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,
Abantu bwe beeyongera obungi ku nsi ne bazaalirwa abaana aboobuwala.
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.
Abaana ba Katonda ne balaba ng’abawala abo balungi ne bawasa buli gwe beerondera.
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.”
Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Omwoyo wange taawakanenga na muntu emirembe gyonna, kubanga muntu buntu; n’ennaku ze ziriba emyaka kikumi mu abiri.”
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.
Mu nnaku ezo, abaana ba Katonda bwe beegatta n’abawala b’abantu abo, ne babazaalamu abaana; be Banefuli abaali abatutumufu ennyo era abalwanyi abeekitalo mu biseera ebyo era ne mu biro ebyaddirira.
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;
Mukama n’alaba ng’ekibi ky’omuntu kiyinze nnyo ku nsi; nga buli ndowooza y’omutima gw’omuntu mbi njereere ebbanga lyonna.
6 and YHWH regrets that He has made man in the earth, and He grieves Himself—to His heart.
Mukama n’anakuwala nnyo kubanga yatonda omuntu ku nsi, n’alumwa nnyo mu mutima gwe.
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.”
Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Ndiggya ku nsi omuntu gwe natonda, ndisaanyaawo omuntu, n’ensolo n’ebinyonyi, kubanga nejjusizza olw’okubitonda.”
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of YHWH.
Kyokka ye Nuuwa n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama.
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.
Bino bye bifa ku Nuuwa n’ab’omu nju ye: Nuuwa yali muntu mutuukirivu, nga taliiko kya kunenyezebwa mu bantu b’ekiseera kye, n’atambula ne Katonda.
10 And Noah begets three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Nuuwa yalina batabani be basatu: Seemu ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi.
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
Ensi yali nnyonoonefu mu maaso ga Katonda era ng’ejjudde eddalu.
12 And God sees the earth, and behold, it has been corrupted, for all flesh has corrupted its way on the earth.
Katonda n’alaba ensi, era laba, ng’eyonoonese mu kweyisa kwayo kubanga buli muntu yenna yali kyetwala nga tewakyali mutuukirivu.
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.
Katonda kwe kugamba Nuuwa nti, “Mmaliridde okuzikiriza buli muntu, kubanga ensi ejjudde eddalu; laba, nzija kubazikiriza mbamalewo ku nsi.
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;
Naye ggwe Nuuwa weekolere eryato mu muti gofeeri, okolemu ebisenge, olibikke n’envumbo munda ne kungulu.
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;
Bw’oti bw’oba olikola: obuwanvu bwalyo mita kikumi mu ana, n’obugazi mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu, n’obugulumivu mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu.
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].
Bw’oliba olizimba, waggulu oteekangayo akasolya nga kabika kimu kyakubiri ekya mita. Omulyango gwalyo oguteekanga mu mbiriizi zaalyo. Okolanga eryato lya kalinassatu, ery’emyaliiro: ogwa wansi n’ogwokubiri, n’ogwokusatu.
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.
Ndireeta amataba ku nsi, okuzikiriza buli kiramu, ekissa omukka, ekiri wansi w’eggulu; buli ekiri ku nsi kya kufa.
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;
Naye ndikola endagaano naawe. Oliyingira mu lyato, ggwe, ne mukazi wo, ne batabani bo, ne baka batabani bo wamu naawe.
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.
Oliyingira mu lyato na buli kiramu ekirina omubiri; oliyingiza bibiri bibiri ekisajja n’ekikazi bibeere biramu naawe.
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.
Ku binyonyi ebya buli ngeri, ne ku nsolo eza buli ngeri, na buli ekyewalula ekya buli ngeri, bibiri bibiri ebya buli ngeri birijja gy’oli, bibeere biramu.
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.”
Era twala buli ngeri ya mmere eriibwa, ogitereke; eriba mmere yo n’ebiramu byo.”
22 And Noah does according to all that God has commanded him; so he has done.
Nuuwa n’akola byonna nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
The World is Destroyed by Water
