< 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,
Nangetseketseke ty ia’ ondaty an-tane atoy vaho nisamak’ ampela
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.
le nioni’ o anan’ Añahareo te montramontra o anak’ ampela’ ondatio naho nañenga ze nitea’e.
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.”
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Tsy hifanjomotse am’ ondatio nainai’e ty Troko, amy t’ie nofotse, le ho zato-tsi-roapolo taoñe ty andro’e.
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.
Ambone’ tane atoy tañ’andro iizay o Nefalèo naho mbe tafara ka, le vinonje’ o anan’ Añahareo o anak’ ampela’ ondatio vaho nanaranake. Toe nifanalolahy haehae iereo, nilahitsiay.
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;
Nivazoho’ Iehovà ty halosoran-katse­reha’ ty tane toy naho te nitolon-kara­tiañe avao ty fivetsevetsen-tro’ iareo.
6 and YHWH regrets that He has made man in the earth, and He grieves Himself—to His heart.
Le naneñena’ Iehovà te namboatse ondaty an-tane atoy vaho nanahelo añ’ arofo’e ao.
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.”
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Ho faopaoheko ami’ty tane toy ondaty nitsenèkoo, fonga ondaty naho biby naho o raha misitsi­tseo vaho o voron-tiokeo fa aneñenako t’ie namboareñe.
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of YHWH.
Fe nahaoni-pañisohañe am-pihaino’ Iehovà t’i Nòake.
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.
izay ty fanoñona’ i Nòake. Vantañe t’i Nòake, tsy nanan-tahiñe amo foko’eo, vaho nindre fañavelo aman’ Añahare t’i Noake.
10 And Noah begets three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Nisamake telo t’i Nòake: i Seme, i Kame vaho Ièfete.
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
Ie amy zay nilo-tserek’ añatrefan’ Añahare naho nilifotse ty hapia­rote­ñe ty tane toy.
12 And God sees the earth, and behold, it has been corrupted, for all flesh has corrupted its way on the earth.
Nivazoho i Andrianañahare ty tane toy le naheo’e te lò-tsereke naho songa nimontamontan-tsata ondatio.
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.
Aa le hoe t’i Andria­nañahare amy Nòake, Fa miatrek’ ahy ty figadoña’ ze atao nofotse, amy te lifo-kapiaroteñe ty tane toy ty am’ iereo, Inao, t’ie hatraoko ro­tsake an-tane atoy.
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;
Aa le mandranjia lakam-poloay ami’ty mendoraveñe, le mandranjia efetsefetse amy lakañey vaho hosoro harahake naho solike ty alafe’e vaho ty añate’e.
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;
Zao ty hamboare’o aze. Ho kiho telon-jato ty an-dava’ i lakam-poloaiy naho kiho limampolo ty am-pohe’e vaho kiho telo-polo ty haabo’e.
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].
Andranjio tafo i lakam-poloaiy vaho ampijebaño kiho raike ty ambone’e; le ano lalambey añ’ila’ i lakam-poloaiy; le andranjio vatsa ambane naho añivo vaho ambone.
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.
Toe Izaho le izaho ty hinday fisorotombahan-drano an-tane atoy han­dro­tsake ze nofotse mikofò-beloñe ambane’ i likerañey; kila ho mongotse ze an-tane atoy.
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;
Fe ihe ty hañorizako fañina, le himoaha’o i lakam-poloaiy rekets’ o ana-dahi’oo naho i vali’oy vaho o valin’ ana-dahi’oo.
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.
Hendese’o mb’an-dakam-poloay ao ty kiroe kiroe amy ze hene raha veloñe, amy ze kila nofotse; le ho velome’o mindre ama’areo, ty lahi’e naho ty vave’e.
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.
Amo voroñeo ty amo karaza’eo, naho o hareo ty amo karaza’eo, naho ze fonga biby misitsitsy an-tane atoy ty amo karaza’eo, songa roe ama’e ty hiheo mb’ama’o mb’eo hameloma’o.
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.”
Fonga añandeso ze karaza-mahakama le atontono ho azo, ho kamae’ areo vaho ho hàne’ iareo.
22 And Noah does according to all that God has commanded him; so he has done.
Nanoe’ i Nòake. I nandilian’ Añaharey ty nanoe’e.
