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.
Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that out of everyone who is now living, you alone always act righteously. So you and all your family go into the boat.
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.
Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take a male and a female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
3 Anplis, nan zwazo nan syèl la pa sèt, mal avèk femèl, pou kenbe pòtre yo vivan sou tout sifas tè a.
Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
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.”
Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for 40 days and nights. By doing that, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on the earth.”
5 Noé te fè tout bagay jan ke Bondye te mande l la.
Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
6 Alò, Noé te gen laj sis-san ane lè delij la te vini sou latè.
Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered 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.
Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
8 Nan bèt ki te pwòp yo, avèk bèt ki pa pwòp yo, zwazo avèk tout sa ki kouri atè yo,
Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
9 tout te antre nan lach la ak Noé, de pa de, mal avèk femèl, jan Bondye te kòmande Noé a.
males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
10 Li te rive apre sèt jou ke dlo delij la te vini sou latè.
Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover 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.
When Noah was 600 years old, (on the 17th day of the second month [of that year/late in October]), all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst forth, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam [MET] in the sky burst open.
12 Lapli te tonbe sou latè pandan karant jou, ak karant nwit.
Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and 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 the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives.
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 had already put in the boat some of every kind of wild animal and every kind of livestock and every kind of bird and every other creature that has wings.
15 Epi yo te antre nan lach la vè Noé, pa de nan tout chè ki te gen souf lavi.
Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
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.
There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
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.
It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
18 Dlo a te monte. Li te ogmante anpil sou tè a, e lach la te monte sou dlo a.
As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
19 Dlo a te vin monte plis toujou sou tè a, jis tout mòn toupatou anba syèl la te vin kouvri.
The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
20 Dlo a te vin monte pou kenz koude anplis, e mòn yo te vin kouvri.
Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
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.
As a result, every living creature on the surface of the earth died. That included birds and livestock and wild animals and other creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the people.
22 Tout sa ki te sou tè sèk la, ki te gen souf lavi nan nen yo te vin mouri.
On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) 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.
God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
24 Dlo a te monte kouvri tout tè a pandan san-senkant jou.
The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
The Great Flood
