1Pea naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Noa mo hono ngaahi foha, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou tupu, mo fakatokolahi, pea fakakakai ʻa māmani.
1And God blessed Noe and his sons. And he said to them: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth.
2Pea ʻe ʻi he fanga manu kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻae manavahē mo e ilifia kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻi he fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he fonua, pea ki he ngaahi ika kotoa pē ʻoe tahi; kuo tuku kotoa pē ki homou nima.
2And let the fear and dread of you be upon all the beasts of the earth, and upon all the fowls of the air, and all that move upon the earth: all the fishes of the sea are delivered into your hand.
3Ko e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue, ko hoʻo mou meʻakai ia; ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau mata kuo u foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
3And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:
4Ka ko e kakano ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae moʻui, ʻaia ko hono toto, ʻe ʻikai te mou kai ia.
4Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
5He ko e moʻoni, teu ʻekeʻi ʻae toto ʻa hoʻomou moʻui; teu ʻekeʻi ia ʻi he nima ʻoe fanga manu kotoa pē; pea mei he nima ʻoe tangata; teu ʻekeʻi ʻae moʻui ʻae tangata mei he nima ʻoe kāinga ʻoe tangata kotoa pē.
5For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man.
6Ko ia ʻoku lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe tangata, ʻe lilingi hono toto ʻe he tangata: he naʻe ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi he tatau ʻoe ʻOtua.
6Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God.
7Pea ko kimoutolu, ke mou tupu, pea fakatokolahi mo fanafanau lahi ʻi he fonua, pea tupu ke tokolahi ʻi ai.”
7But increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it.
8¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē,
8Thus also said God to Noe, and to his sons with him,
9“Vakai, ko au, ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava kiate kimoutolu, mo homou hako ʻe tupu fakaholo;
9Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:
10Pea ki he ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻae fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu lalata, mo e fanga manu vao kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu; ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu atu mei he vaka, pea mo e fanga manu vao kotoa pē ʻe ʻi he fonua.
10And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.
11Pea te u fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava mo kimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻikai toe motuhi ʻae kakano kotoa pē ʻe he ngaahi vai ʻo ha lōmaki; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha lōmaki ke fakaʻauha ʻa māmani.”
11I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth.
12Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, “Ko eni ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe fuakava kuo u fai mo kimoutolu mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ki he ngaahi toʻutangata taʻetuku:
12And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
13ʻOku ou ai ʻeku ʻumata ʻi he ʻao, pea ʻe fakaʻilonga ʻaki ia ʻae fuakava ʻiate au mo māmani.”
13I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me, and between the earth.
14Pea ʻe pehē, “O kau ka ʻomi ʻae ʻao ki he fonua, ʻe hā mai ʻae ʻumata ʻi he ʻao:
14And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:
15Pea te u manatu ki heʻeku fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fai mo kimoutolu mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē; pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ʻae ngaahi vai, ko e lōmaki ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakano kotoa pē.
15And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
16Pea ʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻae ʻumata; pea te u vakai ki ai, koeʻuhi ke u manatu ki he fuakava taʻengata ʻae ʻOtua mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
16And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.
17Pea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Noa, “Ko eni ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻiate au mo e kakano kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.”
17And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.
18¶ Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Noa, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu mei he vaka, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti: pea ko Hami ko e tamai ʻa Kēnani.
18And the sons of Noe who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.
19Ko eni ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo Noa pea naʻe fakakakai ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻiate kinautolu.
19These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.
20Pea naʻe kamata ʻa Noa ke tauhi ngoue, pea ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine:
20And Noe, a husbandman, began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.
21Pea inu ʻe ia ʻi he uaine, pea kona ai: pea naʻe telefua ia ʻi hono fale fehikitaki.
21And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.
22Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Hami, ko e tamai ʻa Kēnani, ki he telefua ʻo ʻene tamai, pea tala ʻe ia ki hono ongo tokoua ʻituʻa.
22Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father’s nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.
23Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Semi mo Sefeti ʻae kofu, pea na ai ia ki hona uma, pea naʻa na fakaholomui, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻae telefua ʻo ʻena tamai, pea naʻe hanga kimui hona mata, pea naʻe ʻikai mamata ʻekinaua ki he telefua ʻo ʻena tamai.
23But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24Pea naʻe ʻā ʻa Noa mei heʻene uaine, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe fai kiate ia ʻe hono foha kimui.
24And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,
25Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke malaʻia ʻa Kēnani. ʻE hoko ia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ki hono kāinga.”
25He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke monūʻia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo Semi; pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kēnani ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
26And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.
27E fakalahi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sefeti, pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Semi; pea ʻe hoko ʻa Kēnani ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki.”
27May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.
28¶ Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Noa hili ʻae lōmaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungeau ma nimangofulu.
28And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years:
29Pea naʻe hivangeau ma nimangofulu taʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Noa: pea pekia ia.
29And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
