4 For to days yet seven I [am] about to bring rain on the earth forty day[s] and forty night[s] and I will wipe all the existence which I have made from on [the] surface of the ground.
Le kɔsiɖa ɖeka megbe tso egbe sia dzi la, mana tsi nadza ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene, eye matsrɔ̃ nu gbagbe siwo katã mewɔ ɖe anyigba dzi la.”
5 And he did Noah according to all that he commanded him Yahweh.
Ale Noa wɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa di tso esi be wòawɔ la.

7 And he went Noah and sons his and wife his and [the] wives of sons his with him into the ark because of [the] waters of the flood.

9 Two two they came to Noah into the ark male and female just as he had commanded God Noah.

10 And it was to [the] seven the days and [the] waters of the flood they were on the earth.
Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, tsi dza ɖe anyigba la dzi.
11 In year six hundred year of [the] life of Noah in the month second on [the] seven-teen day of the month on the day this they were split open all [the] springs of [the] deep great and [the] floodgates of the heavens they were opened.

12 And it was the rain on the earth forty day[s] and forty night[s].
Tsi de asi dzadza me sesĩe, eye tsi dzidziwo ŋɔ tso tome va anyigba dzi ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene.
13 On [the] substance of the day this he went Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth [the] sons of Noah and [the] wife of Noah and [the] three [the] wives of sons his with them into the ark.
Ke Noa yi aɖakaʋu la me gbe ma gbe kple srɔ̃a kple viawo, Sem, Ham kple Yafet kple wo srɔ̃wo.

15 And they came to Noah into the ark two two of all flesh which [was] in it [the] breath of life.
Nuwɔwɔ sia nuwɔwɔ si me agbegbɔgbɔ le la ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe, atsu kple asi va Noa gbɔ, eye woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me.
16 And those [which] came male and female of all flesh they came just as he had commanded him God and he closed Yahweh behind him.
Woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me eveve, atsu kple asi abe ale si Mawu ɖo na wo ene. Tete Yehowa tu ʋɔtru la ɖe wo nu.
17 And it was the flood forty day[s] on the earth and they increased the waters and they lifted the ark and it rose from on the earth.
Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ edzi ŋkeke blaene sɔŋ. Exɔ anyigba dzi, eye wòtsɔ aɖakaʋu la do ɖe dzi.

Esi tsi la nɔ ɖɔɖɔm ɖe edzi, eye wònɔ aɖakaʋu la dom ɖe dzi ɣe sia ɣi wu tsã la, aɖakaʋu la nɔ dedie le tsi la dzi.
19 And the waters they increased exceedingly exceedingly on the earth and they were covered all the mountains high which [were] under all the heavens.

21 And it died all flesh - which crept on the earth among the bird[s] and among the livestock and among the animal[s] and among every swarming thing which swarms on the earth and every human.
Nu gbagbe siwo katã nɔ anyigba dzi, xeviwo, aƒemelãwo, gbemelãwo, nu gbagbe siwo katã tana kple amegbetɔƒome blibo la katã tsrɔ̃.
