Kĩambĩrĩria 7
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Toonya thabina thĩinĩ, wee na nyũmba yaku yothe, tondũ nĩnyonete ũrĩ mũthingu rũciaro-inĩ rũrũ.
And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter you and all your family into the ark, for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Na ũtoonye thĩinĩ na nyamũ mũgwanja mũgwanja cia mĩthemba yothe ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ thaahu, o njamba na nga yayo, na igĩrĩ igĩrĩ cia mĩthemba yothe ĩrĩa ĩrĩ thaahu, o njamba na nga yayo,
And of the clean cattle take in to you sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.
3 o na ningĩ ũtoonye na nyoni mũgwanja mũgwanja cia mĩthemba yothe, o njamba na nga yayo, nĩgeetha mĩthemba yacio ĩtũũrio muoyo thĩ yothe.
And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth.
4 Thikũ mũgwanja kuuma rĩu, nĩnguuria mbura, yure gũkũ thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna mũthenya na ũtukũ, na niine ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ muoyo iria niĩ ndombire, ithire thĩ.”
For yet seven days [having passed] I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.
5 Nake Nuhu agĩĩka ũrĩa wothe Mwathani aamwathĩte eeke.
And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.
6 Nuhu aarĩ na mĩaka magana matandatũ rĩrĩa mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ waiyũrire thĩ.
And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.
7 Nake Nuhu na ariũ ake na mũtumia wake na atumia a ariũ ake magĩtoonya thabina morĩre mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ.
And then went in Noe and his sons and his wife, and his sons' wives with him into the ark, because of the water of the flood.
8 Nyamũ igĩrĩ igĩrĩ iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu cia nyoni o na cia ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ,
And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon the earth,
9 njamba na nga-rĩ, igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu.
pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.
10 Na thuutha wa matukũ mũgwanja mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũkĩiyũra thĩ.
And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.
11 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa ikũmi na mũgwanja, mweri wa keerĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Nuhu akinyirie mĩaka magana matandatũ-rĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩguo ithima cia maaĩ ciothe cia kũrĩa kũriku ciatuthũkire, nacio ihingo cia mũiyũro wa igũrũ ikĩhingũrwo.
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.
12 Nayo mbura ĩkiura thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 Mũthenya o ro ũcio nĩguo Nuhu na ariũ ake, Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu, hamwe na mũtumia wake na atumia a ariũ ake atatũ maatoonyire thabina.
On that very day entered Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and the wife of Noe, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark.
14 Nao maarĩ na mĩthemba yothe ya nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o nyamũ kũringana na mũthemba wayo, na mahiũ mothe kũringana na mĩthemba yamo, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na nyoni ciothe kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ mathagu.
And all the wild beasts after their kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every reptile moving itself on the earth after its kind, and every flying bird after its kind,
15 Ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ mĩhũmũ ya muoyo igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina igĩrĩ igĩrĩ.
went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16 Nyamũ iria ciatoonyire thĩinĩ ciarĩ njamba na nga cia mĩthemba yothe ya indo iria irĩ muoyo, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu. Nake Jehova akĩmũhingĩrĩria thĩinĩ.
And they that entered went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded Noe, and the Lord God shut the ark outside of him.
17 Handũ ha matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũiyũro ũcio ũgĩthiĩ na mbere kuongerereka thĩ, na o ũrĩa maaĩ macio maingĩhaga makĩoya thabina ĩyo na igũrũ mũno na ĩkĩreera igũrũ rĩa maaĩ.
And the flood was upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and the water abounded greatly and bore up the ark, and it was lifted on high from off the earth.
18 Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra na makĩongerereka mũno gũkũ thĩ, nayo thabina ĩkĩreera maaĩ igũrũ.
And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.
19 Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra mũno igũrũ wa thĩ, nacio irĩma ciothe iria ndaaya na igũrũ gũkũ mũhuro wa matu guothe ikĩhumbĩrwo nĩmo.
And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.
20 Maaĩ macio maambatire makĩhumbĩra irĩma na makĩria ma buti mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains.
21 Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo na gĩathiiaga gũkũ thĩ gĩgĩkua, nyoni, na mahiũ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ciahunjĩte thĩ, o na andũ othe.
And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth, of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, and every man.
22 Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ thĩ nyũmũ na kĩarĩ na mĩhũmũ ya muoyo maniũrũ-inĩ makĩo gĩgĩkua.
And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died.
23 Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ guothe gĩkĩniinwo biũ; andũ na nyamũ na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ ikĩniinwo ciothe gũkũ thĩ. No Nuhu watigarire hamwe na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake thĩinĩ wa thabina.
And [God] blotted out every offspring which was upon the face of the earth, both man and beast, and reptiles, and birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth, and Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark.
24 Maaĩ macio magĩikara mahumbĩrĩte thĩ matukũ igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩtano.
And the water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days.
