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 YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before Me in 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.
you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its 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.
also, seven pairs from [each] bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the 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 after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”
5 Noe fè tout sa Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a.
And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.
6 Noe te gen sisanzan (600 an) lè inondasyon an te fèt sou latè.
And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on 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 goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters of the 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,
from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground,
9 yo tout yo vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, de pa de, mal ak fenmèl, jan Bondye te bay Noe lòd la.
they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.
10 Sou sèt jou vre, dlo kouvri tout latè.
And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on 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, on this day all [the] fountains of the great deep have been broken up, and the network of the heavens has been opened,
12 Lapli tonbe san rete pandan karant jou karant nwit.
and the shower is on 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 this very same day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into 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 living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind (every bird, every wing).
15 Yo tout yo te vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, de grenn nan chak kalite bèt vivan ki sou latè.
And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
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 they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes [it] for him.
17 Pandan karant jou, dlo kouvri tout tè a. Dlo yo gonfle, yo fè batiman an pèdi tè.
And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;
18 Dlo yo ranfòse, yo gonfle pi rèd sou tè a jouk batiman an t'ap flote nèt sou dlo a.
and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of 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 have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which [are] under the whole heavens;
20 Dlo a moute vennsenk pye depase tèt mòn yo.
the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;
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 expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;
22 tout bèt vivan ak tout moun sou latè mouri.
all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have 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 all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the Ark;
24 Apre sa, dlo a rete anwo tè a pandan sansenkant (150) jou.
and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
