Genesisy 6
1 Ary raha vao nihamaro ny olona tambonin’ ny tany ka teraka zazavavy maro,
And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,
2 dia hitan’ ny zanak’ Andriamanitra fa tsara tarehy ny zanakavavin’ ny olona; ka dia nifidy vady ho azy tamin’ izy rehetra araka izay tiany izy.
The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.
3 Ary hoy Jehovah: Tsy mba hanapaka mandrakariva ao amin’ ny olona ny Fanahiko, fa amin’ ny faniavany dia nofo izy; nefa ho roa-polo amby zato taona ny androny.
And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.
4 Ny Nefilima nitoetra tambonin’ ny tany tamin’ izany andro izany, sy taorian’ izany koa, raha nivady tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny olona ny zanak’ Andriamanitra, ka niterahany; ireo no ilay olo-mahery hatrizay ela izay, dia ny lehilahy nanan-daza.
There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.
5 Ary hitan’ i Jehovah fa be ny faharatsian’ ny olona tambonin’ ny tany, ka izay fisainana rehetra avy amin’ ny fony dia ratsy ihany mandritra ny andro.
And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.
6 Ary Jehovah nanenina noho ny nanaovany ny olona tambonin’ ny tany, ka nalahelo ny fony.
And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.
7 Dia hoy Jehovah: Haringako tsy hisy ambonin’ ny tany ny olona izay noforoniko, hatramin’ ny olona ka hatramin’ ny biby fiompy sy ny biby mandady na mikisaka mbamin’ ny voro-manidina; fa manenina Aho noho ny nanaovako azy.
And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.
8 Fa Noa kosa nahita fitia teo imason’ i Jehovah.
But Noah had grace in the eyes of God.
9 Ary izao no tantaran’ i Noa: Noa dia lehilahy marina sady tsy nisy tsiny teo amin’ ny olona niara-belona taminy; eny, niara-nandeha tamin’ Andriamanitra Noa.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.
10 Ary Noa niteraka zanaka telo mirahalahy, dia Sema sy Hama ary Jafeta.
And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Ary simba ny tany teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra sady heni-doza;
And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways.
12 dia hitan’ Andriamanitra ny tany, ka, indro, efa simba izy; fa ny nofo rehetra samy efa nanimba ny lalany avy tambonin’ ny tany.
And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.
13 Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Noa: Ny faran’ ny nofo rehetra efa mby eto anatrehako, satria efa heni-doza ny tany noho ny amin’ olona, ka, indro, efa handringana azy mbamin’ ny tany Aho.
And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.
14 Koa manaova sambo-fiara ho anao amin’ ny hazo gofera; ary hasianao efitrefitra ny sambo-fiara, ka hopetahanao dity ao anatiny sy eo ivelany izy.
Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.
15 Ary toy izao no hanaovanao azy: hakiho telon-jato ny lavan’ ny sambo-fiara, hakiho dimam-polo ny sakany, ary hakiho telo-polo ny hahavony.
And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
16 Ary hasianao fidiran’ ny mazava ny sambo-fiara, ary amin’ ny hakiho iray no hahavitanao azy hatreo ambony; ary hasianao varavarana ny rindrin’ ny sambo-fiara; hataonao efitra telo mifanongoa izy.
You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.
17 Ary, indro, Izaho efa hahatonga ny safo-drano ambonin’ ny tany handringana ny nofo rehetra izay manam-nofonaina ambanin’ ny lanitra; dia ho faty izay rehetra eo amin’ ny tany.
For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.
18 Nefa kosa haoriko ny fanekeko aminao; ary hiditra ao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara ianao sy ny vadinao aman-janakao mbamin’ ny vinantonao vavy miaraka aminao.
But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
19 Ary ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra, dia ny nofo rehetra, hitondranao roa avy isan-karazany ho ao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara, hovelomina miaraka aminao; ho lahy sy vavy avy ireo.
And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.
20 Ny vorona, samy araka ny karazany avy; ary ny biby, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany, samy araka ny karazany avy, dia, roa avy samy araka ny karazany avy, dia roa avy isan-karazany no hankeo aminao hovelomina.
Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.
21 Ary analao ho anao ny zavatra rehetra izay mety ho fihinana, ka angòny ho eo aminao; dia ho fihinana ho anao sy ho an’ ireo koa izany.
And make a store of every sort of food for yourself and them.
22 Dia nataon’ i Noa izany; araka izay rehetra nandidian’ Andriamanitra azy no nataony.
And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.
The World is Destroyed by Water
