1 S o God blessed 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 of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given 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. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.

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 its life, that is, its blood.

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

5 S urely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.

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 “ Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall 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 as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth And multiply in 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 “ And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant 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: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast 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 T hus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

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 sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual 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 rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant 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 I t shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;

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 a nd I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

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 T he rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on 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 sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” Noah and His Sons

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 N ow the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And 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 three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.

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

20 A nd Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.

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

21 T hen he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered 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, 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 B ut Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, 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 S o Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger 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 T hen he said: “Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren.”

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

26 A nd he said: “Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem, And may 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 may he dwell in the tents of Shem; And may 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 three hundred and fifty years.

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

29 S o all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

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