Genesis 6
1 And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,
Rĩrĩa andũ maambĩrĩirie kũingĩha thĩ na magĩciarĩrwo airĩtu-rĩ,
2 The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.
ariũ a Ngai makĩona atĩ airĩtu a andũ maarĩ athaka, nao makĩhikia o ũrĩa mũndũ ethuuragĩra.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.
Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Roho wakwa ndegũtũũra agianaga na mũndũ nginya tene, tondũ mũndũ nĩ wa gũkua; matukũ make marĩkoragwo marĩ mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.”
4 There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.
Na rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio, o na thuutha ũcio, rĩrĩa Anefili matũũraga gũkũ thĩ, nĩrĩo ariũ a Ngai maakomire na airĩtu a andũ na magĩciara ciana nao. Ciana icio nĩcio ciarĩ njamba cia tene na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta.
5 And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.
Jehova akĩona ũrĩa waganu wa andũ waingĩhĩte gũkũ thĩ, na atĩ merirĩria ma meciiria ma ngoro ciao maarĩ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe.
6 And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.
Jehova akĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa kũũmba mũndũ gũkũ thĩ, na ngoro yake ĩkĩiyũrwo nĩ ruo.
7 And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũniina andũ, o arĩa niĩ ndombire, mathire kuuma thĩ, andũ na nyamũ, na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ na kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa gũciũmba.”
8 But Noah had grace in the eyes of God.
No Nuhu agĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Nuhu. Nuhu aarĩ mũndũ mũthingu, ũtaarĩ na ũcuuke kũrĩ andũ a hĩndĩ yake, na nĩatwaranaga na Ngai.
10 And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Nuhu aarĩ na ariũ atatũ: nĩo Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu.
11 And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways.
Thĩ nayo yarĩ thũku maitho-inĩ ma Jehova na yaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maũndũ ma ũhinya.
12 And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.
Ngai nĩonire ũrĩa thĩ yathũkĩte, nĩgũkorwo andũ othe a thĩ nĩmathũkĩtie mĩthiĩre yao.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Nĩnduĩte itua kũniina andũ aya othe, nĩgũkorwo thĩ nĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ maũndũ ma ũhinya nĩ ũndũ wao. Ti-itherũ nĩngũmaniinanĩria hamwe na thĩ.
14 Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, wĩyakĩre thabina ya mĩtĩ ya mĩthithinda; na ũthondeke tũnyũmba thĩinĩ, na ũmĩhake rami thĩinĩ na nja.
15 And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
Na ũkũmĩaka ũũ: Ũraihu wa thabina ũkorwo ũrĩ buti magana mana na mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa buti mĩrongo mũgwanja na ithano na buti mĩrongo ĩna na ithano, kũraiha na igũrũ.
16 You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.
Ũmĩgite igũrũ, no ũtigie buti ĩmwe na nuthu mwena wa igũrũ wa thingo. Wĩkĩre mũrango mwena-inĩ wa thabina, na ũmĩake ĩrĩ na ngoroba ya thĩ, na ya gatagatĩ, na ya igũrũ.
17 For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.
Nĩngũrehe mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũkũ thĩ wa kũniina kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ, kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩrĩ na mĩhũmũ ya muoyo thĩinĩ wakĩo. Indo ciothe irĩ thĩ nĩikũniinwo.
18 But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
No nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro nawe. Wee nĩũgatoonya thabina, wee mwene na ariũ aku na mũtumia waku, na atumia a ariũ aku.
19 And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.
Ningĩ nĩũkaingĩria ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe thĩinĩ wa thabina, o mũthemba ciũmbe igĩrĩ, wa njamba na wa nga, nĩguo itũũre muoyo, o hamwe nawe.
20 Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.
O mũthemba wa nyoni, na o mũthemba wa nyamũ ciothe na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, nĩigooka kũrĩ we igĩrĩ igĩrĩ nĩguo itũũre muoyo.
21 And make a store of every sort of food for yourself and them.
Nĩũkamaatha mĩthemba yothe ya irio iria irĩĩagwo, ũciige irĩ irio ciaku na ciacio.”
22 And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.
Nuhu agĩĩka maũndũ mothe o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwathĩte eeke.
The World is Destroyed by Water
