Jenèz 6
1 Alò, li te rive ke lè lèzòm te kòmanse miltipliye sou sifas tè a, e yo te fè pitit fi,
So when men began to be multiplied vpon the earth, and there were daughters borne vnto them,
2 ke fis Bondye yo te wè ke fi lezòm yo te bèl. Konsa, yo te pran kòm madanm pou yo menm, nenpòt ke yo te chwazi.
Then the sonnes of God sawe the daughters of men that they were faire, and they tooke them wiues of all that they liked.
3 Alò SENYÈ a te di: “Lespri Mwen p ap lite avèk lòm pou janmè, paske li menm osi se chè. Konsa, jou li yo va san-ven-ane.”
Therefore the Lord saide, My Spirit shall not alway striue with man, because he is but flesh, and his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeeres.
4 Jeyan yo te sou latè nan jou sa yo, e menm aprè, lè fis Bondye yo te antre nan pitit fi a lòm yo, e te fè pitit avèk yo. Sila yo se te lòm pwisan de tan ansyen yo, lòm gran repitasyon yo.
There were gyants in the earth in those dayes: yea, and after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of men, and they had borne them children, these were mightie men, which in olde time were men of renoume.
5 Alò SENYÈ a te wè ke mechanste lòm te gran sou latè, epi ke chak entansyon ak panse nan kè li te toujou vè lemal.
When the Lord sawe that the wickednesse of man was great in the earth, and all the imaginations of the thoughtes of his heart were onely euill continually,
6 Epi SENYÈ a te regrèt ke Li te fè lòm sou latè a, e sa te blese Li nan kè L.
Then it repented ye Lord, that he had made man in the earth, and he was sorie in his heart.
7 SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen va efase lòm ke mwen te kreye sou fas tè a, soti nan lòm jis nan tout bèt yo, ak a zwazo anlè yo. Paske mwen regrèt ke m te fè yo.”
Therefore ye Lord said, I will destroy from the earth the man, whom I haue created, from man to beast, to the creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: for I repent that I haue made them.
8 Men Noé te twouve favè nan zye SENYÈ a.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 Sa yo se achiv jenerasyon Noé yo. Noé se te yon moun ak ladwati, san fot nan tan pa li a. Noé te mache avèk Bondye.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a iust and vpright man in his time: and Noah walked with God.
10 Noé te vin papa twa fis: Sem, Cham, ak Japhet.
And Noah begate three sonnes, Shem, Ham and Iapheth.
11 Alò tè a te vin konwonpi nan zye Bondye, e latè te vin plen ak vyolans.
The earth also was corrupt before God: for the earth was filled with crueltie.
12 Bondye te gade sou latè, e gade byen, li te vin konwonpi; paske tout chè te vin konwonpi sou tè a nan jan yo te mache.
Then God looked vpon the earth, and beholde, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupt his way vpon the earth.
13 Alò, Bondye te di a Noé: “Lafen tout chè gen tan parèt devan M; paske latè vin ranpli avèk vyolans akoz yo menm. Gade byen, mwen prè pou detwi yo ansanm ak latè.
And God said vnto Noah, An ende of all flesh is come before me: for the earth is filled with crueltie through them: and beholde, I wil destroy them with the earth.
14 Fè pou kont ou yon lach avèk bwa gofè. Ou va fè l avèk chanm, e kouvri li anndan kon deyò avèk kòl rezin.
Make thee an Arke of pine trees: thou shalt make cabines in the Arke, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 Se konsa ke ou va fè l: longè lach la va twa san koude (18 pous se yon koude), lajè li va senkant koude, e wotè li va trant koude.
And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the Arke shalbe three hundreth cubites, the breadth of it fiftie cubites, and the height of it thirtie cubites.
16 Ou va fè yon fenèt pou lach la, fè l rive yon koude mwens ke wotè li. Konsa, plase pòt lach la rive sou de kote li yo. Fè li ak pi ba, dezyèm, avèk twazyèm etaj.
A windowe shalt thou make in the Arke, and in a cubite shalt thou finish it aboue, and the doore of the Arke shalt thou set in the side thereof: thou shalt make it with the lowe, seconde and third roume.
17 “Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen ap mennen delij dlo sou latè pou detwi tout chè ki gen souf lavi ladann, depi anba syèl la. Tout bagay ki sou latè va peri.
And I, beholde, I will bring a flood of waters vpon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life vnder the heauen: all that is in the earth shall perish.
18 “Men Mwen va etabli akò Mwen avèk ou. Konsa, ou va antre nan lach la—ou menm avèk fis ou yo, avèk madanm ou yo, madanm a fis ou yo ansanm avèk ou.
But with thee will I establish my couenant, and thou shalt goe into the Arke, thou, and thy sonnes, and thy wife, and thy sonnes wiues with thee.
19 “Epi soti nan tout chè de tout kalite bèt k ap viv, ou va pote de nan chak espès pou antre nan lach la, pou kenbe yo vivan ak nou. Konsa, yo va mal avèk femèl.
And of euery liuing thing, of all flesh two of euery sort shalt thou cause to come into the Arke, to keepe them aliue with thee: they shalbe male and female.
20 “Nan zwazo yo selon espès pa yo, nan bèt yo selon espès pa yo, chak sa ki kouri atè reptil selon espès pa l. De nan chak espès va vin kote ou, pou ou ka kenbe yo toujou vivan.
Of the foules, after their kinde, and of the cattell after their kind, of euery creeping thing of the earth after his kinde, two of euery sort shall come vnto thee, that thou mayest keepe them aliue.
21 Pou ou menm, pran pou pwòp tèt ou kèk nan tout bagay ki kab manje, e rasanble yo pou ou menm. Yo va sèvi pou ou kòm manje pou ou, ak pou yo.”
And take thou with thee of all meate that is eaten: and thou shalt gather it to thee, that it may be meate for thee and for them.
22 Konsa Noé te fè l. Selon tout sa ke Bondye te kòmande li, se konsa li te fè l.
Noah therefore did according vnto all, that God commanded him: euen so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
