9 Nuko Imana iha umugisha Nowa n’abahungu be, irababwira iti: “Mubyare abana mube benshi mwuzure isi.+ 2 Ibyaremwe byose bifite ubuzima byo ku isi, ibiguruka byose byo mu kirere, ibigenda ku butaka byose n’amafi yose yo mu nyanja bizakomeza kubatinya. Ndabibahaye ngo mubitegeke.+ 3 Inyamaswa zose ziri ku isi zizaba ibyokurya byanyu.+ Nzibahaye zose nk’uko nabahaye ibimera bibisi.+ 4 Icyakora ntimukarye+ inyama zirimo amaraso kuko amaraso ari ubuzima.*+ 5 Kandi amaraso yanyu, ni ukuvuga ubuzima bwanyu, nzayahorera. Nihagira ikiremwa cyose gifite ubuzima kivusha amaraso yanyu kizicwe. Umuntu wese uzica umuvandimwe we nzabimuhanira.+ 6 Umuntu wese wica undi* na we azicwe+ kuko Imana yaremye umuntu mu ishusho yayo.”+ 7 Imana irongera irababwira iti: “Muzabyare abana mube benshi mwuzure isi.”+
8 Nuko Imana ibwira Nowa n’abahungu be iti: 9 “Dore ngiranye namwe isezerano+ hamwe n’abazabakomokaho, 10 n’ibifite ubuzima byose biri kumwe namwe, ni ukuvuga inyoni, ibisiga, inyamaswa n’ibyaremwe byose bifite ubuzima biri kumwe namwe ku isi byasohotse mu bwato byose, ni ukuvuga ibyaremwe byose bifite ubuzima biri ku isi.+ 11 Ngiranye namwe iri sezerano: Ibifite umubiri byose ntibizongera kurimburwa n’amazi y’umwuzure kandi ntihazongera kubaho umwuzure ngo urimbure isi.”+
12 Imana yongeraho iti: “Iki ni cyo kimenyetso cy’isezerano ngiranye namwe n’ibifite ubuzima byose kandi rizahoraho kugeza ku bazabakomokaho bose. 13 Nshyize umukororombya wanjye mu bicu kugira ngo ube ikimenyetso cy’isezerano ngiranye n’isi. 14 Igihe cyose nzajya nzana igicu hejuru y’isi, umukororombya uzajya uboneka muri icyo gicu, 15 maze nibuke isezerano nagiranye namwe n’ibifite ubuzima by’amoko yose. Kandi ntihazongera kubaho umwuzure ngo urimbure ibifite ubuzima byose.+ 16 Umukororombya uzajya ugaragara mu bicu kandi nzajya nywubona nibuke isezerano rihoraho nagiranye n’ibifite ubuzima by’amoko yose biri ku isi.”
17 Imana yongera kubwira Nowa iti: “Icyo ni cyo kimenyetso cy’isezerano ngiranye n’ibifite ubuzima byose biri ku isi.”+
18 Abahungu ba Nowa basohotse mu bwato ni Shemu, Hamu na Yafeti.+ Nyuma yaho Hamu yabyaye Kanani.+ 19 Abo bahungu batatu ba Nowa, ni bo abatuye ku isi bose bakomotseho bakwira hirya no hino.+
20 Nuko Nowa atangira guhinga maze atera uruzabibu. 21 Igihe kimwe anywa divayi arasinda maze yambara ubusa ari mu ihema rye. 22 Hamu, ari we papa wa Kanani, abona ko papa we yambaye ubusa maze ajya kubibwira abavandimwe be bombi bari hanze. 23 Shemu na Yafeti babyumvise bafata umwenda bawushyira mu bitugu byabo bagenda bamuteye umugongo, nuko bamutwikira uwo mwenda batamwerekejeho amaso, bityo ntibamureba yambaye ubusa.
24 Amaherezo Nowa arakanguka inzoga zamushizemo, maze amenya ibyo umuhungu we muto yamukoreye. 25 Nuko aravuga ati:
Azabe umugaragu usuzuguritse w’abavandimwe be.”+
26 Yongeraho ati:
“Yehova Imana ya Shemu nasingizwe,
Kandi Kanani azabe umugaragu wa Shemu.+
27 Imana izahe Yafeti ahantu hagari,
Kandi ature mu mahema ya Shemu.
Kanani azabe umugaragu we.”
