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.
And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Twala ku buli nsolo ennongoofu musanvu musanvu ensajja n’enkazi,
Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female.
3 era ne ku binyonyi eby’omu bbanga musanvu musanvu ekisajja n’ekikazi, okukuuma olulyo lwabyo ku nsi.
Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive 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 in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground.
5 Bw’atyo Nuuwa n’akola buli kintu nga Mukama bwe yakimulagira.
And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him.
6 Nuuwa yali aweza emyaka lukaaga amataba bwe gajja ku nsi.
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
7 Nuuwa n’ayingira mu lyato n’abaana be ne mukazi we n’abakazi b’abaana be bawone amataba.
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Era ensolo ennongoofu, n’ensolo ezitali nnongoofu n’ebibuuka mu bbanga na buli ekyewalula,
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowl, and of everything that creeps on the ground,
9 ne biyingira bibiri bibiri ekisajja n’ekikazi eri Nuuwa mu lyato, nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
there came two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ziri omusanvu, amataba ne gatandika ku nsi.
And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on 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, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 Enkuba n’etonnya ku nsi okumala ennaku amakumi ana, emisana n’ekiro.
And the pour of rain was on the earth 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 the same day went Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
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 beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and all fowl after its kind — every bird of every wing.
15 Ne biyingira mu lyato lya Nuuwa bibiri bibiri byonna ebyalimu omukka ogw’obulamu.
And they went to Noah, into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which was 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 that came, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.
17 Amataba ne gabuna ensi okumala ennaku amakumi ana. Amazzi ne geeyongeranga, n’eryato nalyo ne lyeyongeranga okutumbiira ku nsi.
And the flood was forty days on the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark; and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 Amazzi ne gatumbiira ne geeyongera okwala ku nsi, n’eryato ne liseeyeeya kungulu ku mazzi.
And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters.
19 Amazzi ne gatumbiira nnyo nnyini ku nsi, n’ensozi zonna empanvu wansi w’eggulu lyonna amazzi ne gazibikka.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains that are under all the heavens were covered.
20 Amazzi ne gatumbiira ne gabikka ensozi ne zibulira wansi mu mazzi mita nga musanvu.
Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed; and the mountains were covered.
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 all flesh that moved on the earth expired, fowl as well as cattle, and beasts, and all crawling things which crawl on the earth, and all mankind:
22 Buli kintu kyonna ekyali ku lukalu ekissa omukka ne kifa.
everything which had in its nostrils the breath of life, of all that was on the dry [land], 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 being was destroyed that was on the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowl of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth. And Noah alone remained, and what was with him in the ark.
24 Amataba gaamala ku nsi ennaku kikumi mu ataano.
And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
