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.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Noa, “Ingia katika safina wewe na jamaa yako yote, kwa sababu katika kizazi hiki nimeona ya kuwa wewe ni mwenye haki.
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.
Uchukue wanyama saba walio safi wa kila aina, wa kiume na wa kike, na wanyama wawili wawili wa kila aina walio najisi wa kiume na wa kike.
3 In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.
Pia uchukue ndege saba walio safi wa kila aina, wa kiume na wa kike, ili kuhifadhi aina zao mbalimbali katika dunia yote.
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.”
Siku saba kuanzia sasa nitaleta mvua juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini usiku na mchana, nami nitafutilia mbali kutoka uso wa nchi kila kiumbe hai nilichokiumba.”
5 Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
Noa akafanya yote kama Bwana alivyomwamuru.
6 Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
Noa alikuwa na miaka 600 gharika ilipokuja juu ya dunia.
7 Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.
Noa na mkewe na wanawe na wake zao wakaingia katika safina ili waepuke ile gharika.
8 Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
Jozi ya wanyama walio safi na walio najisi, ndege na viumbe vitambaavyo,
9 went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
wa kiume na wa kike, walikuja kwa Noa wakaingia katika safina kama Mungu alivyomwamuru Noa.
10 After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.
Baada ya siku saba, maji ya gharika yakaja juu ya dunia.
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.
Katika siku ya kumi na saba ya mwezi wa pili mwaka wa 600 wa kuishi kwake Noa, siku hiyo ndipo chemchemi zote hata zilizo chini sana ya ardhi zilibubujika kwa nguvu, na malango ya mafuriko ya mbinguni yakafunguliwa.
12 Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
Mvua ikanyesha juu ya nchi siku arobaini usiku na mchana.
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.
Siku hiyo Noa, na mkewe, na wanawe Shemu, Hamu na Yafethi pamoja na wake zao wakaingia katika ile safina.
14 They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
Nao walikuwa pamoja na kila mnyama wa mwituni kufuatana na aina yake, wanyama wote wafugwao kufuatana na aina zao, kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya ardhi kwa aina yake, na kila ndege kufuatana na aina yake, naam kila kiumbe chenye mabawa.
15 They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
Viumbe vyote vyenye pumzi ya uhai ndani yake vikaja kwa Noa viwili viwili, vikaingia katika safina.
16 A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
Wanyama walioingia katika safina walikuwa wa kiume na wa kike, wa kila kiumbe chenye uhai kama Mungu alivyomwamuru Noa, ndipo Bwana akamfungia ndani.
17 The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.
Kwa siku arobaini mafuriko yaliendelea kujaa duniani na maji yalivyozidi kuongezeka, yaliinua safina juu sana kutoka kwenye uso wa nchi.
18 The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
Maji yakajaa na kuongezeka sana juu ya nchi, na safina ikaelea juu ya uso wa maji.
19 Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
Maji yakazidi kujaa juu ya nchi, yakaifunika milima yote mirefu chini ya mbingu yote.
20 The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
Maji yakaendelea kujaa yakaifunika milima kwa kina cha zaidi ya dhiraa kumi na tano.
21 Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
Kila kiumbe hai kitambaacho juu ya nchi kikaangamia: Ndege, wanyama wa kufugwa, wanyama pori, viumbe vyote juu ya nchi na wanadamu wote.
22 Everything on land that breathed, died.
Kila kiumbe juu ya nchi kavu chenye pumzi ya uhai kikafa.
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.
Kila kitu chenye uhai juu ya uso wa nchi kilifutiliwa mbali, watu, wanyama, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege warukao angani wakafutiliwa mbali toka duniani. Waliobaki ni Noa peke yake na wale waliokuwa pamoja naye ndani ya safina.
24 The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
Maji yakaifunika dunia kwa siku 150.
The Great Flood
