Genesisy 6
1 Ary raha vao nihamaro ny olona tambonin’ ny tany ka teraka zazavavy maro,
And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,
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.
and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.
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 Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man — to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an 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.
The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them — they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of 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 Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;
6 Ary Jehovah nanenina noho ny nanaovany ny olona tambonin’ ny tany, ka nalahelo ny fony.
and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself — unto 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 Jehovah saith, 'I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'
8 Fa Noa kosa nahita fitia teo imason’ i Jehovah.
And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.
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] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually.
10 Ary Noa niteraka zanaka telo mirahalahy, dia Sema sy Hama ary Jafeta.
And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Ary simba ny tany teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra sady heni-doza;
And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
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 seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way 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, 'An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying 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 thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress;
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] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;
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.
a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side, — lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it.
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.
'And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire.
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.
'And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee;
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 of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort] thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they.
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.
Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive.
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 thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.'
22 Dia nataon’ i Noa izany; araka izay rehetra nandidian’ Andriamanitra azy no nataony.
And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.
The World is Destroyed by Water
