Chakruok 6
1 Kane dhano ochako medore e piny, kendo onywolonegi nyiri,
When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
2 yawuot Nyasaye noneno ni nyi dhano beyo kendo negikendo moro amora mane chunygi ogombo.
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 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Mucha machiwo ngima ok nodag kuom dhano nyaka chiengʼ, nikech en ringruok matow, ndalone nobed higni mia achiel gi piero ariyo.”
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 Jo-Nefilim ma gin joma robede miwuoro ne nitie e piny e ndalogo kendo kod ndalo maluwe, e kindeno ma yawuot Nyasaye kod nyi dhano nonywomore monywolo nyithindo. Nyithindogo ne thuondi kendo joma ne nigi huma e ndalogo.
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 Jehova Nyasaye noneno kaka richo dhano ogundho e piny kendo kaka paro duto mag chunye ne mana timo richo seche duto.
Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
6 Jehova Nyasaye chunye nodoko malit kuom keto dhano e piny kendo chunye nopongʼ gi lit.
Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
7 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Abiro nego dhano duto masechweyo e wangʼ piny kaachiel gi le kod gik mamol duto kod winy mafuyo e kor polo nimar dine ber ka dine ok achweyogi.”
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 To Nowa noyudo ngʼwono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye.
But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
9 Ma e nonro mar Nowa. Nowa ne ngʼama kare, kendo malongʼo e kind oganda mane nitie kendo nowuotho gi Nyasaye.
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 ne nigi yawuowi adek: Shem, Ham kod Jafeth.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Koro piny nokethore e nyim Nyasaye kendo opongʼ gi timbe mahundu.
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 Nyasaye noneno kaka piny nosekethore, nikech ji duto mae piny nodak e richo.
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 Kuom mano, Nyasaye nowacho ne Nowa niya, “Abiro tieko dhano duto nikech piny opongʼ gi timbe maricho nikech gin. Adier abiro tiekogi kaachiel gi piny.
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 Omiyo los yie gi yien motegno, pog iye mondo owuog udi matindo kendo muone gi duogo, iye gi oko.
[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 Ma e kaka ibiro gere: Borne en fut mia angʼwen gi piero abich, lachne en fut piero abiriyo gabich kendo tutne fut piero angʼwen gabich.
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 Ketne tado kiweyo thuolo mar fut achiel gi nus e kind tado kod kore. Ketne dhoot kendo ipog iye gorofa adek.
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 Abiro kelo pi mar nam e piny mondo oketh gik mangima modak e bwo polo, gimoro amora man kod muya mar ngima e iye. Gimoro amora mae piny biro tho.
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 To abiro timo singruokna kodi, kendo ibiro donjo e yie, in kaachiel gi yawuoti kod chiegi, kod mond yawuoti.
But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
19 Ibiro kawo gik mangima duto, machwo kod mamon mondo gidonji kodi ei yie kendo iritgi gibed mangima.
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 Kuom kido duto mag winy, gi mag le, kod mag gik mamol e lowo ariyo ariyo nodonj kodi ei yie mondo ores ngimagi.
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 Kaw kit chiemo duto monego cham kendo ikan-gi kaka chiembi kod mag-gi.”
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 notimo gik moko duto mana kaka Nyasaye nochike.
So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
The World is Destroyed by Water
