Genesisy 6

1 Nangetseketseke ty ia’ ondaty an-tane atoy vaho nisamak’ ampela

And Noe was five hundred years old, and he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. And it came to pass when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,

2 le nioni’ o anan’ Añahareo te montramontra o anak’ ampela’ ondatio naho nañenga ze nitea’e.

that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose.

3 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Tsy hifanjomotse am’ ondatio nainai’e ty Troko, amy t’ie nofotse, le ho zato-tsi-roapolo taoñe ty andro’e.

And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain amongst these men for ever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 Ambone’ tane atoy tañ’andro iizay o Nefalèo naho mbe tafara ka, le vinonje’ o anan’ Añahareo o anak’ ampela’ ondatio vaho nanaranake. Toe nifanalolahy haehae iereo, nilahitsiay.

Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore [children] to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.

5 Nivazoho’ Iehovà ty halosoran-katse­reha’ ty tane toy naho te nitolon-kara­tiañe avao ty fivetsevetsen-tro’ iareo.

And the Lord God, having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,

6 Le naneñena’ Iehovà te namboatse ondaty an-tane atoy vaho nanahelo añ’ arofo’e ao.

then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered [it] deeply.

7 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Ho faopaoheko ami’ty tane toy ondaty nitsenèkoo, fonga ondaty naho biby naho o raha misitsi­tseo vaho o voron-tiokeo fa aneñenako t’ie namboareñe.

And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.

8 Fe nahaoni-pañisohañe am-pihaino’ Iehovà t’i Nòake.

But Noe found grace before the Lord God.

9 izay ty fanoñona’ i Nòake. Vantañe t’i Nòake, tsy nanan-tahiñe amo foko’eo, vaho nindre fañavelo aman’ Añahare t’i Noake.

And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God.

10 Nisamake telo t’i Nòake: i Seme, i Kame vaho Ièfete.

And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.

11 Ie amy zay nilo-tserek’ añatrefan’ Añahare naho nilifotse ty hapia­rote­ñe ty tane toy.

But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.

12 Nivazoho i Andrianañahare ty tane toy le naheo’e te lò-tsereke naho songa nimontamontan-tsata ondatio.

And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.

13 Aa le hoe t’i Andria­nañahare amy Nòake, Fa miatrek’ ahy ty figadoña’ ze atao nofotse, amy te lifo-kapiaroteñe ty tane toy ty am’ iereo, Inao, t’ie hatraoko ro­tsake an-tane atoy.

And the Lord God said to Noe, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.

14 Aa le mandranjia lakam-poloay ami’ty mendoraveñe, le mandranjia efetsefetse amy lakañey vaho hosoro harahake naho solike ty alafe’e vaho ty añate’e.

Make therefore for yourself an ark of square timber; you shall make the ark in compartments, and you shall pitch it within and without with pitch.

15 Zao ty hamboare’o aze. Ho kiho telon-jato ty an-dava’ i lakam-poloaiy naho kiho limampolo ty am-pohe’e vaho kiho telo-polo ty haabo’e.

And thus shall you make the ark; three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the breadth, and thirty cubits the height of it.

16 Andranjio tafo i lakam-poloaiy vaho ampijebaño kiho raike ty ambone’e; le ano lalambey añ’ila’ i lakam-poloaiy; le andranjio vatsa ambane naho añivo vaho ambone.

You shall narrow the ark in making it, and in a cubit above you shall finish it, and the door of the ark you shall make on the side; with lower, second, and third storeys you shall make it.

17 Toe Izaho le izaho ty hinday fisorotombahan-drano an-tane atoy han­dro­tsake ze nofotse mikofò-beloñe ambane’ i likerañey; kila ho mongotse ze an-tane atoy.

And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatever things are upon the earth shall die.

18 Fe ihe ty hañorizako fañina, le himoaha’o i lakam-poloaiy rekets’ o ana-dahi’oo naho i vali’oy vaho o valin’ ana-dahi’oo.

And I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall enter into the ark, and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19 Hendese’o mb’an-dakam-poloay ao ty kiroe kiroe amy ze hene raha veloñe, amy ze kila nofotse; le ho velome’o mindre ama’areo, ty lahi’e naho ty vave’e.

And of all cattle and of all reptiles and of all wild beasts, even of all flesh, you shall bring by pairs of all, into the ark, that you may feed them with yourself: male and female they shall be.

20 Amo voroñeo ty amo karaza’eo, naho o hareo ty amo karaza’eo, naho ze fonga biby misitsitsy an-tane atoy ty amo karaza’eo, songa roe ama’e ty hiheo mb’ama’o mb’eo hameloma’o.

Of all winged birds after their kind, and of all cattle after their kind, and of all reptiles creeping upon the earth after their kind, pairs of all shall come in to you, male and female to be fed with you.

21 Fonga añandeso ze karaza-mahakama le atontono ho azo, ho kamae’ areo vaho ho hàne’ iareo.

And you shall take to yourself of all kinds of food which you eat, and you shall gather them to yourself, and it shall be for you and them to eat.

22 Nanoe’ i Nòake. I nandilian’ Añaharey ty nanoe’e.

And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.

The World is Destroyed by Water
