Genesis 7
1 Yahweh said to Noah, “Come, you and all your household, into the ark, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Noa, “Ingia katika safina wewe na jamaa yako yote, kwa sababu katika kizazi hiki nimeona ya kuwa wewe ni mwenye haki.
2 Of every clean animal you will bring with you seven males and seven females. From the animals that are not clean, of them bring two, the male and his mate.
Uchukue wanyama saba walio safi wa kila aina, wa kiume na wa kike, na wanyama wawili wawili wa kila aina walio najisi wa kiume na wa kike.
3 Also of the birds of the sky, bring seven males and seven females, to preserve their offspring upon the surface of all the earth.
Pia uchukue ndege saba walio safi wa kila aina, wa kiume na wa kike, ili kuhifadhi aina zao mbalimbali katika dunia yote.
4 For in seven days I will cause it to rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy from off the surface of the ground every living thing that I have made.”
Siku saba kuanzia sasa nitaleta mvua juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini usiku na mchana, nami nitafutilia mbali kutoka uso wa nchi kila kiumbe hai nilichokiumba.”
5 Noah did all that Yahweh commanded him.
Noa akafanya yote kama Bwana alivyomwamuru.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon the earth.
Noa alikuwa na miaka 600 gharika ilipokuja juu ya dunia.
7 Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives went into the ark together because of the waters of the flood.
Noa na mkewe na wanawe na wake zao wakaingia katika safina ili waepuke ile gharika.
8 Clean animals and unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps upon the ground,
Jozi ya wanyama walio safi na walio najisi, ndege na viumbe vitambaavyo,
9 two by two, male and female, came to Noah and went into the ark, just as God had commanded Noah.
wa kiume na wa kike, walikuja kwa Noa wakaingia katika safina kama Mungu alivyomwamuru Noa.
10 It came about that after the seven days, the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
Baada ya siku saba, maji ya gharika yakaja juu ya dunia.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day, all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Katika siku ya kumi na saba ya mwezi wa pili mwaka wa 600 wa kuishi kwake Noa, siku hiyo ndipo chemchemi zote hata zilizo chini sana ya ardhi zilibubujika kwa nguvu, na malango ya mafuriko ya mbinguni yakafunguliwa.
12 The rain began and fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
Mvua ikanyesha juu ya nchi siku arobaini usiku na mchana.
13 On that very same day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark.
Siku hiyo Noa, na mkewe, na wanawe Shemu, Hamu na Yafethi pamoja na wake zao wakaingia katika ile safina.
14 They entered along with each wild animal according to its kind, and each sort of livestock according to its kind, and each creeping thing that creeps upon the earth according to its kind, and every sort of bird according to its kind, each kind of creature with wings.
Nao walikuwa pamoja na kila mnyama wa mwituni kufuatana na aina yake, wanyama wote wafugwao kufuatana na aina zao, kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya ardhi kwa aina yake, na kila ndege kufuatana na aina yake, naam kila kiumbe chenye mabawa.
15 Two of all flesh in which was the breath of life came to Noah and entered into the ark.
Viumbe vyote vyenye pumzi ya uhai ndani yake vikaja kwa Noa viwili viwili, vikaingia katika safina.
16 The animals that went in were male and female of all flesh; they entered in just as God had commanded him. Then Yahweh shut the door after them.
Wanyama walioingia katika safina walikuwa wa kiume na wa kike, wa kila kiumbe chenye uhai kama Mungu alivyomwamuru Noa, ndipo Bwana akamfungia ndani.
17 Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted the ark and raised it above the earth.
Kwa siku arobaini mafuriko yaliendelea kujaa duniani na maji yalivyozidi kuongezeka, yaliinua safina juu sana kutoka kwenye uso wa nchi.
18 The waters completely covered over the earth, and the ark floated upon the surface of the water.
Maji yakajaa na kuongezeka sana juu ya nchi, na safina ikaelea juu ya uso wa maji.
19 The waters rose greatly on the earth so that all the high mountains that were under the entire sky were covered.
Maji yakazidi kujaa juu ya nchi, yakaifunika milima yote mirefu chini ya mbingu yote.
20 The waters rose fifteen cubits above the tops of the mountains.
Maji yakaendelea kujaa yakaifunika milima kwa kina cha zaidi ya dhiraa kumi na tano.
21 All living beings that moved upon the earth died—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the living creatures that lived in great numbers upon the earth, and all mankind.
Kila kiumbe hai kitambaacho juu ya nchi kikaangamia: Ndege, wanyama wa kufugwa, wanyama pori, viumbe vyote juu ya nchi na wanadamu wote.
22 All living creatures who lived on the land, who breathed the breath of life through their noses, died.
Kila kiumbe juu ya nchi kavu chenye pumzi ya uhai kikafa.
23 So every living thing that was on the surface of the earth was wiped out, from mankind to the larger animals, to creeping things, and to birds of the sky. They were all destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.
Kila kitu chenye uhai juu ya uso wa nchi kilifutiliwa mbali, watu, wanyama, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege warukao angani wakafutiliwa mbali toka duniani. Waliobaki ni Noa peke yake na wale waliokuwa pamoja naye ndani ya safina.
24 The waters stayed upon the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
Maji yakaifunika dunia kwa siku 150.
The Great Flood
