< Genesis 7 >

1 And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age.
Mgbe ụbọchị ahụ zuru, Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ Noa sị ya, “Baa nʼime ụgbọ mmiri, gị na ezinaụlọ gị niile, nʼihi na nʼime ndị niile bi nʼọgbọ a, ọ bụ naanị gị bụ onye ezi omume m hụrụ.
2 Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: but of vncleane beastes by couples, the male and his female.
Kpọrọ ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a a gụrụ dịka ndị dị ọcha, dịka ụdị ha si dị asaa asaa, oke na nwunye. Otu a kwa, kpọrọkwa ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a gụrụ dịka ndị na-adịghị ọcha, dịka ụdị ha si dị, abụọ abụọ, oke na nwunye,
3 Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth.
na ụmụ anụ ufe asaa asaa, dịka ụdị ha si dị, oke na nwunye, maka idebe ụdị ndị a niile ndụ nʼụwa.
4 For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth.
Nʼihi na ụbọchị asaa site taa, aga m ezidata mmiri ozuzo nʼụwa. Mmiri a ga-ezo iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị. Aga m ekpochapụ site nʼelu ụwa ihe niile nwere ndụ nke m kere.”
5 Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him.
Ya mere, Noa mere ihe niile Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
6 And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth.
Noa gbara narị afọ isii mgbe mmiri ukwu a bidoro izo nʼelu ụwa.
7 So Noah entred and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke, because of the waters of the flood.
Noa banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, ya na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na nwunye ya, na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya ndị ikom ịgbanarị uju mmiri ahụ.
8 Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that creepeth vpon the earth,
Ụmụ anụmanụ ndị dị ọcha, na ndị na-adịghị ọcha, abụọ abụọ, tinyere anụ ufe na ihe niile e kere eke na-akpụgharị nʼala, abụọ abụọ kwa,
9 There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
oke na nwunye, bịakwutere Noa soro ya banye nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, dịka Chineke nyere Noa nʼiwu.
10 And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth.
Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, uju mmiri ahụ bịakwasịrị ụwa.
11 In the sixe hundreth yeere of Noahs life in the second moneth, the seuetenth day of the moneth, in the same day were all the fountaines of the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened,
Nʼafọ narị isii nke ndụ Noa, nʼọnwa nke abụọ, nʼụbọchị nke iri na asaa, bụ ụbọchị isi iyi niile dị nʼime ime ala nupụtara nʼelu ala, mmiri niile dị na mbara eluigwe ka a hapụrụ ka ha wụdata nʼụwa.
12 And the raine was vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes.
Mmiri zogịdere na-esepụghị aka iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị.
13 In the selfe same day entred Noah with Shem, and Ham and Iapheth, the sonnes of Noah, and Noahs wife, and the three wiues of his sonnes with them into the Arke.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ kpomkwem, Noa banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, ya na Shem, Ham na Jafet, bụ ụmụ Noa, na nwunye Noa, na ndị nwunye atọ nke ụmụ ya.
14 They and euery beast after his kinde, and all cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth after his kinde, and euery foule after his kinde, euen euery bird of euery fether.
Ha onwe ha, na anụ ọhịa ọbụla, nʼụdị ya, na anụ ụlọ ọbụla, nʼụdị ya na ihe ọbụla e kere eke na-akpụgharị nʼala, nʼụdị ya, na anụ ufe ọbụla nʼụdị ya, na aha nnụnụ ọbụla na ihe ọbụla nwere nku.
15 For they came to Noah into ye Arke, two and two, of all flesh wherein is ye breath of life.
Ha bịakwutere Noa nʼime ụgbọ mmiri ahụ, abụọ abụọ site nʼihe niile ọbụla e kere eke, nke nwere ume ndụ nʼime ha.
16 And they entring in, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
Ma ndị banyerenụ bụ oke na nwunye, site na ihe niile nwere ndụ dịka Chineke nyere ya nʼiwu. Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mechiri ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ.
17 Then ye flood was fourtie dayes vpon the earth, and the waters were increased, and bare vp the Arke, which was lift vp aboue the earth.
Uju mmiri nọgidere nʼụwa iri ụbọchị anọ. Mgbe mmiri ndị a na-aba ụba, ha buliri ụgbọ mmiri ahụ elu site nʼelu ala.
18 The waters also waxed strong, and were increased exceedingly vpon the earth, and the Arke went vpon the waters.
Mmiri ndị a toro na-ala elu na-abawanyekwa ụba nʼelu ụwa. Ụgbọ mmiri ahụ segooro nʼelu mmiri.
19 The waters preuailed so exceedingly vpon the earth, that all the high mountaines, that are vnder the whole heauen, were couered.
Mmiri ndị ahụ toro laa elu kpuchie ugwu ukwu niile dị nʼokpuru mbara eluigwe.
20 Fifteene cubites vpwarde did the waters preuaile, when the mountaines were couered.
Mmiri ndị a toro kpuchiri ugwu niile, ruo na ịla elu mmiri ndị a site nʼelu ugwu ukwu niile ruru mita asaa.
21 Then all flesh perished that moued vpon the earth, both foule and cattell and beast, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, and euery man.
Ihe niile nwere ndụ nke na-ejegharị nʼelu ụwa kubiri ume. Anụ ufe, na anụ ụlọ, na anụ ọhịa, na ihe niile e kere eke jupụtara nʼụwa, na ụmụ mmadụ niile.
22 Euery thing in whose nostrels the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoeuer they were in the drie land, they died.
Ee, ihe niile na-eku ume nke bi nʼelu ala nwụrụ.
23 So he destroyed euery thing that was vpon the earth, from man to beast, to ye creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: they were euen destroyed from the earth. And Noah onely remained; and they that were with him in ye Arke.
Ihe niile nwere ume ndụ nʼelu ụwa ka e kpochapụrụ. Mmadụ na anụmanụ, na anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala na nnụnụ niile. A lara ha niile nʼiyi. Ma ọ bụ naanị Noa na ndị niile so ya nọdụ nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ ka a hapụrụ ndụ.
24 And the waters preuailed vpon the earth an hundreth and fiftie dayes.
Narị ụbọchị na iri ụbọchị ise ka mmiri dọọrọ nʼelu ụwa dum.
