Jenèz 7
1 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Noé: “Antre nan lach la, ou avèk tout lakay ou, paske se ou sèl mwen te wè ki dwat devan mwen nan jenerasyon sila a.
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 Ou va pran avèk ou sèt nan chak bèt ki pwòp, yon mal avèk yon femèl parèy li. Nan bèt ki pa pwòp yo, yon mal avèk yon femèl parèy li.
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 Anplis, nan zwazo nan syèl la pa sèt, mal avèk femèl, pou kenbe pòtre yo vivan sou tout sifas tè a.
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, apre sèt jou ankò, Mwen va voye lapli sou latè pandan karant jou ak karant nwit. Konsa, Mwen va efase sou fas tè a chak èt vivan ke Mwen te fè.”
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 Noé te fè tout bagay jan ke Bondye te mande l la.
And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.
6 Alò, Noé te gen laj sis-san ane lè delij la te vini sou latè.
And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.
7 Noé avèk fis li yo, avèk madanm li, avèk madanm a fis li yo, avèk li menm te antre nan lach la akoz dlo delij la.
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 Nan bèt ki te pwòp yo, avèk bèt ki pa pwòp yo, zwazo avèk tout sa ki kouri atè yo,
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 tout te antre nan lach la ak Noé, de pa de, mal avèk femèl, jan Bondye te kòmande Noé a.
they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.
10 Li te rive apre sèt jou ke dlo delij la te vini sou latè.
And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on the earth.
11 Nan sis-santyèm ane nan lavi Noé, nan dezyèm mwa, nan di-setyèm jou nan mwa a, nan menm jou a, tout sous nan gran fon an te vin pete, e pòt delij yo nan syèl la te vin louvri.
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 te tonbe sou latè pandan karant jou, ak karant nwit.
and the shower is on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights.
13 O jis nan menm jou sa a, Noé avèk Sem, Cham, avèk Japhet, fis a Noé yo, madanm a Noé, ak twa madanm a fis li yo, te antre nan lach la,
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 yo menm avèk chak bèt selon espès yo, tout bèt domestik selon espès pa yo, tout reptil ki kouri atè selon espès pa yo, ak tout kalite zwazo.
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 Epi yo te antre nan lach la vè Noé, pa de nan tout chè ki te gen souf lavi.
And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
16 Sila ki te antre yo, mal avèk femèl nan tout chè, te antre jan Bondye te kòmande li a; epi SENYÈ a te fèmen lach la dèyè li.
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 Konsa delij la te vini sou latè a pandan karant jou. Dlo a te vin ogmante e te leve lach la jis li rive anwo tè a.
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 a te monte. Li te ogmante anpil sou tè a, e lach la te monte 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 te vin monte plis toujou sou tè a, jis tout mòn toupatou anba syèl la te vin kouvri.
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 te vin monte pou kenz koude anplis, e mòn yo te vin kouvri.
the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;
21 Tout chè ki t ap fè mouvman sou tè a te vin peri, zwazo avèk bèt domestik avèk bèt sovaj, e chak ensèk ki vole ansanm sou latè, 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 sa ki te sou tè sèk la, ki te gen souf lavi nan nen yo te vin mouri.
all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have died.
23 Konsa Li te efase chak bagay ki t ap viv sou fas tè a, soti nan lòm jis rive nan tout bèt, sou sa ki te kouri atè, ak zwazo latè yo. Konsa yo te efase soti sou tè la nèt, e se sèl Noé ki te rete ansanm avèk sila ki te avèk li nan lach la.
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 Dlo a te monte kouvri tout tè a pandan san-senkant jou.
and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
