Genesis 6
1 And it was that began humankind to become numerous on [the] surface of the ground and daughters they were born to them.
Amewo dzi, eye wosɔ gbɔ ŋutɔ ɖe anyigba dzi. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la,
2 And they saw [the] sons of God [the] daughters of humankind that [were] good they and they took for themselves wives from all whom they chose.
mawu viwo kpɔ be amegbetɔwo ƒe nyɔnuwo dze tugbe, eye woɖe wo dometɔ siwo nyo wo ŋu la.
3 And he said Yahweh not will remain spirit my in humankind for ever in that also he [is] flesh and they will be days his one hundred and twenty year[s].
Tete Yehowa gblɔ be, “Mele be nye Gbɔgbɔ naganɔ amegbetɔwo me tegbee o, elabena amegbetɔwo wɔ nu vɔ̃ le goawo katã me. Woƒe agbemeŋkekewo anye ƒe alafa ɖeka kple blaeve.”
4 The Nephilim they were on the earth in the days those and also after thus when they went [the] sons of God into [the] daughters of humankind and they bore children to them they [were] the mighty [men] who [were] from long ago [the] men of name.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me kple emegbe gɔ̃ hã la, esime mawu viwo ɖea amegbetɔwo ƒe nyɔnuwo la, wo viwo zua ame dzɔatsuwo, eye ŋutinya geɖewo nɔ wo ŋu.
5 And he saw Yahweh that [was] great [the] evil of humankind on the earth and every inclination of [the] thoughts of heart his only [was] evil every day.
Esime Yehowa kpɔ ale si gbegbe amegbetɔwo vɔ̃ɖie, eye wòkpɔ be woƒe agbenɔnɔ ɖo ta nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ko gbɔ la,
6 And he regretted Yahweh that he had made humankind on the earth and he was pained to heart his.
evee ŋutɔ be yewɔ amegbetɔ. Nu sia gbã dzi nɛ.
7 And he said Yahweh I will wipe humankind which I created from on [the] surface of the ground from humankind unto animal[s] unto creeping thing[s] and unto [the] bird[s] of the heavens for I regret that I have made them.
Tete Yehowa gblɔ be, “Matsrɔ̃ amegbetɔƒome blibo si mewɔ la ɖa le anyigba dzi. Ɛ̃, matsrɔ̃ lãwo, xewo kple nu gbagbe siwo tana la hã, elabena evem be mewɔ wo.”
8 And Noah he found favor in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Ke Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le Noa ŋu.
9 These [are] [the] accounts of Noah Noah [was] a man righteous blameless he was in generations his with God he walked about Noah.
Noa ƒe ŋutinya yi ale: Noa nye ame dzɔdzɔe kple ame maɖifɔ le ame siwo nɔ anyi le eŋɔli la dome, eye wòzɔ kple Mawu.
10 And he fathered Noah three sons Shem Ham and Japheth.
Ŋutsuvi etɔ̃ nɔ esi: Woawoe nye Sem, Ham kple Yafet.
11 And was corrupt the earth before God and was filled the earth violence.
Azɔ la, nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ganɔ edzi yim wu tsã le xexea me godoo, eye Mawu kpɔ be nu vlo wɔwɔ na xexea me gblẽ keŋ.
12 And he saw God the earth and there! it was corrupt for had corrupted all flesh way its on the earth.
Mawu kpɔ ale si xexea me va gblẽe, elabena ame siwo katã nɔ xexea me la ƒe zɔzɔme gblẽ le anyigba dzi.
13 And he said God to Noah [the] end of all flesh [is] coming before me for is full the earth violence because of them and here [am] I about to destroy them with the earth.
Ale Mawu gblɔ na Noa be, “Mele ameawo katã tsrɔ̃ ge, elabena woƒe nu vlo wɔwɔ xɔ anyigba la dzi. Matsrɔ̃ wo kple anyigba la siaa.

17 And I here I [am] about to bring the flood water on the earth to destroy all flesh which [is] in it [the] breath of life from under the heavens all that [is] on the earth will die.
“Kpɔ ɖa, mana tsi naɖɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye wòatsrɔ̃ nu sia nu si me agbegbɔgbɔ le la. Nu sia nu si le anyigba dzi la atsrɔ̃.
18 And I will establish covenant my with you and you will go into the ark you and sons your and wife your and [the] wives of sons your with you.
“Ke mele nu blam kpli wò be makpɔ tawò le aɖakaʋu la me nànɔ dedie kple srɔ̃wò kple viwò ŋutsuwo kple wo srɔ̃wo.
19 And of every living [thing] of all flesh two of everything you will bring into the ark to preserve alive with you male and female they will be.
Nàtsɔ nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi eveve, atsu kple asi ade aɖakaʋu la me be woanɔ agbe le gbɔwò.
20 Of the bird[s] to kind its and of the animal[s] to kind its from every creeping thing of the ground to kind its two of everything they will come to you to preserve alive.

21 And you take for yourself some of all food which is eaten and you will gather [it] to yourself and it will become for you and for them food.
Dzra nuɖuɖu si woawo kple miawo siaa miahiã la ɖo ɖe aɖakaʋu la me.”
22 And he did Noah according to all that he commanded him God so he did.
