< Mose 1 7 >

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Noa be, “Yi aɖakaʋu la me kple wò ƒometɔwo katã, elabena le anyigbadzinɔlawo katã dome la, wò koe nye ame dzɔdzɔe le nye ŋkume.
And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter you and all your family into the ark, for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 “Kplɔ lãwo hã de eme, atsu kple asi, negbe esiwo metia da ɖi be woaɖu kple esiwo woatsɔ asa vɔe ko. Tsɔ wo dome adre, atsu kple asi,
And of the clean cattle take in to you sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.
3 eye nàgatsɔ xevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe atsu kple asi adre. Ale nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe agate ŋu adzi le tsiɖɔɖɔ la megbe.
And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth.
4 Le kɔsiɖa ɖeka megbe tso egbe sia dzi la, mana tsi nadza ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene, eye matsrɔ̃ nu gbagbe siwo katã mewɔ ɖe anyigba dzi la.”
For yet seven days [having passed] I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.
5 Ale Noa wɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa di tso esi be wòawɔ la.
And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.
6 Noa xɔ ƒe alafa ade esi tsiɖɔɖɔ ɖe anyigba la.
And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.
7 Ege ɖe aɖakaʋu la me kple srɔ̃a, via ŋutsuwo kple wo srɔ̃wo be woasi le tsiɖɔɖɔ la nu.
And then went in Noe and his sons and his wife, and his sons' wives with him into the ark, because of the water of the flood.
8 Lã ɖuɖua kple lã maɖumaɖua ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi eveve, xeviwo eveve kple lã siwo katã tana la,
And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon the earth,
9 atsu kple asi va Noa gbɔ, eye woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me abe ale si Mawu ɖo na Noa ene.
pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.
10 Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, tsi dza ɖe anyigba la dzi.
And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.
11 Le ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiadrelia gbe le Noa ƒe ƒe alafa ade xɔxɔ me la, anyigba ƒe tumetsi gãwo katã ŋɔ, eye dziƒo nu ʋu gbe ma gbe.
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.
12 Tsi de asi dzadza me sesĩe, eye tsi dzidziwo ŋɔ tso tome va anyigba dzi ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 Ke Noa yi aɖakaʋu la me gbe ma gbe kple srɔ̃a kple viawo, Sem, Ham kple Yafet kple wo srɔ̃wo.
On that very day entered Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and the wife of Noe, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark.
14 Lã wɔadã ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi, aƒemelã ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi, lã siwo tana ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi kple xevi siwo dzona ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi kple esiwo medzona o siaa yi kpli wo.
And all the wild beasts after their kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every reptile moving itself on the earth after its kind, and every flying bird after its kind,
15 Nuwɔwɔ sia nuwɔwɔ si me agbegbɔgbɔ le la ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe, atsu kple asi va Noa gbɔ, eye woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me.
went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16 Woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me eveve, atsu kple asi abe ale si Mawu ɖo na wo ene. Tete Yehowa tu ʋɔtru la ɖe wo nu.
And they that entered went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded Noe, and the Lord God shut the ark outside of him.
17 Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ edzi ŋkeke blaene sɔŋ. Exɔ anyigba dzi, eye wòtsɔ aɖakaʋu la do ɖe dzi.
And the flood was upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and the water abounded greatly and bore up the ark, and it was lifted on high from off the earth.
18 Esi tsi la nɔ ɖɔɖɔm ɖe edzi, eye wònɔ aɖakaʋu la dom ɖe dzi ɣe sia ɣi wu tsã la, aɖakaʋu la nɔ dedie le tsi la dzi.
And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.
19 Mlɔeba la, tsi la ɖɔ kɔkɔ gbɔ to kɔkɔwo katã ŋu le lilikpo la te,
And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.
20 eye aɖakaʋu la ƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔ mita blaadre-vɔ-eve, alo wu nenema gɔ̃ hã.
Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains.
21 Nu gbagbe siwo katã nɔ anyigba dzi, xeviwo, aƒemelãwo, gbemelãwo, nu gbagbe siwo katã tana kple amegbetɔƒome blibo la katã tsrɔ̃.
And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth, of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, and every man.
22 Nu sia nu si me agbe nɔ, eye wònɔ anyigba ƒuƒui dzi tsã la tsrɔ̃.
And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died.
23 Anyigbadzinu gbagbewo katã, amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa, nu gbagbe siwo tana kple xeviwo katã ƒe agbe nu tso. Mawu tsrɔ̃ wo katã, negbe Noa kple ame siwo nɔ egbɔ le aɖakaʋu la me kple nu bubu siwo nɔ wo gbɔ le aɖakaʋu la me ko tsi agbe.
And [God] blotted out every offspring which was upon the face of the earth, both man and beast, and reptiles, and birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth, and Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark.
24 Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ anyigba dzi ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃.
And the water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days.
