Genesis 6
1 And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,
Mgbe ndị mmadụ bidoro mụbaa nʼụwa, mgbe a mụtakwaara ha ọtụtụ ụmụ ndị inyom,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.
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 the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.
O wutere Onyenwe anyị nke ukwuu na o kere mmadụ, mkpụrụobi ya jupụtakwara nʼihe mgbu.
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.
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 had grace in the eyes of God.
Ma Noa nwetara ihuọma nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
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.
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 had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noa mụtara ụmụ ndị ikom atọ aha ha bụ, Shem, Ham, na Jafet.
11 And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways.
Ma nʼanya Chineke, ụwa bụ ihe rụrụ arụ, jupụtakwa nʼihe ike.
12 And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on 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; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to 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 for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.
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 the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Ị ga-ewebata ihe niile e kere eke dị ndụ, abụọ abụọ, oke na nwunye, ichebe ha ndụ.
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.
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 make a store of every sort of food for yourself and 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 And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.
Noa mere ihe niile dịka Chineke nyere ya iwu ime.
The World is Destroyed by Water
