Kenehi 7
1 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Noa, haere mai koutou ko tou whare katoa ki roto ki te aaka; kua kite hoki ahau i a koe he tika ki toku aroaro i tenei whakatupuranga.
The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation.
2 Tangohia e koe etahi o nga kirehe pokekore, kia takiwhitu, te toa me tana uha: o nga kararehe poke hoki, kia takirua, te toa me tana uha:
Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.
3 Me nga manu ano hoki o te rangi, kia takiwhitu, te toa me te uha; kia ora ai he uri ki runga ki te mata o te whenua katoa.
In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.
4 Kia whitu ake hoki nga ra ka meatia e ahau kia ua te ua ki runga ki te whenua, kia wha tekau nga ra, kia wha tekau nga po; a ka whakangaromia atu e ahau i runga i te mata o te whenua nga mea ora katoa i hanga e ahau.
In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
5 A rite tonu ta Noa i mea ai ki a Ihowa katoa i whakahau ai ki a ia.
Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
6 Na e ono rau nga tau o Noa i te putanga mai o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua.
Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
7 Na ka tomo a Noa ratou tahi ko ana tama, ko tana wahine, ko nga wahine hoki a ana tama, ki roto ki te aaka, i te wehi i nga wai o te waipuke.
Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.
8 Me etahi o nga kirehe pokekore, o nga kirehe poke hoki, o nga manu, o nga mea katoa ano hoki e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua;
Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
9 I haere tatakirua ratou ki roto ki te aaka ki a Noa, te toa me te uha, i pera tonu me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a Noa.
went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
10 Na i muri iho i nga ra e whitu ka puta mai nga wai o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua.
After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.
11 No te ono rau o nga tau o te oranga o Noa, no te rua o nga marama, no te tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, no taua rangi ano i pakaru mai ai nga matapuna katoa o te rire nui, a ka whakatuwheratia nga matapihi o te rangi.
Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
12 A e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po, i ua ai te ua ki runga ki te whenua.
Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
13 No taua rangi pu ano i tomo ai a Noa, ratou ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta, nga tama a Noa, ratou tahi ko te wahine a Noa, ko nga wahine tokotoru ano hoki a ana tama, ki roto ki te aaka;
That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark.
14 Ratou ko nga kirehe mohoao katoa o ia ahua, o ia ahua, ko nga kararehe katoa o ia ahua, o ia ahua, ko nga mea ngoki katoa e ngokingoki nei i runga i te whenua, o ia ahua, o ia ahua, me nga manu katoa, o ia ahua, o ia ahua, me nga mea whai parira u katoa, o ia ahua, o ia ahua.
They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
15 Na ka haere ki roto ki te aaka ki a Noa, tatakirua o nga kikokiko katoa, o nga mea whai wairua ora.
They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
16 Ko nga mea i haere, i haere he toa he uha o nga kikokiko katoa, he pera tonu me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ai: a tutakina ana ia e Ihowa ki roto.
A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
17 A e wha tekau nga ra o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua; a ka nui haere nga wai, ka whakamanutia ake te aaka, a ka maiangi ake ki runga i te whenua.
The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.
18 Na ka kaha nga wai, a ka tino nui haere ki runga ki te whenua; a ka tere te aaka i runga i te kare o nga wai.
The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
19 Na kua tino kaha rawa nga wai ki runga ki te whenua; a ka taupokina nga maunga teitei katoa i raro i te rangi, a puta noa.
Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
20 Kotahi tekau ma rima nga whatianga i pari ake ai nga wai; a taupokina ana nga maunga.
The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
21 Na ka mate nga kikokiko katoa i korikori i runga i te whenua; te manu, te kararehe, te kirehe, nga mea ngoki katoa hoki i ngokingoki i runga i te whenua, me nga tangata katoa:
Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
22 Ko nga mea katoa kei roto nei i o ratou pongaihu te manawa ora, o nga mea katoa i te tuawhenua, i mate.
Everything on land that breathed, died.
23 A ngaro iho nga mea ora katoa i runga i te mata o te whenua, te tangata, te kararehe, nga mea ngokingoki, me te manu o te rangi; i whakangaromia atu ratou i runga i te whenua: a toe ake ko te kotahi o Noa, me nga mea i a ia, i roto i te aaka.
The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.
24 A kotahi rau e rima tekau nga ra i huri ai nga wai ki runga ki te whenua.
The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
The Great Flood
