Farawa 8
1 Amma Allah ya tuna da Nuhu da dukan namun jeji da dabbobin da suke tare da shi a cikin jirgi, ya kuma aika da wata iska ta hura dukan duniya, ruwan kuwa ya janye.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uNowa lazozonke izinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo ezazilaye emkhunjini, wasethumela umoya emhlabeni, amanzi asesentsha.
2 Aka toshe maɓuɓɓugan zurfafa da ƙofofin ambaliyar sammai, ruwan sama kuma ya daina saukowa daga sarari.
Manje imithombo yolwandle lamasango amanzi asemazulwini kwasekuvaliwe, lezulu laselisile emkhathini.
3 Ruwan ya janye a hankali daga ƙasa. A ƙarshen kwanaki ɗari da hamsin ɗin, ruwan ya ragu.
Amanzi entsha kancanekancane emhlabeni. Ekupheleni kwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu amanzi ayesentshile,
4 A rana ta goma sha bakwai ga watan bakwai, jirgin ya sauka a duwatsun Ararat.
kwathi ngosuku lwetshumi lesikhombisa lwenyanga yesikhombisa umkhumbi wayakuma phezu kwezintaba zase-Ararathi.
5 Ruwan ya ci gaba da janyewa har watan goma. A rana ta fari ga watan goma kuwa ƙwanƙolin duwatsun suka bayyana.
Amanzi aqhubeka esentsha kwaze kwaba yinyanga yetshumi, kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yetshumi iziqongo zezintaba zaqala ukubonakala.
6 Bayan kwana arba’in, sai Nuhu ya buɗe tagar jirgin da ya yi,
Ngemva kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane uNowa wavula iwindi ayelenzile emkhunjini
7 ya saki hankaka. Hankaka ya yi ta kai da kawowa har sai da ruwa ya shanye a duniya.
wathuma iwabayi, lazulazula emoyeni amanzi aze atsha emhlabeni.
8 Sai ya saki kurciya don yă ga in ruwan ya janye daga doron ƙasa.
Wasethuma ijuba ukuthi abone ingabe amanzi ayesephelile emhlabathini.
9 Amma kurciyar ba tă sami inda za tă sa ƙafafunta ba gama akwai ruwa a dukan doron ƙasa, saboda haka ta komo wurin Nuhu a jirgi. Ya miƙa hannunsa ya ɗauko kurciyar ya shigar da ita wurinsa a cikin jirgi.
Kodwa ijuba laswela indawo yokubeka unyawo ngoba kwakulamanzi yonke indawo phezu komhlaba; ngakho labuyela kuNowa emkhunjini. Wakhupha isandla walamukela ijuba walibuyisa kuye emkhunjini.
10 Ya ƙara jira kwana bakwai, sai ya sāke aiken kurciyar daga jirgi.
Walinda okwezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa waphinda walithuma ijuba lisuka emkhunjini.
11 Sa’ad da kurciya ta komo wurinsa da yamma, sai ga ɗanyen ganyen zaitun da ta tsinko a bakinta! Sa’an nan Nuhu ya san cewa ruwa ya janye daga duniya.
Kwathi ijuba selibuya kuye ntambama, laliphethe ngomlomo walo ihlamvu lesihlahla se-oliva elalisanda kukhiwa! UNowa wahle wazi ukuthi amanzi ayesehlile kakhulu emhlabeni.
12 Ya ƙara jira kwana bakwai, sai ya sāke aiken kurciyar, amma a wannan ƙaro ba tă komo wurinsa ba.
Walinda okwezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa walithuma ijuba njalo, kodwa ngalesi isikhathi kalisabuyanga kuye.
13 A rana ta fari ga wata na fari wanda Nuhu ya cika shekaru 601, ruwa ya shanye a ƙasa. Sai Nuhu ya buɗe murfin jirgin, ya ga cewa doron ƙasa ya bushe.
Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala yomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha lanye wokuphila kukaNowa, amanzi ayesomile emhlabeni. Ngakho uNowa wasesusa uphahla lomkhumbi esebona ukuthi iphansi lomhlabathi laselomile.
14 A ran ashirin da bakwai ga wata na biyu, ƙasa ta bushe ƙaƙaf.
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa lwenyanga yesibili umhlabathi wawusuwome qha.
15 Sa’an nan Allah ya ce wa Nuhu,
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuNowa,
16 “Fito daga jirgin, kai da matarka da’ya’yanka maza da matansu.
“Phuma emkhunjini, wena lomkakho, lamadodana akho labomkabo.
17 Ka fitar da kowane iri halitta mai rai da take tare da kai waje, tsuntsaye, dabbobi, da dukan halittu masu rarrafe a ƙasa, don su yi ta haihuwa, su yi yawa, su ƙaru a duniya.”
Khupha yonke into ephilayo olayo, izinyoni, izinyamazana lazozonke izinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini ukuze zande emhlabeni, zizale zande ngobunengi bazo.”
18 Sai Nuhu ya fito tare da matarsa da’ya’yansa maza da matan’ya’yansa,
Ngakho uNowa wasephuma lamadodana akhe, lomkakhe kanye labomalukazana bakhe.
19 da kowace irin dabba, da kowane mai rarrafe, da kowane irin tsuntsu, da kowane irin abu da yake tafiya a bisa duniya, suka fito daga jirgi daki-daki bisa ga irinsu.
Zonke izinyamazana kanye lezinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini lazozonke izinyoni, yonke into enyakazayo emhlabeni, kwaphuma emkhunjini, ngemihlobo kulandelana.
20 Sai Nuhu ya gina bagaden hadaya ga Ubangiji, ya ɗiba waɗansu dabbobi da tsuntsaye masu tsabta, ya yi hadaya ta ƙonawa da su a kan bagaden.
UNowa wasesakhela uThixo i-alithari, wathatha ezinye izinyamazana lezinyoni ezihlanzekileyo wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwalo.
21 Da Ubangiji ya ji ƙanshi mai daɗi, sai ya ce a zuciyarsa, “Ba zan ƙara la’anta ƙasa saboda mutum ba, ko da yake dukan tunanin zuciyar mutum mugu ne tun yana ƙarami. Ba kuwa zan ƙara hallaka dukan halittu masu rai, kamar yadda na yi ba.
UThixo wahotsha iphunga elimnandi wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Kangisayikuphinda ngiwuqalekise njalo umhlaba ngenxa yabantu, ngoba imicabango yenhliziyo yomuntu mibi kusukela ebuntwaneni bakhe. Njalo kangisoze lanini ngiphinde ngibhubhise zonke izidalwa eziphilayo, njengalokhu engikwenzileyo.
22 “Muddin duniya tana nan, lokacin shuki da na girbi, lokacin sanyi da na zafi, lokacin damina da na rani, dare da rana ba za su daina ba.”
Nxa umhlaba ulokhu usekhona, isikhathi sokuhlanyela lesokuvuna, umqando lokutshisa, ihlobo lobusika, imini lobusuku kakusoze kwacina.”
