< 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.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ, “Wo ne wo fiefoɔ nyinaa nkɔ Adaka no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, asase so nnipa nyinaa no, wo na mahunu sɛ woyɛ ɔteneneeni.
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.
Fa mmoa a wɔn ho te biara, anini nson ne abereɛ nson ka wo ho. Na fa mmoa biara a wɔn ho nte nso mmienu, onini ne ɔbereɛ.
3 Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth.
Na fa nnomaa biara anini nson ne abereɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nsuyire no akyiri no, wɔn ase bɛfɛe.
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.
Nnanson sɛ ɛnnɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ, mɛma osuo atɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan. Mɛpepa abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a mabɔ afiri asase so.”
5 Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him.
Noa dii nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa so.
6 And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth.
Ɛberɛ a nsuyire baa asase so no, na Noa adi mfeɛ aha nsia.
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 ne ne mmammarima ne ne yere ne ne nsenom mmaa kɔhyɛɛ adaka no mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nsuyire no renka wɔn.
8 Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that creepeth vpon the earth,
Mmoa a wɔn ho te ne wɔn a wɔn ho nte, nnomaa ne mmoa a wɔwea fam,
9 There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
mmienu mmienu a wɔyɛ anini ne abereɛ kɔkaa Noa ho wɔ adaka no mu, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
10 And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth.
Na nnanson no akyiri no, nsuyire no hyɛɛ aseɛ.
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,
Noa dii mfeɛ ahansia no mu no, bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunson no, nsutire a ɛwɔ asase mu no nyinaa bobɔeɛ, na ɛsoro mpomma nso buebueeɛ.
12 And the raine was vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes.
Osuo tɔɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan.
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.
Saa ɛda no ara, Noa ne ne mmammarima Sem, Ham ne Yafet ne ne yere ne ne mmammarima baasa no yerenom kɔhyɛɛ adaka no mu.
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.
Na wiram mmoa ahodoɔ ne nyɛmmoa ahodoɔ ne aboa biara a ɔnam asase so ne anomaa biara ne abɔdeɛ biara a ɛwɔ ntaban ka wɔn ho wɔ Adaka no mu.
15 For they came to Noah into ye Arke, two and two, of all flesh wherein is ye breath of life.
Abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ wɔn mu mmienu mmienu baa Noa nkyɛn bɛwuraa Adaka no mu.
16 And they entring in, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
Mmoa a wɔwuraa mu no nyinaa, na wɔyɛ anini ne abereɛ, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa no. Afei, Awurade kaa Noa hyɛɛ adaka no mu, too no mu.
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.
Nsuyire no toaa so adaduanan asase so. Ɛmaa Adaka no so ma ɛtɛɛ nsuo no ani.
18 The waters also waxed strong, and were increased exceedingly vpon the earth, and the Arke went vpon the waters.
Nsuo no kɔɔ so yirii tɛnn wɔ asase so, ma Adaka no tɛɛ nsuo no ani.
19 The waters preuailed so exceedingly vpon the earth, that all the high mountaines, that are vnder the whole heauen, were couered.
Nsuo no yirii tɛntɛntɛn wɔ asase so ara kɔsii sɛ, ɛkataa mmepɔ atentene akɛseɛ a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa so.
20 Fifteene cubites vpwarde did the waters preuaile, when the mountaines were couered.
Nsuo no yirii ara kɔsii sɛ ɛkataa mmepɔ no so boroo so anammɔn aduonu.
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.
Abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛnam asase so te sɛ nnomaa, wiram mmoa a wɔwea asase so ne adasamma ase hyeeɛ.
22 Euery thing in whose nostrels the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoeuer they were in the drie land, they died.
Biribiara a ɛte asase kesee so nso ase hyeeɛ.
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.
Wɔpepaa biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛte asase so no. Nnipa ne mmoa ne abɔdeɛ a wɔnam asase so ne ewiem nnomaa nyinaa nso, wɔpepaa wɔn firii asase so. Ɛkaa Noa ne wɔn a na wɔka ne ho wɔ adaka no mu nko ara.
24 And the waters preuailed vpon the earth an hundreth and fiftie dayes.
Nsuyire no toaa so asase so nnafua ɔha aduonum.
