Genesis 6
1 And Noe was five hundred years old, and he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. And it came to pass when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
Alò, li te rive ke lè lèzòm te kòmanse miltipliye sou sifas tè a, e yo te fè pitit fi,
2 that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose.
ke fis Bondye yo te wè ke fi lezòm yo te bèl. Konsa, yo te pran kòm madanm pou yo menm, nenpòt ke yo te chwazi.
3 And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men for ever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Alò SENYÈ a te di: “Lespri Mwen p ap lite avèk lòm pou janmè, paske li menm osi se chè. Konsa, jou li yo va san-ven-ane.”
4 Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore [children] to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.
Jeyan yo te sou latè nan jou sa yo, e menm aprè, lè fis Bondye yo te antre nan pitit fi a lòm yo, e te fè pitit avèk yo. Sila yo se te lòm pwisan de tan ansyen yo, lòm gran repitasyon yo.
5 And the Lord God, having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,
Alò SENYÈ a te wè ke mechanste lòm te gran sou latè, epi ke chak entansyon ak panse nan kè li te toujou vè lemal.
6 then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered [it] deeply.
Epi SENYÈ a te regrèt ke Li te fè lòm sou latè a, e sa te blese Li nan kè L.
7 And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.
SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen va efase lòm ke mwen te kreye sou fas tè a, soti nan lòm jis nan tout bèt yo, ak a zwazo anlè yo. Paske mwen regrèt ke m te fè yo.”
8 But Noe found grace before the Lord God.
Men Noé te twouve favè nan zye SENYÈ a.
9 And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God.
Sa yo se achiv jenerasyon Noé yo. Noé se te yon moun ak ladwati, san fot nan tan pa li a. Noé te mache avèk Bondye.
10 And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.
Noé te vin papa twa fis: Sem, Cham, ak Japhet.
11 But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.
Alò tè a te vin konwonpi nan zye Bondye, e latè te vin plen ak vyolans.
12 And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
Bondye te gade sou latè, e gade byen, li te vin konwonpi; paske tout chè te vin konwonpi sou tè a nan jan yo te mache.
13 And the Lord God said to Noe, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.
Alò, Bondye te di a Noé: “Lafen tout chè gen tan parèt devan M; paske latè vin ranpli avèk vyolans akoz yo menm. Gade byen, mwen prè pou detwi yo ansanm ak latè.
14 Make therefore for yourself an ark of square timber; you shall make the ark in compartments, and you shall pitch it within and without with pitch.
Fè pou kont ou yon lach avèk bwa gofè. Ou va fè l avèk chanm, e kouvri li anndan kon deyò avèk kòl rezin.
15 And thus shall you make the ark; three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the breadth, and thirty cubits the height of it.
Se konsa ke ou va fè l: longè lach la va twa san koude (18 pous se yon koude), lajè li va senkant koude, e wotè li va trant koude.
16 You shall narrow the ark in making it, and in a cubit above you shall finish it, and the door of the ark you shall make on the side; with lower, second, and third stories you shall make it.
Ou va fè yon fenèt pou lach la, fè l rive yon koude mwens ke wotè li. Konsa, plase pòt lach la rive sou de kote li yo. Fè li ak pi ba, dezyèm, avèk twazyèm etaj.
17 And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatever things are upon the earth shall die.
“Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen ap mennen delij dlo sou latè pou detwi tout chè ki gen souf lavi ladann, depi anba syèl la. Tout bagay ki sou latè va peri.
18 And I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall enter into the ark, and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
“Men Mwen va etabli akò Mwen avèk ou. Konsa, ou va antre nan lach la—ou menm avèk fis ou yo, avèk madanm ou yo, madanm a fis ou yo ansanm avèk ou.
19 And of all cattle and of all reptiles and of all wild beasts, even of all flesh, you shall bring by pairs of all, into the ark, that you may feed them with yourself: male and female they shall be.
“Epi soti nan tout chè de tout kalite bèt k ap viv, ou va pote de nan chak espès pou antre nan lach la, pou kenbe yo vivan ak nou. Konsa, yo va mal avèk femèl.
20 Of all winged birds after their kind, and of all cattle after their kind, and of all reptiles creeping upon the earth after their kind, pairs of all shall come in to you, male and female to be fed with you.
“Nan zwazo yo selon espès pa yo, nan bèt yo selon espès pa yo, chak sa ki kouri atè reptil selon espès pa l. De nan chak espès va vin kote ou, pou ou ka kenbe yo toujou vivan.
21 And you shall take to yourself of all kinds of food which you eat, and you shall gather them to yourself, and it shall be for you and them to eat.
Pou ou menm, pran pou pwòp tèt ou kèk nan tout bagay ki kab manje, e rasanble yo pou ou menm. Yo va sèvi pou ou kòm manje pou ou, ak pou yo.”
22 And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.
Konsa Noé te fè l. Selon tout sa ke Bondye te kòmande li, se konsa li te fè l.
The World is Destroyed by Water
