Olubereberye 6
1 Abantu bwe beeyongera obungi ku nsi ne bazaalirwa abaana aboobuwala.
And it came to pass when men had begun to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters had been born to them,
2 Abaana ba Katonda ne balaba ng’abawala abo balungi ne bawasa buli gwe beerondera.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men! that they were, fair, —so they took to themselves wives of whomsoever they chose,
3 Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Omwoyo wange taawakanenga na muntu emirembe gyonna, kubanga muntu buntu; n’ennaku ze ziriba emyaka kikumi mu abiri.”
And Yahweh said—My spirit shall not rule in man to times age—abiding, for that, he also, is flesh, —Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 Mu nnaku ezo, abaana ba Katonda bwe beegatta n’abawala b’abantu abo, ne babazaalamu abaana; be Banefuli abaali abatutumufu ennyo era abalwanyi abeekitalo mu biseera ebyo era ne mu biro ebyaddirira.
The giants, were in the earth in those days, and also, after that, when the sons of God began to go in unto the daughters of men, and sons were born to them, the same, were the heroes that were from age-past times the men of renown.
5 Mukama n’alaba ng’ekibi ky’omuntu kiyinze nnyo ku nsi; nga buli ndowooza y’omutima gw’omuntu mbi njereere ebbanga lyonna.
Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;
6 Mukama n’anakuwala nnyo kubanga yatonda omuntu ku nsi, n’alumwa nnyo mu mutima gwe.
and it grieved Yahweh, that he had made man in the earth, —and he took sorrow unto his heart.
7 Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Ndiggya ku nsi omuntu gwe natonda, ndisaanyaawo omuntu, n’ensolo n’ebinyonyi, kubanga nejjusizza olw’okubitonda.”
And Yahweh said—I must wipe off man whom I created from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, —for I am grieved that I made them.
8 Kyokka ye Nuuwa n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama.
But, Noah, had found favour in the eyes, of Yahweh.
9 Bino bye bifa ku Nuuwa n’ab’omu nju ye: Nuuwa yali muntu mutuukirivu, nga taliiko kya kunenyezebwa mu bantu b’ekiseera kye, n’atambula ne Katonda.
These, are the generations of Noah, Noah, was, a righteous man blameless, in his generations, —with God, did Noah walk.
10 Nuuwa yalina batabani be basatu: Seemu ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi.
And Noah begat three sons, —Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 Ensi yali nnyonoonefu mu maaso ga Katonda era ng’ejjudde eddalu.
And the earth corrupted itself before God, —and the earth was filled with violence,
12 Katonda n’alaba ensi, era laba, ng’eyonoonese mu kweyisa kwayo kubanga buli muntu yenna yali kyetwala nga tewakyali mutuukirivu.
And God beheld the earth, and lo! it had corrupted itself, —surely all flesh had corrupted its way, on the earth.
13 Katonda kwe kugamba Nuuwa nti, “Mmaliridde okuzikiriza buli muntu, kubanga ensi ejjudde eddalu; laba, nzija kubazikiriza mbamalewo ku nsi.
So God said unto Noah: the end of all flesh, hath come in before me, for, filled, is the earth with violence, because of them, —behold me, then, destroying them with the earth.
14 Naye ggwe Nuuwa weekolere eryato mu muti gofeeri, okolemu ebisenge, olibikke n’envumbo munda ne kungulu.
Make for thee an ark of timbers of gopher, rooms, shalt thou make with the ark, —and thou shalt cover it within and without with pitch.
15 Bw’oti bw’oba olikola: obuwanvu bwalyo mita kikumi mu ana, n’obugazi mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu, n’obugulumivu mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu.
And, this, is how thou shalt make it, —three hundred cubits, the length of the ark, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and thirty cubits the height thereof.
16 Bw’oliba olizimba, waggulu oteekangayo akasolya nga kabika kimu kyakubiri ekya mita. Omulyango gwalyo oguteekanga mu mbiriizi zaalyo. Okolanga eryato lya kalinassatu, ery’emyaliiro: ogwa wansi n’ogwokubiri, n’ogwokusatu.
A place for light, shalt thou make to the ark and to a cubit, shalt thou finish it upwards, and the opening of the ark—in the side thereof, shalt thou put, —with lower, second and third stories, shalt thou make it.
17 Ndireeta amataba ku nsi, okuzikiriza buli kiramu, ekissa omukka, ekiri wansi w’eggulu; buli ekiri ku nsi kya kufa.
And, I, behold me! bringing in the flood—even waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein is the spirit of life, from under the heavens, —everything that is in the earth, shall cease to breathe:
18 Naye ndikola endagaano naawe. Oliyingira mu lyato, ggwe, ne mukazi wo, ne batabani bo, ne baka batabani bo wamu naawe.
therefore will I establish my covenant with thee, —and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives, with thee.
19 Oliyingira mu lyato na buli kiramu ekirina omubiri; oliyingiza bibiri bibiri ekisajja n’ekikazi bibeere biramu naawe.
Moreover of all the living creatures of all flesh—two of each, shalt thou bring into the ark to keep alive with thee, —male and female, shall they be.
20 Ku binyonyi ebya buli ngeri, ne ku nsolo eza buli ngeri, na buli ekyewalula ekya buli ngeri, bibiri bibiri ebya buli ngeri birijja gy’oli, bibeere biramu.
Of the bird after its kind and of the beast after its kind, [and] of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each, shall come in unto thee. for keeping alive.
21 Era twala buli ngeri ya mmere eriibwa, ogitereke; eriba mmere yo n’ebiramu byo.”
But thou, take to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it unto thee, —and it shall be for thee and for them for food.
22 Nuuwa n’akola byonna nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
And Noah did [so], —according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
