Te Kawenata a te Atua ki a Noa
1 Nā, ka manaakitia a Noa rātou ko āna tama e te Atua, i mea ia ki a rātou, “Kia hua, kia tini koutou, kia kapi anō hoki te whenua i a koutou.
2 Ā, ko tō koutou wehi, ko tō koutou whakamataku, ka tau ki runga ki ngā kīrehe katoa o te whenua, ki ngā manu katoa o te rangi, ki ngā mea katoa e ngahue ana i runga i te whenua, ki ngā ika katoa anō hoki o te moana; kua hoatu ēnā mea ki tō koutou ringa.
3 Hei kai mā koutou ngā mea korikori katoa, ngā mea ora; rite tonu ki tāku hoatutanga i ngā otaota matomato tāku hoatutanga i ngā mea katoa ki a koutou.
4 “Otiia kaua e kainga e koutou te kikokiko me tōna ora, arā ko ōna toto.
5 Nā, ko ō koutou toto, ko te toto e ora nei koutou, he pono ka rapua e ahau he utu. Ka rapua e ahau he utu i ngā kīrehe katoa; i te tangata anō hoki, ka rapua e ahau he utu mō te matenga o te tangata i te teina o ia tangata, o ia tangata.
6 Ko ia e whakaheke i ngā toto o te tangata,
mā te tangata anō ōna toto e whakaheke;
nō te Atua hoki te āhua
i hangā ai e ia te tangata.
7 Ā, ko koutou, kia hua, kia tini; kia nui tō koutou uri ki runga ki te whenua, kia tini hoki ki reira.”
8 Ā, i kōrero te Atua ki a Noa rātou ko āna tama, i mea,
9 “Ko ahau nei, nanā, ka whakapūmau ahau i tāku kawenata ki a koutou, ki tō koutou uri i muri i a koutou,
10 ki ngā mea ora katoa hoki i a koutou, ki te manu, ki te kararehe, ki ngā kīrehe katoa hoki o te whenua e noho ana i a koutou; ki ngā mea katoa i puta mai i roto i te āka, puta noa ki ngā kīrehe katoa o te whenua.
11 Ā, ka whakapūmautia e ahau tāku kawenata ki a koutou; e kore e hātepea atu ngā kikokiko katoa ā muri ake nei e ngā wai o te waipuke; e kore anō e puta mai he waipuke ā muri ake nei hei whakangaro mō te whenua.”
12 Ka mea te Atua, “Ko te tohu tēnei o te kawenata, e whakatakotoria nei e ahau ki waenganui ōku, o koutou tae atu ki ngā mea ora katoa i a koutou, mō ngā whakatupuranga mutungakore:
13 ka whakatakotoria e ahau tāku kōpere ki te kapua, ā, ka waiho hei tohu mō te kawenata i waenganui ōku, o te whenua.
14 Tēnei ake anō, i te wā e whakaputa ai ahau i te kapua ki runga ki te whenua, ka kitea te kōpere i te kapua,
15 ā, ka mahara ahau ki tāku kawenata i waenganui ōku, o koutou me ngā mea ora katoa, arā ngā kikokiko katoa; e kore ngā wai e pupuke ā muri ake nei hei whakangaro i ngā kikokiko katoa.
16 Ā, ka piri te kōpere ki te kapua; ā, ka titiro atu ahau ki taua mea, kia mahara ai ahau ki te kawenata mau tonu i waenganui o te Atua, o ngā wairua ora katoa o ngā kikokiko katoa runga i te whenua.”
17 Nā, ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, “Ko te tohu tēnei o te kawenata e whakapūmautia nei e ahau ki waenganui ōku, o ngā kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.”
Noa me Āna Tama
18 Nā, ko ngā tama a Noa, i puta mai nei i roto i te āka, ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta; ā, ko Hama te matua o Kanāna.
19 Ko ngā tama tokotoru ēnei a Noa; ā, nā ēnei i kapi ai te whenua katoa.
20 Nā, ka tīmata a Noa te ngaki whenua, ā, whakatōkia ana e ia he māra wāina.
21 Ā, ka inumia e ia te wāina, ka haurangi; nā, ka takoto tahanga i roto i tōna tēneti.
22 Ā, i te kitenga o Hama, o te matua o Kanāna, i tōna matua e takoto tahanga ana, ka kōrerotia e ia ki ōna tuākana tokorua i waho.
23 Nā, ka tango a Hema rāua ko Iapeta i tētahi kākahu, makā iho e rāua ki runga ki ō rāua pokohiwi, nā, ka haere whakatuarā atu rāua, ā, hīpokina ana te wāhi takoto kau o tō rāua pāpā; me te ahu anō ō rāua kanohi ki muri, ā, kīhai rāua i kite i te wāhi takoto kau o tō rāua pāpā.
24 Nā, ka maranga ake a Noa i tāna wāina, ka mōhio ki tā tāna pōtiki i mea ai ki a ia.
25 Nā, ka mea ia,
“Ka kangā a Kanāna;
ka waiho ia hei tino pononga
mā ōna tuākana.”
26 I mea anō ia,
“Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, te Atua o Hema;
ā, ka waiho a Kanāna hei pononga māna.
27 Ka meinga a Iapeta e te Atua kia tohatoha noa atu,
kia noho hoki ia ki ngā tēneti o Hema;
ā, hei pononga a Kanāna māna.”
28 Ā, e toru rau e rima tekau ngā tau i ora ai a Noa i muri i te waipuke.
29 Ā, ko ngā rā katoa o Noa e iwa rau e rima tekau tau; ā, ka mate ia.
