< Jenèz 6 >

1 Alò, li te rive ke lè lèzòm te kòmanse miltipliye sou sifas tè a, e yo te fè pitit fi,
And whanne men bigunnen to be multiplied on erthe, and hadden gendrid douytris,
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.
the sones of God seiyen the douytris of men that thei weren faire, and token wyues to hem of alle whiche thei hadden chose.
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.”
And God seide, My spirit schal not dwelle in man with outen ende, for he is fleisch; and the daies of hym schulen be an hundrid and twenti yeer.
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.
Sotheli giauntis weren on erthe in tho daies, forsothe aftir that the sones of God entriden to the douytris of men, and tho douytris gendriden; these weren myyti of the world and famouse men.
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.
Sotheli God seiy that myche malice of men was in erthe, and that al the thouyt of herte was ententif to yuel in al tyme,
6 Epi SENYÈ a te regrèt ke Li te fè lòm sou latè a, e sa te blese Li nan kè L.
and repentide him that he hadde maad man in erthe; and God was war bifore ayens tyme to comyng, and was touchid with sorewe of herte with ynne;
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.”
and seide, Y schal do awei man, whom Y made of nouyt, fro the face of the erthe, fro man til to lyuynge thingis, fro crepynge beeste til to the briddis of heuene; for it repentith me that Y made hem.
8 Men Noé te twouve favè nan zye SENYÈ a.
Forsothe Noe foond grace bifore 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 ben the generaciouns of Noe. Noe was a iust man and perfit in hise generaciouns; Noe yede with God,
10 Noé te vin papa twa fis: Sem, Cham, ak Japhet.
and gendride thre sones, Sem, Cam, and Jafeth.
11 Alò tè a te vin konwonpi nan zye Bondye, e latè te vin plen ak vyolans.
Forsothe the erthe was corrupt bifore God, and was fillid with wickidnes.
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.
And whanne God seiy, that the erthe was corrupt, for ech fleisch ether man hadde corrupt his weie on erthe,
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.
he seide to Noe, The ende of al fleisch is comen bifore me; the erthe is fillid with wickidnesse of the face of hem, and Y schal distrye hem with the erthe.
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 thou to thee a schip of trees hewun and planed; thou schalt make dwellynge placis in the schip, and thou schalt anoynte it with pitche with ynne and with outforth.
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 so thou schalt make it. The lengthe of the schip schal be of thre hundrid cubitis, the brede schal be of fifti cubitis, and the hiynesse therof schal be of thretti cubitis.
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.
Thou schalt make a wyndow in the schip, and thou schalt ende the hiynesse therof in a cubite; sotheli thou schalt sette the dore of the schip in the side binethe; thou shalt make soleris and placis of thre chaumbris in the schip.
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.
Lo! Y schal brynge `watris of diluuye ether greet flood on erthe, and Y schal sle ech fleisch in which is the spirit of lijf vndir heuene, and alle thingis that ben in erthe, schulen be wastid.
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.
And Y schal sette my couenaunt of pees with thee; and thou schalt entre in to the schip, and thy sones, and thi wijf, and the wiues of thi sones schulen entre 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 alle lyuynge beestis of al fleisch thou schalt brynge in to the schip tweyne and tweyne, of male kynde and female, that thei lyue with thee;
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 briddis bi her kynde, and of werk beestis in her kynde, and of ech crepynge beeste of erthe, by her kynde; tweyne and tweyne of alle schulen entre with thee, that thei moun lyue.
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.”
Therfore thou schalt take with thee of alle metis that moun be etun, and thou schalt bere to gidre at thee, and tho schulen be as well to thee as to the beestis in to mete.
22 Konsa Noé te fè l. Selon tout sa ke Bondye te kòmande li, se konsa li te fè l.
Therfor Noe dide alle thingis whiche God comaundide to hym.
