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 YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] 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.
you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its 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.
also, seven pairs from [each] bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of 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 after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”
5 Bongo, Noa asalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki ye.
And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.
6 Noa azalaki na mibu nkama motoba ya mbotama tango mpela eyaki na mokili.
And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on 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 Noah goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters 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
from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground,
9 eyaki epai na Noa mpe ekotaki na masuwa, mwasi na mobali, ndenge Nzambe atindaki Noa.
they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.
10 Bongo sima na mikolo sambo, mpela eyaki na mokili.
And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on 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 Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all [the] fountains of the great deep have been broken up, and the network of the heavens has been opened,
12 Mvula enokaki na mokili mikolo tuku minei mpe babutu tuku minei.
and the shower is on the earth [for] 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 this very same day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went 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.
they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind (every bird, every wing).
15 Mwasi na mobali, kati na bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi, eyaki epai ya Noa mpo na kokota na masuwa.
And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
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 are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes [it] for him.
17 Mpela ewumelaki na mokili mikolo tuku minei; mayi ekomaki ebele mpe etombolaki masuwa likolo na yango.
And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;
18 Mayi emataki mpe ekomaki ebele, bongo masuwa ekomaki kotepatepa likolo ya mayi.
and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.
19 Mayi emataki lisusu makasi mpe bangomba nyonso ya milayi oyo ezalaki na mokili ezindaki na se ya mayi.
And the waters have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which [are] under the whole heavens;
20 Mayi emataki lisusu likolo ya bangomba na bosanda ya bametele pene sambo to mwambe.
the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;
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 all flesh expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;
22 Nyonso oyo ezalaki na pema ya bomoi ekufaki kati na mokili.
all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have 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 all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the Ark;
24 Mayi etondaki na mokili mikolo nkama moko na tuku mitano.
and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
