Kĩambĩrĩria 6
1 Rĩrĩa andũ maambĩrĩirie kũingĩha thĩ na magĩciarĩrwo airĩtu-rĩ,
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 ariũ a Ngai makĩona atĩ airĩtu a andũ maarĩ athaka, nao makĩhikia o ũrĩa mũndũ ethuuragĩra.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives, whomsoever they chose.
3 Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Roho wakwa ndegũtũũra agianaga na mũndũ nginya tene, tondũ mũndũ nĩ wa gũkua; matukũ make marĩkoragwo marĩ mĩaka igana na mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.”
And the LORD said: 'My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for that he also is flesh; therefore shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.'
4 Na rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ macio, o na thuutha ũcio, rĩrĩa Anefili matũũraga gũkũ thĩ, nĩrĩo ariũ a Ngai maakomire na airĩtu a andũ na magĩciara ciana nao. Ciana icio nĩcio ciarĩ njamba cia tene na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta.
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
5 Jehova akĩona ũrĩa waganu wa andũ waingĩhĩte gũkũ thĩ, na atĩ merirĩria ma meciiria ma ngoro ciao maarĩ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe.
And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 Jehova akĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa kũũmba mũndũ gũkũ thĩ, na ngoro yake ĩkĩiyũrwo nĩ ruo.
And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũniina andũ, o arĩa niĩ ndombire, mathire kuuma thĩ, andũ na nyamũ, na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ na kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa gũciũmba.”
And the LORD said: 'I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and creeping thing, and fowl of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have made them.'
8 No Nuhu agĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa Nuhu. Nuhu aarĩ mũndũ mũthingu, ũtaarĩ na ũcuuke kũrĩ andũ a hĩndĩ yake, na nĩatwaranaga na Ngai.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was in his generations a man righteous and whole-hearted; Noah walked with God.
10 Nuhu aarĩ na ariũ atatũ: nĩo Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu.
And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Thĩ nayo yarĩ thũku maitho-inĩ ma Jehova na yaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maũndũ ma ũhinya.
And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 Ngai nĩonire ũrĩa thĩ yathũkĩte, nĩgũkorwo andũ othe a thĩ nĩmathũkĩtie mĩthiĩre yao.
And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Nĩnduĩte itua kũniina andũ aya othe, nĩgũkorwo thĩ nĩ ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ maũndũ ma ũhinya nĩ ũndũ wao. Ti-itherũ nĩngũmaniinanĩria hamwe na thĩ.
And God said unto Noah: 'The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, wĩyakĩre thabina ya mĩtĩ ya mĩthithinda; na ũthondeke tũnyũmba thĩinĩ, na ũmĩhake rami thĩinĩ na nja.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; with rooms shalt thou make the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 Na ũkũmĩaka ũũ: Ũraihu wa thabina ũkorwo ũrĩ buti magana mana na mĩrongo ĩtano, na wariĩ wa buti mĩrongo mũgwanja na ithano na buti mĩrongo ĩna na ithano, kũraiha na igũrũ.
And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Ũmĩgite igũrũ, no ũtigie buti ĩmwe na nuthu mwena wa igũrũ wa thingo. Wĩkĩre mũrango mwena-inĩ wa thabina, na ũmĩake ĩrĩ na ngoroba ya thĩ, na ya gatagatĩ, na ya igũrũ.
A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 Nĩngũrehe mũiyũro wa maaĩ gũkũ thĩ wa kũniina kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ, kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩrĩ na mĩhũmũ ya muoyo thĩinĩ wakĩo. Indo ciothe irĩ thĩ nĩikũniinwo.
And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; every thing that is in the earth shall perish.
18 No nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro nawe. Wee nĩũgatoonya thabina, wee mwene na ariũ aku na mũtumia waku, na atumia a ariũ aku.
But I will establish My covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 Ningĩ nĩũkaingĩria ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe thĩinĩ wa thabina, o mũthemba ciũmbe igĩrĩ, wa njamba na wa nga, nĩguo itũũre muoyo, o hamwe nawe.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 O mũthemba wa nyoni, na o mũthemba wa nyamũ ciothe na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, nĩigooka kũrĩ we igĩrĩ igĩrĩ nĩguo itũũre muoyo.
Of the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 Nĩũkamaatha mĩthemba yothe ya irio iria irĩĩagwo, ũciige irĩ irio ciaku na ciacio.”
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.'
22 Nuhu agĩĩka maũndũ mothe o ta ũrĩa Ngai aamwathĩte eeke.
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
