< 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.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Toonya thabina thĩinĩ, wee na nyũmba yaku yothe, tondũ nĩnyonete ũrĩ mũthingu rũciaro-inĩ rũrũ.
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.
Na ũtoonye thĩinĩ na nyamũ mũgwanja mũgwanja cia mĩthemba yothe ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ thaahu, o njamba na nga yayo, na igĩrĩ igĩrĩ cia mĩthemba yothe ĩrĩa ĩrĩ thaahu, o njamba na nga yayo,
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.
o na ningĩ ũtoonye na nyoni mũgwanja mũgwanja cia mĩthemba yothe, o njamba na nga yayo, nĩgeetha mĩthemba yacio ĩtũũrio muoyo thĩ yothe.
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.”
Thikũ mũgwanja kuuma rĩu, nĩnguuria mbura, yure gũkũ thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna mũthenya na ũtukũ, na niine ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ muoyo iria niĩ ndombire, ithire thĩ.”
5 Noah did everything that the LORD commanded him.
Nake Nuhu agĩĩka ũrĩa wothe Mwathani aamwathĩte eeke.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
Nuhu aarĩ na mĩaka magana matandatũ rĩrĩa mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ waiyũrire thĩ.
7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
Nake Nuhu na ariũ ake na mũtumia wake na atumia a ariũ ake magĩtoonya thabina morĩre mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ.
8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
Nyamũ igĩrĩ igĩrĩ iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu cia nyoni o na cia ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ,
9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
njamba na nga-rĩ, igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu.
10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
Na thuutha wa matukũ mũgwanja mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũkĩiyũra thĩ.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa ikũmi na mũgwanja, mweri wa keerĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Nuhu akinyirie mĩaka magana matandatũ-rĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩguo ithima cia maaĩ ciothe cia kũrĩa kũriku ciatuthũkire, nacio ihingo cia mũiyũro wa igũrũ ikĩhingũrwo.
12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Nayo mbura ĩkiura thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ.
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—
Mũthenya o ro ũcio nĩguo Nuhu na ariũ ake, Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu, hamwe na mũtumia wake na atumia a ariũ ake atatũ maatoonyire thabina.
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.
Nao maarĩ na mĩthemba yothe ya nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o nyamũ kũringana na mũthemba wayo, na mahiũ mothe kũringana na mĩthemba yamo, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na nyoni ciothe kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ mathagu.
15 Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
Ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ mĩhũmũ ya muoyo igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina igĩrĩ igĩrĩ.
16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then the LORD shut him in.
Nyamũ iria ciatoonyire thĩinĩ ciarĩ njamba na nga cia mĩthemba yothe ya indo iria irĩ muoyo, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu. Nake Jehova akĩmũhingĩrĩria thĩinĩ.
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.
Handũ ha matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũiyũro ũcio ũgĩthiĩ na mbere kuongerereka thĩ, na o ũrĩa maaĩ macio maingĩhaga makĩoya thabina ĩyo na igũrũ mũno na ĩkĩreera igũrũ rĩa maaĩ.
18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra na makĩongerereka mũno gũkũ thĩ, nayo thabina ĩkĩreera maaĩ igũrũ.
19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra mũno igũrũ wa thĩ, nacio irĩma ciothe iria ndaaya na igũrũ gũkũ mũhuro wa matu guothe ikĩhumbĩrwo nĩmo.
20 The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
Maaĩ macio maambatire makĩhumbĩra irĩma na makĩria ma buti mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo na gĩathiiaga gũkũ thĩ gĩgĩkua, nyoni, na mahiũ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ciahunjĩte thĩ, o na andũ othe.
22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ thĩ nyũmũ na kĩarĩ na mĩhũmũ ya muoyo maniũrũ-inĩ makĩo gĩgĩkua.
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.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ guothe gĩkĩniinwo biũ; andũ na nyamũ na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ ikĩniinwo ciothe gũkũ thĩ. No Nuhu watigarire hamwe na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake thĩinĩ wa thabina.
24 The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.
Maaĩ macio magĩikara mahumbĩrĩte thĩ matukũ igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩtano.
