Genesis 6
1 And it comes to pass that mankind has begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,
Rĩrĩa andũ maambĩrĩirie kũingĩha thĩ na magĩciarĩrwo airĩtu-rĩ,
2 and the sons of God see that they, the daughters of men, [are] beautiful, and they take women for themselves of all whom they have chosen.
ariũ a Ngai makĩona atĩ airĩtu a andũ maarĩ athaka, nao makĩhikia o ũrĩa mũndũ ethuuragĩra.
3 And YHWH says, “My Spirit does not strive in man for all time, for indeed, he [is] flesh, but his days have been one hundred and twenty years.”
Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Roho wakwa ndegũtũũra agianaga na mũndũ nginya tene, tondũ mũndũ nĩ wa gũkua; matukũ make marĩkoragwo marĩ mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.”
4 The giants were in the earth in those days, and even afterward, when sons of God come in to the daughters of men, and they have borne to them those who [were] the mighty from of old, the men of renown.
Na rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio, o na thuutha ũcio, rĩrĩa Anefili matũũraga gũkũ thĩ, nĩrĩo ariũ a Ngai maakomire na airĩtu a andũ na magĩciara ciana nao. Ciana icio nĩcio ciarĩ njamba cia tene na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta.
5 And YHWH sees that the wickedness of man [is] abundant in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [is] only evil every day;
Jehova akĩona ũrĩa waganu wa andũ waingĩhĩte gũkũ thĩ, na atĩ merirĩria ma meciiria ma ngoro ciao maarĩ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe.
6 and YHWH regrets that He has made man in the earth, and He grieves Himself—to His heart.
Jehova akĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa kũũmba mũndũ gũkũ thĩ, na ngoro yake ĩkĩiyũrwo nĩ ruo.
7 And YHWH says, “I wipe away man whom I have created from off the face of the ground, from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens, for I have regretted that I have made them.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũniina andũ, o arĩa niĩ ndombire, mathire kuuma thĩ, andũ na nyamũ, na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ na kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa gũciũmba.”
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of YHWH.
No Nuhu agĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
9 These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; he has been perfect among his generations; Noah has habitually walked with God.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Nuhu. Nuhu aarĩ mũndũ mũthingu, ũtaarĩ na ũcuuke kũrĩ andũ a hĩndĩ yake, na nĩatwaranaga na Ngai.
10 And Noah begets three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Nuhu aarĩ na ariũ atatũ: nĩo Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu.
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
Thĩ nayo yarĩ thũku maitho-inĩ ma Jehova na yaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maũndũ ma ũhinya.
12 And God sees the earth, and behold, it has been corrupted, for all flesh has corrupted its way on the earth.
Ngai nĩonire ũrĩa thĩ yathũkĩte, nĩgũkorwo andũ othe a thĩ nĩmathũkĩtie mĩthiĩre yao.
13 And God said to Noah, “An end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth has been full of violence from their presence; and behold, I am destroying them with the earth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Nĩnduĩte itua kũniina andũ aya othe, nĩgũkorwo thĩ nĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ maũndũ ma ũhinya nĩ ũndũ wao. Ti-itherũ nĩngũmaniinanĩria hamwe na thĩ.
14 Make an ark of gopher-wood for yourself; you make rooms within the Ark, and you have covered it from inside and from outside with pitch;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, wĩyakĩre thabina ya mĩtĩ ya mĩthithinda; na ũthondeke tũnyũmba thĩinĩ, na ũmĩhake rami thĩinĩ na nja.
15 and this [is] how you do it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the Ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;
Na ũkũmĩaka ũũ: Ũraihu wa thabina ũkorwo ũrĩ buti magana mana na mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa buti mĩrongo mũgwanja na ithano na buti mĩrongo ĩna na ithano, kũraiha na igũrũ.
16 you make a window for the Ark, and you finish it to a cubit from above; and you put the opening of the Ark in its side; you make it [with] lower, second, and third [stories].
Ũmĩgite igũrũ, no ũtigie buti ĩmwe na nuthu mwena wa igũrũ wa thingo. Wĩkĩre mũrango mwena-inĩ wa thabina, na ũmĩake ĩrĩ na ngoroba ya thĩ, na ya gatagatĩ, na ya igũrũ.
17 And I, behold, I am bringing in the flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under the heavens all flesh in which [is] a living spirit; all that [is] in the earth expires.
Nĩngũrehe mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũkũ thĩ wa kũniina kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ, kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩrĩ na mĩhũmũ ya muoyo thĩinĩ wakĩo. Indo ciothe irĩ thĩ nĩikũniinwo.
18 And I have established My covenant with you, and you have come into the Ark—you, and your sons, and your wife, and your son’s wives with you;
No nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro nawe. Wee nĩũgatoonya thabina, wee mwene na ariũ aku na mũtumia waku, na atumia a ariũ aku.
19 and of all that lives, of all flesh, you bring two from every [kind] into the Ark, to keep alive with you; they are male and female.
Ningĩ nĩũkaingĩria ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe thĩinĩ wa thabina, o mũthemba ciũmbe igĩrĩ, wa njamba na wa nga, nĩguo itũũre muoyo, o hamwe nawe.
20 From the bird after its kind, and from the livestock after its kind, [and] from every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [kind] they come to you, to keep alive.
O mũthemba wa nyoni, na o mũthemba wa nyamũ ciothe na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, nĩigooka kũrĩ we igĩrĩ igĩrĩ nĩguo itũũre muoyo.
21 And you, take for yourself from all food that is eaten; and you have gathered [it] to yourself, and it has been for you and for them for food.”
Nĩũkamaatha mĩthemba yothe ya irio iria irĩĩagwo, ũciige irĩ irio ciaku na ciacio.”
22 And Noah does according to all that God has commanded him; so he has done.
Nuhu agĩĩka maũndũ mothe o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwathĩte eeke.
The World is Destroyed by Water
