Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass when men had begun to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters had been born to them,
Tango bato babandaki kokoma ebele na mokili mpe babotaki bana basi,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men! that they were, fair, —so they took to themselves wives of whomsoever they chose,
milimo emonaki ete bana basi ya bato bazali kitoko; boye ekomisaki ba-oyo eponaki basi na yango.
3 And Yahweh said—My spirit shall not rule in man to times age—abiding, for that, he also, is flesh, —Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Yango wana, Yawe alobaki: « Pema na Ngai ekowumela libela te kati na moto, pamba te abengami na kokufa; mibu ya bomoi na ye ekozala kaka nkama moko na tuku mibale. »
4 The giants, were in the earth in those days, and also, after that, when the sons of God began to go in unto the daughters of men, and sons were born to them, the same, were the heroes that were from age-past times the men of renown.
Na tango wana, ezalaki na bingambe kati na mokili; mpe lisusu, milimo esangisaki nzoto na bana basi ya bato, bongo bana basi babotelaki yango bana. Bana yango bazalaki bilombe na tango ya kala, bato oyo bakenda sango.
5 Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;
Yawe amonaki ndenge nini mabe ya moto ekomaki mingi kati na mokili, mpe tango nyonso, makanisi ya motema ya moto ezalaki kaka mabe.
6 and it grieved Yahweh, that he had made man in the earth, —and he took sorrow unto his heart.
Boye Yawe ayokaki mawa na ndenge akelaki moto kati na mokili mpe abongolaki makanisi na Ye.
7 And Yahweh said—I must wipe off man whom I created from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, —for I am grieved that I made them.
Boye Yawe alobaki: « Nakosilisa koboma kati na mokili bato oyo nakelaki; solo, nakosilisa koboma bato kino na bibwele, na bandeke ya likolo mpe na bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu kati na mokili, pamba te nabongoli makanisi na Ngai na ndenge nakelaki bango. »
8 But, Noah, had found favour in the eyes, of Yahweh.
Kasi Noa azwaki ngolu na miso ya Yawe.
9 These, are the generations of Noah, Noah, was, a righteous man blameless, in his generations, —with God, did Noah walk.
Tala lisolo ya libota ya Noa. Noa azalaki moto ya sembo mpe azanga pamela kati na bato ya tango na ye; azalaki kosala mokano ya Nzambe.
10 And Noah begat three sons, —Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Noa azalaki na bana mibali misato: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti.
11 And the earth corrupted itself before God, —and the earth was filled with violence,
Mokili ebebaki na miso ya Nzambe mpe etondaki na makambo ya mobulu.
12 And God beheld the earth, and lo! it had corrupted itself, —surely all flesh had corrupted its way, on the earth.
Nzambe amonaki ndenge mokili ebebaki, pamba te bato nyonso ya mokili babebisaki banzela na bango.
13 So God said unto Noah: the end of all flesh, hath come in before me, for, filled, is the earth with violence, because of them, —behold me, then, destroying them with the earth.
Boye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa: « Nazwi mokano ya koboma bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi, pamba te mokili etondi na mabe likolo na bango. Solo, nakobebisa bango elongo na mokili.
14 Make for thee an ark of timbers of gopher, rooms, shalt thou make with the ark, —and thou shalt cover it within and without with pitch.
Sala masuwa ya mabaya ya goferi mpo na lobiko na yo; kabola yango na bashambre. Okopakola gudron na kati mpe na libanda na yango.
15 And, this, is how thou shalt make it, —three hundred cubits, the length of the ark, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and thirty cubits the height thereof.
Tala ndenge okotonga yango: molayi na yango ekozala na bametele pene nkama moko na tuku mitano, bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na mokuse mpe bametele pene zomi na mitano na bosanda.
16 A place for light, shalt thou make to the ark and to a cubit, shalt thou finish it upwards, and the opening of the ark—in the side thereof, shalt thou put, —with lower, second and third stories, shalt thou make it.
Okotia likolo na yango lidusu ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano, okotia ekuke na mopanzi na yango; mpe na kati, okosala etaje ya liboso, ya mibale mpe ya misato.
17 And, I, behold me! bringing in the flood—even waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein is the spirit of life, from under the heavens, —everything that is in the earth, shall cease to breathe:
Nakotinda mpela na mokili mpo na koboma nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi na se na moyi: ekelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na mabele ekokufa.
18 therefore will I establish my covenant with thee, —and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives, with thee.
Kasi nasali boyokani elongo na yo, yango wana okokota na masuwa: yo, bana na yo ya mibali, mwasi na yo mpe basi ya bana na yo.
19 Moreover of all the living creatures of all flesh—two of each, shalt thou bring into the ark to keep alive with thee, —male and female, shall they be.
Okokotisa mpe kati na masuwa, mibale-mibale, bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi, mwasi mpe mobali, mpo ete obatela yango na bomoi elongo na yo.
20 Of the bird after its kind and of the beast after its kind, [and] of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each, shall come in unto thee. for keeping alive.
Bikelamu mibale ya lolenge moko na moko ya bandeke, ya bibwele mpe ya bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu; nyonso ekoya epai na yo mpo ete obatela yango na bomoi.
21 But thou, take to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it unto thee, —and it shall be for thee and for them for food.
Okozwa biloko ya kolia ya lolenge na lolenge mpe okobomba yango mpo ete ezala bilei na yo elongo na yango. »
22 And Noah did [so], —according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Noa asalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Nzambe atindaki ye.
The World is Destroyed by Water
