Kinohi 8
1 HOOMANAO iho la o Iehova ia Noa, a me na mea ola a pau, a me na holoholona a pau me ia iloko o ka halelana: hoohuai mai la ke Akua i ka makani maluna o ka honua, a emi iho la ka wai:
UNkulunkulu wasemkhumbula uNowa, lakho konke okuphilayo, laso sonke isifuyo, esasilaye emkhunjini. UNkulunkulu wavunguzisa umoya phezu komhlaba, lamanzi etsha.
2 Ua papaniia ae la na punawai o ka hohonu, a me na puka wai o ka lani, a malie iho ka ua mai luna mai:
Kwasekumiswa imithombo yokujula lamasango empophoma zamazulu, lezulu elivela emazulwini lanqandwa.
3 Hoi hou mau aku la ka wai mailuna ae o ka honua: a mahope o na la he haneri a me kanalima, ua emi ka wai.
Lamanzi etsha esuka emhlabeni, ehamba ebuyela; amanzi asencipha ekupheleni kwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu.
4 A i ka hiku o ka malama, i ka la umikumamahiku o ua malama la, ili iho la ka halelana ma na kuahiwi o Ararata.
Umkhumbi wasuhlala ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngosuku lwetshumi lesikhombisa lwenyanga, phezu kwezintaba zeArarathi.
5 Emi mau iho la ka wai, a hiki i ka umi o ka malama: i ka umi o ka malama, i ka la mua o ua malama la, ua ikea na wahi kiekie o na kuahiwi.
Lamanzi aya esetsha kwaze kwaba senyangeni yetshumi; ngeyetshumi ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga kwabonakala ingqonga zezintaba.
6 A hala na la he kanaha, wehe ae la o Noa i ka puka makani o ka halelana ana i hana'i:
Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane, uNowa wasevula iwindi lomkhumbi ayelenzile,
7 Hookuu aku la ia i kekahi koraka, nana i lele aku a hoi mai ma kela wahi a ma keia wahi, a maloo iho ka wai ma ka honua.
wasethuma iwabayi, lazulazula njalo, aze atsha amanzi emhlabeni.
8 Hookuu aku la hoi oia i ka manu nunu e ike i ka emi ana o ka wai mai ka aina aku;
Wasethuma ijuba lisuka kuye, ukubona ukuthi amanzi asemalutshwana yini ebusweni bomhlaba;
9 Aka, aole i loaa i ua manu nunu la he wahi e maha'i o kona wawae, a hoi hou mai la ia io na la iloko o ka halelana, no ka mea, ua uhi ka wai maluna o ka honua a pau; alaila, o aku la kona lima, lalau aku la oia ia ia, a huki mai la ia ia io na la iloko o ka halelana.
kodwa ijuba kalitholanga indawo yokuphumula kwengaphansi yonyawo lwalo, ngakho labuyela kuye emkhunjini, ngoba amanzi ayekhona ebusweni bomhlaba wonke. Waseselula isandla sakhe, walithatha, walingenisa kuye emkhunjini.
10 Noho iho la ia i na la hou aka i ehiku; a hookuu hou aku la i ka manu nunu iwaho o ka halelana;
Waselinda futhi ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; wasephinda elithuma ijuba lisuka emkhunjini.
11 A ahiahi iho la, hoi mai la ka manu nunu io na la, aia hoi, he lau oliva hou ma kona waha. Pela o Noa i ike ai, ua emi iho ka wai mai luna aka o ka honua.
Ijuba laselibuya kuye ngesikhathi santambama, khangela-ke, ihlamvu lomhlwathi elisanda ukuquntwa lalisemlonyeni walo; ngakho uNowa wasesazi ukuthi amanzi asemalutshwana phezu komhlaba.
12 Noho iho la ia i na la hou aku i ehiku; a hookuu aku la i ka manu nunu; aole no ia i hoi hou mai io na la ma ia hope mai.
Waselinda futhi ezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa; waselithuma ijuba; kalabe lisabuyela kuye futhi.
13 I ka makahiki eono haneri a me kumamakahi, i ka malama hookahi, a i ka la mua o ua malama la, maloo iho la ka wai mai ka honua aku; a wehe ae la o Noa i ke pani maluna o ka halelana, a nana ae la, aia hoi, ua maloo ka aina.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha lanye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, amanzi atsha emhlabeni. UNowa wasesusa isifulelo somkhumbi, wabona, khangela-ke, ubuso bomhlaba babomile.
14 A i ka lua o ka malama, i ka la iwakaluakumamahiku o ua malama la, ua maloo iho ka honua.
Njalo ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa lwenyanga, umhlaba wawusuwomile.
15 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Noa, i mai la,
UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kuNowa, esithi:
16 E hele aku oe iwaho o ka halelana, o oe, me kau wahine, me au mau keikikane, a me na wahine a kau mau keikikane me oe.
Phuma emkhunjini, wena lomkakho lamadodana akho labafazi bamadodana akho kanye lawe.
17 E lawe pu mai me oe i na mea ola a pau ia oe, o na mea io, o na manu, na holoholona, a me na mea kolo a pau e kolo ana maluna o ka honua; i hanau nui ai lakou ma ka honua, i hua mai, a mahuahua maluna o ka honua.
Konke okuphilayo okulawe, kuyo yonke inyama, eyenyoni leyesifuyo leyakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela emhlabeni, phuma lakho; ukuze kuzale kwande emhlabeni, kuzale, kwande phezu komhlaba.
18 Hele aku la o Noa me kana mau keikikane, a me kana wahine, a me na wahine a kana mau keikikane me ia:
UNowa wasephuma, lamadodana akhe, lomkakhe, labafazi bamadodana akhe kanye laye.
19 O na holoholona hoi a pau, o na mea kolo a pau, me na manu a pau, a me na mea a pau e kolo ana maluna o ka honua, ma ko lakou mau ano iho, hele aku la lakou iwaho o ka halelana.
Yonke inyamazana, konke okuhuquzelayo, layo yonke inyoni, konke okuhamba emhlabeni, ngenhlobo zakho, kwaphuma emkhunjini.
20 Hana iho la o Noa i kuahu no Iehova, lalau aku la ia i kekahi o na holoholona maemae a pau, a o na manu maemae a pau, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni maluna o ke kuahu.
UNowa waseyakhela iNkosi ilathi; wathatha kuso sonke isifuyo esihlambulukileyo, lakuyo yonke inyoni ehlambulukileyo, wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwelathi.
21 Honi mai la o Iehova i ke ala oluolu: i iho la o Iehova iloko o kona naau, Aole au e hoino hou i ka aina no kanaka, no ka mea, ua hewa no ka manao ana o ko ke kanaka naau mai kona wa opiopio; aole hoi au e luku hou aku i na mea ola a pau, me au i hana iho nei.
INkosi yasisizwa uqhatshi olumnandi; iNkosi yasisithi enhliziyweni yayo: Kangisayikuphinda ngiqalekise umhlaba ngenxa yomuntu, ngoba ukuceba kwenhliziyo yomuntu kubi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe; futhi kangisayikuphinda ngitshaye konke okuphilayo njengalokhu ngenzile.
22 E mau auanei ka wa e kanu ai a e ohi ai; ke ana a me ka wela, ke kau a me ka hooilo, ka la a me ka po; a pau na la o ka honua.
Ngazo zonke izinsuku zomhlaba, ukuhlanyela lokuvuna, lamakhaza lokukhudumala, lehlobo lobusika, lemini lobusuku, kakuyikuphela.
