Genesis 7
1 And YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before Me in this generation;
Yahwe akamwambia Nuhu, “Njoo, wewe na nyumba yako wote, katika safina, kwa kuwa nimeona kuwa wewe ni mwenye haki mbele yangu katika kizazi hiki.
2 you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its female;
Kwa kila mnyama aliye safi utakuja nao saba wa kiume na saba wa kike. Na kwa wanyama wasio safi, lete wawili wawili, wakiume na wakike.
3 also, seven pairs from [each] bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;
Pia na kwa ndege wa angani, lete saba wa kiume na saba wa kike, ili kuhifadhi kizazi chao juu ya uso wa nchi yote.
4 for after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”
Kwa kuwa ndani ya siku saba nitasababisha mvua kunyesha juu ya nchi muda wa siku arobaini mchana na usiku. Nitaharibu kila kiumbe hai nilichokiumba juu ya uso wa ardhi.”
5 And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.
Nuhu alifanya yote ambayo Yahwe alimuagiza.
6 And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.
Nuhu alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia sita wakati gharika ilipokuja juu ya nchi.
7 And Noah goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters of the flood;
Nuhu, watoto wake wa kiume, mke wake, na wake za watoto wake waliingia katika safina pamoja kwa sababu ya maji ya gharika.
8 from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground,
Wanyama ambao ni safi na wanyama ambao si safi, ndege, na kila kitambaacho juu ya ardhi,
9 they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.
wawili wawili mume na mke wakaja kwa Nuhu na wakaingia katika safina, kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza Nuhu.
10 And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on the earth.
Ikawa kwamba baada ya siku saba, maji ya gharika yakaja juu ya nchi.
11 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all [the] fountains of the great deep have been broken up, and the network of the heavens has been opened,
Katika mwaka wa mia sita wa maisha yake Nuhu, katika mwezi wa pili, katika siku ya kumi na saba ya mwezi, katika siku iyo hiyo, chemchemi zote za vilindi vikuu zilipasuka na kufunguka, na madirisha ya mbinguni yakafunguka.
12 and the shower is on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights.
Mvua ikaanza kunyesha juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini mchana na usiku.
13 On this very same day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the Ark—
Katika siku iyo hiyo Nuhu pamoja na watoto wake, Shem, Ham, na Yafethi na mke wa Nuhu, na wale wake watatu wa wana wa Nuhu pamoja waliingia katika safina.
14 they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind (every bird, every wing).
Waliingia pamoja na kila mnyama wa mwitu kwa jinsi yake, na kila mnyama wa kufugwa kwa jinsi yake, na kila kitambaacho juu ya ardhi kwa jinsi yake, na kila aina ya ndege kwa jinsi yake, kila aina ya kiumbe chenye mabawa.
15 And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
Viwili viwili katika kila chenye mwili ambacho kilikuwa na pumzi ya uhai kilikuja kwa Nuhu na kuingia katika safina.
16 and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes [it] for him.
Wanyama walioingia ndani walikuwa wakiume na kike katika wote wenye mwili; wakaingia kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza. Kisha Yahwe akawafungia mlango.
17 And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;
Kisha gharika ikaja juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini, na maji yakaongezeka na kuinua safina juu ya nchi.
18 and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.
Maji yakafunika kabisa nchi, na safina ikaelea juu ya uso wa maji.
19 And the waters have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which [are] under the whole heavens;
Maji yakaongezeka zaidi juu ya nchi kiasi kwamba milima yote mirefu ambayo ilikuwa chini ya anga ikafunikwa.
20 the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;
Maji yakaongezeka dhiraa kumi na tano juu ya vilele vya milima.
21 and all flesh expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;
Vitu vyote vyenye uhai ambavyo vilitembea juu ya nchi vilikufa: ndege, mifugo, wanyama wa mwituni, viumbe hai vyote kwa wingi vilivyoishi juu ya nchi, pamoja na watu.
22 all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have died.
Viumbe hai vyote ambavyo vilikaa juu ya ardhi, vilivyo pumua pumzi ya uhai kwa njia ya pua, vilikufa.
23 And all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the Ark;
Hivyo kila kilichokuwa hai ambacho kilikuwa juu ya uso wa mchi kilifutwa, kuanzia watu mpaka wanyama wakubwa, mpaka vitambaavyo, na mpaka ndege wa angani. Vyote viliangamizwa kutoka kwenye nchi. Nuhu tu pamoja na wale waliokuwa naye kwenye safina ndio walisalia.
24 and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
Maji haya kuzama chini ya nchi kwa muda wa siku miamoja na hamsini.
The Great Flood
