Genesis 7
1 Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Toonya thabina thĩinĩ, wee na nyũmba yaku yothe, tondũ nĩnyonete ũrĩ mũthingu rũciaro-inĩ rũrũ.
2 You are to take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate;
Na ũtoonye thĩinĩ na nyamũ mũgwanja mũgwanja cia mĩthemba yothe ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ thaahu, o njamba na nga yayo, na igĩrĩ igĩrĩ cia mĩthemba yothe ĩrĩa ĩrĩ thaahu, o njamba na nga yayo,
3 and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of all the earth.
o na ningĩ ũtoonye na nyoni mũgwanja mũgwanja cia mĩthemba yothe, o njamba na nga yayo, nĩgeetha mĩthemba yacio ĩtũũrio muoyo thĩ yothe.
4 For seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”
Thikũ mũgwanja kuuma rĩu, nĩnguuria mbura, yure gũkũ thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna mũthenya na ũtukũ, na niine ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ muoyo iria niĩ ndombire, ithire thĩ.”
5 And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.
Nake Nuhu agĩĩka ũrĩa wothe Mwathani aamwathĩte eeke.
6 Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.
Nuhu aarĩ na mĩaka magana matandatũ rĩrĩa mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ waiyũrire thĩ.
7 And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.
Nake Nuhu na ariũ ake na mũtumia wake na atumia a ariũ ake magĩtoonya thabina morĩre mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ.
8 The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground
Nyamũ igĩrĩ igĩrĩ iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu cia nyoni o na cia ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ,
9 came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
njamba na nga-rĩ, igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu.
10 And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.
Na thuutha wa matukũ mũgwanja mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũkĩiyũra thĩ.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa ikũmi na mũgwanja, mweri wa keerĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Nuhu akinyirie mĩaka magana matandatũ-rĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩguo ithima cia maaĩ ciothe cia kũrĩa kũriku ciatuthũkire, nacio ihingo cia mũiyũro wa igũrũ ikĩhingũrwo.
12 And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
Nayo mbura ĩkiura thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ.
13 On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons—
Mũthenya o ro ũcio nĩguo Nuhu na ariũ ake, Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu, hamwe na mũtumia wake na atumia a ariũ ake atatũ maatoonyire thabina.
14 they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.
Nao maarĩ na mĩthemba yothe ya nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o nyamũ kũringana na mũthemba wayo, na mahiũ mothe kũringana na mĩthemba yamo, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na nyoni ciothe kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ mathagu.
15 They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.
Ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ mĩhũmũ ya muoyo igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina igĩrĩ igĩrĩ.
16 And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.
Nyamũ iria ciatoonyire thĩinĩ ciarĩ njamba na nga cia mĩthemba yothe ya indo iria irĩ muoyo, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu. Nake Jehova akĩmũhingĩrĩria thĩinĩ.
17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.
Handũ ha matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũiyũro ũcio ũgĩthiĩ na mbere kuongerereka thĩ, na o ũrĩa maaĩ macio maingĩhaga makĩoya thabina ĩyo na igũrũ mũno na ĩkĩreera igũrũ rĩa maaĩ.
18 So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.
Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra na makĩongerereka mũno gũkũ thĩ, nayo thabina ĩkĩreera maaĩ igũrũ.
19 Finally, the waters completely inundated the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra mũno igũrũ wa thĩ, nacio irĩma ciothe iria ndaaya na igũrũ gũkũ mũhuro wa matu guothe ikĩhumbĩrwo nĩmo.
20 The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.
Maaĩ macio maambatire makĩhumbĩra irĩma na makĩria ma buti mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
21 And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo na gĩathiiaga gũkũ thĩ gĩgĩkua, nyoni, na mahiũ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ciahunjĩte thĩ, o na andũ othe.
22 Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ thĩ nyũmũ na kĩarĩ na mĩhũmũ ya muoyo maniũrũ-inĩ makĩo gĩgĩkua.
23 And every living thing on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ guothe gĩkĩniinwo biũ; andũ na nyamũ na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ ikĩniinwo ciothe gũkũ thĩ. No Nuhu watigarire hamwe na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake thĩinĩ wa thabina.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
Maaĩ macio magĩikara mahumbĩrĩte thĩ matukũ igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩtano.
The Great Flood
