Mose 1 8
1 Mawu meŋlɔ Noa kple lã siwo katã nɔ aɖakaʋu la me be o. Ena ya aɖe ƒo to tsi la dzi, eye tsiɖɔɖɔ la de asi miemie me,
UNkulunkulu wasemkhumbula uNowa, lakho konke okuphilayo, laso sonke isifuyo, esasilaye emkhunjini. UNkulunkulu wavunguzisa umoya phezu komhlaba, lamanzi etsha.
2 elabena tsi si ŋɔ tso tome la nu tso, eye tsidzadza la ke.
Kwasekumiswa imithombo yokujula lamasango empophoma zamazulu, lezulu elivela emazulwini lanqandwa.
3 Tsi la de asi miemie me vivivi le anyigba dzi. Le ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃lia ƒe nuwuwu la, tsi la mie keŋ,
Lamanzi etsha esuka emhlabeni, ehamba ebuyela; amanzi asencipha ekupheleni kwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu.
4 eye le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiadrelia gbe la, aɖakaʋu la va tɔ ɖe Ararat toawo tame.
Umkhumbi wasuhlala ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngosuku lwetshumi lesikhombisa lwenyanga, phezu kwezintaba zeArarathi.
5 Le ɣleti ewolia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ gbe, esime tsiɖɔɖɔ la ganɔ miemiem ɖe edzi kokoko la, to bubuwo hã tame de asi dzedze me.
Lamanzi aya esetsha kwaze kwaba senyangeni yetshumi; ngeyetshumi ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga kwabonakala ingqonga zezintaba.
6 Le ŋkeke blaene bubu megbe la, Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la ƒe fesre ɖeka,
Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane, uNowa wasevula iwindi lomkhumbi ayelenzile,
7 eye wòɖe asi le akpaviã ɖeka ŋu. Akpaviã la dzo tso afii yi afi mɛ va se ɖe esime anyigba ƒu.
wasethuma iwabayi, lazulazula njalo, aze atsha amanzi emhlabeni.
8 Noa ɖo ahɔnɛ aɖe ɖa be ate ŋu akpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui mahã.
Wasethuma ijuba lisuka kuye, ukubona ukuthi amanzi asemalutshwana yini ebusweni bomhlaba;
9 Ke ahɔnɛ la mekpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui aɖeke, afi si wòadze ɖo o, ale wòtrɔ gbɔ, elabena tsi ganɔ anyigba dzi ko. Ale Noa do asi ɖa, eye wòlé ahɔnɛ la gade aɖakaʋu la me.
kodwa ijuba kalitholanga indawo yokuphumula kwengaphansi yonyawo lwalo, ngakho labuyela kuye emkhunjini, ngoba amanzi ayekhona ebusweni bomhlaba wonke. Waseselula isandla sakhe, walithatha, walingenisa kuye emkhunjini.
10 Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, Noa gaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu.
Waselinda futhi ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; wasephinda elithuma ijuba lisuka emkhunjini.
11 Azɔ la, ahɔnɛ la trɔ gbɔ le fiẽ me, eye wòlé amitiŋgba ɖe nu. Ale Noa dze sii be esusɔ vie tsi la namie keŋkeŋ.
Ijuba laselibuya kuye ngesikhathi santambama, khangela-ke, ihlamvu lomhlwathi elisanda ukuquntwa lalisemlonyeni walo; ngakho uNowa wasesazi ukuthi amanzi asemalutshwana phezu komhlaba.
12 Egaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu le kɔsiɖa ɖeka megbe, eye ahɔnɛ la megatrɔ gbɔ o.
Waselinda futhi ezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa; waselithuma ijuba; kalabe lisabuyela kuye futhi.
13 Ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ va yi. Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la, eye wòkpɔ be tsi la mie keŋkeŋ azɔ.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha lanye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, amanzi atsha emhlabeni. UNowa wasesusa isifulelo somkhumbi, wabona, khangela-ke, ubuso bomhlaba babomile.
14 Kɔsiɖa enyi gava yi. Anyigba ƒu azɔ mlɔeba.
Njalo ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa lwenyanga, umhlaba wawusuwomile.
15 Tete Mawu gblɔ na Noa be,
UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kuNowa, esithi:
16 “Wò kple srɔ̃wò kple viwò ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃wo mido le aɖakaʋu la me.
Phuma emkhunjini, wena lomkakho lamadodana akho labafazi bamadodana akho kanye lawe.
17 Ɖe nu gbagbe bubu ɖe sia ɖe si le gbɔwò: xeviawo, lãawo kple nu gbagbe siwo tana la katã do go le aɖakaʋu la me, ale be woagate ŋu adzi asɔ gbɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.”
Konke okuphilayo okulawe, kuyo yonke inyama, eyenyoni leyesifuyo leyakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela emhlabeni, phuma lakho; ukuze kuzale kwande emhlabeni, kuzale, kwande phezu komhlaba.
18 Ale Noa do go kple srɔ̃a kple via ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃awo.
UNowa wasephuma, lamadodana akhe, lomkakhe, labafazi bamadodana akhe kanye laye.
19 Lãawo katã kple nu gbagbe siwo tana kple xevi ɖe sia ɖe kple nu sia nu si ʋãna le anyigba dzi la do go tso aɖakaʋu la me ɖe wo nɔewo yome hamehame.
Yonke inyamazana, konke okuhuquzelayo, layo yonke inyoni, konke okuhamba emhlabeni, ngenhlobo zakho, kwaphuma emkhunjini.
20 Esia megbe la, Noa ɖi vɔsamlekpui, eye wòsa vɔ le edzi na Yehowa kple lã kple xevi siwo dzi Yehowa da asi ɖo hena vɔsasa la dometɔ aɖewo.
UNowa waseyakhela iNkosi ilathi; wathatha kuso sonke isifuyo esihlambulukileyo, lakuyo yonke inyoni ehlambulukileyo, wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwelathi.
21 Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le vɔsa la ŋu, eye wògblɔ na eɖokui be, “Nyemagaƒo fi ade anyigba o, eye nyemagatsrɔ̃ nu gbagbewo katã le edzi azɔ o, togbɔ be amegbetɔ ƒe dzɔdzɔme henɛ dea nu vɔ̃ me tso keke eƒe ɖevime ke, eye wòwɔa nu vɔ̃wo tsyo ƒomevi gɔ̃ hã.
INkosi yasisizwa uqhatshi olumnandi; iNkosi yasisithi enhliziyweni yayo: Kangisayikuphinda ngiqalekise umhlaba ngenxa yomuntu, ngoba ukuceba kwenhliziyo yomuntu kubi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe; futhi kangisayikuphinda ngitshaye konke okuphilayo njengalokhu ngenzile.
22 Zi ale si anyigba aganɔ anyi ko la, nuƒãɣi kple nuŋeɣi, vuvɔŋɔli kple fifiawɔɣi, pepime kple dzomeŋɔli, ŋkeke kple zã aganɔ anyi kokoko.”
Ngazo zonke izinsuku zomhlaba, ukuhlanyela lokuvuna, lamakhaza lokukhudumala, lehlobo lobusika, lemini lobusuku, kakuyikuphela.
