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 said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee 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,
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his 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.
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of 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, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 Ale Noa wɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa di tso esi be wòawɔ la.
And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him.
6 Noa xɔ ƒe alafa ade esi tsiɖɔɖɔ ɖe anyigba la.
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 Ege ɖe aɖakaʋu la me kple srɔ̃a, via ŋutsuwo kple wo srɔ̃wo be woasi le tsiɖɔɖɔ la nu.
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Lã ɖuɖua kple lã maɖumaɖua ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi eveve, xeviwo eveve kple lã siwo katã tana la,
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 atsu kple asi va Noa gbɔ, eye woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me abe ale si Mawu ɖo na Noa ene.
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, tsi dza ɖe anyigba la dzi.
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were 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 Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows 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.
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, 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, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
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.
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein 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 went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
17 Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ edzi ŋkeke blaene sɔŋ. Exɔ anyigba dzi, eye wòtsɔ aɖakaʋu la do ɖe dzi.
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above 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 waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 Mlɔeba la, tsi la ɖɔ kɔkɔ gbɔ to kɔkɔwo katã ŋu le lilikpo la te,
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 eye aɖakaʋu la ƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔ mita blaadre-vɔ-eve, alo wu nenema gɔ̃ hã.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 Nu gbagbe siwo katã nɔ anyigba dzi, xeviwo, aƒemelãwo, gbemelãwo, nu gbagbe siwo katã tana kple amegbetɔƒome blibo la katã tsrɔ̃.
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 Nu sia nu si me agbe nɔ, eye wònɔ anyigba ƒuƒui dzi tsã la tsrɔ̃.
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in 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 every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ anyigba dzi ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
