matua e takoto tahanga ana, ka korerotia e ia ki ona tuakana tokorua i waho.

23 S o Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon the shoulders of both, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

Na ka tango a Hema raua ko Iapeta i tetahi kakahu, maka iho e raua ki runga ki o raua pokohiwi, na ka haere whakatuara atu raua, a hipokina ana te wahi takoto kau o to raua papa; me te ahu ano o raua kanohi ki muri, a kihai raua i kite i te wahi takoto kau o to raua papa.

24 W hen Noah awoke from his wine, and knew the thing which his youngest son had done to him,

Na ka maranga ake a Noa i tana waina, ka mohio ki ta tana potiki i mea ai ki a ia.

25 H e exclaimed, Cursed be Canaan! He shall be the servant of servants to his brethren!

Na ka mea ia, Ka kanga a Kanaana, ka waiho ia hei tino pononga ma ona tuakana.

26 H e also said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem! And blessed by the Lord my God be Shem! And let Canaan be his servant.

I mea ano ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Hema; a ka waiho a Kanaana hei pononga mana.

27 M ay God enlarge Japheth; and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.

Ka meinga a Iapeta e te Atua kia tohatoha noa atu, kia noho hoki ia ki nga teneti o Hema; a hei pononga a Kanaana mana.

28 A nd Noah lived after the flood 350 years.

A e toru rau e rima tekau nga tau i ora ai a Noa i muri i te waipuke.

29 A ll the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.

A ko nga ra katoa o Noa e iwa rau e rima tekau tau: a ka mate ia.
