< 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.
Basa naa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Noh nae, “Au mete neu bee-bꞌee, akaꞌ ho fo rala ma ndoos. Huu naa, mo sao-ana mara, ofai rala mi leo.
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.
Mendi basa banda fo hei miaꞌ ra, ma basa banda fo hei tao neu tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Auꞌ ra, pasan hitu-hitu ofai rala neu. Mendi basa mbuiꞌ ra, pasan beꞌe hituꞌ boe. Te banda feaꞌ ra naa, mendi pasan beꞌe esaꞌ a. No taꞌo naa, banda ma mbuiꞌ naa ra, dadꞌi fini, fo ara afiꞌ mopo.
3 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
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.”
Musunedꞌa malolole e! Te helaꞌ a fai hitu ena, Au uꞌondaꞌ udꞌan nda hahae sa, losa rereloꞌ fai haa nulu ma tetembaꞌ fai haa nulu. Naa fo, mate basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia madꞌaꞌ ata, fo Au uꞌudadadꞌiꞌ alaꞌ ra.”
5 Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
Boe ma, Noh tao tungga basa LAMATUALAIN parenda Na.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
Noh too natun nee ma, oeꞌ a lala nema.
7 Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
Ana no sao na, ana nara, ma ana feto feu nara, ofai rala reu, fo rasodꞌa mia oe mandali monaeꞌ a.
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,
Noh o tungga LAMATUALAIN parenda Na, de nendi basa mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ ma banda feaꞌ ra, esaꞌ no nonoo na, mae banda fo atahori raaꞌ ra, ma banda fo atahori nda raaꞌ ra sa.
9 males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
10 Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
Basa fai hitu ma, udꞌan monaeꞌ mboꞌa nema, fo nae tatana raefafoꞌ a.
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.
Noh too natun nee, fula rua, fai sanahulu hitu ma, oe monaeꞌ a nema! Onaꞌ lalai a lelesu na nenesoiꞌ, de oeꞌ a mboꞌa rae neu. Ma basa oe mataꞌ sia rae rala ra fanggi, de oe a nasapupuraꞌ dea neu.
12 Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
Udꞌan o nda hahae sa hatuꞌ-rerelon, losa fai haa nulu.
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.
Te faiꞌ naa, Noh, no sao na, ma ana nara teluꞌ se Sem, Yafet no Ham, ma ana feto feu nara, basa se ofai rala reu.
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.
Ara rala reu ro banda mata-mataꞌ. Naeni, banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, mbuiꞌ ra ma banda malidꞌa feaꞌ ra.
15 Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
Noh ofai rala neu no basa masodꞌaꞌ ra pasan beꞌe esaꞌ, tungga Lamatualain parenda na. Basa se rala reu ma, LAMATUALAIN nggoe ofai a lelesu na.
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.
17 It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
Boe ma, udꞌan monaeꞌ a nema nakandooꞌ a losa fai haa nulu, de oe mandali monaeꞌ a boe hene naruꞌ ata neu, losa ofai a laa. Basa ma, oeꞌ a hene nakandooꞌ a, losa tatana nala lete naruꞌ ra.
18 As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
19 The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
20 Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
Basa ma, oeꞌ a hene nda naloeꞌ sa, losa naru na meter hitu sia mbukuꞌ ra ata.
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.
No taꞌo naa, basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia madꞌaꞌ ata ra, mate. Atahori, banda neꞌebꞌoiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, ma mbuiꞌ ra, basa se mate. Akaꞌ a Noh no basa mana sia ofai rala ra, rasodꞌa.
22 On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
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.
24 The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
Oeꞌ a nda reꞌe sa, losa fula lima.
