UNkulunkulu abusise uNowa namadodana akhe
1UNkulunkulu wambusisa uNowa namadodana akhe, wathi kubo: “Zalani nande nigcwalise umhlaba.
2Ukwesabeka kwenu kuyakuba phezu kwezilwane zonke zomhlaba, naphezu kwazo zonke izinyoni zezulu, naphezu kwakho konke okunwabuzelayo emhlabeni, naphezu kwazo zonke izinhlanzi zolwandle; zinikelwe esandleni sakho.
3Konke okuphilayo kuzakuba ngukudla kwenu; njengekhambi eliluhlaza ngikunike konke.
4Kepha inyama enomphefumulo wayo, okuyigazi layo, aniyikuyidla.
5Futhi ngempela, igazi lempilo yenu ngizolibiza; esandleni sazo zonke izilwane ngiyakulibiza, nasesandleni somuntu; esandleni somfowabo ngamunye ngiyakufuna ukuphila komuntu.
6Ochitha igazi lomuntu, igazi lakhe liyakuchithwa ngumuntu, ngokuba umuntu wamenza umuntu ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.
7Nina-ke, zalani, nande; nithele izithelo ngobuningi emhlabeni, nande kuwo.
8UNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuNowa nakumadodana akhe kanye naye, wathi:
9Bheka, ngiyamisa isivumelwano sami nawe nenzalo yakho emva kwakho;
10nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezikini, izinyoni, nezinkomo, nezilwane zonke zomhlaba ezikanye nani; kubo bonke abaphuma emkhunjini, kuzo zonke izilwane zomhlaba.
11Ngiyakuqinisa isivumelwano sami nawe; futhi yonke inyama ayisayikunqunywa ngamanzi kazamcolo; futhi ngeke kusaba khona uzamcolo wokubhubhisa umhlaba.
12UNkulunkulu wathi: “Lokhu kuyisibonakaliso sesivumelwano engisenza phakathi kwami nani nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezikini kuze kube phakade.
13Ngibeka uthingo lwami efwini, lube luphawu lwesivumelwano phakathi kwami nomhlaba.
14Uma ngehlisela ifu phezu komhlaba, uthingo luyobonakala efwini;
15Ngiyakukhumbula isivumelwano sami esiphakathi kwami nani nazo zonke izilwane eziphilayo zenyama yonke; futhi amanzi ngeke esaba uzamcolo wokubhubhisa yonke inyama.
16Uthingo luyakuba sefwini; futhi ngizobheka kuso, ukuze ngicabange ngesivumelwano esiphakade phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo zayo yonke inyama esemhlabeni.
17UNkulunkulu wathi kuNowa: “Lokhu kuyisibonakaliso sesivumelwano engasimisa phakathi kwami nayo yonke inyama esemhlabeni.
18Amadodana kaNowa aphuma emkhunjini ayengoShemi, noHamu, noJafete; uHamu nguyise kaKhanani.
19Lawa angamadodana amathathu kaNowa, futhi wonke umhlaba wasakazwa kuwo.
20UNowa waqala ukuba ngumlimi, watshala isivini.
21Waphuza iwayini, wadakwa; wayenqunu etendeni lakhe.
22UHamu, uyise kaKhanani, wabona ubunqunu bukayise, watshela abafowabo ababili ngaphandle.
23OShemi noJafete bathatha ingubo, bayibeka emahlombe abo bobabili, bahlehla nyovane, basibekela ubunqunu bukayise; ubuso babo bubheke emuva, ababonanga ubunqunu bukayise.
24UNowa waphaphama ewayinini lakhe, wakwazi lokho indodana yakhe encane eyayikwenzile kuye.
25Wathi: “Makaqalekiswe uKhanani; kufanele abe yisigqila sezinceku kubafowabo.
26Wathi: “Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu kaShemu! uKhanani abe yinceku yakhe.
27UNkulunkulu uyokwandisa uJafete, futhi uyohlala ematendeni kaShemi; uKhanani abe yinceku yakhe.
28UNowa wahamba iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisihlanu emva kukazamcolo.
29Zonke izinsuku zikaNowa zaziyiminyaka engamakhulu ayisishiyagalolunye namashumi ayisihlanu, wayesefa.
