Genesis 6
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
Ke mwet uh fahsrelik nu yen nukewa faclu, ac oasr tulik mutan osweyukla,
2 some of the men who (belonged to/believed in) God saw that some of the women who did not (belong to/believe in) God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
kutu sin mwet lucng liyauk lah tulik mutan inge oasku, ouinge elos payukyak selos su elos lungse.
3 Then Yahweh said, “[I will] not [allow] my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).”
Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah tia fuhlela mwet uh in moul nwe tok — elos mano na sukawil. Ingela elos ac fah tia moul loes liki yac siofok longoul.”
4 There were [giants called] Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time [some of the Nephil] men who (belonged to/believed in) God had sex [EUP] with women who did not (belong to/believe in) God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
In len ingo, aok finne kutu pacl toko, oasr mwet na lulap pisa fin faclu pangpang Nephilim, su ma nutin mutan faclu nu sin mukul lucng. Elos mwet na pwengpeng ac pulaik in pacl so.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
Ke LEUM GOD El liye lupan koluk lun mwet nukewa fin faclu, ac lupan nunak koluk lalos ke pacl nukewa,
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
El arulana auli lah el oralosla ac fuhlelosi fin faclu. Yohk oela lal,
7 So he said, “I will completely destroy the people I made. I will also destroy all the animals and the creatures that scurry across the ground and the birds. None of them will remain on the earth, because I regret that I made them.”
na El fahk, “Nga fah sukela mwet nukewa nga orala inge, wi ma orakrak ac won nukewa, mweyen yohk toasr luk lah nga oralosla.”
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El insewowo sel Noah.
9 This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship with God.
Pa inge sramsram kacl Noah ac fwilin tulik natul. Noah el moul in sie sin sie yurin God, ac el mukena moul suwohs ac wangin mwatal inmasrlon mwet nukewa in fwil lal.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Oasr wen tolu natul Noah, inelos pa Shem, Ham, ac Japheth.
11 At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
Tusruktu mwet nukewa sayal Noah arulana koluk ye mutun God, na lokoalok ac moul sesuwos apunla faclu.
12 God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
God El liye lah faclu arulana kolukla, mweyen moul lun mwet nukewa arulana koluk.
13 So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on the earth.
God El fahk nu sel Noah, “Nga wotela tari ngan kunausla mwet nukewa. Nga ac sukelosla nufon, mweyen faclu sessesla ke orekma koluk lalos.
14 [I want you to] make for yourself a large boat from cypress wood. Make rooms inside it. Cover the outside and the inside with tar [to make it (waterproof/so that water cannot get in and sink the boat]).
Musaela soko oak ah okom ke sak na wowo. Orala kutu fukil an loac, ac sroalela acn loac ac acn lik ke tar.
15 This is the size you must make it: It shall be (150 yards/135 meters) long, (25 yards/22.5 meters) wide, and (15 yards/13.5 meters) high.
Oru in fit angfoko lumngaul lusa, fit itngoul limekosr sralapa, ac fit angngaul limekosr fulata.
16 Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about (18 in./.5 meter) between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side.
Sunya oak uh, ac likiya sie masrol ma inch singoul oalkosr inmasrlon susu sacn ac sisken oak uh. Musai tuh in oasr twek tolu ac orala sie srungul an ke siska uh.
17 Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything on the earth will die.
Nga ac supwama sie sronot ah nu faclu in kunausla ma nukewa ma oasr moul la. Ma nukewa fin faclu ac fah misa,
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
tusruktu nga ac orala sie wuleang inmasrlok kom. Utyak nu in oak uh wi mutan kiom, wen nutum, ac mutan kialos.
19 And I want to save some of all kinds of creatures. So you must also bring two of all living creatures, a male and a female, into the boat with you, so that their species also may remain alive.
Kom fah use kais lukwa ke kain in ma orakrak nukewa nu in oak uh, mukul se mutan se, in wi kom moulla.
20 Two of every kind of creature will come to [in order that by your putting them in the boat] you will keep them alive. They will include two of each kind of bird and each kind of animal and each kind of creature that scurries across the ground.
Nu ke ip lun won uh, in fal nu ke kain in won, ac nu ke kosro uh, in fal nu ke kain in kosro, ke ma orakrak nukewa in fohk uh, in fal nu ke kain in lumah — kais luo ke kain nukewa fah utyak nu yurum tuh elos fah moul.
21 You must also take some of every kind of food that you and all these animals will need, and store it in the boat.”
Us kain in mwe mongo nukewa in wi kom, ma ac fal nu sum ac nu selos.”
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
Noah el oru ma nukewa ma God El sapkin.
The World is Destroyed by Water
