1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Mungu akambariki Nuhu na wanawe, akawaambia, Zaeni, mkaongezeke, mkaijaze nchi.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Kila mnyama wa katika nchi atawaogopa ninyi na kuwahofu, na kila ndege wa angani: pamoja na vitu vyote vilivyojaa katika ardhi, na samaki wote wa baharini; vimetiwa mikononi mwenu.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Kila kiendacho kilicho hai kitakuwa chakula chenu, kama nilivyowapa mboga za majani, kadhalika nawapeni hivi vyote.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Bali nyama pamoja na uhai, yaani, damu yake, msile.
5 And 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; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
Hakika damu yenu ya uhai wenu nitaitaka; na kwa mkono wa kila mnyama nitaitaka; na kwa mkono wa mwanadamu, kwa mkono wa ndugu ya mtu nitataka uhai wa mwanadamu.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Atakayemwaga damu ya mwanadamu, damu yake huyo itamwagwa na mwanadamu, maana kwa mfano wake Mungu alimfanya mwanadamu.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Nanyi zaeni, mkaongezeke; zaeni sana katika nchi, mkaongezeke ndani yake.

8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Mungu akamwambia Nuhu, na wanawe pamoja naye, akisema,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
Mimi, tazama, nalithibitisha agano langu nanyi; tena na uzao wenu baada yenu;
10 and with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
tena na kila kiumbe hai kilichoko pamoja nanyi, ndege, na mnyama wa kufugwa, na kila mnyama wa mwitu katika nchi pamoja nanyi; wote wanaotoka katika safina, hata kila kilicho hai katika nchi.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Na agano langu nitalithibitisha nanyi; wala kila chenye mwili hakitafutwa tena kwa maji ya gharika; wala hakutakuwa tena gharika, baada ya hayo, kuiharibu nchi.
12 And 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:
Mungu akasema, Hii ndiyo ishara ya agano nifanyalo kati yangu na ninyi, na kila kiumbe hai kilichoko pamoja nanyi, kwa vizazi vyote hata milele;
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Mimi nauweka upinde wangu winguni, nao utakuwa ni ishara ya agano kati yangu na nchi.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Hata itakuwa nikitanda mawingu juu ya nchi, upinde utaonekana winguni,
15 and 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.
nami nitalikumbuka agano langu, lililoko kati yangu na ninyi, na kila kiumbe hai katika wote wenye mwili, wala maji hayatakuwa gharika tena kuwaharibu wote wenye mwili.
16 And 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.
Basi huo upinde utakuwa winguni; nami nitauangalia nipate kulikumbuka agano la milele lililoko kati ya Mungu na kila kiumbe hai katika wote wenye mwili kilichoko katika nchi.
17 And 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.
Mungu akamwambia Nuhu, Hii ndiyo ishara ya agano nililoliweka kati yangu na wote wenye mwili walioko katika nchi.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Wana wa Nuhu waliotoka katika safina, ni Shemu, na Hamu, na Yafethi; na Hamu ndiye baba wa Kanaani.
19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
Hawa watatu walikuwa wana wa Nuhu na kwa hao nchi yote ikaenea watu.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
Nuhu akaanza kuwa mkulima, akapanda mizabibu;
21 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
akanywa divai, akalewa; akawa uchi katika hema yake.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Hamu, baba wa Kanaani, akauona uchi wa baba yake, akawaeleza ndugu zake wawili waliokuwa nje.
23 And 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.
Shemu na Yafethi wakatwaa vazi, wakalitanda mabegani mwao wote wawili, wakaenda kinyumenyume, wakaufunika uchi wa baba yao; na nyuso zao zilielekea nyuma, wala hawakuuona uchi wa baba yao.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
Nuhu akalevuka katika ulevi wake, akajua mwana wake mdogo alivyomtendea.
25 And he said,
Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Akasema, Na alaaniwe Kaanani; Atakuwa mtumwa kabisa kwa ndugu zake.
26 And he said,
Blessed be the LORD God of Shem;
And Canaan shall be his servant.
Akasema, Na atukuzwe Bwana, Mungu wa Shemu; Na kaanani awe mtumwa wake.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth,
And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem;
And Canaan shall be his servant.
Mungu akamnafisishe Yafethi, Na akae katika hema za Shemu; Na kaanani awe mtumwa wake.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Na Nuhu akaishi baada ya ile gharika miaka mia tatu na hamsini.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Siku zote za Nuhu zilikuwa miaka mia kenda na hamsini, akafa.
