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,
Na ka timata te tangata te tini haere ki runga ki te mata o te whenua, a ka whanau a ratou tamahine,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives, whomsoever they chose.
Ka kite nga tama a te Atua i nga tamahine a te tangata, he ataahua; na ka tango ratou i a ratou i pai ai o ratou katoa, hei wahine ma ratou.
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.'
Na ka mea a Ihowa, E kore toku wairua e whakawa tonu i te tangata, he kikokiko nei ano hoki ia: na kia kotahi rau kia rua tekau tau ona ra.
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.
He roroa nga tangata o te whenua i aua ra, a i muri iho, i te haerenga o nga tama a te Atua ki nga tamahine a te tangata, a ka whanau a ratou tamariki, ko ratou nga marohirohi o mua, he tangata whai ingoa.
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.
A ka kite te Atua he nui te kino o te tangata i runga i te whenua, he kino hoki nga tokonga ake o nga whakaaro katoa o tona ngakau i nga wa katoa.
6 And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
Na ka puta ke te whakaaro o Ihowa i hanga ai e ia te tangata ki runga ki te whenua, a ka pouri tona ngakau.
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.'
Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ka whakangaromia atu e ahau i te mata o te whenua te tangata i hanga nei e ahau; te tangata, te kirehe, te mea ngokingoki, me nga manu o te rangi; kua puta ke hoki toku whakaaro i hanga ai ratou e ahau.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Ko Noa ia i manakohia e Ihowa.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was in his generations a man righteous and whole-hearted; Noah walked with God.
Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Noa: ko Noa he tangata tika, he ngakau tapatahi i ona whakatupuranga: i haereere tahi a Noa i te Atua.
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
A whanau ake nga tama a Noa tokotoru, ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta.
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Na kua kino te whenua i te aroaro o Ihowa, kua ki katoa hoki te whenua i te tutu.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
Na ka titiro te Atua ki te whenua, kua kino; kua he hoki te ara o nga kikokiko katoa o runga o te whenua.
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.
Na ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, Kua tae mai ki toku aroaro te mutunga o nga kikokiko katoa; no te mea kua ki i a ratou te whenua i te tutu; na, ka whakangaromia ratou tahi ko te whenua e ahau.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; with rooms shalt thou make the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Hanga e koe tetahi aaka mou ki te rakau kopera; me hanga e koe etahi ruma ki roto i te aaka, ka pani ai i roto, i waho, ki te ware.
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.
Na kia penei tau hanga i taua mea: Kia toru rau whatianga te roa o te aaka, kia rima tekau whatianga te whanui, ko te teitei kia toru tekau whatianga.
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.
Me hanga e koe he matapihi mo te aaka, kia kotahi te whatianga ki raro iho i te tuanui, e whakaotia ai e koe; a ko te tatau o te aaka me whakanoho e koe ki tona taha; ka mea ai koe he papanga ruma, to raro, te tuarua, me te tuatoru.
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.
Na ko ahau, tenei ahau te tuku atu nei i te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua, hei whakangaro i nga kikokiko katoa e whai manawa ora ana i raro i te rangi; a ka mate nga mea katoa i runga i te whenua.
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.
Otiia ka whakamana e ahau taku kawenata ki a koe; me haere koe ki roto ki te aaka, koutou tahi ko au tama, ko tau wahine, ko nga wahine ano hoki a au tama.
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.
Me mau e koe ki roto ki te aaka etahi o nga mea ora katoa o nga kikokiko katoa, kia rua o ia ahua, o ia ahua, kia ora tahi ai me koe; he te toa, hei te uha.
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.
Ko etahi o nga manu o ia ahua, o ia ahua, o nga kararehe hoki o ia ahua, o ia ahua, o nga mea ngokingoki katoa o te whenua o ia ahua, o ia ahua kia tatakirua o te katoa e haere ki a koe, kia ora ai.
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.'
Tangohia mai hoki mau etahi o nga kai katoa e kainga ana, me amene mai ki a koe; a hei ka tena mau, ma ratou hoki.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Na ka meatia e Noa; rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua mai e te Atua ki a ia tana i mea ai.
The World is Destroyed by Water
