Genesis 7
1 The LORD said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Nowa, “Lowa mu chombo iwe ndi banja lako lonse, chifukwa ndaona kuti ndiwe wolungama mu mʼbado uwu.
2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
Pa mtundu uliwonse wa nyama zoti nʼkudya utengepo zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi zazikazi zisanu ndi ziwirinso. Koma pa mtundu wa nyama iliyonse yosati nʼkudya utengepo zazimuna ziwiri ndi zazikazi ziwirinso.
3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
Chimodzimodzinso mbalame, utenge zisanu ndi ziwiri zazimuna ndi zisanu ndi ziwiri zazikazi za mtundu uliwonse kuti mitundu yawo isungike ndi moyo pa dziko lonse lapansi.
4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”
Pakapita masiku asanu ndi awiri ndidzagwetsa mvula pa dziko lapansi kwa masiku makumi anayi usana ndi usiku ndipo ndidzawononga cha moyo chilichonse chimene ndinachipanga pa dziko lapansi.”
5 Noah did everything that the LORD commanded him.
Ndipo Nowa anachita zonse zimene Yehova anamulamulira.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
Pamene chigumula chinabwera pa dziko lapansi Nowa anali ndi zaka 600.
7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
Ndipo Nowa, ana ake aamuna, mkazi wake, pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi analowa mu chombo chija kuthawa madzi a chigumula.
8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
Nyama zoti nʼkudya ndi nyama zosadyedwa, mbalame, pamodzi ndi nyama zokwawa zonse zinadza kwa Nowa ziwiriziwiri ndi kulowa mʼchombomo.
9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
Ndipo Nowa anatenga ziwiriziwiri, yayimuna ndi yayikazi monga anamulamulira Mulungu.
10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
Patapita masiku asanu ndi awiri chigumula chinabwera pa dziko lapansi.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.
Pa tsiku la 17 la mwezi wachiwiri, Nowa ali ndi zaka 600, akasupe onse akuya kwambiri anasefuka ndiponso zitseko za madzi akumwamba zinatsekuka.
12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Ndipo mvula inagwa pa dziko lapansi masiku makumi anayi usana ndi usiku.
13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
Linali tsiku lomwelo pamene Nowa ndi ana ake aamuna, Semu, Hamu ndi Yafeti, pamodzi ndi mkazi wake ndi akazi a ana ake atatu aja analowa mu chombo.
14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
Iwowa analowa mʼchombomo pamodzi ndi nyama iliyonse ya kutchire monga mwa mtundu wake, ziweto zonse monga mwa mitundu yawo, nyama yokwawa iliyonse monga mwa mtundu wake ndi mbalame iliyonse monga mwa mtundu wake.
15 Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
Nowa analowa mu chombo muja pamodzi ndi zamoyo zonse.
16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then the LORD shut him in.
Iye analowa nazo zazimuna ndi zazikazi monga mmene Mulungu anamulamulira. Kenaka Yehova anatseka pa khomo.
17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
Chigumula chinagwa pa dziko la pansi kwa masiku makumi anayi. Madzi anayamba kuchuluka ndipo ananyamula chombo chija ndi kuchiyandamitsa pamwamba pa dziko.
18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
Madzi anafika mwamphamvu ndipo anachulukirachulukira pa dziko lapansi moti chombo chinayandama pamwamba pa madziwo.
19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
Madzi a chigumula anabwerabe molimbika motero kuti mapiri ataliatali onse a pa dziko anamizidwa.
20 The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
Madzi anakwera namiza mapiri kwa mamita pafupifupi asanu ndi awiri.
21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
Chamoyo chilichonse choyenda pa dziko lapansi chinafa: mbalame, ziweto, nyama zakuthengo, miyandamiyanda ya zonse zolengedwa za pa dziko lapansi pamodzi ndi anthu.
22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
Chilichonse chamoyo, chokhala pa mtunda chinafa.
23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
Chamoyo chilichonse pa dziko lapansi chinawonongedwa, kuyambira munthu, nyama, zokwawa ndi mbalame. Nowa yekha ndiye anatsala pamodzi ndi onse amene anali naye.
24 The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.
Madziwo anadzaza dziko lonse lapansi kwa masiku 150.
The Great Flood
