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 Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish 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 the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, and upon all wherewith the ground teemeth, and upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
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.
3Every moving thing that liveth shall be for food for you; as the green herb have I given you all.
4Ka ko e kakano ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae moʻui, ʻaia ko hono toto, ʻe ʻikai te mou kai ia.
4Only flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye 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.
5And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's 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.
6Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made He man.
7Pea ko kimoutolu, ke mou tupu, pea fakatokolahi mo fanafanau lahi ʻi he fonua, pea tupu ke tokolahi ʻi ai.”
7And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the earth, and multiply therein.'
8¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, pea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē,
8And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying:
9“Vakai, ko au, ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻeku fuakava kiate kimoutolu, mo homou hako ʻe tupu fakaholo;
9'As for Me, behold, I 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 creature that is with you, the fowl, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast 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.”
11And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy 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 token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature 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 have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.
14Pea ʻe pehē, “O kau ka ʻomi ʻae ʻao ki he fonua, ʻe hā mai ʻae ʻumata ʻi he ʻao:
14And it shall come to pass, when I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the cloud,
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.
15that I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become 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 cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that 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 unto Noah: 'This is the token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is 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 Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19Ko eni ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu ʻo Noa pea naʻe fakakakai ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻiate kinautolu.
19These three were the sons of Noah, and of these was the whole earth overspread.
20Pea naʻe kamata ʻa Noa ke tauhi ngoue, pea ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine:
20And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard.
21Pea inu ʻe ia ʻi he uaine, pea kona ai: pea naʻe telefua ia ʻi hono fale fehikitaki.
21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within 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.
22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told 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.
23And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, 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 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him.
25Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke malaʻia ʻa Kēnani. ʻE hoko ia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ki hono kāinga.”
25And he said: Cursed be Canaan; 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, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their 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.”
27God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.
28¶ Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Noa hili ʻae lōmaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungeau ma nimangofulu.
28And Noah 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 the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
