Genesis 6
1 And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
Lè sa a, moun te konmanse ap fè anpil anpil pitit sou latè. Yo te vin gen anpil pitit fi.
2 that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
Pitit gason Bondye yo te wè jan pitit fi lèzòm yo te bèl. Se konsa, nan fi yo te renmen yo, yo pran ladan yo pou madanm yo.
3 And God said, "My Spirit will not remain in humankind forever, since he is indeed flesh; yet his days will be one hundred twenty years."
Lè Seyè a wè sa, li di: Mwen p'ap kite lèzòm viv pou tout tan, paske se moun ase yo ye. Se sanventan (120 an) sèlman pou yo viv.
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after that), when the sons of God had sexual relations with the daughters of humankind and had children by them. They were the mighty men who were from ancient times, famous men.
Lè sa a, epi pandan lontan apre sa, te vin gen sou latè yon ras moun wo anpil: se te pitit pitit fi lèzòm yo te fè pou pitit gason bondye yo. Se yo ki te vanyan gason nan tan lontan yo, kifè tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Seyè a wè jan lèzòm te mechan toupatou sou latè, ki jan tout lajounen se move lide ase ki te nan tèt yo.
6 And God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.
Li vin règrèt li te fè moun sou latè. Kè l' vin sere ak lapenn.
7 God said, "I will destroy humankind whom I have created from the face of the earth; humankind, along with animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
Seyè a di: Mwen pral disparèt tout moun mwen te kreye yo, san kite yonn. Epi m'ap detwi ansanm ak yo tout tou bèt kat pat, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl, paske mwen règrèt anpil dèske mwen te fè yo.
8 But Noah found favor in the sight of God.
Men, Noe te fè Bondye plezi.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
Men pitit pitit Noe yo. Nan tout moun ki t'ap viv lè sa a, Noe te sèl moun ki t'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, ki pa t' nan anyen ki mal. Li t'ap mache byen ak Bondye.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Li te gen twa pitit gason: Sèm, Kam ak Jafè.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Men, tout lòt moun yo te fin pouri devan Bondye. Toupatou sou latè se te mechanste sou mechanste.
12 God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
Bondye gade latè, li wè l' te fin pouri, paske tout moun sou latè te fin pèvèti.
13 And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And look, I will destroy them with the earth.
Lè sa a, Bondye di Noe konsa: Mwen deside pou m' fini ak tout moun, paske se yo ki lakòz toupatou sou latè se mechanste ase. Wi, mwen pral detwi yo nèt ansanm ak tout sa ki sou latè.
14 Make a box-shaped ship of gopher wood. You are to make rooms in the ship, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
Fè yon gwo batiman pou ou ak bwa pichpen. W'a fè anpil ti chanm ladan l'. W'a badijonnen l' byen badijonnen anndan kou deyò avèk goudwon.
15 And this is how you are to make it. The length of the ship is to be five hundred seventeen feet, its breadth eighty-six feet, and its height fifty-two feet.
Men ki jan pou ou fè l': Batiman an va gen katsansenkant (450) pye longè, swasannkenz pye lajè, ak karannsenk pye wotè.
16 And you are to make a roof in the ship, and you are to finish it twenty-one inches above. And you are to set the door of the ship in its side. You are to make it with lower, second, and third levels.
W'a mete yon twati sou batiman an. W'a kite yon espas dizwit pous ant twati a ak rebò a. W'a louvri yon sèl pòt sou kote batiman an. W'a mete yon etaj anba, yon etaj nan mitan, yon etaj anwo.
17 And as for me, look, I am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.
Mwen pral voye yon gwo inondasyon dlo sou latè pou detwi tout sa k'ap viv anba syèl la. tout sa ki sou latè pral peri.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You are to come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
Men, m'ap fè yon kontra avè ou. W'a antre nan batiman an, ou menm, pitit gason ou yo, madanm ou ansanm ak madanm pitit ou yo.
19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you are to bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
W'a pran avèk ou tout yon pè nan tout kalite bèt, yon mal ak yon fenmèl. Wa fè yo antre nan batiman an ansanm ak ou pou yo pa mouri.
20 Of the flying creatures after their kind, of the animals after their kind, and of every crawling creature of the ground after their kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
Konsa, nan tout kalite zwazo, nan tout kalite bèt domestik, nan tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant yo, gen yon pè nan chak kalite ki va vin jwenn ou pou yo pa mouri.
21 And as for you, take for yourself all the kinds of food that are eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be food for you, and for them."
Ou menm bò pa ou, ranmase tout kalite manje, mezi ou kapab. Fè yon bèl pwovizyon mete la pou ou ka jwenn manje pou ou manje ansanm ak tout bèt yo tou.
22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Se konsa Noe fè tout sa Bondye te ba li lòd fè a. Wi, se sa menm li te fè.
The World is Destroyed by Water
