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 said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy household into the ark; for thee 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,
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven pairs of each, the male and his female; and of beasts that are not clean two, the male and his 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.
Also of the fowls of the heaven, seven pairs of each, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of 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 after only seven days more, I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights: and I will blot out every living substance that I have made from off the face of the earth.
5 Nake Nuhu agĩĩka ũrĩa wothe Mwathani aamwathĩte eeke.
And Noah did all just as the Lord had commanded him.
6 Nuhu aarĩ na mĩaka magana matandatũ rĩrĩa mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ waiyũrire thĩ.
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters 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 Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Nyamũ igĩrĩ igĩrĩ iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu cia nyoni o na cia ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ,
Of the clean beasts, and of the beasts that are not clean, and of the fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 njamba na nga-rĩ, igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu.
One pair of each went in unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 Na thuutha wa matukũ mũgwanja mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũkĩiyũra thĩ.
And it came to pass, after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were 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 Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this same day, were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 Nayo mbura ĩkiura thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ.
And the rain fell 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 self-same day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, 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.
They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird, every thing that hath wings.
15 Ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ mĩhũmũ ya muoyo igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina igĩrĩ igĩrĩ.
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, one pair of each, of all flesh, wherein 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 went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and then the Lord shut him in.
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 forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra na makĩongerereka mũno gũkũ thĩ, nayo thabina ĩkĩreera maaĩ igũrũ.
And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated along upon the face of the waters.
19 Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra mũno igũrũ wa thĩ, nacio irĩma ciothe iria ndaaya na igũrũ gũkũ mũhuro wa matu guothe ikĩhumbĩrwo nĩmo.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that are under the whole heavens were covered.
20 Maaĩ macio maambatire makĩhumbĩra irĩma na makĩria ma buti mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
Fifteen cubits above them did the waters prevail; and the mountains were [thus] covered.
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 all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man.
22 Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ thĩ nyũmũ na kĩarĩ na mĩhũmũ ya muoyo maniũrũ-inĩ makĩo gĩgĩkua.
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that were 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 it swept off every living substance which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowls of the heaven; and they were swept from the earth; and Noah only was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
24 Maaĩ macio magĩikara mahumbĩrĩte thĩ matukũ igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩtano.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
