< Genesis 6 >

1 And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
A I ka wa o ka hoomaka ana e mahuahua ai na kanaka maluna o ka honua, a ua hanau mai na kaikamahine a lakou.
2 that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
Ike ae la na keiki a ke Akua i na kaikamahine a na kanaka, ua maikai lakou; lalau aku la lakou i na mea a lakou i makemake ai i mau wahine na lakou.
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."
I iho la o Iehova, Aole e noho loa ana kuu Uhane me kanaka, no ka mea, he kino no ia; aku, o kona mau la ma keia hope aku, he haneri makahiki ia a me ka iwakalua.
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.
Noho iho la na kanaka nunui ma ka honua ia manawa; a mahope aku, a komo aku la na keiki a ke Akua iloko i na kaikamahine a na kanaka, a hanau mai na lakou ka poe kanaka ikaika, he poe kanaka kaulana lakou i ka wa kahiko.
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.
A ike mai la ke Akua, he nui ka hewa o kanaka ma ka honua, a ua hewa wale no ka noonoo ana o kona naau, ana i manao ai i na la a pau.
6 God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.
A mihi iho la o Iehova i kana hana ana i na kanaka maluna o ka honua, a ua ehaeha kona naau.
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."
I iho la o Iehova, E luku auanei au i na kanaka a'u i hana'i, mai ke alo aku o ka honua, i na kanaka a me na holoholona, a me na mea kolo, a me na manu o ka lewa: no ka mea, ke mihi nei au i ka'u hana ana ia lakou:
8 But Noah found favor in the sight of God.
Aka, loaa ia Noa ke alohaia mai imua o Iehova.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
Eia ka mooolelo no Noa: He kanaka pono o Noa, a he hemolele iwaena o na hanauna ona, a hele pu o Noa me ke Akua.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Ua hanau mai na Noa ekolu keikikane, o Sema, o Hama, a o Iapeta.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Ua inoino hoi ka honua imua o ke Akua; a ua piha ka honua i ka hoino.
12 God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
Nana mai la ke Akua i ka honua, aia hoi, ua inoino ia; no ka mea, ua hana ino na kanaka a pau i ko lakou aoao ma ka honua.
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.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Noa, Ua hiki mai i ko'u alo nei ka hope o na mea ola a pau; no ka mea, ua piha ka honua i ka hoino ma o lakou la: aia hoi, e luku auanei au ia lakou ma ka honua.
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.
E hana oe i halelana nou; e hana hoi oe i na keena maloko o ka halelana, a e hapala ae i ke kepau maloko a mawaho.
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.
Penei kau e hana aku ai: ekolu haneri kubita o ka loa o ka halelana, he kanalima na kubita ka laula, a he kanakolu na kubita o kona kiekie.
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.
He malamalama kau e hana'i ma ka halelana, a e hoopaa ia mea maluna ma ke kubita; a e kau oe i ka pukakomo o ka halelana ma kona paia: a he papalalo, me ka papawaena, a me ka papaluna kau e hana'i ma ia mea.
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.
A owau la e, e lawe mai ana au i ke kaiakahinalii maluna o ka honua, i mea e lukuia'i na mea io a pau, i ka poe nona ka hanu ola malalo o ka lani; a e make na mea a pau ma ka honua.
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.
Aka, e hoopaa aku au i ka'u berita ia oe; a e komo ae oe iloko o ka halelana, o oe, me kau mau keikikane, a me kau wahine, a me na wahine a kau mau keikikane.
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.
A no na mea io a pau e ola ana, e lawe oe i elua o kela mea keia mea iloko o ka halelana, i kane i wahine, i malama ola pu ia lakou me oe.
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.
O na manu ma ko lakou ano, a o na holoholona, ma ko lakou ano, a o kela mea kolo keia mea kolo o ka honua, ma kona ano iho, e hele papalua mai lakou iou la, i malama ola ia lakou.
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."
E lawe oe nau i na mea ai a pau, a e hoiliili oe ia iou la; i mea ai nau, a na lakou.
22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Pela o Noa i hana'i; ma ka mea a pau a ke Akua i kauoha mai ai ia ia, pela oia i hana'i.
