17Imana ibwira Nowa iti “Icyo ni cyo kimenyetso cy'isezerano nakomeje riri hagati yanjye n'ibifiteumubiribyose biri mu isi.”
18Bene Nowa basohotse mu nkuge ni Shemu na Hamu na Yafeti. Hamu ni se wa Kanāni.
19Abo uko ari batatu ni bo Nowa yabyaye, ari bo bakomotsweho n'abakwiriye mu isi yose.
20Nowa atangira guhingaubutakaateramouruzabibu,

24Nowa arasinduka, amenya ibyoumuhererezi we yamugiriye.
25Aravuga ati
“Kanāni avumwe,
Azabeumugaragu w'abagaragu kuri bene se.”
26Kandi ati
“Uwiteka ahimbazwe,
Ni we Mana ya Shemu,
Kanāni abeumugaragu we.
27Imana yagure Yafeti,
Abe mu mahema ya Shemu,
Kanāni abeumugaragu we.”
