Jenèz 7
1 Seyè a di Noe: Antre nan gwo batiman an, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou, paske, nan tout moun k'ap viv koulye la a, se ou menm sèl mwen wè k'ap mache dwat devan mwen.
And the Lord said to him: “Enter the ark, you and all your house. For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation.
2 Nan tout bèt ki bon pou moun manje, w'a pran sèt mal ak sèt fenmèl nan chak kalite. Nan tout bèt ki pa bon pou moun manje, w'a pran yon mal ak yon fenmèl nan chak kalite.
From all the clean animals, take seven and seven, the male and the female. Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two, the male and the female.
3 Konsa tou, pou zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la, w'a pran sèt mal ak sèt fenmèl nan chak kalite, pou ras la pa disparèt sou latè.
But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven, the male and the female, so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.
4 Paske, nan sèt jou ankò, m'ap fè yon sèl lapli tonbe sou latè pandan karant jou karant nwit. M'ap disparèt tout moun ak tout bèt mwen te fè mete sou latè.
For from that point, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will wipe away every substance that I have made, from the surface of the earth.”
5 Noe fè tout sa Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a.
Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him.
6 Noe te gen sisanzan (600 an) lè inondasyon an te fèt sou latè.
And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
7 Li antre nan batiman an, li menm, pitit gason li yo, madanm li ansanm ak madanm pitit li yo pou yo te ka chape anba inondasyon an.
And Noah entered into the ark, and his sons, his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, because of the waters of the great flood.
8 tout kalite bèt, kit sa ki bon pou moun manje, kit sa ki pa bon pou moun manje, tout zwazo, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant,
And from the animals both clean and unclean, and from the birds, and from everything that moves upon the earth,
9 yo tout yo vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, de pa de, mal ak fenmèl, jan Bondye te bay Noe lòd la.
two by two they were brought into the ark to Noah, male and female, just as the Lord had instructed Noah.
10 Sou sèt jou vre, dlo kouvri tout latè.
And when seven days had passed, the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
11 Jou ki fè Noe sisanzan (600 an), yon mwa, disèt jou, tout sous nan fon lanmè a pete. Syèl la menm louvri, li konmanse vide dlo sou tè a.
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great abyss were released, and the floodgates of heaven were opened.
12 Lapli tonbe san rete pandan karant jou karant nwit.
And rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13 Menm jou sa a, Noe, madanm li, pitit gason l' yo, Sèm, Kam ak Jafè, ansanm ak madanm yo antre nan batiman an,
On the very same day, Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark.
14 ansanm ak tout kalite bèt domestik, tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout kalite zwazo, tout kalite ti zwazo, tout kalite bèt ki gen zèl.
They and every animal according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and everything that moves upon the earth in their kind, and every flying thing according to its kind, all the birds and all that can fly,
15 Yo tout yo te vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, de grenn nan chak kalite bèt vivan ki sou latè.
entered the ark to Noah, two by two out of all that is flesh, in which there was the breath of life.
16 Se konsa, yon mal ak yon fenmèl nan chak kalite bèt vivan antre nan batiman an, jan Bondye te bay lòd la. Epi Bondye fèmen pòt la dèyè Noe.
And those that entered went in male and female, from all that is flesh, just as God had instructed him. And then the Lord closed him in from the outside.
17 Pandan karant jou, dlo kouvri tout tè a. Dlo yo gonfle, yo fè batiman an pèdi tè.
And the great flood occurred for forty days upon the earth. And the waters were increased, and they lifted the ark high above the land.
18 Dlo yo ranfòse, yo gonfle pi rèd sou tè a jouk batiman an t'ap flote nèt sou dlo a.
For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters.
19 Dlo a moute pi rèd toujou anwo tè a, li kouvri tèt tout gwo mòn ki anba syèl la.
And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth. And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Dlo a moute vennsenk pye depase tèt mòn yo.
The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
21 Lè sa a, tout bèt sou latè mouri: zwazo, bèt domestik, zannimo, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant yo, ansanm ak tout moun.
And all flesh was consumed which moved upon the earth: flying things, animals, wild beasts, and all moving things that crawl upon the ground. And all men,
22 tout bèt vivan ak tout moun sou latè mouri.
and everything in which there is the breath of life on earth, died.
23 Se konsa, Seyè a detwi tout bèt, tout sa ki te sou latè, depi ou tande se moun jouk zannimo domestik, bèt ki trennen sou vant ak zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la. Yo tout yo disparèt sou latè. Sèl moun ki te rete se te Noe avèk lòt moun ki te nan batiman an ansanm ak li yo.
And he wiped away all substance that was upon the earth, from man to animal, the crawling things just as much as the flying things of the air. And they were wiped away from the earth. But only Noah remained, and those who were with him in the ark.
24 Apre sa, dlo a rete anwo tè a pandan sansenkant (150) jou.
And the waters possessed the earth for one hundred and fifty days.
