9 Muluku aahimureeliha Nowe vamosa ni anaawe ohimyaka wiira: “Mwaayareke anamwane, mwaatteke ni musareyeke mulaponi.+ 2 Soopattuxiwa sootheene siri mulaponi, soopattuxiwa sootheene sinivava musulu, soopattuxiwa sootheene sineetta vathi ni ihopa sootheene sa mphareya, sinoowoovakani. Sootheene iyo moovahiwa wiira mulamuleleke.+ 3 Inama sootheene sikumi, mukhuureke.+ Siisaale koovanhaakani makukhu, kinnoovahani inama sootheene.+ 4 Masi muhikhuure+ enama ni ephome aya,+ eyo piiyo, okumi aya. 5 Nave-tho, akhala mutthu aahiiso mwaamunama onrowa owiivani, miyo kinoomunlela ikuhu. Akhala mwaamunama, owo ohaana wiiviwa. Akhala mutthu, owo ohaana oliva ni okumi awe, okhala wiira owo munninyu.+ 6 Akhala mutthu onimwiiva* mutthu mukina, nave owo ohaana wiiviwa,+ maana Muluku ompattunxe mutthu ailattanihaka mwaneene.+ 7 Nto nyuwo mwaayareke anamwane, mwaatteke, musareyeke mulaponi ni mmwareeleke memmo”.+
8 Nuumala-vo, Muluku aahimuhimeerya Nowe vamosa ni anaawe wiira: 9 “Vano, miyo kinnipaka nivarihano ni nyuwo,+ vamosa ni osuulu anyu. 10 Nave-tho kinnipaka nivarihano ni inama sootheene sikhumme mukalawani ni nyuwo: axipalame, inama sa vate ni inama sa mutakhwani, eyo piiyo, inama sootheene sa mulaponi.+ 11 Aayo, kinnipaka nivarihano ni nyuwo. Nkinrowa-tho opwetexa inama sootheene ni waapwetexa apinaatamu ootheene, kirumeelaka maasi a mutaaseke. Nave, nkinrowa-tho ohonona elapo, kirumeelaka maasi a mutaaseke”.+
12 Muluku aahihimya-tho wiira: “Ela esinaale ya nivarihano kinipaka aka ni nyuwo ni soopattuxiwa sootheene sikumi siri ni nyuwo. Nivarihano nla kinipaka wa maloko ootheene a muhoolo. 13 Koohela ekhweyi mmeekuni. Ekhweyi eyo enrowa okhala esinaale ya nivarihano kipanke aka miyo ni elapo. 14 Khula okathi kinrowa aka okumiheryaka meeku mulaponi, enookhumelelaka ekhweyi mmeekuni memmo. 15 Miyo kinimuupuwela tthiri nivarihano kipanke aka ni nyuwo vamosa ni mixovo sootheene sa inama ni apinaatamu. Nave khonrowa okhumelela mutaaseke a maasi wiira opwetexe inama sootheene ni aapwetexe atthu ootheene.+ 16 Khula okathi enrowa aya okhumelelaka mmeekuni, miyo kinoowehaka ni kinimuupuwelaka nivarihano na okathi wootheene kipanke aka ni apinaatamu ni inama sa khula muxovo siri mulaponi”.
17 Muluku aahitthikela omuleela Nowe wiira: “Ela esinaale ya nivarihano kinipaka aka ni inama sootheene ni apinaatamu ootheene mulaponi”.+
18 Anamwane axilopwana a Nowe yaakhumme mukalawani, taala: Semi, Khami ni Yafeti.+ Muhoolo mwaya, Khami aahimuyara Kanaani.+ 19 Ala tari anamwane araru axilopwana a Nowe. Mwa yaala, takhumme aya atthu a maloko ootheene a mulaponi, amwareela memmo.+
20 Vano, Nowe aahilima ematta ya ewuuva. 21 Nihiku nimosa, aahiwurya eviinyu, khuhapaliwa. Nto, aahirupa mutentani* mwawe ohiwanre etthu. 22 Vano, Khami paapa awe Kanaani, aahaaweha apapawe ehiwanre etthu, nto aahaaleela axuulupale awe anli yaari vate. 23 Nto, Semi ni Yafeti yaahikuxasa mukhumi ekapatta vamosa yeettaka ni ettuli, yaakhuneela apapaya, yaarenrye ene ettuli. Tivo, awo khiyaawenhe apapaya ahiwanre etthu.
24 Okathi eviinyu yaamuukulunwe aya Nowe, aahisuwela etthu mwanawe mwaamukhaanixa yaamwiirenle awe. 25 Nto owo aahihimya wiira:
“Kanaani+ otakhaliwe.
Owo okhale epottha* ya axuulupale awe”.+
26 Aahihimya-tho wiira:
“Ottottopeliwe Yehova, Muluku a Semi,
Kanaani okhale epottha ya Semi.+
27 Muluku, onvahe opuro muulupale Yafeti,
Nave okhaleke mutentani mwa Semi.
Kanaani okhale-tho epottha ya Yafeti”.
28 Nuumala epula ya mutaaseke, Nowe aahikhala-tho iyaakha 350.+ 29 Nto, Nowe aahikhala iyaakha 950. Nuumala-vo aahikhwa.
