Ebandeli 7
1 Yawe alobaki na Noa: « Kota na masuwa, yo mpe libota na yo mobimba, pamba te yo kaka nde omonani sembo na miso na Ngai kati na bato ya ekeke oyo.
And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter you and all your family into the ark, for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Kamata banyama sambo ya mibali mpe sambo ya basi kati na banyama ya lolenge nyonso oyo ezangi mbindo; mpe nyama moko ya mobali mpe moko ya mwasi kati na banyama oyo ezali mbindo.
And of the clean cattle take in to you sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.
3 Kamata lisusu bandeke sambo ya mibali mpe sambo ya basi kati na lolenge nyonso ya bandeke mpo ete esila te kati na mokili.
And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth.
4 Pamba te etikali mikolo sambo mpo ete nanokisa mvula oyo ekowumela mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei mpe nakosilisa koboma bikelamu nyonso oyo nasala kati na mokili oyo. »
For yet seven days [having passed] I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.
5 Bongo, Noa asalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.
6 Noa azalaki na mibu nkama motoba ya mbotama tango mpela eyaki na mokili.
And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.
7 Noa mpe bana na ye ya mibali elongo na mwasi na ye mpe basi ya bana na ye bakotaki na masuwa mpo ete babika na mpela.
And then went in Noe and his sons and his wife, and his sons' wives with him into the ark, because of the water of the flood.
8 Kati na banyama ya lolenge nyonso, moko ya mobali mpe moko ya mwasi, ezala oyo ezanga mbindo to oyo ezali mbindo, bandeke mpe banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu
And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon the earth,
9 eyaki epai na Noa mpe ekotaki na masuwa, mwasi na mobali, ndenge Nzambe atindaki Noa.
pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.
10 Bongo sima na mikolo sambo, mpela eyaki na mokili.
And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.
11 Tango Noa akokisaki mibu nkama motoba ya mbotama, na sanza ya mibale, na mokolo ya zomi na sambo, bitima nyonso ya se mpe maninisa nyonso ya likolo efungwamaki.
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.
12 Mvula enokaki na mokili mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 Kaka na mokolo wana, Noa mpe bana na ye ya mibali: Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti, elongo na mwasi na ye mpe basi misato ya bana na ye, bakotaki na masuwa.
On that very day entered Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and the wife of Noe, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark.
14 Elongo na bango, ekotaki mpe banyama ya zamba ya lolenge nyonso, bibwele ya lolenge nyonso, bikelamu ya lolenge nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bandeke ya lolenge nyonso mpe bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na mapapu.
And all the wild beasts after their kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every reptile moving itself on the earth after its kind, and every flying bird after its kind,
15 Mwasi na mobali, kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi, eyaki epai ya Noa mpo na kokota na masuwa.
went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16 Banyama nyonso oyo ekotaki kuna ezalaki mwasi na mobali kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi, ndenge Nzambe atindaki Noa. Sima, Yawe akangaki ekuke ya masuwa.
And they that entered went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded Noe, and the Lord God shut the ark outside of him.
17 Mpela ewumelaki na mokili mikolo tuku minei; mayi ekomaki ebele mpe etombolaki masuwa likolo na yango.
And the flood was upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and the water abounded greatly and bore up the ark, and it was lifted on high from off the earth.
18 Mayi emataki mpe ekomaki ebele, bongo masuwa ekomaki kotepatepa likolo ya mayi.
And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.
19 Mayi emataki lisusu makasi mpe bangomba nyonso ya milayi oyo ezalaki na mokili ezindaki na se ya mayi.
And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.
20 Mayi emataki lisusu likolo ya bangomba na bosanda ya bametele pene sambo to mwambe.
Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains.
21 Bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi kati na mokili ekufaki, ezala bandeke, bibwele, banyama ya zamba to mpe banyama ya mike-mike oyo etambolaka na mabele to mpe bato nyonso.
And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth, of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, and every man.
22 Nyonso oyo ezalaki na pema ya bomoi ekufaki kati na mokili.
And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died.
23 Boye, Yawe alongolaki kati na mokili bikelamu nyonso oyo ezalaki na bomoi, kobanda na moto kino na ebwele, ekelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe ndeke ya likolo; alongolaki bango na mokili mpe etikalaki kaka Noa na ba-oyo bazalaki na ye elongo na masuwa.
And [God] blotted out every offspring which was upon the face of the earth, both man and beast, and reptiles, and birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth, and Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark.
24 Mayi etondaki na mokili mikolo nkama moko na tuku mitano.
And the water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
