< Kinohi 6 >

1 A I ka wa o ka hoomaka ana e mahuahua ai na kanaka maluna o ka honua, a ua hanau mai na kaikamahine a lakou.
And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,
2 Ike ae la na keiki a ke Akua i na kaikamahine a na kanaka, ua maikai lakou; lalau aku la lakou i na mea a lakou i makemake ai i mau wahine na lakou.
The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.
3 I iho la o Iehova, Aole e noho loa ana kuu Uhane me kanaka, no ka mea, he kino no ia; aku, o kona mau la ma keia hope aku, he haneri makahiki ia a me ka iwakalua.
And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.
4 Noho iho la na kanaka nunui ma ka honua ia manawa; a mahope aku, a komo aku la na keiki a ke Akua iloko i na kaikamahine a na kanaka, a hanau mai na lakou ka poe kanaka ikaika, he poe kanaka kaulana lakou i ka wa kahiko.
There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.
5 A ike mai la ke Akua, he nui ka hewa o kanaka ma ka honua, a ua hewa wale no ka noonoo ana o kona naau, ana i manao ai i na la a pau.
And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.
6 A mihi iho la o Iehova i kana hana ana i na kanaka maluna o ka honua, a ua ehaeha kona naau.
And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.
7 I iho la o Iehova, E luku auanei au i na kanaka a'u i hana'i, mai ke alo aku o ka honua, i na kanaka a me na holoholona, a me na mea kolo, a me na manu o ka lewa: no ka mea, ke mihi nei au i ka'u hana ana ia lakou:
And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.
8 Aka, loaa ia Noa ke alohaia mai imua o Iehova.
But Noah had grace in the eyes of God.
9 Eia ka mooolelo no Noa: He kanaka pono o Noa, a he hemolele iwaena o na hanauna ona, a hele pu o Noa me ke Akua.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.
10 Ua hanau mai na Noa ekolu keikikane, o Sema, o Hama, a o Iapeta.
And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Ua inoino hoi ka honua imua o ke Akua; a ua piha ka honua i ka hoino.
And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways.
12 Nana mai la ke Akua i ka honua, aia hoi, ua inoino ia; no ka mea, ua hana ino na kanaka a pau i ko lakou aoao ma ka honua.
And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.
13 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Noa, Ua hiki mai i ko'u alo nei ka hope o na mea ola a pau; no ka mea, ua piha ka honua i ka hoino ma o lakou la: aia hoi, e luku auanei au ia lakou ma ka honua.
And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.
14 E hana oe i halelana nou; e hana hoi oe i na keena maloko o ka halelana, a e hapala ae i ke kepau maloko a mawaho.
Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.
15 Penei kau e hana aku ai: ekolu haneri kubita o ka loa o ka halelana, he kanalima na kubita ka laula, a he kanakolu na kubita o kona kiekie.
And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
16 He malamalama kau e hana'i ma ka halelana, a e hoopaa ia mea maluna ma ke kubita; a e kau oe i ka pukakomo o ka halelana ma kona paia: a he papalalo, me ka papawaena, a me ka papaluna kau e hana'i ma ia mea.
You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.
17 A owau la e, e lawe mai ana au i ke kaiakahinalii maluna o ka honua, i mea e lukuia'i na mea io a pau, i ka poe nona ka hanu ola malalo o ka lani; a e make na mea a pau ma ka honua.
For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.
18 Aka, e hoopaa aku au i ka'u berita ia oe; a e komo ae oe iloko o ka halelana, o oe, me kau mau keikikane, a me kau wahine, a me na wahine a kau mau keikikane.
But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
19 A no na mea io a pau e ola ana, e lawe oe i elua o kela mea keia mea iloko o ka halelana, i kane i wahine, i malama ola pu ia lakou me oe.
And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.
20 O na manu ma ko lakou ano, a o na holoholona, ma ko lakou ano, a o kela mea kolo keia mea kolo o ka honua, ma kona ano iho, e hele papalua mai lakou iou la, i malama ola ia lakou.
Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.
21 E lawe oe nau i na mea ai a pau, a e hoiliili oe ia iou la; i mea ai nau, a na lakou.
And make a store of every sort of food for yourself and them.
22 Pela o Noa i hana'i; ma ka mea a pau a ke Akua i kauoha mai ai ia ia, pela oia i hana'i.
And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.
