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,
Mgbe ndị mmadụ bidoro mụbaa nʼụwa, mgbe a mụtakwaara ha ọtụtụ ụmụ ndị inyom,
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.
ka ụmụ ndị ikom Chineke bidoro ilekwasị ụmụ ndị inyom ndị mmadụ anya, hụ na ha mara mma. Ha duuru ndị inyom ọbụla masịrị ha ka ha bụrụ nwunye ha.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Mmụọ m na mmadụ agaghị anọgide nʼịgba mgba nʼime mmadụ ruo ebighị ebi, nʼihi na mmadụ efu ka ọ bụ. Ọnụọgụgụ ndụ ya ga-abụ narị afọ na iri afọ abụọ.”
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.
Ndị Nefilim nọ nʼụwa nʼoge ahụ, ma nʼoge sotere ya mgbe ahụ, ụmụ ndị ikom Chineke na-abakwuru ndị inyom ụmụ mmadụ, site na mmekọrịta dị otu a mụọ ụmụ. Ndị a bụ ndị dike mgbe ochie ahụ, ndị a ma ama.
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.
Onyenwe anyị hụrụ otu ịba ụba nke ajọ omume mmadụ si dị ukwuu, hụkwa na echiche uche nke obi ya niile dị naanị nʼime ihe ọjọọ, mgbe niile.
6 And Jehovah regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
O wutere Onyenwe anyị nke ukwuu na o kere mmadụ, mkpụrụobi ya jupụtakwara nʼihe mgbu.
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.
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Aga m esi nʼụwa kpochapụ mmadụ niile m kere eke. E e, mmadụ na anụmanụ niile, na ihe e kere eke na-akpụgharị nʼelu ala, na anụ ufe niile. Nʼihi na o wutere m na m kere ha.”
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
Ma Noa nwetara ihuọma nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro ndụ Noa na ezinaụlọ ya. Noa bụ onye ezi omume. Onye na-enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla nʼetiti ndị bi nʼoge ya. O mere ihe nʼụzọ Chineke chọrọ ya.
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noa mụtara ụmụ ndị ikom atọ aha ha bụ, Shem, Ham, na Jafet.
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Ma nʼanya Chineke, ụwa bụ ihe rụrụ arụ, jupụtakwa nʼihe ike.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
Chineke hụrụ otu ụwa si jọgbuo onwe ya na njọ, hụkwa na ụmụ mmadụ bụ ndị ihe ọjọọ riri ahụ.
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.
Chineke sịrị Noa, “Aga m ebibi ihe niile bụ mmadụ, nʼihi na ụwa jupụtara nʼihe ike nʼihi omume mmadụ. E e, aga m ebibi ụwa na ndị niile nọ nʼime ya.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood. Thou shall make rooms in the ark, and shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
Ya mere, jiri osisi gofa wuore onwe gị ụgbọ mmiri. Rụnye ọtụtụ ọnụụlọ nʼime ya. Jiri korota techie elu ya na ime ya.
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.
Otu a ka i ga-esi wuo ya: mee ka ogologo ụgbọ mmiri ahụ dịrị narị mita na iri mita anọ, obosara ya dịrị iri mita abụọ na atọ, ịdị elu ya dịrị mita iri na atọ na ọkara.
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.
Meere ụgbọ mmiri ahụ ihe e ji ekpuchi elu ya. Mekwa oghere ga-adị ọkara mita site nʼebe ihe mkpuchi elu ụgbọ mmiri ahụ gbadata. Tinye ọnụ ụzọ nʼakụkụ ụgbọ mmiri ahụ, ma rụọkwa okpukpu nkwasa atọ, nke ala ala, nke etiti na nke elu elu.
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.
Nʼihi na aga m eweta uju mmiri nʼụwa, ibibi ihe niile nwere ndụ dị nʼokpuru eluigwe. Ihe niile e kere eke na-eku ume ndụ ga-anwụ. Ihe niile nọ nʼụwa ga-ala nʼiyi.
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.
Ma aga m eme ka ọgbụgba ndụ m dịrị gị. Ị ga-abanye nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom, na nwunye gị, na ndị nwunye ụmụ gị ndị ikom.
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.
Ị ga-ewebata ihe niile e kere eke dị ndụ, abụọ abụọ, oke na nwunye, ichebe ha ndụ.
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.
Ụdị nnụnụ dị iche iche, abụọ abụọ, na ụdị anụmanụ ọbụla dị iche iche, na ụdị anụ na-akpụ akpụ dị iche iche, ga-abịakwute gị ka i debe ha ndụ.
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.
Ị ga-ewebata ụdị nri dị iche iche a na-eri eri, chịkọtaa ha ka ọ bụrụ nri nke gị na nke ha.”
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Noa mere ihe niile dịka Chineke nyere ya iwu ime.
The World is Destroyed by Water
