Genesis 7
1 The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation.
Yawe alobaki na Noa: « Kota na masuwa, yo mpe libota na yo mobimba, pamba te yo kaka nde omonani sembo na miso na Ngai kati na bato ya ekeke oyo.
2 Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.
Kamata banyama sambo ya mibali mpe sambo ya basi kati na banyama ya lolenge nyonso oyo ezangi mbindo; mpe nyama moko ya mobali mpe moko ya mwasi kati na banyama oyo ezali mbindo.
3 In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.
Kamata lisusu bandeke sambo ya mibali mpe sambo ya basi kati na lolenge nyonso ya bandeke mpo ete esila te kati na mokili.
4 In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
Pamba te etikali mikolo sambo mpo ete nanokisa mvula oyo ekowumela mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei mpe nakosilisa koboma bikelamu nyonso oyo nasala kati na mokili oyo. »
5 Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
Bongo, Noa asalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
6 Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
Noa azalaki na mibu nkama motoba ya mbotama tango mpela eyaki na mokili.
7 Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.
Noa mpe bana na ye ya mibali elongo na mwasi na ye mpe basi ya bana na ye bakotaki na masuwa mpo ete babika na mpela.
8 Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
Kati na banyama ya lolenge nyonso, moko ya mobali mpe moko ya mwasi, ezala oyo ezanga mbindo to oyo ezali mbindo, bandeke mpe banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu
9 went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
eyaki epai na Noa mpe ekotaki na masuwa, mwasi na mobali, ndenge Nzambe atindaki Noa.
10 After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.
Bongo sima na mikolo sambo, mpela eyaki na mokili.
11 Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
Tango Noa akokisaki mibu nkama motoba ya mbotama, na sanza ya mibale, na mokolo ya zomi na sambo, bitima nyonso ya se mpe maninisa nyonso ya likolo efungwamaki.
12 Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
Mvula enokaki na mokili mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei.
13 That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark.
Kaka na mokolo wana, Noa mpe bana na ye ya mibali: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti, elongo na mwasi na ye mpe basi misato ya bana na ye, bakotaki na masuwa.
14 They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
Elongo na bango, ekotaki mpe banyama ya zamba ya lolenge nyonso, bibwele ya lolenge nyonso, bikelamu ya lolenge nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bandeke ya lolenge nyonso mpe bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu.
15 They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
Mwasi na mobali, kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi, eyaki epai ya Noa mpo na kokota na masuwa.
16 A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
Banyama nyonso oyo ekotaki kuna ezalaki mwasi na mobali kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi, ndenge Nzambe atindaki Noa. Sima, Yawe akangaki ekuke ya masuwa.
17 The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.
Mpela ewumelaki na mokili mikolo tuku minei; mayi ekomaki ebele mpe etombolaki masuwa likolo na yango.
18 The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
Mayi emataki mpe ekomaki ebele, bongo masuwa ekomaki kotepatepa likolo ya mayi.
19 Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
Mayi emataki lisusu makasi mpe bangomba nyonso ya milayi oyo ezalaki na mokili ezindaki na se ya mayi.
20 The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
Mayi emataki lisusu likolo ya bangomba na bosanda ya bametele pene sambo to mwambe.
21 Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
Bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi kati na mokili ekufaki, ezala bandeke, bibwele, banyama ya zamba to mpe banyama ya mike-mike oyo etambolaka na mabele to mpe bato nyonso.
22 Everything on land that breathed, died.
Nyonso oyo ezalaki na pema ya bomoi ekufaki kati na mokili.
23 The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.
Boye, Yawe alongolaki kati na mokili bikelamu nyonso oyo ezalaki na bomoi, kobanda na moto kino na ebwele, ekelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe ndeke ya likolo; alongolaki bango na mokili mpe etikalaki kaka Noa na ba-oyo bazalaki na ye elongo na masuwa.
24 The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
Mayi etondaki na mokili mikolo nkama moko na tuku mitano.
The Great Flood
