1 Mgbe ụbọchị ahụ zuru, Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ Noa sị ya, “Baa nʼime ụgbọ mmiri, gị na ezinaụlọ gị niile, nʼihi na nʼime ndị niile bi nʼọgbọ a, ọ bụ naanị gị bụ onye ezi omume m hụrụ.
The LORD said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
2 Kpọrọ ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a a gụrụ dịka ndị dị ọcha, dịka ụdị ha si dị asaa asaa, oke na nwunye. Otu a kwa, kpọrọkwa ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a gụrụ dịka ndị na-adịghị ọcha, dịka ụdị ha si dị, abụọ abụọ, oke na nwunye,
You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
3 na ụmụ anụ ufe asaa asaa, dịka ụdị ha si dị, oke na nwunye, maka idebe ụdị ndị a niile ndụ nʼụwa.
Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
4 Nʼihi na ụbọchị asaa site taa, aga m ezidata mmiri ozuzo nʼụwa. Mmiri a ga-ezo iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị. Aga m ekpochapụ site nʼelu ụwa ihe niile nwere ndụ nke m kere.”
In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”
5 Ya mere, Noa mere ihe niile Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
Noah did everything that the LORD commanded him.
6 Noa gbara narị afọ isii mgbe mmiri ukwu a bidoro izo nʼelu ụwa.
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
7 Noa banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, ya na ụmụ ya ndị ikom na nwunye ya, na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya ndị ikom ịgbanarị uju mmiri ahụ.
Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
8 Ụmụ anụmanụ ndị dị ọcha, na ndị na-adịghị ọcha, abụọ abụọ, tinyere anụ ufe na ihe niile e kere eke na-akpụgharị nʼala, abụọ abụọ kwa,

10 Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, uju mmiri ahụ bịakwasịrị ụwa.
After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
11 Nʼafọ narị isii nke ndụ Noa, nʼọnwa nke abụọ, nʼụbọchị nke iri na asaa, bụ ụbọchị isi iyi niile dị nʼime ime ala nupụtara nʼelu ala, mmiri niile dị na mbara eluigwe ka a hapụrụ ka ha wụdata nʼụwa.
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.
12 Mmiri zogịdere na-esepụghị aka iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị.
It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 Nʼụbọchị ahụ kpomkwem, Noa banyere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ, ya na Shem, Ham na Jafet, bụ ụmụ Noa, na nwunye Noa, na ndị nwunye atọ nke ụmụ ya.
In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
14 Ha onwe ha, na anụ ọhịa ọbụla, nʼụdị ya, na anụ ụlọ ọbụla, nʼụdị ya na ihe ọbụla e kere eke na-akpụgharị nʼala, nʼụdị ya, na anụ ufe ọbụla nʼụdị ya, na aha nnụnụ ọbụla na ihe ọbụla nwere nku.
they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 Ha bịakwutere Noa nʼime ụgbọ mmiri ahụ, abụọ abụọ site nʼihe niile ọbụla e kere eke, nke nwere ume ndụ nʼime ha.
Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
16 Ma ndị banyerenụ bụ oke na nwunye, site na ihe niile nwere ndụ dịka Chineke nyere ya nʼiwu. Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mechiri ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ.
Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then the LORD shut him in.
17 Uju mmiri nọgidere nʼụwa iri ụbọchị anọ. Mgbe mmiri ndị a na-aba ụba, ha buliri ụgbọ mmiri ahụ elu site nʼelu ala.
The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 Mmiri ndị a toro na-ala elu na-abawanyekwa ụba nʼelu ụwa. Ụgbọ mmiri ahụ segooro nʼelu mmiri.
The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
19 Mmiri ndị ahụ toro laa elu kpuchie ugwu ukwu niile dị nʼokpuru mbara eluigwe.
The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20 Mmiri ndị a toro kpuchiri ugwu niile, ruo na ịla elu mmiri ndị a site nʼelu ugwu ukwu niile ruru mita asaa.
The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
21 Ihe niile nwere ndụ nke na-ejegharị nʼelu ụwa kubiri ume. Anụ ufe, na anụ ụlọ, na anụ ọhịa, na ihe niile e kere eke jupụtara nʼụwa, na ụmụ mmadụ niile.
All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22 Ee, ihe niile na-eku ume nke bi nʼelu ala nwụrụ.
All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
23 Ihe niile nwere ume ndụ nʼelu ụwa ka e kpochapụrụ. Mmadụ na anụmanụ, na anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala na nnụnụ niile. A lara ha niile nʼiyi. Ma ọ bụ naanị Noa na ndị niile so ya nọdụ nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ ka a hapụrụ ndụ.
Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
24 Narị ụbọchị na iri ụbọchị ise ka mmiri dọọrọ nʼelu ụwa dum.
The waters flooded the earth one hundred and fifty days.
