1 Sa’ad da mutane suka fara ƙaruwa a duniya, aka kuma hahhaifi musu’ya’ya mata,
And it came to pass when men had begun to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters had been 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 saw the daughters of men! that they were, fair, —so they took to themselves wives of whomsoever 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 Yahweh said—My spirit shall not rule in man to times age—abiding, for that, he also, is flesh, —Yet his days shall be a 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.
The giants, were in the earth in those days, and also, after that, when the sons of God began to go in unto the daughters of men, and sons were born to them, the same, were the heroes that were from age-past times 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.
Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;
6 Ubangiji ya damu da ya yi mutum a duniya, abin ya zafe shi ƙwarai.
and it grieved Yahweh, that he had made man in the earth, —and he took sorrow unto his heart.
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 Yahweh said—I must wipe off man whom I created from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, —for I am grieved that I made them.
8 Amma Nuhu ya sami tagomashi a gaban Ubangiji.
But, Noah, had found favour in the eyes, of Yahweh.
9 Ga tarihin Nuhu. Nuhu mutum ne mai adalci, marar abin zargi a cikin mutanen zamaninsa, ya kuma yi tafiya tare da Allah.

And Noah begat three sons, —Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 Duniya dai ta lalace sosai a gaban Allah, ta kuma cika da tashin hankali.
And the earth corrupted itself before God, —and the earth was filled with violence,
12 Allah ya ga yadda duniya ta lalace, gama dukan mutane a duniya sun lalatar da rayuwarsu.
And God beheld the earth, and lo! it had corrupted itself, —surely all flesh had corrupted its way, on 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.
So God said unto Noah: the end of all flesh, hath come in before me, for, filled, is the earth with violence, because of them, —behold me, then, destroying them with 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 for thee an ark of timbers of gopher, rooms, shalt thou make with the ark, —and thou shalt cover 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, this, is how thou shalt make it, —three hundred cubits, the length of the ark, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and thirty cubits the height thereof.

A place for light, shalt thou make to the ark and to a cubit, shalt thou finish it upwards, and the opening of the ark—in the side thereof, shalt thou put, —with lower, second and third stories, shalt thou 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, I, behold me! bringing in the flood—even waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein is the spirit of life, from under the heavens, —everything that is in the earth, shall cease to breathe:
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.
therefore will I establish my covenant with thee, —and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou, 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.
Moreover of all the living creatures of all flesh—two of each, shalt thou bring into the ark to keep alive with thee, —male and female, shall they be.

But thou, take to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it unto thee, —and it shall be for thee and for them for food.
22 Nuhu ya yi kome kamar yadda Allah ya umarce shi.
And Noah did [so], —according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
