< Farawa 6 >
1 Sa’ad da mutane suka fara ƙaruwa a duniya, aka kuma hahhaifi musu’ya’ya mata,
And Noe was five hundred years old, and he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. And it came to pass when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 sai’ya’yan Allah maza suka ga cewa’ya’yan mutane mata suna da bansha’awa, sai suka zaɓi waɗanda suke so, suka aura.
that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose.
3 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce, “Ruhuna ba zai zauna a cikin mutum har abada ba, saboda shi mai mutuwa ne, kwanakinsa za su zama shekaru ɗari da arba’in ne.”
And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men for ever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 Nefilimawa suna nan a duniya a waɗancan kwanaki, da kuma kwanakin da suka bi baya, a sa’ad da’ya’yan Allah suka kwana da’ya’yan mutane mata, suka kuma hahhaifi musu’ya’ya. Ai, su ne jarumawan dā, mutanen da suka shahara.
Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore [children] to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.
5 Ubangiji kuwa ya lura cewa muguntar mutum ta yi yawa a duniya, kuma kowane abin da yake tunani a zuciyarsa mugu ne kawai a kowanne lokaci.
And the Lord God, having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,
6 Ubangiji ya damu da ya yi mutum a duniya, abin ya zafe shi ƙwarai.
then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered [it] deeply.
7 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan kawar da mutum, da dabbobi, da halittu masu rarrafe a ƙasa da kuma tsuntsayen sama waɗanda na halitta, daga doron ƙasa, saboda na damu da na yi su.”
And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.
8 Amma Nuhu ya sami tagomashi a gaban Ubangiji.
But Noe found grace before the Lord God.
9 Ga tarihin Nuhu. Nuhu mutum ne mai adalci, marar abin zargi a cikin mutanen zamaninsa, ya kuma yi tafiya tare da Allah.
And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God.
10 Nuhu yana da’ya’ya maza uku, Shem, Ham da Yafet.
And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.
11 Duniya dai ta lalace sosai a gaban Allah, ta kuma cika da tashin hankali.
But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.
12 Allah ya ga yadda duniya ta lalace, gama dukan mutane a duniya sun lalatar da rayuwarsu.
And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
13 Saboda haka, Allah ya ce wa Nuhu, “Zan kawo ƙarshen dukan mutane, gama saboda su duniya ta cika da tashin hankali. Lalle zan hallaka su da kuma duniya.
And the Lord God said to Noe, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.
14 Saboda haka ka yi wa kanka jirgi da katakon Saifires, ka yi ɗakuna a cikinsa, ka shafe shi da ƙaro ciki da waje.
Make therefore for thyself an ark of square timber; thou shalt make the ark in compartments, and thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 Ga yadda za ka gina shi; jirgin zai kasance mai tsawon ƙafa 45, fāɗinsa ƙafa 75, tsayinsa kuma ƙafa 45.
And thus shalt thou make the ark; three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the breadth, and thirty cubits the height of it.
16 Ka yi masa rufi, ka kuma ba da fili inci 18 tsakanin rufin a kowane gefen jirgin. Ka sa ƙofa a gefen jirgin. Ka yi shi hawa uku, ka yi ƙofa a gefe.
Thou shalt narrow the ark in making it, and in a cubit above thou shalt finish it, and the door of the ark thou shalt make on the side; with lower, second, and third stories thou shalt make it.
17 Ga shi zan aiko da ambaliya ruwa a duniya, in hallaka dukan mai rai da yake a ƙarƙashin sama, kowace halittar da take numfashi a cikinta. Dukan abin da yake a duniya zai hallaka.
And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatsoever things are upon the earth shall die.
18 Amma zan kafa alkawarina da kai, kai kuma za ka shiga jirgin, kai da’ya’yanka maza da matarka da matan’ya’yanka tare da kai.
And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt enter into the ark, and thy sons and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 Za ka shigar da biyu na dukan halittu masu rai, namiji da ta mace a cikin jirgin, domin su rayu tare da kai.
And of all cattle and of all reptiles and of all wild beasts, even of all flesh, thou shalt bring by pairs of all, into the ark, that thou mayest feed them with thyself: male and female they shall be.
20 Biyu na kowane irin tsuntsu, kowace irin dabba da kuma kowace irin halitta mai rarrafe a ƙasa, za su zo wurinka domin a bar su da rai.
Of all winged birds after their kind, and of all cattle after their kind, and of all reptiles creeping upon the earth after their kind, pairs of all shall come in to thee, male and female to be fed with thee.
21 Za ka ɗauki kowane irin abinci wanda za a ci, ka adana don yă zama abincinka da nasu.”
And thou shalt take to thyself of all kinds of food which ye eat, and thou shalt gather them to thyself, and it shall be for thee and them to eat.
22 Nuhu ya yi kome kamar yadda Allah ya umarce shi.
And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.
