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 the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Twala ku buli nsolo ennongoofu musanvu musanvu ensajja n’enkazi,
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female;
3 era ne ku binyonyi eby’omu bbanga musanvu musanvu ekisajja n’ekikazi, okukuuma olulyo lwabyo ku nsi.
of the fowl also of the air, seven and seven, male and female: to keep seed alive upon 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 yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
5 Bw’atyo Nuuwa n’akola buli kintu nga Mukama bwe yakimulagira.
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD 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 upon 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 fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the ground,
9 ne biyingira bibiri bibiri ekisajja n’ekikazi eri Nuuwa mu lyato, nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ziri omusanvu, amataba ne gatandika ku nsi.
And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were 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, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 Enkuba n’etonnya ku nsi okumala ennaku amakumi ana, emisana n’ekiro.
And the rain was upon 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.
In the selfsame day entered 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 creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 Ne biyingira mu lyato lya Nuuwa bibiri bibiri byonna ebyalimu omukka ogw’obulamu.
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is 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 went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and 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.
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift 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 upon the earth; and the ark went upon 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 upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Amazzi ne gatumbiira ne gabikka ensozi ne zibulira wansi mu mazzi mita nga musanvu.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; 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 died that moved upon the earth, both fowl, and cattle, and beast, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 Buli kintu kyonna ekyali ku lukalu ekissa omukka ne kifa.
all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was in 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 thing was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping thing, and fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 Amataba gaamala ku nsi ennaku kikumi mu ataano.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
