< Genesis 7 >

1 And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy household into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ, “Wo ne wo fiefoɔ nyinaa nkɔ Adaka no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, asase so nnipa nyinaa no, wo na mahunu sɛ woyɛ ɔteneneeni.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven pairs of each, the male and his female; and of beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female.
Fa mmoa a wɔn ho te biara, anini nson ne abereɛ nson ka wo ho. Na fa mmoa biara a wɔn ho nte nso mmienu, onini ne ɔbereɛ.
3 Also of the fowls of the heaven, seven pairs of each, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
Na fa nnomaa biara anini nson ne abereɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nsuyire no akyiri no, wɔn ase bɛfɛe.
4 For after only seven days more, I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights: and I will blot out every living substance that I have made from off the face of the earth.
Nnanson sɛ ɛnnɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ, mɛma osuo atɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan. Mɛpepa abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a mabɔ afiri asase so.”
5 And Noah did all just as the Lord had commanded him.
Noa dii nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa so.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
Ɛberɛ a nsuyire baa asase so no, na Noa adi mfeɛ aha nsia.
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.
Noa ne ne mmammarima ne ne yere ne ne nsenom mmaa kɔhyɛɛ adaka no mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nsuyire no renka wɔn.
8 Of the clean beasts, and of the beasts that are not clean, and of the fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
Mmoa a wɔn ho te ne wɔn a wɔn ho nte, nnomaa ne mmoa a wɔwea fam,
9 One pair of each went in unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
mmienu mmienu a wɔyɛ anini ne abereɛ kɔkaa Noa ho wɔ adaka no mu, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
10 And it came to pass, after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
Na nnanson no akyiri no, nsuyire no hyɛɛ aseɛ.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this same day, were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Noa dii mfeɛ ahansia no mu no, bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunson no, nsutire a ɛwɔ asase mu no nyinaa bobɔeɛ, na ɛsoro mpomma nso buebueeɛ.
12 And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Osuo tɔɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan.
13 On that self-same 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;
Saa ɛda no ara, Noa ne ne mmammarima Sem, Ham ne Yafet ne ne yere ne ne mmammarima baasa no yerenom kɔhyɛɛ adaka no mu.
14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird, every thing that hath wings.
Na wiram mmoa ahodoɔ ne nyɛmmoa ahodoɔ ne aboa biara a ɔnam asase so ne anomaa biara ne abɔdeɛ biara a ɛwɔ ntaban ka wɔn ho wɔ Adaka no mu.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, one pair of each, of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
Abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ wɔn mu mmienu mmienu baa Noa nkyɛn bɛwuraa Adaka no mu.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and then the Lord shut him in.
Mmoa a wɔwuraa mu no nyinaa, na wɔyɛ anini ne abereɛ, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa no. Afei, Awurade kaa Noa hyɛɛ adaka no mu, too no mu.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
Nsuyire no toaa so adaduanan asase so. Ɛmaa Adaka no so ma ɛtɛɛ nsuo no ani.
18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated along upon the face of the waters.
Nsuo no kɔɔ so yirii tɛnn wɔ asase so, ma Adaka no tɛɛ nsuo no ani.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that are under the whole heavens were covered.
Nsuo no yirii tɛntɛntɛn wɔ asase so ara kɔsii sɛ, ɛkataa mmepɔ atentene akɛseɛ a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa so.
20 Fifteen cubits above them did the waters prevail; and the mountains were [thus] covered.
Nsuo no yirii ara kɔsii sɛ ɛkataa mmepɔ no so boroo so anammɔn aduonu.
21 And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man.
Abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛnam asase so te sɛ nnomaa, wiram mmoa a wɔwea asase so ne adasamma ase hyeeɛ.
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that were on the dry land, died.
Biribiara a ɛte asase kesee so nso ase hyeeɛ.
23 And it swept off every living substance which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowls of the heaven; and they were swept from the earth; and Noah only was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
Wɔpepaa biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛte asase so no. Nnipa ne mmoa ne abɔdeɛ a wɔnam asase so ne ewiem nnomaa nyinaa nso, wɔpepaa wɔn firii asase so. Ɛkaa Noa ne wɔn a na wɔka ne ho wɔ adaka no mu nko ara.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
Nsuyire no toaa so asase so nnafua ɔha aduonum.
