Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
Alò, li te rive ke lè lèzòm te kòmanse miltipliye sou sifas tè a, e yo te fè pitit fi,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair. And they took to them wives of all that they chose.
ke fis Bondye yo te wè ke fi lezòm yo te bèl. Konsa, yo te pran kòm madanm pou yo menm, nenpòt ke yo te chwazi.
3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he also is flesh. Yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
Alò SENYÈ a te di: “Lespri Mwen p ap lite avèk lòm pou janmè, paske li menm osi se chè. Konsa, jou li yo va san-ven-ane.”
4 The giants were on the earth in those days. And also after that, when the sons of God came to the daughters of men, and they bore sons to them, the same were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Jeyan yo te sou latè nan jou sa yo, e menm aprè, lè fis Bondye yo te antre nan pitit fi a lòm yo, e te fè pitit avèk yo. Sila yo se te lòm pwisan de tan ansyen yo, lòm gran repitasyon yo.
5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Alò SENYÈ a te wè ke mechanste lòm te gran sou latè, epi ke chak entansyon ak panse nan kè li te toujou vè lemal.
6 And Jehovah regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
Epi SENYÈ a te regrèt ke Li te fè lòm sou latè a, e sa te blese Li nan kè L.
7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground, from man, to beast, to creeping things, and birds of the heavens, for I regret that I have made them.
SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen va efase lòm ke mwen te kreye sou fas tè a, soti nan lòm jis nan tout bèt yo, ak a zwazo anlè yo. Paske mwen regrèt ke m te fè yo.”
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
Men Noé te twouve favè nan zye SENYÈ a.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Sa yo se achiv jenerasyon Noé yo. Noé se te yon moun ak ladwati, san fot nan tan pa li a. Noé te mache avèk Bondye.
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noé te vin papa twa fis: Sem, Cham, ak Japhet.
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Alò tè a te vin konwonpi nan zye Bondye, e latè te vin plen ak vyolans.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
Bondye te gade sou latè, e gade byen, li te vin konwonpi; paske tout chè te vin konwonpi sou tè a nan jan yo te mache.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them, and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Alò, Bondye te di a Noé: “Lafen tout chè gen tan parèt devan M; paske latè vin ranpli avèk vyolans akoz yo menm. Gade byen, mwen prè pou detwi yo ansanm ak latè.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood. Thou shall make rooms in the ark, and shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
Fè pou kont ou yon lach avèk bwa gofè. Ou va fè l avèk chanm, e kouvri li anndan kon deyò avèk kòl rezin.
15 And this is how thou shall make it: The length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Se konsa ke ou va fè l: longè lach la va twa san koude (18 pous se yon koude), lajè li va senkant koude, e wotè li va trant koude.
16 Thou shall make a light for the ark, and thou shall finish it to a cubit upward. And thou shall set the door of the ark in the side of it, with lower, second, and third stories thou shall make it.
Ou va fè yon fenèt pou lach la, fè l rive yon koude mwens ke wotè li. Konsa, plase pòt lach la rive sou de kote li yo. Fè li ak pi ba, dezyèm, avèk twazyèm etaj.
17 And I, behold, I bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.
“Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen ap mennen delij dlo sou latè pou detwi tout chè ki gen souf lavi ladann, depi anba syèl la. Tout bagay ki sou latè va peri.
18 But I will establish my covenant with thee. And thou shall come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
“Men Mwen va etabli akò Mwen avèk ou. Konsa, ou va antre nan lach la—ou menm avèk fis ou yo, avèk madanm ou yo, madanm a fis ou yo ansanm avèk ou.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort thou shall bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee. They shall be male and female.
“Epi soti nan tout chè de tout kalite bèt k ap viv, ou va pote de nan chak espès pou antre nan lach la, pou kenbe yo vivan ak nou. Konsa, yo va mal avèk femèl.
20 Of the birds according to their kind, and of the cattle according to their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind. Two of every sort shall come to thee, to keep them alive.
“Nan zwazo yo selon espès pa yo, nan bèt yo selon espès pa yo, chak sa ki kouri atè reptil selon espès pa l. De nan chak espès va vin kote ou, pou ou ka kenbe yo toujou vivan.
21 And take thou to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee, and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
Pou ou menm, pran pou pwòp tèt ou kèk nan tout bagay ki kab manje, e rasanble yo pou ou menm. Yo va sèvi pou ou kòm manje pou ou, ak pou yo.”
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Konsa Noé te fè l. Selon tout sa ke Bondye te kòmande li, se konsa li te fè l.
The World is Destroyed by Water
