Intango nshasha kuri Nowa
Intango nshasha irimwo amabwirizwa ava kuri Data wacu: mwororoke, ntimurye inyama zirimwo amaraso y'ubuzima, kandi ubuzima bw'umuntu buzobazwa kuko abantu bafise ishusho yiwe. Ashiraho umukororombya ngo ube ikimenyetso c'isezerano. Hanyuma Nowa aranywa arasinda, Hamu amushira ku karubanda, Kanani aravumwa.
9 1Nuko Data wa twese arahezagira Nowa n’abahungu biwe, ababwira ati: “Nimwororoke, mugwire, mwuzure isi. 2Ikiremwa cose c’ivya mw’isi, inyoni zose zo mu kirere, ivyose vyikwega hasi, n’amafi yose yo mu kiyaga bizobatinya kandi bizobakubagwa; nabibashikirije mu minwe yanyu. 3Ikiremwa cose kizima kandi kinyeganyega kizoba indya zanyu. Nk’uko nabahaye ibimera bibisi, ubu ndabahaye vyose. 4Ariko ntimuze murye inyama zikirimwo ubugingo bwazo, ni ukuvuga amaraso yazo. 5Kukaba nkako, nzobabaza amaraso yanyu: nzoyabaza ikiremwa cose, nzobaza umuntu wese; umuntu wese nzomubaza ubuzima bwa mwene wabo. 6Uwuseseye amaraso y’umuntu, n’abantu bazoseseza ayiwe; kuko umuntu yaremwe mw’ishusho ry’Imana. a a v6 Imana aha ni Elohimu. Isezerano Rishasha rihishura Imana imwe ko ari Data, Umwana, na Mpwemu Yera (Matayo 28:19; Yohana 1:1-3; Abakolosayi 1:15-16). 7Nayemwe, nimwororoke, mugwire; nimwiyongere kw’isi, mugwire kuri yo.”
8Nuko Data wa twese abwira Nowa n’abahungu biwe bari kumwe na we, ati:
9“Nayemwe, ndiko nshinga isezerano ryanje namwe, n’uruvyaro rwanyu ruzobakurikira, 10n’ikiremwa cose kizima kiri kumwe namwe: inyoni, ibitungwa, n’inyamaswa zose zo mw’isi, ivyavuye vyose mu bwato hamwe namwe, ikiremwa cose kizima co mw’isi. 11Nshinga isezerano ryanje namwe: ntakizoba nkako ngo ikiremwa cose gikegwe n’amazi y’umwuzure; kandi nta mwuzure ukizoba ngo urimbure isi.” 12Nuko Data wa twese aravuga ati: “Iki ni co kimenyetso c’isezerano ndiko nshinga hagati yanje namwe n’ikiremwa cose kizima kiri kumwe namwe, kugeza ku bihe vyose bizoza: 13Nshize umunywamanza wanje mu bicu kibe ikimenyetso c’isezerano hagati yanje n’isi. 14Igihe cose nzozana ibicu hejuru y’isi, maze umunywamanza ukaboneka mu bicu, 15nzokwibuka isezerano ryanje hagati yanje namwe n’ikiremwa cose kizima co bwoko bwose: amazi y’umwuzure ntazokwongera kurimbura ikiremwa cose kizima. 16Igihe umunywamanza uzoba uri mu bicu, nzowubona maze nkibuke isezerano ridashira hagati yanje n’ikiremwa cose kizima co bwoko bwose kiri mw’isi.” 17Nuko Data wa twese abwira Nowa ati: “Iki ni co kimenyetso c’isezerano nshinze hagati yanje n’ikiremwa cose kizima kiri mw’isi.”
Shemu na Yafeti bapfuka se
18Abahungu ba Nowa bavuye mu bwato ni aba: Shemu, Hamu, na Yafeti. (Hamu ni we se wa Kanani.) 19Abo batatu ni bo bari abahungu ba Nowa, kandi ni bo isi yose yakwiragiyeko.
20Nowa, umuntu w’umurimyi, ni we yabaye uwa mbere mu kurima uruzabibu. 21Amaze kunywa umwinyu wavo, ararahurwa maze aryama ari gusa mw’ihema ryiwe. 22Hamu, se wa Kanani, abona se ari gusa maze abibwira bene wabo babiri bari hanze. 23Nuko Shemu na Yafeti bafata igishuka, baribambika ku bitugu vyabo bompi, binjira basubira inyuma, bapfuka se ari gusa; mu maso habo barihejeje inyuma, ku buryo batabonye se ari gusa. 24Nowa akanguwe n’umwinyu wiwe, amenya ivyo umuhungu wiwe w’imfura ntoya yamugiriye, 25aravuga ati: “Kanani navumwe! Azoba umugaragu w’uwo hasi cane kuri bene wabo.”
26Avuga kandi ati: “Data wa Shemu nahezagirwe; Kanani abe umugaragu wa Shemu. 27Data wa twese nagwize akarere ka Yafeti; Yafeti abe mu mahema ya Shemu, kandi Kanani abe umugaragu wa Shemu.”
