Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them,
Lè sa a, moun te konmanse ap fè anpil anpil pitit sou latè. Yo te vin gen anpil pitit fi.
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took themselves wives of all that they chose.
Pitit gason Bondye yo te wè jan pitit fi lèzòm yo te bèl. Se konsa, nan fi yo te renmen yo, yo pran ladan yo pou madanm yo.
3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not always plead with Man; for he indeed is flesh; but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Lè Seyè a wè sa, li di: Mwen p'ap kite lèzòm viv pou tout tan, paske se moun ase yo ye. Se sanventan (120 an) sèlman pou yo viv.
4 In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne [children] to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown.
Lè sa a, epi pandan lontan apre sa, te vin gen sou latè yon ras moun wo anpil: se te pitit pitit fi lèzòm yo te fè pou pitit gason bondye yo. Se yo ki te vanyan gason nan tan lontan yo, kifè tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo.
5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually.
Seyè a wè jan lèzòm te mechan toupatou sou latè, ki jan tout lajounen se move lide ase ki te nan tèt yo.
6 And Jehovah repented that he had made Man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
Li vin règrèt li te fè moun sou latè. Kè l' vin sere ak lapenn.
7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth — from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.
Seyè a di: Mwen pral disparèt tout moun mwen te kreye yo, san kite yonn. Epi m'ap detwi ansanm ak yo tout tou bèt kat pat, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl, paske mwen règrèt anpil dèske mwen te fè yo.
8 But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah.
Men, Noe te fè Bondye plezi.
9 This is the history of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect amongst his generations: Noah walked with God.
Men pitit pitit Noe yo. Nan tout moun ki t'ap viv lè sa a, Noe te sèl moun ki t'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, ki pa t' nan anyen ki mal. Li t'ap mache byen ak Bondye.
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Li te gen twa pitit gason: Sèm, Kam ak Jafè.
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence.
Men, tout lòt moun yo te fin pouri devan Bondye. Toupatou sou latè se te mechanste sou mechanste.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
Bondye gade latè, li wè l' te fin pouri, paske tout moun sou latè te fin pèvèti.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Lè sa a, Bondye di Noe konsa: Mwen deside pou m' fini ak tout moun, paske se yo ki lakòz toupatou sou latè se mechanste ase. Wi, mwen pral detwi yo nèt ansanm ak tout sa ki sou latè.
14 Make thyself an ark of gopher wood: [with] cells shalt thou make the ark; and pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
Fè yon gwo batiman pou ou ak bwa pichpen. W'a fè anpil ti chanm ladan l'. W'a badijonnen l' byen badijonnen anndan kou deyò avèk goudwon.
15 And thus shalt thou make it: let the length of the ark be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Men ki jan pou ou fè l': Batiman an va gen katsansenkant (450) pye longè, swasannkenz pye lajè, ak karannsenk pye wotè.
16 A light shalt thou make to the ark; and to a cubit high shalt thou finish it above. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side: [with] a lower, second, and third [story] shalt thou make it.
W'a mete yon twati sou batiman an. W'a kite yon espas dizwit pous ant twati a ak rebò a. W'a louvri yon sèl pòt sou kote batiman an. W'a mete yon etaj anba, yon etaj nan mitan, yon etaj anwo.
17 For I, behold, I bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh under the heavens in which is the breath of life: everything that is on the earth shall expire.
Mwen pral voye yon gwo inondasyon dlo sou latè pou detwi tout sa k'ap viv anba syèl la. tout sa ki sou latè pral peri.
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt go into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Men, m'ap fè yon kontra avè ou. W'a antre nan batiman an, ou menm, pitit gason ou yo, madanm ou ansanm ak madanm pitit ou yo.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee: they shall be male and female.
W'a pran avèk ou tout yon pè nan tout kalite bèt, yon mal ak yon fenmèl. Wa fè yo antre nan batiman an ansanm ak ou pou yo pa mouri.
20 Of fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each shall go in to thee, to keep [them] alive.
Konsa, nan tout kalite zwazo, nan tout kalite bèt domestik, nan tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant yo, gen yon pè nan chak kalite ki va vin jwenn ou pou yo pa mouri.
21 And take thou of all food that is eaten, and gather [it] to thee, that it may be for food for thee and for them.
Ou menm bò pa ou, ranmase tout kalite manje, mezi ou kapab. Fè yon bèl pwovizyon mete la pou ou ka jwenn manje pou ou manje ansanm ak tout bèt yo tou.
22 And Noah did it; according to all that God had commanded him, so did he.
Se konsa Noe fè tout sa Bondye te ba li lòd fè a. Wi, se sa menm li te fè.
The World is Destroyed by Water
