Jenèz 6
1 Alò, li te rive ke lè lèzòm te kòmanse miltipliye sou sifas tè a, e yo te fè pitit fi,
And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to 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.
and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.
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 Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man — to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.
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.
The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them — they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name.
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.
And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;
6 Epi SENYÈ a te regrèt ke Li te fè lòm sou latè a, e sa te blese Li nan kè L.
and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself — unto 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.”
And Jehovah saith, 'I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'
8 Men Noé te twouve favè nan zye SENYÈ a.
And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.
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] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually.
10 Noé te vin papa twa fis: Sem, Cham, ak Japhet.
And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Alò tè a te vin konwonpi nan zye Bondye, e latè te vin plen ak vyolans.
And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
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 God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on 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 to Noah, 'An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying 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 for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress;
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 this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;
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 window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side, — lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it.
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, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire.
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 I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives 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 all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort] thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they.
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 fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive.
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 thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.'
22 Konsa Noé te fè l. Selon tout sa ke Bondye te kòmande li, se konsa li te fè l.
And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.
The World is Destroyed by Water
