< 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.
परमप्रभुले नोआलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तँ र तेरा सबै जहान जहाजभित्र आओ । किनकि मेरो सामु यो पुस्तामा मैले तँलाई धर्मी देखेको छु ।
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;
हरेक जातका शुद्ध पशुबाट तैँले आफूसित सात भाले र सात पोथी ल्याउनू । अशुद्ध पशुहरूबाट चाहिँ तैँले दुईवटा अर्थात् भाले र पोथी ल्याउनू ।
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.
अनि आकाशका पक्षीहरूबाट तिनीहरूको जातिलाई पृथ्वीको सतहमा जीवित राख्‍न सात जोडी भाले र पोथी ल्याउनू ।
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.”
किनकि अबको सात दिनमा म चालिस दिन र चालिस रात पृथ्‍वीमा पानी बर्साउनेछु । मैले बनाएको हरेक जीवित प्राणीलाई म पृथ्वीको सतहबाट नष्‍ट गर्नेछु ।”
5 And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.
परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ नोआले सबै गरे ।
6 Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.
पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय हुँदा नोआ छ सय वर्षका थिए ।
7 And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.
जलप्रलयको पानीको कारणले नोआ, तिनका छोराहरू, तिनकी पत्‍नी र तिनका बुहारीहरू सँगसँगै जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
8 The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground
शुद्ध र अशुद्ध पशुहरू, पक्षीहरू र भुइँमा घस्रने हरेक प्राणी, परमेश्‍वरले नोआलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ
9 came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
भाले र पोथी गरी जोडी-जोडी नोआकहाँ आए र जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
10 And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.
सात दिनपछि पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलयको पानी पर्न लाग्यो ।
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.
नोआको जीवनको छ सय वर्षको दोस्रो महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा विशाल अगाधका मूलहरू फुटे र आकाशका झ्यालहरू खुले ।
12 And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
चालिस दिन र चालिस रातसम्म पृथ्वीमा पानी परिरह्‍यो ।
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—
त्यही दिनमा नोआ, तिनका छोराहरू शेम, हाम र येपेत अनि तिनकी पत्‍नी र तिनका तिन जना बुहारी जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
14 they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.
हरेक जङ्गली जनावरको जात-जातअनुसार, हरेक पाल्तु पशुको जात-जातअनुसार, भुइँमा घस्रने हरेक घस्रने जन्तुको जात-जातअनुसार र पखेटा भएको हरेक पक्षीको जात-जातअनुसार सँगसँगै तिनीहरू जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
15 They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.
जीवनको सास हुने सबै प्राणीका जोडी-जोडी नोआकहाँ आएर जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
16 And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.
भित्र प्रवेश गरेका प्राणीहरू सबैका भाले र पोथी थिए । परमेश्‍वरले आज्ञा दिनुभएझैँ तिनीहरू भित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले ढोका बन्द गरिदिनुभयो । अनि पृथ्वीमा चालिस दिनसम्म जलप्रलय भयो र पानीले जहाजलाई जमिनबाट माथि उचाल्यो ।
18 So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.
पानीले सारा पृथ्वीलाई पूर्ण रूपमा ढाक्यो अनि जहाज पानीको सतहमाथि तैरियो ।
19 Finally, the waters completely inundated the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
आकाशमुनिका सबै अग्‍ला-अग्‍ला पर्वतहरूलाई ढाक्‍ने गरी पृथ्वीमा पानी चौपट्टै भरियो ।
20 The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.
पानी पर्वतहरूको टुप्पोमा सात मिटर माथिसम्म आयो ।
21 And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.
पक्षीहरू, पालिने पशुहरू, जङ्गली जनावरहरू, जमिनमा ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा बसोबास गर्ने सबै प्राणी र सबै मानव-जाति जो पृथ्वीमा चलहल गर्थे, ती सबै मरे ।
22 Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
जमिनमा बस्‍ने सबै जीवित प्राणी जसले आ-आफ्ना नाकबाट जीवनको सास फेर्थे, ती सबै मरे ।
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.
यसरी, मानव-जातिदेखि ठुला जनावरहरू र घस्रने जन्तुसम्म पृथ्वीको सतहमा भएको हरेक प्राणीसाथै आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरू मासिए । तिनीहरू सबै नै पृथ्वीबाट नष्‍ट गरिए । नोआ र तिनीसित जहाजमा हुनेहरू मात्र बाँचे ।
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
एक सय पचास दिनसम्म पृथ्वीमा पानी घटेन ।
