Genesis 6
1 So when men began to be multiplied vpon the earth, and there were daughters borne vnto them,
Abantu bwe beeyongera obungi ku nsi ne bazaalirwa abaana aboobuwala.
2 Then the sonnes of God sawe the daughters of men that they were faire, and they tooke them wiues of all that they liked.
Abaana ba Katonda ne balaba ng’abawala abo balungi ne bawasa buli gwe beerondera.
3 Therefore the Lord saide, My Spirit shall not alway striue with man, because he is but flesh, and his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeeres.
Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Omwoyo wange taawakanenga na muntu emirembe gyonna, kubanga muntu buntu; n’ennaku ze ziriba emyaka kikumi mu abiri.”
4 There were gyants in the earth in those dayes: yea, and after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of men, and they had borne them children, these were mightie men, which in olde time were men of renoume.
Mu nnaku ezo, abaana ba Katonda bwe beegatta n’abawala b’abantu abo, ne babazaalamu abaana; be Banefuli abaali abatutumufu ennyo era abalwanyi abeekitalo mu biseera ebyo era ne mu biro ebyaddirira.
5 When the Lord sawe that the wickednesse of man was great in the earth, and all the imaginations of the thoughtes of his heart were onely euill continually,
Mukama n’alaba ng’ekibi ky’omuntu kiyinze nnyo ku nsi; nga buli ndowooza y’omutima gw’omuntu mbi njereere ebbanga lyonna.
6 Then it repented ye Lord, that he had made man in the earth, and he was sorie in his heart.
Mukama n’anakuwala nnyo kubanga yatonda omuntu ku nsi, n’alumwa nnyo mu mutima gwe.
7 Therefore ye Lord said, I will destroy from the earth the man, whom I haue created, from man to beast, to the creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: for I repent that I haue made them.
Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Ndiggya ku nsi omuntu gwe natonda, ndisaanyaawo omuntu, n’ensolo n’ebinyonyi, kubanga nejjusizza olw’okubitonda.”
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Kyokka ye Nuuwa n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a iust and vpright man in his time: and Noah walked with God.
Bino bye bifa ku Nuuwa n’ab’omu nju ye: Nuuwa yali muntu mutuukirivu, nga taliiko kya kunenyezebwa mu bantu b’ekiseera kye, n’atambula ne Katonda.
10 And Noah begate three sonnes, Shem, Ham and Iapheth.
Nuuwa yalina batabani be basatu: Seemu ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God: for the earth was filled with crueltie.
Ensi yali nnyonoonefu mu maaso ga Katonda era ng’ejjudde eddalu.
12 Then God looked vpon the earth, and beholde, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupt his way vpon the earth.
Katonda n’alaba ensi, era laba, ng’eyonoonese mu kweyisa kwayo kubanga buli muntu yenna yali kyetwala nga tewakyali mutuukirivu.
13 And God said vnto Noah, An ende of all flesh is come before me: for the earth is filled with crueltie through them: and beholde, I wil destroy them with the earth.
Katonda kwe kugamba Nuuwa nti, “Mmaliridde okuzikiriza buli muntu, kubanga ensi ejjudde eddalu; laba, nzija kubazikiriza mbamalewo ku nsi.
14 Make thee an Arke of pine trees: thou shalt make cabines in the Arke, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Naye ggwe Nuuwa weekolere eryato mu muti gofeeri, okolemu ebisenge, olibikke n’envumbo munda ne kungulu.
15 And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the Arke shalbe three hundreth cubites, the breadth of it fiftie cubites, and the height of it thirtie cubites.
Bw’oti bw’oba olikola: obuwanvu bwalyo mita kikumi mu ana, n’obugazi mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu, n’obugulumivu mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu.
16 A windowe shalt thou make in the Arke, and in a cubite shalt thou finish it aboue, and the doore of the Arke shalt thou set in the side thereof: thou shalt make it with the lowe, seconde and third roume.
Bw’oliba olizimba, waggulu oteekangayo akasolya nga kabika kimu kyakubiri ekya mita. Omulyango gwalyo oguteekanga mu mbiriizi zaalyo. Okolanga eryato lya kalinassatu, ery’emyaliiro: ogwa wansi n’ogwokubiri, n’ogwokusatu.
17 And I, beholde, I will bring a flood of waters vpon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life vnder the heauen: all that is in the earth shall perish.
Ndireeta amataba ku nsi, okuzikiriza buli kiramu, ekissa omukka, ekiri wansi w’eggulu; buli ekiri ku nsi kya kufa.
18 But with thee will I establish my couenant, and thou shalt goe into the Arke, thou, and thy sonnes, and thy wife, and thy sonnes wiues with thee.
Naye ndikola endagaano naawe. Oliyingira mu lyato, ggwe, ne mukazi wo, ne batabani bo, ne baka batabani bo wamu naawe.
19 And of euery liuing thing, of all flesh two of euery sort shalt thou cause to come into the Arke, to keepe them aliue with thee: they shalbe male and female.
Oliyingira mu lyato na buli kiramu ekirina omubiri; oliyingiza bibiri bibiri ekisajja n’ekikazi bibeere biramu naawe.
20 Of the foules, after their kinde, and of the cattell after their kind, of euery creeping thing of the earth after his kinde, two of euery sort shall come vnto thee, that thou mayest keepe them aliue.
Ku binyonyi ebya buli ngeri, ne ku nsolo eza buli ngeri, na buli ekyewalula ekya buli ngeri, bibiri bibiri ebya buli ngeri birijja gy’oli, bibeere biramu.
21 And take thou with thee of all meate that is eaten: and thou shalt gather it to thee, that it may be meate for thee and for them.
Era twala buli ngeri ya mmere eriibwa, ogitereke; eriba mmere yo n’ebiramu byo.”
22 Noah therefore did according vnto all, that God commanded him: euen so did he.
Nuuwa n’akola byonna nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
The World is Destroyed by Water
