Genesis 6
1 Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,
Leleꞌ naa, atahori bau ramaheta. Ara rasodꞌa nggari-nggari sia bee-bꞌee ndule raefafoꞌ ia. Ara o bꞌonggi ana inaꞌ ra boe.
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.
Lamatuaꞌ ana tou nara rita atahori ra ana fetoꞌ nara meulauꞌ. De reu sao ana feto fo sira hiiꞌ ra.
3 So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”
Boe ma LAMATUALAIN nae, “Au benggeꞌ a o atahori mana rasodꞌa tao leliꞌ ia ra. Dula-dale Ngga mana fee masodꞌa neu se, nda nau se rasodꞌa rakandoo sa ena. Ara musi mate. De mia ia, ara rasodꞌa losaꞌ a too natun esa rua nulu.”
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and afterward as well—when the sons of God had relations with the daughters of men. And they bore them children who became the mighty men of old, men of renown.
Leleꞌ naa, ma fai maꞌabuiꞌ ra, hambu atahori seleꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ena. Lamatualain ana tou nara sao atahori ra ana feto nara, de bꞌonggi atahori seleꞌ naa ra. Ara dadꞌi malangga matatiꞌ ra, fo mana nenebebenggaꞌ sia dudꞌui maꞌahulu na.
5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.
Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN nita atahori sia raefafoꞌ deꞌulaka na naseliꞌ ena. Rala nara duꞌa akaꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ rakandooꞌ a.
6 And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
De LAMATUALAIN fale rala Na, huu naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ se, ma fee se leo sia raefafoꞌ ia ena. Naa, nameraꞌ rala Na seli.
7 So the LORD said, “I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”
Naa de, Ana olaꞌ nae, “Dei fo Au tao ulutu atahori, fo Au uꞌudadadꞌiꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia. Au o tao ulutu mbuiꞌ ra ro banda feaꞌ ra, huu Au fale rala Ngga tao ala se ena.”
8 Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
Akaꞌ a Noh, tao namahoꞌo LAMATUALAIN rala Na.
9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.
Ia, Noh dudꞌui na. Ana tou na telu, nara nara Sem, Yafet ma Ham. Noh nasodꞌa ndoos, nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ sa. Ana nasodꞌa deka no Lamatualain. Ma leleꞌ naa, akaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne maloleꞌ.
10 And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.
Te Lamatualain nita atahori feaꞌ ra, basa se deꞌulakaꞌ. Sia bee-bꞌee atahori dala masodꞌa nara nda matetuꞌ sa. Lamatualain nita atahori sia raefafoꞌ, akaꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ ra.
12 And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.
13 Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth.
Boe ma Ana nafadꞌe Noh nae, “Sia bee-bꞌee, Au ita akaꞌ a atahori deꞌulaka nara. De Au uꞌetuꞌ ae tao ulutu raefafoꞌ ia no basa isi-oe na.
14 Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.
Dadꞌi taꞌo ia, Noh! Tao ofai esa mia hau manggateeꞌ. Sia ofai naa rala, tao kama-kama. Basa naa, dudꞌu ofai a ma leli e no ter.
15 And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
Tao ofai a nanaru na, meter natun esa telu nulu telu. Loloa na, meter rua nulu rua. Ma ataꞌ neu a, meter sanahulu telu.
16 You are to make a roof for the ark, finish its walls a cubit from the top, place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.
Tao ofai a ma mbuniꞌ. Te hela mbuni na onaꞌ a banggi rua meter esa mia ririndi na. Banggi ofai a neu tadꞌaꞌ telu ma tao lelesu esa neu bobꞌoa na.
17 And behold, I will bring floodwaters upon the earth to destroy every creature under the heavens that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will perish.
Musunedꞌa malolole! Dei fo Au uꞌondaꞌ oe mandaliꞌ monaeꞌ fo tao nisa basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia, losa nda hela saa saꞌ boe.
18 But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
Te Au ae tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ o nggo. Dei fo ofai rala muu mo sao ma, ana mara, ma ana feto feu mara.
19 And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.
Ho o musi haꞌi mala basa banda ra pasan beꞌe esaꞌ, ma mendi se ofai rala neu, fo ara rasodꞌa ro nggo boe. Haꞌi banda neꞌeboiꞌ ra, mbuiꞌ ra, ma banda mana nodꞌoꞌ ra, fo basa se rasodꞌa.
20 Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.
21 You are also to take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and gather it as food for yourselves and for the animals.”
Ho o musi mendi nanaat mataꞌ-mataꞌ nisiꞌ ofai rala neu, soaꞌ neu hei mo banda ra.”
22 So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
Boe ma, Noh tao tungga basa Lamatulain parenda Na.
The World is Destroyed by Water
