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.
The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of 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,
Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.
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.
In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout 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.”
In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
5 Ale Noa wɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa di tso esi be wòawɔ la.
Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
6 Noa xɔ ƒe alafa ade esi tsiɖɔɖɔ ɖe anyigba la.
Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
7 Ege ɖe aɖakaʋu la me kple srɔ̃a, via ŋutsuwo kple wo srɔ̃wo be woasi le tsiɖɔɖɔ la nu.
Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.
8 Lã ɖuɖua kple lã maɖumaɖua ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi eveve, xeviwo eveve kple lã siwo katã tana la,
Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
9 atsu kple asi va Noa gbɔ, eye woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me abe ale si Mawu ɖo na Noa ene.
went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
10 Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, tsi dza ɖe anyigba la dzi.
After seven days the floodwaters swept over 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.
Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
12 Tsi de asi dzadza me sesĩe, eye tsi dzidziwo ŋɔ tso tome va anyigba dzi ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene.
Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
13 Ke Noa yi aɖakaʋu la me gbe ma gbe kple srɔ̃a kple viawo, Sem, Ham kple Yafet kple wo srɔ̃wo.
That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went 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.
They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
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.
They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
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.
A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
17 Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ edzi ŋkeke blaene sɔŋ. Exɔ anyigba dzi, eye wòtsɔ aɖakaʋu la do ɖe dzi.
The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from 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.
The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
19 Mlɔeba la, tsi la ɖɔ kɔkɔ gbɔ to kɔkɔwo katã ŋu le lilikpo la te,
Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
20 eye aɖakaʋu la ƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔ mita blaadre-vɔ-eve, alo wu nenema gɔ̃ hã.
The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
21 Nu gbagbe siwo katã nɔ anyigba dzi, xeviwo, aƒemelãwo, gbemelãwo, nu gbagbe siwo katã tana kple amegbetɔƒome blibo la katã tsrɔ̃.
Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
22 Nu sia nu si me agbe nɔ, eye wònɔ anyigba ƒuƒui dzi tsã la tsrɔ̃.
Everything on land that breathed, 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.
The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.
24 Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ anyigba dzi ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃.
The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
The Great Flood
