Olubereberye 7
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Nuuwa nti, “Yingira mu lyato, ggwe n’abantu bo bonna, kubanga nkulabye ng’oli mutuukirivu mu mulembe guno.
Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
2 Twala ku buli nsolo ennongoofu musanvu musanvu ensajja n’enkazi,
You are to take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate;
3 era ne ku binyonyi eby’omu bbanga musanvu musanvu ekisajja n’ekikazi, okukuuma olulyo lwabyo ku nsi.
and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of all the earth.
4 Bwe waliyitawo ennaku musanvu nditonnyesa enkuba ku nsi emisana n’ekiro okumalira ddala ennaku amakumi ana, era ndizikiriza buli kintu ekiramu kye natonda ku nsi.”
For seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”
5 Bw’atyo Nuuwa n’akola buli kintu nga Mukama bwe yakimulagira.
And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.
6 Nuuwa yali aweza emyaka lukaaga amataba bwe gajja ku nsi.
Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.
7 Nuuwa n’ayingira mu lyato n’abaana be ne mukazi we n’abakazi b’abaana be bawone amataba.
And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.
8 Era ensolo ennongoofu, n’ensolo ezitali nnongoofu n’ebibuuka mu bbanga na buli ekyewalula,
The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground
9 ne biyingira bibiri bibiri ekisajja n’ekikazi eri Nuuwa mu lyato, nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ziri omusanvu, amataba ne gatandika ku nsi.
And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.
11 Mu mwaka ogw’olukaaga ogw’obulamu bwa Nuuwa, mu mwezi ogwokubiri, ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’omusanvu olw’omwezi, ku lunaku olwo ensulo zonna ez’omu nnyanja ennene, ne ziggulwa lumu n’ebituli byonna eby’eggulu.
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
12 Enkuba n’etonnya ku nsi okumala ennaku amakumi ana, emisana n’ekiro.
And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Nuuwa ne mukazi ne batabani be, Seemu, ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi, ne bakazi baabwe bonsatule, ne bayingira mu lyato.
On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons—
14 Buli nsolo mu ngeri yaayo na buli nte, na buli ekyewalula, era na buli kinyonyi mu ngeri yaakyo na buli nkula ya kinyonyi, nabyo ne biyingira mu lyato.
they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.
15 Ne biyingira mu lyato lya Nuuwa bibiri bibiri byonna ebyalimu omukka ogw’obulamu.
They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.
16 Byonna ne biyingira mu lyato, ekisajja n’ekikazi; byayingira nga Katonda bwe yalagira Nuuwa, Mukama n’aggalawo eryato.
And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.
17 Amataba ne gabuna ensi okumala ennaku amakumi ana. Amazzi ne geeyongeranga, n’eryato nalyo ne lyeyongeranga okutumbiira ku nsi.
For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.
18 Amazzi ne gatumbiira ne geeyongera okwala ku nsi, n’eryato ne liseeyeeya kungulu ku mazzi.
So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.
19 Amazzi ne gatumbiira nnyo nnyini ku nsi, n’ensozi zonna empanvu wansi w’eggulu lyonna amazzi ne gazibikka.
Finally, the waters completely inundated the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
20 Amazzi ne gatumbiira ne gabikka ensozi ne zibulira wansi mu mazzi mita nga musanvu.
The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.
21 Buli kiramu ekyali ku nsi ne kifa: ebinyonyi n’ensolo ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko, n’ebitonde byonna ebyali ku nsi n’abantu bonna.
And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.
22 Buli kintu kyonna ekyali ku lukalu ekissa omukka ne kifa.
Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
23 Buli kiramu kyonna ekyali ku nsi ne kimalibwawo: abantu, n’ensolo, na buli kitonde ekitambula ku nsi, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga ne bimalibwawo ku nsi. Nuuwa yekka n’abo be yali nabo mu lyato be baasigalawo.
And every living thing on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained.
24 Amataba gaamala ku nsi ennaku kikumi mu ataano.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
The Great Flood
