Genesis 7
1 Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that out of everyone who is now living, you alone always act righteously. So you and all your family go into the boat.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Noa: Midìra ao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara ianao mbamin’ ny ankohonanao rehetra, satria ianao no hitako fa marina eo anatrehako amin’ izao olona miara-belona aminao izao.
2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take a male and a female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
Ny biby madio rehetra isan-karazany dia hanalanao ho ao aminao fito avy, lahy sy vavy; ary ny biby tsy madio isan-karazany roa avy, lahy sy vavy;
3 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
ary ny voro-manidina koa isan-karazany fito avy, lahy sy vavy: mba tsy ho lany taranaka ambonin’ ny tany rehetra ireny.
4 Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for 40 days and nights. By doing that, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on the earth.”
Fa raha afaka hafitoana, Izaho handatsaka ranonorana ambonin’ ny tany efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina; ary ny zavatra velona rehetra izay, nataoko dia haringako tsy ho ambonin’ ny tany.
5 Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
Ary Noa nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Jehovah azy.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
Ary efa enin-jato taona Noa, raha tonga tambonin’ ny tany ny safo-drano.
7 Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
Ary Noa sy ny vadiny aman-janany, mbamin’ ny vinantoni-vavy niaraka taminy dia niditra tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara mba tsy ho tratry ny safo-drano.
8 Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
Ary ny biby madio sy ny biby izay tsy madio sy ny vorona mbamin’ izay rehetra mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany,
9 males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
dia nisy niditra tsiroaroa ho ao amin’ i Noa tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara, dia lahy sy vavy, araka izay nandidian’ Andriamanitra an’ i Noa.
10 Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
Ary rehefa afaka hafitoana, dia tonga tambonin’ ny tany ny safo-drano.
11 When Noah was 600 years old, (on the 17th day of the second month [of that year/late in October]), all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst forth, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam [MET] in the sky burst open.
Tamin’ ny andro fahafito ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa tamin’ ny fahenin-jato taona niainan’ i Noa, tamin’ izany andro izany dia nipoitra ny loharano rehetra amin’ ny lalina lehibe, ary nivoha ny varavaran’ ny lanitra.
12 Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
Dia nisy ranonorana nivatravatra tamin’ ny tany efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina.
13 On the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives.
Androtrizay indrindra dia efa tafiditra tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara Noa, sy Sema sy Hama ary Jafeta, zanakalahin’ i Noa, mbamin’ ny vadin’ i Noa, ary ny vinantony telo vavy niaraka taminy;
14 They had already put in the boat some of every kind of wild animal and every kind of livestock and every kind of bird and every other creature that has wings.
dia izy ireo sy ny bibi-dia rehetra; samy araka ny karazany avy, sy ny biby fiompy rehetra, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny vorona rehetra, samy araka ny karazany avy, dia ny voronkely sy ny manana elatra rehetra.
15 Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
Dia niditra tao amin’ i Noa tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara ireo, dia tsiroaroa avy tamin’ ny nofo rehetra izay manam-pofonaina.
16 There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
Ary izay niditra tao dia lahy sy vavy, avy tamin’ ny nofo rehetra, araka izay nandidian’ Andriamanitra an’ i Noa; ary narindrin’ i Jehovah tao izy.
17 It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
Ary naharitra efa-polo andro tambonin’ ny tany ny safo-drano, dia tonga betsaka ny rano ka nanainga ny sambo-fiara, dia nitsinkafona ho afaka amin’ ny tany izy.
18 As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
Ary nahery ny rano ka tonga betsaka indrindra tambonin’ ny tany; dia nandeha teny ambonin’ ny rano ny sambo-fiara.
19 The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
Ary nahery dia nahery indrindra ny rano teny ambonin’ ny tany, ka voasarona ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra izay tambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra.
20 Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
Dimy ambin’ ny folo hakiho no nihoaran’ ny rano, ka voasarona ny tendrombohitra.
21 As a result, every living creature on the surface of the earth died. That included birds and livestock and wild animals and other creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the people.
Dia maty ny nofo rehetra izay nihetsiketsika tambonin’ ny tany, dia ny vorona sy ny biby fiompy sy ny bibi-dia sy ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany ary ny olona rehetra.
22 On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
Izay rehetra nanam-pofonaina teo am-bavorony, avy tamin’ izay rehetra teo amin’ ny tany maina, dia maty avokoa.
23 God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
Ary naringana ny zavatra velona rehetra izay tambonin’ ny tany, hatramin’ ny olona ka hatramin’ ny biby fiompy sy ny zava-mandady na mikisaka ary ny voro-manidina; dia naringana tsy ho amin’ ny tany ireny; ary Noa sy izay niara-nitoetra taminy tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara ihany no sisa velona.
24 The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
Ary nahery tambonin’ ny tany dimam-polo amby zato andro ny rano.
The Great Flood
