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 God said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness 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 shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his 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 of the clean flying creatures of the sky, seven pairs, a male and a female, and of all the unclean flying creatures, one pair, a male and a female, to preserve their offspring on the surface 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.
In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."
5 Noe fè tout sa Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a.
Noah did everything that God commanded him.
6 Noe te gen sisanzan (600 an) lè inondasyon an te fèt sou latè.
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came 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.
Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because 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,
Clean animals, animals that are not clean, flying creatures, and everything that crawls 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.
went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 Sou sèt jou vre, dlo kouvri tout latè.
It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came 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 Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.
12 Lapli tonbe san rete pandan karant jou karant nwit.
The rain was on the earth 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,
In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;
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 wild animal after its kind, and every tame animal after their kind, every creature that crawls on the earth after its kind, and every flying creature after its kind, everything with wings.
15 Yo tout yo te vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, de grenn nan chak kalite bèt vivan ki sou latè.
They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.
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.
Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and God shut him in.
17 Pandan karant jou, dlo kouvri tout tè a. Dlo yo gonfle, yo fè batiman an pèdi tè.
The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 Dlo yo ranfòse, yo gonfle pi rèd sou tè a jouk batiman an t'ap flote nèt sou dlo a.
The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface 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 rose very high on the earth. And all the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20 Dlo a moute vennsenk pye depase tèt mòn yo.
The waters rose and covered the highest mountains to a depth of more than twenty-six feet.
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 died that moved on the earth, flying creatures, and tame animals, and wild animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth, and all humankind.
22 tout bèt vivan ak tout moun sou latè mouri.
All in whose nostrils breathed the breath of life, of all that was on the dry land, 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.
Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including people, animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
24 Apre sa, dlo a rete anwo tè a pandan sansenkant (150) jou.
The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
The Great Flood
