Genesis 6
1 And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, naʻe fanauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kinautolu,
2 and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.
Pea mamata ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tangata ʻoku nau hoihoifua; pea naʻa nau fili mei ai ʻae ngaahi uaifi ʻo maʻu kiate kinautolu.
3 And Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man — to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “E ʻikai ʻahiʻahi maʻuaipē ʻa hoku Laumālie mo e tangata, he ko e kakano foki ia: ka ʻe hoko hono ngaahi ʻaho ki he taʻu ʻe teau ma uofulu.”
4 The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them — they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name.
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ai ʻae kakai lalahi ʻi māmani; pea hili ia foki, ʻi he ʻalu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tangata, pea nau fānau kiate kinautolu, naʻe mālohi lahi ʻae kau tangata ko ia, ʻae kau tangata ongoongo ʻoe muʻaki kuonga.
5 And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;
Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lahi ʻae angahala ʻae tangata ʻi māmani, pea kuo kovi maʻuaipē ʻae filioʻi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi mahalo ʻa hono loto.
6 and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself — unto His heart.
Pea naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi kuo ne ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi māmani, pea naʻe mamahi ai ʻa hono finangalo.
7 And Jehovah saith, 'I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “Te u fakaʻauha mei he funga ʻo māmani ʻae tangata ʻaia kuo u ngaohi; ko e tangata, mo e manu, mo e meʻa totolo, mo e fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā; he ʻoku ou fakatomala ʻi heʻeku ngaohi ʻakinautolu.”
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.
Ka naʻe ʻofeina ʻa Noa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
9 These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually.
Ko eni ʻae tala hohoko kia Noa ko e tangata angatonu mo haohaoa ʻa Noa ʻi hono toʻutangata, pea naʻe ʻaʻeva ʻa Noa mo e ʻOtua.
10 And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻe Noa ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti.
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
Naʻe fakalielia foki ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻe fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he fakamālohi.
12 And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.
Pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ki māmani, pea vakai kuo kovi ia; he naʻe fakalieliaʻi ʻe he kakano kotoa pē hono hala ʻi māmani.
13 And God said to Noah, 'An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Noa, “Kuo hoko ki hoku ʻao ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe kakano kotoa pē; he kuo fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he fakamālohi ʻiate kinautolu; pea vakai, te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he māmani.
14 'Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress;
Ngaohi kiate koe hā vaka mei he ʻakau ko e kofa; te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻana ʻi he vaka, pea te ke vali ʻaki ia ʻae pulu ʻi loto mo tuʻa.
15 and this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;
Pea ko eni ʻae anga ʻo hono ngaohi, Ko hono lōloa ʻoe vaka ko e hanga ʻe onongeau, ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe teau pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu.
16 a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side, — lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it.
Te ke ngaohi ha kātupa ʻi he vaka pea te ke fakaʻosi ia ʻi he hanga ʻe ua ki ʻolunga; pea te ke ʻai ʻae matapā ʻoe vaka ʻi hono kaokao; pea te ke ngaohi ʻae fata ʻi lalo, mo hono ua, mo hono tolu, [ki ʻolunga].
17 'And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire.
Pea vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻae lōmaki ʻoe ngaahi vai ki māmani, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakano kotoa pē mei he lalo langi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui; pea ʻe mate ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.
18 'And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee;
Ka te u fokotuʻumaʻu mo koe ʻeku fuakava; pea te ke haʻu ki he vaka, ʻa koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo ho uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo ho ngaahi foha mo koe.
19 and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort] thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they.
Pea te ke ʻomi ki he vaka ʻo tautau toko ua mei he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mo koe; ko e fefine mo e tangata.
20 Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive.
Ko e fanga manupuna ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e fanga manu ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻi hono faʻahinga, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae toko ua ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻui.
21 'And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.'
Pea ke toʻo kiate koe ʻi he meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoku kai, pea te ke tānaki ia kiate koe; pea ko e meʻakai ia kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu.”
22 And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.
Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Noa; ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ko ia naʻa ne fai.
The World is Destroyed by Water
