< 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.
Hoe t’Iehovà amy Nòake, Miziliha an-dakam-polo’ay ao, ihe naho o keleia’o iabio, amy te ihe avao ty nitreako vantañe ami’ty tariratse toy.
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.
Ampin­drezo ama’o ki-fito-fito amy ze hene karazam-biby malio, ty lahy naho vave, le roe amy ze karazam-biby faly, ty lahy naho i vave’ey
3 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
naho sindre fito kiroe-roe amy ze karazam-boron-dikerañe, lahy naho vave, hameloma’e tiry ambone’ ty tane toy.
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.”
Ie mongotse ty fito andro garagadìñe le hampiaviako orañe efa-polo andro naho efa-polo haleñe ty an-tane-bey atoy; vaho ho faopaoheko ami’ty tarehe’ ty tane toy ze fonga raha veloñe namboareko.
5 Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
Nihenefe’ i Nòake ze hene nandilia’ Iehovà.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
Nienen-jato taoñe t’i Nòake te nisorotombak’ ambone’ ty tane toy o ranoo;
7 Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
le nizilik’ am-po’ i lakam-polo-aiy t’i Nòake rekets’ o ana-dahi’eo naho i vali’e vaho o valin’ ana’iareoo ty amy fiempoempoan-dranoy.
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,
Le amo biby malioo naho amo biby fàlio naho amo voroñeo vaho amo raha mi­sitsitse an-tane atoio,
9 males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
kiroekiroe, lahy naho vave, songa nizilik’ an-dakam-poloay mindre amy Nòake, amy nandilian’Añahare i Nòakey.
10 Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
Ie modo ty fito andro le fa an-tane atoy o rano fiempoempoañeo.
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.
Amy taom-pah’ enen-jato niveloma’ i Nòake, am-bola’e faharoe, amy andro faha folo-fito-ambi’ i volañeiy, amy an­dro zay le hene nitorotositse ze fihanañan-dranon-tsikeokeoke vaho nisokake o lalan-dikerañe iabio.
12 Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
An-tane atoy efa-polo andro naho efa-polo haleñe i orañey.
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.
Amy andro zay ty nimoaha’ i Nòake naho i Seme, i Kàme naho Ièfete, ana-dahi’ i Nòake rey, naho i vali’ i Nòake vaho ty vali’ i ana’e telo rey amy lakam-poloaiy ao;
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.
ie naho ze hene bibi-ly amy karaza’ey, naho ze fonga hare amy karaza’ey, naho ze mpisi­tsitse misitsitse an-tane atoy iaby amy karaza’ey, vaho ze hene voroñe amy karaza’ey, toe ze kila aman’ elatse.
15 Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
Nizilike mb’amy Nòak’ amy lakam-poloaiy ao, kiroekiroe boak’ amy ze nofotse aman-kofò-beloñe iaby;
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.
le nizilike, lahy naho vave amy ze hene nofotse ty nimoak’ ao, ami’ty nandilian’Añahare aze vaho narindri’ Iehovà ao.
17 It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
Efapolo andro tambone’ ty tane toy i fisorotombahañey; nihamaro o ranoo le nonjone’e i lakam-poloaiy vaho nitoabotse an-tiotio’ ty tane toy eñe i lakam-poloaiy.
18 As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
Nitolom-pionjoñe naho nienène ambone’ ty tane toy i ranoy vaho nihafoñ’ ambone’ rano ey i lakam-poloaiy.
19 The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
Akore ty fionjona’ o rano ambone’ ty tane toio kanao nahalipotse ze atao vohitse abo ambanen-dikerañe ey;
20 Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
toe nilikoare’ i ranoy kiho folo-lim’ amby o vohitseo.
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.
Le fonga niopo ze nofotse nisitsitse an-tane atoy ndra voroñe ndra hare ndra biby ly, naho ze fifamorohotam-biby mifamorohotse an-tane atoy, vaho ze fonga ondaty;
22 On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
le kila nimongotse ze tambone’ i tane nimaikey, ze aman-kofòn-kaveloñe am-piantsona’e ao.
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.
Fonga finaopao’e ze raha namboareñe ambone’ ty tane toy, naho ondaty, naho hare, naho ze raha misitsitse, vaho o voron-tiokeo; toe finao’e an-tane atoy. I Nòak’ avao ty nihonka’e miharo amo nindre ama’e an-dakam-poloaio.
24 The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
Tambatse ambone’ ty tane toy zato-tsi-limampolo andro o ranoo.
