9 Gungima Nzambi wasuanguluishile Nowa nu an’enji, waawambelele egi: “Vualenu ana, mudivudise, zalesenu mavu. 2 Ima yagasue idi nu monyo ha mavu nu ima yagasue yana zuga gosa, nu ima yagasue yana wenda ha mavu nu jishui jiagasue jia mu muta mbayikhala gumivuila woma. Henyaha ngayihana ha mago enu.* 3 Muajiya gudia shitu jiagasue jiana wenda jidi nu monyo. Ngamihana najio jiagasue gifua luholo ngamihanele mayiji a gibisu. 4 Uvi mushigo naye gudia musunyi nu mahatshi enji, handaga mahatshi adi monyo. 5 Gula muthu wamishiya, mbangumuhana ndola.* Shitu yagasue yamishiya, idi naye nji gushiyiwa. Muthu wagasue washiya phangi’enji, mbangumuhana ndola. 6 Gula muthu washiya muthu n’a muko,* muene nji udi naye gushiyiwa, handaga Nzambi wafugile muthu mu gifuanesa gienji. 7 Uvi enue vualenu ana mudivudise; divudisenu diago muzalese mavu.”
8 Gungima Nzambi wawambelele Nowa nu an’enji egi: 9 “Henyaha ngudi mukota n’enu gikotelo hamoshi nu an’enu nu ajigulu enu. 10 Ngudi mukota nji gikotelo nu ima yagasue idi nu monyo muazogele nayo mu masuwa, yakotelesa egi athu, tunjila, shitu jia mu foto nu shitu jia hembo. Yadiago, ima yagasue ya ha mavu idi nu monyo. 11 Ayi, ngudi mukota n’enu gikotelo egi: Mbangushigo munogesa luko mvula yakola nga hazonda ha gushiya ima yagasue idi nu monyo. Mbangushigo nji munogesa mvula yakola ha gubolesa mavu.”
12 Nzambi wazuelele luko egi: “Gigi gijiyishilo gia gikotelo ngudi mukota n’enu hamoshi nu ima yagasue idi nu monyo mudi nayo, mukunda nu indongo yagasue mbayiza. 13 Ngudi muhaga khongolo yami mu matuta; mbayikhala gijiyishilo gidi mumonesa gikotelo ngakotshi nu mavu. 14 Tangua diagasue mbanguzola tuta gosa, gula khongolo yamonega mu tuta diene, 15 mbanguwunguluga gikotelo ngakotele n’enu hamoshi nu ima ya maluholo agasue idi nu monyo. Mbangushigo munogesa luko mvula yakola nga hazonda ha gushiya ima yagasue idi nu monyo. 16 Tangua diagasue mbangumona khongolo muzoga mu matuta, mbangutangiza gikotelo gia mayilago ngakotele nu ima yagasue idi nu monyo ha mavu.”
17 Nzambi wawambelele luko Nowa egi: “Gigi gijiyishilo gia gikotelo ngudi mukota nu ima yagasue idi nu monyo ha mavu.”
18 Ana a Nowa azogele mu masuwa enyawa: Sheme, Kame nu Yafete. Gungima Kame wavualele Kanana. 19 Ana a mala awa mutatu a Nowa, ene avualele athu agasue a ha mavu.
20 Nowa wasendesele gudima mahia, wadimine nji dihia dia vinyo. 21 Lusugu lumoshi Nowa wanuile matombe a vinyo, amukuatele, gungima wakatuile milele, wasalele thowa mu inzo yenji ya tenta. 22 Kame, sh’a Kanana, wamonele thowa ya sh’enji. Wayile muwambela aphangi’enji mbadi akhalele hanze. 23 Sheme nu Yafete azanguile mulele, awuhagele ha phanga jiawo, anginyile giakunda monzo ya tenta, atshuigile thowa ya sh’awo.

24 Tangua matombe amuhuile gu meso, Nowa wajiyile ndaga yamukalagele mun’enji wa gasala-songi. 25 Gungima wazuelele egi:
“Ngudi muta Kanana mukumbu.
Muene mbawukhala muhiga* wa aphangi’enji.”
26 Wazuelele luko egi:
“Yehowa, Nzambi wa Sheme atumbuishiwe,
Kanana abue muhiga wa Sheme.
27 Nzambi ahane Yafete mavu akoma,
Akhale nji mu jinzo jia tenta jia Sheme.
Kanana abue nji muhiga wa Yafete.”
