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,
Tango bato babandaki kokoma ebele na mokili mpe babotaki bana basi,
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.
milimo emonaki ete bana basi ya bato bazali kitoko; boye ekomisaki ba-oyo eponaki basi na yango.
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.
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 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.
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 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,
Yawe amonaki ndenge nini mabe ya moto ekomaki mingi kati na mokili, mpe tango nyonso, makanisi ya motema ya moto ezalaki kaka mabe.
6 then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered [it] deeply.
Boye Yawe ayokaki mawa na ndenge akelaki moto kati na mokili mpe abongolaki makanisi na Ye.
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.
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 Noe found grace before the Lord God.
Kasi Noa azwaki ngolu na miso ya Yawe.
9 And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to 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 Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.
Noa azalaki na bana mibali misato: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti.
11 But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.
Mokili ebebaki na miso ya Nzambe mpe etondaki na makambo ya mobulu.
12 And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
Nzambe amonaki ndenge mokili ebebaki, pamba te bato nyonso ya mokili babebisaki banzela na bango.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Okozwa biloko ya kolia ya lolenge na lolenge mpe okobomba yango mpo ete ezala bilei na yo elongo na yango. »
22 And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.
Noa asalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Nzambe atindaki ye.
The World is Destroyed by Water
