Genesis 7
1 And Yahweh said to Noah, Enter thou and all thy house, into the ark, —for, thee, have I seen righteous before me, in this generation.
Mgbe ụbọchị ahụ zuru, Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ Noa sị ya, “Baa nʼime ụgbọ mmiri, gị na ezinaụlọ gị niile, nʼihi na nʼime ndị niile bi nʼọgbọ a, ọ bụ naanị gị bụ onye ezi omume m hụrụ.
2 Of all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female, —and, of the beasts that are not clean, shall be two a male and his female.
Kpọrọ ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a a gụrụ dịka ndị dị ọcha, dịka ụdị ha si dị asaa asaa, oke na nwunye. Otu a kwa, kpọrọkwa ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a gụrụ dịka ndị na-adịghị ọcha, dịka ụdị ha si dị, abụọ abụọ, oke na nwunye,
3 Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, —to keep alive a seed on the face of all the earth.
na ụmụ anụ ufe asaa asaa, dịka ụdị ha si dị, oke na nwunye, maka idebe ụdị ndị a niile ndụ nʼụwa.
4 For in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, —so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.
Nʼihi na ụbọchị asaa site taa, aga m ezidata mmiri ozuzo nʼụwa. Mmiri a ga-ezo iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị. Aga m ekpochapụ site nʼelu ụwa ihe niile nwere ndụ nke m kere.”
5 And Noah did, —according to all that Yahweh commanded him.
Ya mere, Noa mere ihe niile Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
6 Now, Noah, was six hundred years old, —when, the flood, came, even waters on the earth.
Noa gbara narị afọ isii mgbe mmiri ukwu a bidoro izo nʼelu ụwa.
7 So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him into the ark, —from before the waters of the flood,
Noa banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, ya na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na nwunye ya, na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya ndị ikom ịgbanarị uju mmiri ahụ.
8 Of the beasts that were clean, and of the beasts that were not clean, —and of the birds, and everything that creepeth on the ground,
Ụmụ anụmanụ ndị dị ọcha, na ndị na-adịghị ọcha, abụọ abụọ, tinyere anụ ufe na ihe niile e kere eke na-akpụgharị nʼala, abụọ abụọ kwa,
9 two and two, went they in unto Noah, into the ark male and female, —as God commanded Noah.
oke na nwunye, bịakwutere Noa soro ya banye nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, dịka Chineke nyere Noa nʼiwu.
10 And it came to pass, in the seven days, —that the waters of the flood, came on the earth.
Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, uju mmiri ahụ bịakwasịrị ụwa.
11 In the six hundredth year, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.
Nʼafọ narị isii nke ndụ Noa, nʼọnwa nke abụọ, nʼụbọchị nke iri na asaa, bụ ụbọchị isi iyi niile dị nʼime ime ala nupụtara nʼelu ala, mmiri niile dị na mbara eluigwe ka a hapụrụ ka ha wụdata nʼụwa.
12 (And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth, —forty days and forty nights.)
Mmiri zogịdere na-esepụghị aka iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị.
13 On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah’s sons, —and Noah’s wife, and his sons’ three wives with them into the ark:
Nʼụbọchị ahụ kpomkwem, Noa banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, ya na Shem, Ham na Jafet, bụ ụmụ Noa, na nwunye Noa, na ndị nwunye atọ nke ụmụ ya.
14 they, and all the wild-beasts after their kind and all the tame-beasts after their kind, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth after their kind, —and all the birds after their kind, every bird of every wing.
Ha onwe ha, na anụ ọhịa ọbụla, nʼụdị ya, na anụ ụlọ ọbụla, nʼụdị ya na ihe ọbụla e kere eke na-akpụgharị nʼala, nʼụdị ya, na anụ ufe ọbụla nʼụdị ya, na aha nnụnụ ọbụla na ihe ọbụla nwere nku.
15 So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark, —two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit of life.
Ha bịakwutere Noa nʼime ụgbọ mmiri ahụ, abụọ abụọ site nʼihe niile ọbụla e kere eke, nke nwere ume ndụ nʼime ha.
16 And, they that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered, as God commanded him, —and Yahweh shut him in round about.
Ma ndị banyerenụ bụ oke na nwunye, site na ihe niile nwere ndụ dịka Chineke nyere ya nʼiwu. Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mechiri ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ.
17 And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, —and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above the earth,
Uju mmiri nọgidere nʼụwa iri ụbọchị anọ. Mgbe mmiri ndị a na-aba ụba, ha buliri ụgbọ mmiri ahụ elu site nʼelu ala.
18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly, on the earth, —and the ark went its way on the face of the waters.
Mmiri ndị a toro na-ala elu na-abawanyekwa ụba nʼelu ụwa. Ụgbọ mmiri ahụ segooro nʼelu mmiri.
19 Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, —so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:
Mmiri ndị ahụ toro laa elu kpuchie ugwu ukwu niile dị nʼokpuru mbara eluigwe.
20 fifteen cubits upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became covered.
Mmiri ndị a toro kpuchiri ugwu niile, ruo na ịla elu mmiri ndị a site nʼelu ugwu ukwu niile ruru mita asaa.
21 And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, —and all mankind.
Ihe niile nwere ndụ nke na-ejegharị nʼelu ụwa kubiri ume. Anụ ufe, na anụ ụlọ, na anụ ọhịa, na ihe niile e kere eke jupụtara nʼụwa, na ụmụ mmadụ niile.
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground died.
Ee, ihe niile na-eku ume nke bi nʼelu ala nwụrụ.
23 Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth, —so that there was left—only Noah and they that were with him in the ark.
Ihe niile nwere ume ndụ nʼelu ụwa ka e kpochapụrụ. Mmadụ na anụmanụ, na anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala na nnụnụ niile. A lara ha niile nʼiyi. Ma ọ bụ naanị Noa na ndị niile so ya nọdụ nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ ka a hapụrụ ndụ.
24 Thus prevailed the waters on the earth, —a hundred and fifty days.
Narị ụbọchị na iri ụbọchị ise ka mmiri dọọrọ nʼelu ụwa dum.
The Great Flood
