Sungano pakati paNowa naMwari

¹ Zvino Mwari akaropafadza Nowa navanakomana vake, akati kwavari, “Berekai, muwande, muzadze nyika.

² Mhuka dzose dzenyika, neshiri dzose dzedenga, dzichakutyai nokukuvhundukai; zvose zvinokambaira pasi, nehove dzose dzegungwa, zvinoiswa pamaoko enyu.

³ Zvose zvinofamba zvipenyu zvichava zvokudya zvenyu; ndinokupai zvose, sezvandakakupai miriwo mitema.

⁴ Asi nyama, kana ine upenyu hwayo, iro ropa rayo, musaidya iyo.

⁵ Zvirokwazvo ropa renyu, roupenyu hwenyu, ndicharitsiva; ndicharitsiva pazvipenyu zvose, ndichatsiva upenyu hwomunhu paruoko rwomunhu naparuoko rwehama yomunhu.

⁶ Ani naani anoteura ropa romunhu, ropa rake richateurwawo nomunhu; nokuti Mwari akaita munhu nomufananidzo wake.

⁷ As imi berekai, muwande, berekai zvikuru panyika, muwande mukati mayo.”

⁸ Zvino Mwari akataura naNowa navanakomana vake vakanga vanaye, akati,

⁹ “Tarirai, ini ndinoita sungano yangu nemi navana venyu vanokuteverai;

¹⁰ nezvipenyu zvose zvinemi, zvinoti, shiri, nezvipfuwo, nemhuka dzose dzenyika dzinemi; zvose zvinobuda paareka, idzo mhuka dzose dzapanyika.

¹¹ Ndichaita sungano yangu nemi; zvose zvenyama hazvingazopedzwizve nemvura zhinji: mvura zhinji haingazovepozve kuti iparadze nyika.”

¹² Ipapo Mwari akati, “Ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandinoita pakati pangu nemi nezvipenyu zvose zvinemi kusvikira kumarudzi asingaperi.

¹³ Ndinoisa muraraungu wangu mugore, kuti chive chiratidzo chesungano pakati pangu nenyika.

¹⁴ Zvino ndichati kana ndikauyisa gore pamusoro penyika, muraraungu uyu ukaonekwa mugore,

¹⁵ ndicharangarira sungano yangu iri pakati pangu nemi, napakati pezvipenyu zvose zvenyama, mvura haichazovi zhinjizve kuti iparadze zvose zvenyama.

¹⁶ Muraraungu uchavapo mugore; ndichautarira, kuti ndirangarire sungano isingaperi pakati paMwari nezvipenyu zvose zvenyama zviri panyika.”

¹⁷ Mwari akati kuna Nowa, “Ndicho chiratidzo chesungano yandakaita pakati pangu nezvose zvenyama zviri panyika.”

Vanakomana vaNowa

¹⁸ Vanakomana vaNowa vakabuda muareka ndivava: Shemu, naHamu, naJafeti; Hamu ndiye baba vaKenani.

¹⁹ Ndivava vakanga vari vanakomana vaNowa; nyika yose yakazadzwa navo.

Kutadza kwaNowa nokutukwa kwaKenani

²⁰ Nowa akatanga kuva murimi, akarima munda womuzambiringa;

²¹ akanwa waini, akabatwa, akazvifukura mutende rake.

²² Zvino Hamu, baba vaKenani, akaona kusasimira kwababa vake, akazivisa vakuru vake vaviri.

²³ Ipapo Shemu naJafeti vakatora nguo, vakaiisa pamafudzi avo, vakaenda manhenda shure, vakafukidzira kusasimira kwababa vavo; zviso zvavo zvakanga zvakatarira shure, vakasaona kusasimira kwababa vavo.

²⁴ Zvino Nowa akapengenuka pawaini yake, akaziva zvaakaitirwa nomwanakomana wake muduku,

²⁵ akati, “Kenani ngaatukwe; achava muranda wavaranda kuvakuru vake.”

²⁶ Akati, “Jehovha Mwari waShemu ngaakudzwe, Kenani ngaave muranda wake.

²⁷ Mwari ngaakurise Jafeti, ngaagare mumatende aShemu, Kenani ngaave muranda wake.”

²⁸ Nowa akagara shure kwemvura zhinji makore ana mazana matatu namakumi mashanu.

²⁹ Mazuva ose aNowa akanga ari mazana mapfumbamwe nemakumi mashanu, akafa.
