Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Tango bato babandaki kokoma ebele na mokili mpe babotaki bana basi,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives, whomsoever they chose.
milimo emonaki ete bana basi ya bato bazali kitoko; boye ekomisaki ba-oyo eponaki basi na yango.
3 And the LORD said: 'My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for that he also is flesh; therefore shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.'
Yango wana, Yawe alobaki: « Pema na Ngai ekowumela libela te kati na moto, pamba te abengami na kokufa; mibu ya bomoi na ye ekozala kaka nkama moko na tuku mibale. »
4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
Na tango wana, ezalaki na bingambe kati na mokili; mpe lisusu, milimo esangisaki nzoto na bana basi ya bato, bongo bana basi babotelaki yango bana. Bana yango bazalaki bilombe na tango ya kala, bato oyo bakenda sango.
5 And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Yawe amonaki ndenge nini mabe ya moto ekomaki mingi kati na mokili, mpe tango nyonso, makanisi ya motema ya moto ezalaki kaka mabe.
6 And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
Boye Yawe ayokaki mawa na ndenge akelaki moto kati na mokili mpe abongolaki makanisi na Ye.
7 And the LORD said: 'I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and creeping thing, and fowl of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have made them.'
Boye Yawe alobaki: « Nakosilisa koboma kati na mokili bato oyo nakelaki; solo, nakosilisa koboma bato kino na bibwele, na bandeke ya likolo mpe na bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu kati na mokili, pamba te nabongoli makanisi na Ngai na ndenge nakelaki bango. »
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Kasi Noa azwaki ngolu na miso ya Yawe.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was in his generations a man righteous and whole-hearted; Noah walked with God.
Tala lisolo ya libota ya Noa. Noa azalaki moto ya sembo mpe azanga pamela kati na bato ya tango na ye; azalaki kosala mokano ya Nzambe.
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noa azalaki na bana mibali misato: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti.
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Mokili ebebaki na miso ya Nzambe mpe etondaki na makambo ya mobulu.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
Nzambe amonaki ndenge mokili ebebaki, pamba te bato nyonso ya mokili babebisaki banzela na bango.
13 And God said unto Noah: 'The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Boye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa: « Nazwi mokano ya koboma bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi, pamba te mokili etondi na mabe likolo na bango. Solo, nakobebisa bango elongo na mokili.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; with rooms shalt thou make the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Sala masuwa ya mabaya ya goferi mpo na lobiko na yo; kabola yango na bashambre. Okopakola gudron na kati mpe na libanda na yango.
15 And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Tala ndenge okotonga yango: molayi na yango ekozala na bametele pene nkama moko na tuku mitano, bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na mokuse mpe bametele pene zomi na mitano na bosanda.
16 A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Okotia likolo na yango lidusu ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano, okotia ekuke na mopanzi na yango; mpe na kati, okosala etaje ya liboso, ya mibale mpe ya misato.
17 And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; every thing that is in the earth shall perish.
Nakotinda mpela na mokili mpo na koboma nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi na se na moyi: ekelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na mabele ekokufa.
18 But I will establish My covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Kasi nasali boyokani elongo na yo, yango wana okokota na masuwa: yo, bana na yo ya mibali, mwasi na yo mpe basi ya bana na yo.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Okokotisa mpe kati na masuwa, mibale-mibale, bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi, mwasi mpe mobali, mpo ete obatela yango na bomoi elongo na yo.
20 Of the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
Bikelamu mibale ya lolenge moko na moko ya bandeke, ya bibwele mpe ya bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu; nyonso ekoya epai na yo mpo ete obatela yango na bomoi.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.'
Okozwa biloko ya kolia ya lolenge na lolenge mpe okobomba yango mpo ete ezala bilei na yo elongo na yango. »
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Noa asalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Nzambe atindaki ye.
The World is Destroyed by Water
