And the LORde sayd vnto Noe: goo in to the arcke both thou and all thy houssold. For the haue I sene rightuous before me in thys generacion.
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 all clene beastes take vnto the. vij. of every kynde the male and hys female And of vnclene beastes a payre the male and hys female:

lykewyse of the byrdes of the ayre vij. of every kynde male and female to save seed vppon all the erth.
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. vij. dayes hence wyll I send rayne vppo the erth. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes and wyll dystroy all maner of thynges that I haue made from of the face of the erth.
5 Ale Noa wɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa di tso esi be wòawɔ la.
And Noe dyd acordynge to all yt the lorde comaunded hym:
6 Noa xɔ ƒe alafa ade esi tsiɖɔɖɔ ɖe anyigba la.
and Noe was. vi. hundred yere olde when the floud of water came vppon the erth:
7 Ege ɖe aɖakaʋu la me kple srɔ̃a, via ŋutsuwo kple wo srɔ̃wo be woasi le tsiɖɔɖɔ la nu.
and Noe went and his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyves wyth hym in to the arke from the waters of the floud.
8 Lã ɖuɖua kple lã maɖumaɖua ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi eveve, xeviwo eveve kple lã siwo katã tana la,
And of clene beastes and of beastes that ware vnclene and of byrdes and of all that crepeth vppo the erth
9 atsu kple asi va Noa gbɔ, eye woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me abe ale si Mawu ɖo na Noa ene.
came in by cooples of every kynde vnto Noe in to the arke: a male and a female: even as God commaunded Noe.
10 Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, tsi dza ɖe anyigba la dzi.
And the seventh daye the waters of the floud came vppon the erth.
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. vi. hundred yere of Noes lyfe in the secode moneth in the. xvij daye of the moneth yt same daye were all the founteynes of the grete depe broken vp and the wyndowes of heave were opened
12 Tsi de asi dzadza me sesĩe, eye tsi dzidziwo ŋɔ tso tome va anyigba dzi ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene.
ad there fell a rayne vpon the erth. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes.
13 Ke Noa yi aɖakaʋu la me gbe ma gbe kple srɔ̃a kple viawo, Sem, Ham kple Yafet kple wo srɔ̃wo.
And the selfe same daye went Noe Sem Ham and Iapheth Noes sonnes and Noes wyfe and the. iij. wyues of his sonnes wyth them in to the arke:
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.
both they and all maner of beastes in their kide and all maner of catell in their kynde and all maner of wormes that crepe vppon the erth in their kynde and all maner of byrdes in there kynde. and all maner off foules what soever had feders.
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 came vnto Noe in to the arke by cooples of all flesh yt had breth of lyfe in it.
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 came came male ad female of every flesh acordige as God comaunded hym: and ye LORde shytt the dore vppo him
17 Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ edzi ŋkeke blaene sɔŋ. Exɔ anyigba dzi, eye wòtsɔ aɖakaʋu la do ɖe dzi.
And the floud came. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes vppon the erth and the water increased and bare vp the arcke ad it was lifte vp from of the erth
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 prevayled and increased exceadingly vppon the erth: and the arke went vppo he toppe of the waters.
19 Mlɔeba la, tsi la ɖɔ kɔkɔ gbɔ to kɔkɔwo katã ŋu le lilikpo la te,
And the waters prevayled excedingly above mesure vppo the erth so that all the hye hylles which are vnder all the partes of heaven were covered:
20 eye aɖakaʋu la ƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔ mita blaadre-vɔ-eve, alo wu nenema gɔ̃ hã.
eve. xv. cubytes hye prevayled the waters so that the hylles 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 fleshe that moved on the erth bothe birdes catell and beastes perisshed with al that crepte on the erth and all men:
22 Nu sia nu si me agbe nɔ, eye wònɔ anyigba ƒuƒui dzi tsã la tsrɔ̃.
so that all that had the breth of liffe in the nostrels of it thorow out all that was on drye lond dyed.
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.
Thus was destroyed all that was vppo the erth both man beastes wormes and foules of the ayre so that they were destroyed from the erth: save Noe was reserved only and they that were wyth hym in the arke.
24 Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ anyigba dzi ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃.
And the waters prevayled vppon the erth an hundred and fyftye dayes.
