< Jenesis 6 >
1 Veamo'za ama mopafina vahera kase hakare hazageno, knare'nare mofa'nerami fore hu'naze.
When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
2 Hanki vahe'mo'za rama'a mofane zaga kasezmantage'za, Anumzamofo mofavre naga'mo'za ke zamasane nehu'za zamavesia a'ne eri'naze.
some of the men who (belonged to/believed in) God saw that some of the women who did not (belong to/believe in) God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
3 Ana hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Avamunimo'a vahe'mofompina mani'neno zamasimura zami vava osugahie. Na'ankure vahera fri'zaga mani'nazanki'za, 120'a zagegafua agateore'neza frigahaze.
Then Yahweh said, “[I will] not [allow] my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).”
4 Ana knafine henka'anena tusinasi vahe'mo'za ama mopafina mani'nazankino, Anumzamofo mofavremo'za e'za vahe'mokizmi mofane zagane emasageno mofavrea kasezmante'naze. Hanki'za fore'ma hazana korapa knafina hankavenentake hu'za hihamu'ane vahe fore hu'naze.
There were [giants called] Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time [some of the Nephil] men who (belonged to/believed in) God had sex [EUP] with women who did not (belong to/believe in) God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
5 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'ma vahe'mokizmima zamage'neana, mika kna havi avu'avazamo ama mopafina ra huno vahe'mofo antahi antahifina, havi avu ava'zamo aviteno meno vu'ne.
Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
6 E'ina nehazageno Anumzamo'a nezamageno rimpa haviza higeno muse osuno, nahige'na vahera trohu'noe huno asunke nehuno,
Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
7 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Vahe'ene, zagagafane, namaramine, mopafi ne'onse zagarami'nena zamahe fanane hugahue. Nagrama tro'ma huzmante'noa zankura nasunku hue hu'ne.
So he said, “I will completely destroy the people I made. I will also destroy all the animals and the creatures that scurry across the ground and the birds. None of them will remain on the earth, because I regret that I made them.”
8 Hianagi Noa'a agrake Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo nera mani'negeno muse hunte'ne.
But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
9 Hagi Noa nagamofo nanekea amanahu me'ne. Ana knafima mani'naza vahepina Noa'a fatgo huno hazenke'zama'a omanegeno Anumzane tragoteno mani'neno amage anteno vu'ne.
This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship with God.
10 Noa'a ne' mofavre tagufa zamanteno zamagi'a Semi'e, Hamu'e, Jafeti'e huno antezmi'ne.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Ama mopamo'a Anumzamofo avurera haviza hu'ne, ha' zamo'ene, kefo avu'avazamo enena avite'ne.
At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
12 Anumzamo'ma ama mopafima ke'neana, tamage huno makazamo'a haviza hu'ne, ama mopafima me'neazama keana kumike'za huvagare'naze.
God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
13 Hagi Anumzamo'a anage huno Noana asmi'ne, Ke ontahizageno kefo avu'ava zamo'a aviteankina zamagri'ene mopazimine zamahe fanane huku Nagra nagesa nentahue.
So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on the earth.
14 Hagi kagra hanave zafareti ra ventea tro nehunka, asa hutanenka hunaraginto. Timo'ma ufre'zankura agu'ane megi'anena fukinu renkaniro.
[I want you to] make for yourself a large boat from cypress wood. Make rooms inside it. Cover the outside and the inside with tar [to make it (waterproof/so that water cannot get in and sink the boat]).
15 Ana ventema kisanana, zanra'a 150'a mitagi, kahesa'a 25 mitagi, atrure'a 15 mitagi hunka neginka,
This is the size you must make it: It shall be (150 yards/135 meters) long, (25 yards/22.5 meters) wide, and (15 yards/13.5 meters) high.
16 anagamu no amumpa tvaonte mago mitamofona agema'a hafu'a mita zasikana hagento. Magokaziga kaha hagentenka, ana ventemofo agu'afina ese nonki, anante nonki, agofetu nonki hunka kio.
Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about (18 in./.5 meter) between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side.
17 Hagi Nagra ha'nenkeno tusi'a ti hageno mopa refitena mani'ne'za zamasimu nentaza zane, maka'zanena zamahe fanane hugahue.
Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything on the earth will die.
18 Hu'neanagi kagrane huhagerafinugu huvempa hu'na negasamue. Kagrane a'mofavre ka'ane knoferahe'zane tamagra maka ventefi marerigahaze.
But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
19 Hagi rumofo rumofo zagagafama mani'nazafintira vene, a'ene zamavaretere huge'za kahefa hu'za mani'sagu ventefi mareriho.
And I want to save some of all kinds of creatures. So you must also bring two of all living creatures, a male and a female, into the boat with you, so that their species also may remain alive.
20 Zgagafama nama, rumofo rumofo kumate zagane, mopafi ne'onse zagarmine, vene a'ene kasefa hu'za manisnagu kagrite egahaze.
Two of every kind of creature will come to [in order that by your putting them in the boat] you will keep them alive. They will include two of each kind of bird and each kind of animal and each kind of creature that scurries across the ground.
21 Ana nehunka aru ne'za aru ne'zana, tamagrane maka zagagafanema nesazazana erinka eme eritru huo.
You must also take some of every kind of food that you and all these animals will need, and store it in the boat.”
22 Higeno Anumzamo'ma asmi'neaza huno Noa'a maka'zana tro hu'ne.
So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
