1Tswv Ntuj foom hmoov zoo rau Nos Hes thiab rau nws cov tub, nws hais rau lawv tias “Nej yeej meem tsim noob, kav tsij huam vam mus puv lub ntiaj teb. 2Tas puas tsav yam tsiaj hauv ntiaj teb, puas tsav yam noog ya saum ntuj. Puas tsav yam tsiaj nkag hauv av thiab puas tsav yam ntses hauv hiav txwv, sawv daws yuav hwm nej thiab ntshai nej. Lawv nyob hauv nej lub xib teg tas huv si. 3Txhua yam txawj ua zog thiab muaj sia yog txhiam xws rau nej noj. Kuv tseem muab cov nroj ntsuab thiab txhua tsav puas yam tas tib si rau nej siv. 4Tab sis cov nqaij nrog nws txoj sia, uas yog cov ntshav, mas nej tsis txhob noj. 5Vim hais tias, kuv yuav nug txog nej txhua tus cov ntshav, kuv yuav nug ntawm tsiaj thiab ntawm neeg. Yuav nug ib tug txog lwm tus cov ntshav, kuv yuav nug txog tib neeg txoj sia. 6Leej twg txo neeg cov ntshav, nws cov ntshav yuav raug neeg txo thiab, vim hais tias Tswv Ntuj tsim neeg los zoo xws li nws tus duab. 7Nej yeej meem tsim noob, yeej meem huam vam coob puv ntiaj teb thiab kav ntiaj teb.”
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand. 3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you. 4 But flesh with its life, that is, its blood, you shall not eat. 5 I will surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man. 6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image. 7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8Tswv Ntuj hais li no rau Nos Hes thiab rau nws cov tub 9“Ntawm no, kuv nrog nej cog lus cia,[i] thiab nrog nej caj ces puag tom qab, 10nrog txhua yam uas muaj txoj sia: cov noog, cov tsiaj nyeg, txhua tsav txhua hom tsiaj hauv ntiaj teb uas nrog koj tawm hauv lub nkoj los, txhua hom tsiaj nyob hauv ntiaj teb. 11Kuv cog lus rau nej tias: Tas puas tsav yam muaj sia yuav tsis raug dej nyab rhuav siav kom tu noob ib zaug ntxiv. Yuav tsis muaj dej los nyab thiab rhuav ntiaj teb ib zaug ntxiv lawm.” 12Tswv Ntuj hais tias “Lub cim no yuav qhia rau cov tiam neeg tom ntej paub tias kuv tau nrog nej thiab tas puas tsav yam muaj sia uas nrog nej muaj sia cog lus: 13Kuv ua zaj sawv rau saum cov huab, thiab nws yuav ua lub cim nco txog tias kuv thiab lub ntiaj teb tau cog lus cia lawm. 14Thaum kuv sau cov huab los ncaj rau saum lub ntiaj teb thiab pom zaj sawv saum cov huab, 15kuv yuav nco dheev txog kuv cov lus cog rau koj thiab rau tas puas tsav yam muaj lub cev nqaij, ces dej yuav tsis hlob thiab tsis nyab tas puas tsav yam muaj sia ib zaug ntxiv. 16Thaum muaj zaj sawv saum cov huab, kuv yuav pom thiab yuav nco txog tias Tswv Ntuj nrog txhua tsav puas yam muaj lub cev nqaij nyob ntiaj teb tau cog lus cia ib txhis mus li.” 17Tswv Ntuj hais rau Nos Hes tias “Qhov ntawd yog lub cim qhia tias kuv tau nrog txhua yam muaj lub cev nqaij nyob ntiaj teb cog lus lawm.”
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth. 11 I will establish my covenant with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood. There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 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: 13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud, 15 I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
18Nos Hes cov tub uas tawm hauv nkoj los yog Xees, Has, thiab Zas Fes. Has yog Kas Nas Has txiv. 19Peb tug no yog Nos Hes peb tug tub, thiab lawv yog cov tsim noob los mus nyob puv ntiaj teb.
18 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20Nos Hes yog ib tug neeg ua liaj ua teb, yog thawj tug xub pib cog hmab txiv cawv. 21Nws haus cawv ces nws qaug cawv. Nws muab ris tsho hle, nws pw liab qab hauv nws lub tsev ntaub. 22Has, uas yog Kas Nas Has txiv, pom nws txiv liab qab, ces nws mus hais qhia nws ob tug tij laug nraum zoov. 23 Xees thiab Zas Fes nkawd muab lub tsho loj kwv saum nkawd xub pwg, ces nkawd thaub qab mus muab lawv txiv vov, nkawd tsis tig ntsej muag ntsia nkawd txiv liab qab. 24Thaum Nos Hes zoo cawv lawm, nws hnov txog tias nws tus tub ntxawg tau ua li ntawd rau nws. 25Nws foom tias “Kom Kas Nas Has hmoov phem. Nws yuav ua tus qhev qis tshaj plaws lost sob hwb nws ob tug tij.”
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard. 21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness. 24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25 He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26Nws tseem hais li no ntxiv “Thov hwm Yas Ves, Xees tus Tswv Ntuj. Cia Kas Nas Has ua nws qhev. 27Kom Tswv Ntuj pub chaw dav rau Zas Fes, thiab cia Zas Fes nyob hauv Xees cov tsev tsam phooj. Cia Kas Nas Has ua nws qhev.”
26 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant. 27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
28Thaum dej nyab ntiaj teb tas, Nos Hes tseem nyob peb puas tsib caug xyoo ntxiv. 29Nos Hes lub neej ntev txog cuaj puas tsib caug xyoo, ces nws tuag.
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood. 29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
