< Genesis 7 >

1 And God said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
Yawe alobaki na Noa: « Kota na masuwa, yo mpe libota na yo mobimba, pamba te yo kaka nde omonani sembo na miso na Ngai kati na bato ya ekeke oyo.
2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
Kamata banyama sambo ya mibali mpe sambo ya basi kati na banyama ya lolenge nyonso oyo ezangi mbindo; mpe nyama moko ya mobali mpe moko ya mwasi kati na banyama oyo ezali mbindo.
3 Also of the clean flying creatures of the sky, seven pairs, a male and a female, and of all the unclean flying creatures, one pair, a male and a female, to preserve their offspring on the surface of all the earth.
Kamata lisusu bandeke sambo ya mibali mpe sambo ya basi kati na lolenge nyonso ya bandeke mpo ete esila te kati na mokili.
4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."
Pamba te etikali mikolo sambo mpo ete nanokisa mvula oyo ekowumela mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei mpe nakosilisa koboma bikelamu nyonso oyo nasala kati na mokili oyo. »
5 Noah did everything that God commanded him.
Bongo, Noa asalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
Noa azalaki na mibu nkama motoba ya mbotama tango mpela eyaki na mokili.
7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.
Noa mpe bana na ye ya mibali elongo na mwasi na ye mpe basi ya bana na ye bakotaki na masuwa mpo ete babika na mpela.
8 Clean animals, animals that are not clean, flying creatures, and everything that crawls on the ground
Kati na banyama ya lolenge nyonso, moko ya mobali mpe moko ya mwasi, ezala oyo ezanga mbindo to oyo ezali mbindo, bandeke mpe banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu
9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
eyaki epai na Noa mpe ekotaki na masuwa, mwasi na mobali, ndenge Nzambe atindaki Noa.
10 It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.
Bongo sima na mikolo sambo, mpela eyaki na mokili.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.
Tango Noa akokisaki mibu nkama motoba ya mbotama, na sanza ya mibale, na mokolo ya zomi na sambo, bitima nyonso ya se mpe maninisa nyonso ya likolo efungwamaki.
12 The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Mvula enokaki na mokili mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei.
13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;
Kaka na mokolo wana, Noa mpe bana na ye ya mibali: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti, elongo na mwasi na ye mpe basi misato ya bana na ye, bakotaki na masuwa.
14 they, and every wild animal after its kind, and every tame animal after their kind, every creature that crawls on the earth after its kind, and every flying creature after its kind, everything with wings.
Elongo na bango, ekotaki mpe banyama ya zamba ya lolenge nyonso, bibwele ya lolenge nyonso, bikelamu ya lolenge nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bandeke ya lolenge nyonso mpe bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu.
15 They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.
Mwasi na mobali, kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi, eyaki epai ya Noa mpo na kokota na masuwa.
16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and God shut him in.
Banyama nyonso oyo ekotaki kuna ezalaki mwasi na mobali kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi, ndenge Nzambe atindaki Noa. Sima, Yawe akangaki ekuke ya masuwa.
17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
Mpela ewumelaki na mokili mikolo tuku minei; mayi ekomaki ebele mpe etombolaki masuwa likolo na yango.
18 The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
Mayi emataki mpe ekomaki ebele, bongo masuwa ekomaki kotepatepa likolo ya mayi.
19 And the waters rose very high on the earth. And all the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
Mayi emataki lisusu makasi mpe bangomba nyonso ya milayi oyo ezalaki na mokili ezindaki na se ya mayi.
20 The waters rose and covered the highest mountains to a depth of more than twenty-six feet.
Mayi emataki lisusu likolo ya bangomba na bosanda ya bametele pene sambo to mwambe.
21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth, flying creatures, and tame animals, and wild animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth, and all humankind.
Bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi kati na mokili ekufaki, ezala bandeke, bibwele, banyama ya zamba to mpe banyama ya mike-mike oyo etambolaka na mabele to mpe bato nyonso.
22 All in whose nostrils breathed the breath of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
Nyonso oyo ezalaki na pema ya bomoi ekufaki kati na mokili.
23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including people, animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
Boye, Yawe alongolaki kati na mokili bikelamu nyonso oyo ezalaki na bomoi, kobanda na moto kino na ebwele, ekelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe ndeke ya likolo; alongolaki bango na mokili mpe etikalaki kaka Noa na ba-oyo bazalaki na ye elongo na masuwa.
24 The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
Mayi etondaki na mokili mikolo nkama moko na tuku mitano.
