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 to 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 of all which 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 always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an 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.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, 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 God 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 destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repents 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 a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 Nuhu aarĩ na ariũ atatũ: nĩo Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu.
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Thĩ nayo yarĩ thũku maitho-inĩ ma Jehova na yaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maũndũ ma ũhinya.
The earth also 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 looked on the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way on 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 to 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 you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall 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 the fashion which you shall make it of: The length of the ark shall be 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 window shall you make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above; and the door of the ark shall you set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shall you 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, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18 No nĩngũthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro nawe. Wee nĩũgatoonya thabina, wee mwene na ariũ aku na mũtumia waku, na atumia a ariũ aku.
But with you will I establish my covenant; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
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 shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; 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 fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
21 Nĩũkamaatha mĩthemba yothe ya irio iria irĩĩagwo, ũciige irĩ irio ciaku na ciacio.”
And take you to you of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, 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
