Genesis 7
1 And the LORD said to Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Nowa, “Lowa mu chombo iwe ndi banja lako lonse, chifukwa ndaona kuti ndiwe wolungama mu mʼbado uwu.
2 Of every clean beast you shall take to you by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Pa mtundu uliwonse wa nyama zoti nʼkudya utengepo zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi zazikazi zisanu ndi ziwirinso. Koma pa mtundu wa nyama iliyonse yosati nʼkudya utengepo zazimuna ziwiri ndi zazikazi ziwirinso.
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
Chimodzimodzinso mbalame, utenge zisanu ndi ziwiri zazimuna ndi zisanu ndi ziwiri zazikazi za mtundu uliwonse kuti mitundu yawo isungike ndi moyo pa dziko lonse lapansi.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
Pakapita masiku asanu ndi awiri ndidzagwetsa mvula pa dziko lapansi kwa masiku makumi anayi usana ndi usiku ndipo ndidzawononga cha moyo chilichonse chimene ndinachipanga pa dziko lapansi.”
5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
Ndipo Nowa anachita zonse zimene Yehova anamulamulira.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
Pamene chigumula chinabwera pa dziko lapansi Nowa anali ndi zaka 600.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Ndipo Nowa, ana ake aamuna, mkazi wake, pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi analowa mu chombo chija kuthawa madzi a chigumula.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creeps on the earth,
Nyama zoti nʼkudya ndi nyama zosadyedwa, mbalame, pamodzi ndi nyama zokwawa zonse zinadza kwa Nowa ziwiriziwiri ndi kulowa mʼchombomo.
9 There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
Ndipo Nowa anatenga ziwiriziwiri, yayimuna ndi yayikazi monga anamulamulira Mulungu.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
Patapita masiku asanu ndi awiri chigumula chinabwera pa dziko lapansi.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Pa tsiku la 17 la mwezi wachiwiri, Nowa ali ndi zaka 600, akasupe onse akuya kwambiri anasefuka ndiponso zitseko za madzi akumwamba zinatsekuka.
12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Ndipo mvula inagwa pa dziko lapansi masiku makumi anayi usana ndi usiku.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
Linali tsiku lomwelo pamene Nowa ndi ana ake aamuna, Semu, Hamu ndi Yafeti, pamodzi ndi mkazi wake ndi akazi a ana ake atatu aja analowa mu chombo.
14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
Iwowa analowa mʼchombomo pamodzi ndi nyama iliyonse ya kutchire monga mwa mtundu wake, ziweto zonse monga mwa mitundu yawo, nyama yokwawa iliyonse monga mwa mtundu wake ndi mbalame iliyonse monga mwa mtundu wake.
15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
Nowa analowa mu chombo muja pamodzi ndi zamoyo zonse.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Iye analowa nazo zazimuna ndi zazikazi monga mmene Mulungu anamulamulira. Kenaka Yehova anatseka pa khomo.
17 And the flood was forty days on the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
Chigumula chinagwa pa dziko la pansi kwa masiku makumi anayi. Madzi anayamba kuchuluka ndipo ananyamula chombo chija ndi kuchiyandamitsa pamwamba pa dziko.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters.
Madzi anafika mwamphamvu ndipo anachulukirachulukira pa dziko lapansi moti chombo chinayandama pamwamba pa madziwo.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
Madzi a chigumula anabwerabe molimbika motero kuti mapiri ataliatali onse a pa dziko anamizidwa.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
Madzi anakwera namiza mapiri kwa mamita pafupifupi asanu ndi awiri.
21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man:
Chamoyo chilichonse choyenda pa dziko lapansi chinafa: mbalame, ziweto, nyama zakuthengo, miyandamiyanda ya zonse zolengedwa za pa dziko lapansi pamodzi ndi anthu.
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
Chilichonse chamoyo, chokhala pa mtunda chinafa.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was on the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
Chamoyo chilichonse pa dziko lapansi chinawonongedwa, kuyambira munthu, nyama, zokwawa ndi mbalame. Nowa yekha ndiye anatsala pamodzi ndi onse amene anali naye.
24 And the waters prevailed on the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Madziwo anadzaza dziko lonse lapansi kwa masiku 150.
