< 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.
The LORD said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness 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 shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
3 Anplis, nan zwazo nan syèl la pa sèt, mal avèk femèl, pou kenbe pòtre yo vivan sou tout sifas tè a.
Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface 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.”
In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”
5 Noé te fè tout bagay jan ke Bondye te mande l la.
Noah did everything that the LORD commanded him.
6 Alò, Noé te gen laj sis-san ane lè delij la te vini sou latè.
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came 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.
Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
8 Nan bèt ki te pwòp yo, avèk bèt ki pa pwòp yo, zwazo avèk tout sa ki kouri atè yo,
Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
9 tout te antre nan lach la ak Noé, de pa de, mal avèk femèl, jan Bondye te kòmande Noé a.
went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 Li te rive apre sèt jou ke dlo delij la te vini sou latè.
After the seven days, the floodwaters came 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 Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.
12 Lapli te tonbe sou latè pandan karant jou, ak karant nwit.
It rained on the earth 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,
In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
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 animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 Epi yo te antre nan lach la vè Noé, pa de nan tout chè ki te gen souf lavi.
Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
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.
Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then the LORD shut him in.
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.
The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 Dlo a te monte. Li te ogmante anpil sou tè a, e lach la te monte sou dlo a.
The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
19 Dlo a te vin monte plis toujou sou tè a, jis tout mòn toupatou anba syèl la te vin kouvri.
The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20 Dlo a te vin monte pou kenz koude anplis, e mòn yo te vin kouvri.
The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
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.
All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22 Tout sa ki te sou tè sèk la, ki te gen souf lavi nan nen yo te vin mouri.
All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, 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.
Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
24 Dlo a te monte kouvri tout tè a pandan san-senkant jou.
The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.
