4 “Otiia kaua e kainga e koutou te kikokiko me tōna ora, arā ko ōna toto. 5 Nā, ko ō koutou toto, ko te toto e ora nei koutou, he pono ka rapua e ahau he utu. Ka rapua e ahau he utu i ngā kīrehe katoa; i te tangata anō hoki, ka rapua e ahau he utu mō te matenga o te tangata i te teina o ia tangata, o ia tangata.
8 Ā, i kōrero te Atua ki a Noa rātou ko āna tama, i mea, 9 “Ko ahau nei, nanā, ka whakapūmau ahau i tāku kawenata ki a koutou, ki tō koutou uri i muri i a koutou, 10 ki ngā mea ora katoa hoki i a koutou, ki te manu, ki te kararehe, ki ngā kīrehe katoa hoki o te whenua e noho ana i a koutou; ki ngā mea katoa i puta mai i roto i te āka, puta noa ki ngā kīrehe katoa o te whenua. 11 Ā, ka whakapūmautia e ahau tāku kawenata ki a koutou; e kore e hātepea atu ngā kikokiko katoa ā muri ake nei e ngā wai o te waipuke; e kore anō e puta mai he waipuke ā muri ake nei hei whakangaro mō te whenua.”
12 Ka mea te Atua, “Ko te tohu tēnei o te kawenata, e whakatakotoria nei e ahau ki waenganui ōku, o koutou tae atu ki ngā mea ora katoa i a koutou, mō ngā whakatupuranga mutungakore: 13 ka whakatakotoria e ahau tāku kōpere ki te kapua, ā, ka waiho hei tohu mō te kawenata i waenganui ōku, o te whenua. 14 Tēnei ake anō, i te wā e whakaputa ai ahau i te kapua ki runga ki te whenua, ka kitea te kōpere i te kapua, 15 ā, ka mahara ahau ki tāku kawenata i waenganui ōku, o koutou me ngā mea ora katoa, arā ngā kikokiko katoa; e kore ngā wai e pupuke ā muri ake nei hei whakangaro i ngā kikokiko katoa. 16 Ā, ka piri te kōpere ki te kapua; ā, ka titiro atu ahau ki taua mea, kia mahara ai ahau ki te kawenata mau tonu i waenganui o te Atua, o ngā wairua ora katoa o ngā kikokiko katoa runga i te whenua.”
17 Nā, ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, “Ko te tohu tēnei o te kawenata e whakapūmautia nei e ahau ki waenganui ōku, o ngā kikokiko katoa i runga i te whenua.”
20 Nā, ka tīmata a Noa te ngaki whenua, ā, whakatōkia ana e ia he māra wāina. 21 Ā, ka inumia e ia te wāina, ka haurangi; nā, ka takoto tahanga i roto i tōna tēneti. 22 Ā, i te kitenga o Hama, o te matua o Kanāna, i tōna matua e takoto tahanga ana, ka kōrerotia e ia ki ōna tuākana tokorua i waho. 23 Nā, ka tango a Hema rāua ko Iapeta i tētahi kākahu, makā iho e rāua ki runga ki ō rāua pokohiwi, nā, ka haere whakatuarā atu rāua, ā, hīpokina ana te wāhi takoto kau o tō rāua pāpā; me te ahu anō ō rāua kanohi ki muri, ā, kīhai rāua i kite i te wāhi takoto kau o tō rāua pāpā.
24 Nā, ka maranga ake a Noa i tāna wāina, ka mōhio ki tā tāna pōtiki i mea ai ki a ia. 25 Nā, ka mea ia,
26 I mea anō ia,
28 Ā, e toru rau e rima tekau ngā tau i ora ai a Noa i muri i te waipuke. 29 Ā, ko ngā rā katoa o Noa e iwa rau e rima tekau tau; ā, ka mate ia.
