1 Osobo bagadega dunu fi idi da bagade heda: i. Uda mano da ilima lalelegeloba,
When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
2 Gode egefelali da dunu fi ilia uda manolali hahawane ba: loba, ilia hanaiga amo uda mano lasu.
some of the men who (belonged to/believed in) God saw that some of the women who did not (belong to/believe in) God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
3 Amalalu Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na A: silibu da dunu ilima eso huluane hame gegenanumu. Bau osobo bagade dunu ilia bogosu dawa: Ilia da wali ode 120 fawane esalumu.
Then Yahweh said, “[I will] not [allow] my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).”
4 Amo esoga, amola fa: no, dunu bagade amo ilia dio da Nefilime da osobo bagadega esalu. Gode egefelali amola osobo bagade dunu ilia uda manolali da gilisili golaiba: le, amo dunu bagade da lalelegei. Amo dunu da gasa bagade hamobeba: le, dunu huluane da ilia hou nabi dagoi.
There were [giants called] Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time [some of the Nephil] men who (belonged to/believed in) God had sex [EUP] with women who did not (belong to/believe in) God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
5 Hina Gode da osobo bagade dunu ilia wadela: i hou bagade amo ba: lalu. Ilia asigi dawa: su da wadela: lesi dagoi. Ilia dogo ganodini wadela: i hou fawane dawa: lalu. Amo Gode da ba: i dagoi.
Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
6 Hina Gode da Ea musa: hou amo E da osobo bagadega esaloma: ne dunu fi hamoi, amo E da higale ba: i. Ea dogo ganodini se bagade nabi.
Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
7 Amaiba: le Gode da amane sia: i. “Na da dunu fi hamoi dagoi be wali Na da huluane medole legemu. Dunu huluane, ohe fi, sania fi amola sio fi huluane Na da hamoiba: le hahawane hame gala. Amaiba: le, Na da huluane fane legemu.”
So he said, “I will completely destroy the people I made. I will also destroy all the animals and the creatures that scurry across the ground and the birds. None of them will remain on the earth, because I regret that I made them.”
8 Be Hina Gode da dunu afae amo Nowa: , hahawane ba: i. (Amabela: ? Sede egefelali - ilia da lafidili Gode dawa: i udigili sia: bela: ?)
But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
9 Nowa: ea sia: dedei da agoane. Nowa: da hou moloidafa dunu, e da wadela: i hame dawa: i. Ea fi amo ganodini, e da ida: iwane Gode amola gilisili lalu.
This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship with God.
10 Nowa: da dunu mano udiana esalu amo Sieme, Ha: me amola Ya: ifede.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Be osobo bagadega dunu fi huluane ilia hou da wadela: lesi dagoi. Gegene nimi dasu bagade fawane ba: i.
At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
12 Dunu huluane da ilia hou wadela: lesiba: le, Gode da osobo bagade gugunufinisi dagoi ba: i.
God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
13 Amaiba: le, Gode da Nowa: ma amane sia: i, “Na da dunu fi huluane ebelema: ne medole legemu. Ilia hamobeba: le, osobo bagade da nimi bagade hou amola gegesu, amoga nabai gala. Amaiba: le, na da dunu fi amola osobo bagade gilisili gugunufinisimu.
So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on the earth.
14 Amaiba: le, di dusagai bagade amo ‘saibalase’ ifa amoga hamoma. Amo ganodini sesei hamoma. Ganodini amola gadili ea gadofo amoga edele agoai legema.
[I want you to] make for yourself a large boat from cypress wood. Make rooms inside it. Cover the outside and the inside with tar [to make it (waterproof/so that water cannot get in and sink the boat]).
15 Dia dusagai agoane hiougima. Ea afo sedade defei da 133 mida amola ea da: iyamogoa dunumuni defei da 22 mida amola ea da: iyamogoa gado defei 13 mida.
This is the size you must make it: It shall be (150 yards/135 meters) long, (25 yards/22.5 meters) wide, and (15 yards/13.5 meters) high.
16 Gadodili figisu hamoma! Dusagai ea dobea fesa heda: le, figisu mae doaga: le dibi 44 sedamida agoane yolesima. Dusagai la: idi logo ga: su hamoma amola hada: i fa: i udiana agoane hamoma.
Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about (18 in./.5 meter) between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side.
17 Na da esalebe liligi mu hagudu esala amo huluane mifo labe liligi wadela: ma: ne, hano bagade osobo bagadega iasimu. Osobo bagadega esalebe liligi huluane da bogogia: mu.
Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything on the earth will die.
18 Be Na da dima gousa: su hamomu. Amalalu, di, dia manolali, dia uda, amola dia mano ilia uda da dusagai bagade ganodini golili sa: ima: mu.
But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
19 Di esalebe liligi hisu hisu amo aduna - gawali amola aseme, amo esaloma: ne dusagai ganodini oule masa.
And I want to save some of all kinds of creatures. So you must also bring two of all living creatures, a male and a female, into the boat with you, so that their species also may remain alive.
20 Sio fi hisu hisu aduna aduna, ohe fi huluane aduna aduna, amola fi huluane da osoboga sugi ahoabe, amo huluane da aduna aduna di ouligima: ne, dima doaga: mu.
Two of every kind of creature will come to [in order that by your putting them in the boat] you will keep them alive. They will include two of each kind of bird and each kind of animal and each kind of creature that scurries across the ground.
21 Ha: i manu liligi huluane amola, di amola osobo bagade ohe fi huluane moma: ne, amo gilisima.
You must also take some of every kind of food that you and all these animals will need, and store it in the boat.”
22 Nowa: da Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, huluane hamoi dagoi.
So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
The World is Destroyed by Water
