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.
परमप्रभुले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ र तेरा सबै जहान जहाजभित्र आओ । किनकि मेरो सामु यो पुस्तामा मैले तँलाई धर्मी देखेको छु ।
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.
हरेक जातका शुद्ध पशुबाट तैँले आफूसित सात भाले र सात पोथी ल्याउनू । अशुद्ध पशुहरूबाट चाहिँ तैँले दुईवटा अर्थात् भाले र पोथी ल्याउनू ।
3 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
अनि आकाशका पक्षीहरूबाट तिनीहरूको जातिलाई पृथ्वीको सतहमा जीवित राख्न सात जोडी भाले र पोथी ल्याउनू ।
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.”
किनकि अबको सात दिनमा म चालिस दिन र चालिस रात पृथ्वीमा पानी बर्साउनेछु । मैले बनाएको हरेक जीवित प्राणीलाई म पृथ्वीको सतहबाट नष्ट गर्नेछु ।”
5 Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ नोआले सबै गरे ।
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय हुँदा नोआ छ सय वर्षका थिए ।
7 Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
जलप्रलयको पानीको कारणले नोआ, तिनका छोराहरू, तिनकी पत्नी र तिनका बुहारीहरू सँगसँगै जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
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,
शुद्ध र अशुद्ध पशुहरू, पक्षीहरू र भुइँमा घस्रने हरेक प्राणी, परमेश्वरले नोआलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ
9 males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
भाले र पोथी गरी जोडी-जोडी नोआकहाँ आए र जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
10 Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
सात दिनपछि पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलयको पानी पर्न लाग्यो ।
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.
नोआको जीवनको छ सय वर्षको दोस्रो महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा विशाल अगाधका मूलहरू फुटे र आकाशका झ्यालहरू खुले ।
12 Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
चालिस दिन र चालिस रातसम्म पृथ्वीमा पानी परिरह्यो ।
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.
त्यही दिनमा नोआ, तिनका छोराहरू शेम, हाम र येपेत अनि तिनकी पत्नी र तिनका तिन जना बुहारी जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
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.
हरेक जङ्गली जनावरको जात-जातअनुसार, हरेक पाल्तु पशुको जात-जातअनुसार, भुइँमा घस्रने हरेक घस्रने जन्तुको जात-जातअनुसार र पखेटा भएको हरेक पक्षीको जात-जातअनुसार सँगसँगै तिनीहरू जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
15 Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
जीवनको सास हुने सबै प्राणीका जोडी-जोडी नोआकहाँ आएर जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
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.
भित्र प्रवेश गरेका प्राणीहरू सबैका भाले र पोथी थिए । परमेश्वरले आज्ञा दिनुभएझैँ तिनीहरू भित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
17 It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले ढोका बन्द गरिदिनुभयो । अनि पृथ्वीमा चालिस दिनसम्म जलप्रलय भयो र पानीले जहाजलाई जमिनबाट माथि उचाल्यो ।
18 As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
पानीले सारा पृथ्वीलाई पूर्ण रूपमा ढाक्यो अनि जहाज पानीको सतहमाथि तैरियो ।
19 The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
आकाशमुनिका सबै अग्ला-अग्ला पर्वतहरूलाई ढाक्ने गरी पृथ्वीमा पानी चौपट्टै भरियो ।
20 Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
पानी पर्वतहरूको टुप्पोमा सात मिटर माथिसम्म आयो ।
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.
पक्षीहरू, पालिने पशुहरू, जङ्गली जनावरहरू, जमिनमा ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा बसोबास गर्ने सबै प्राणी र सबै मानव-जाति जो पृथ्वीमा चलहल गर्थे, ती सबै मरे ।
22 On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
जमिनमा बस्ने सबै जीवित प्राणी जसले आ-आफ्ना नाकबाट जीवनको सास फेर्थे, ती सबै मरे ।
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.
यसरी, मानव-जातिदेखि ठुला जनावरहरू र घस्रने जन्तुसम्म पृथ्वीको सतहमा भएको हरेक प्राणीसाथै आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरू मासिए । तिनीहरू सबै नै पृथ्वीबाट नष्ट गरिए । नोआ र तिनीसित जहाजमा हुनेहरू मात्र बाँचे ।
24 The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
एक सय पचास दिनसम्म पृथ्वीमा पानी घटेन ।
The Great Flood
