< Genesis 6 >

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
Nígbà tí ènìyàn bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní pọ̀ si ní orí ilẹ̀, wọ́n sí bí àwọn ọmọbìnrin.
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all whom they chose.
Àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run rí i wí pé àwọn ọmọbìnrin ènìyàn lẹ́wà, wọ́n sì fẹ́ èyíkéyìí tí ó wù wọ́n ṣe aya.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Èémí ìyè tí mo mí sínú ènìyàn kò ní máa gbé inú ènìyàn títí láé, nítorí ẹran-ara sá à ni òun, ọgọ́fà ọdún ni ọjọ́ rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́.”
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore [children] to them: the same [became] mighty men, who [were] of old, men of renown.
Àwọn òmíràn wà láyé ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àti lẹ́yìn ìgbà náà; nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run lọ bá àwọn ọmọbìnrin ènìyàn lòpọ̀ tí wọ́n sì bímọ fún wọn. Àwọn náà ni ó di akọni àti olókìkí ìgbà náà.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually.
Olúwa sì rí bí ìwà búburú ènìyàn ti ń gbilẹ̀ si, àti pé gbogbo èrò inú rẹ̀ kìkì ibi ni, ní ìgbà gbogbo.
6 And the LORD repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Inú Olúwa sì bàjẹ́ gidigidi nítorí pé ó dá ènìyàn sí ayé, ọkàn rẹ̀ sì gbọgbẹ́.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and the creeping animal, and the fowls of the air; for I repent that I have made them.
Nítorí náà, Olúwa wí pé, “Èmi yóò pa ènìyàn tí mo ti dá run kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, ènìyàn àti ẹranko, àti ohun tí ń rákò, àti ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run, nítorí inú mi bàjẹ́ pé mo ti dá wọn.”
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Ṣùgbọ́n, Noa rí ojúrere Olúwa.
9 These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man, [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.
Wọ̀nyí ni ìtàn Noa. Noa nìkan ni ó jẹ́ olóòótọ́ ènìyàn àti ẹni tí ó pé ní ìgbà ayé rẹ̀, ó sì fi òtítọ́ bá Ọlọ́run rìn.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noa sì bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta, Ṣemu, Hamu àti Jafeti.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God; and the earth was filled with violence.
Ayé sì kún fún ìbàjẹ́ gidigidi ní ojú Ọlọ́run, ó sì kún fún ìwà ipá pẹ̀lú.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Ọlọ́run sì rí bí ayé ti bàjẹ́ tó, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn inú ayé ti bá ara wọn jẹ́ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà wọn.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them: and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Ọlọ́run sì wí fún Noa pé, “Èmi yóò pa gbogbo ènìyàn run, nítorí ilẹ̀ ayé kún fún ìwà ipá nípasẹ̀ wọn. Èmi yóò pa wọ́n run àti ayé pẹ̀lú.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher-wood: rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Nítorí náà fi igi ọ̀mọ̀ kan ọkọ̀, kí o sì yọ yàrá sí inú rẹ̀, kí o sì fi ọ̀dà ilẹ̀ rẹ́ ẹ tinú-tẹ̀yìn.
15 And this [is the fashion] in which thou shalt make it: the length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Báyìí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe kan ọkọ̀ náà: Gígùn rẹ̀ ní òró yóò jẹ́ ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ìgbọ̀nwọ́, ìbú rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ àádọ́ta ìgbọ̀nwọ́, nígbà tí gíga rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ọgbọ̀n ìgbọ̀nwọ́.
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side: [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.
Ṣe òrùlé sí orí ọkọ̀ náà ní ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan, sì ṣe ọkọ̀ náà ní alájà mẹ́ta, ipá kan ní ìsàlẹ̀, ọ̀kan ní àárín àti ọ̀kan tí ó kù ní òkè, ẹ̀gbẹ́ ni kí ó ṣe ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọkọ̀ náà sí.
17 And behold, I, even I do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, in which [is] the breath of life, from under heaven: [and] every thing that [is] on the earth shall die.
Èmi yóò mú ìkún omi wá sí ayé láti pa gbogbo ohun ẹlẹ́mìí run lábẹ́ ọ̀run. Gbogbo ẹ̀dá tí ó ní èémí ìyè ní inú. Gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú ayé yóò parun.
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant: and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó dá májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì wọ ọkọ̀, ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ pẹ̀lú aya rẹ.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee: they shall be male and female.
Ìwọ yóò mú gbogbo ohun alààyè takọ tabo wá sí inú ọkọ̀, kí wọn le wà láààyè pẹ̀lú rẹ.
20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping animal of the earth after its kind, two of every [sort] shall come to thee, to keep [them] alive.
Mú onírúurú àwọn ẹyẹ, ẹranko àti àwọn ohun tí ń rákò ní méjì méjì, kí a bá lè pa wọ́n mọ́ láààyè.
21 And take thou to thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
Mú onírúurú oúnjẹ wá sínú ọkọ̀, kí o pa wọ́n mọ́ fún jíjẹ gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ wà nínú ọkọ̀ àti ènìyàn àti ẹranko.”
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Noa sì ṣe ohun gbogbo bí Ọlọ́run ti pàṣẹ fún un.
