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.
And Yahweh said to Noah, Enter thou and all thy house, into the ark, —for, thee, have I seen righteous before me, in 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:
Of all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female, —and, of the beasts that are not clean, shall be two a male and his female.
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.
Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, —to keep alive a seed on the face of all 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.
For in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, —so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.
5 A rite tonu ta Noa i mea ai ki a Ihowa katoa i whakahau ai ki a ia.
And Noah did, —according to all that Yahweh commanded him.
6 Na e ono rau nga tau o Noa i te putanga mai o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua.
Now, Noah, was six hundred years old, —when, the flood, came, even waters on 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.
So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him into the ark, —from before the waters 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;
Of the beasts that were clean, and of the beasts that were not clean, —and of the birds, and everything that creepeth on 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.
two and two, went they in unto Noah, into the ark male and female, —as God commanded Noah.
10 Na i muri iho i nga ra e whitu ka puta mai nga wai o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua.
And it came to pass, in the seven days, —that the waters of the flood, came on 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.
In the six hundredth year, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.
12 A e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po, i ua ai te ua ki runga ki te whenua.
(And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth, —forty days and forty 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;
On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah’s sons, —and Noah’s wife, and his sons’ three wives with them 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, and all the wild-beasts after their kind and all the tame-beasts after their kind, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth after their kind, —and all the birds after their kind, every bird of every wing.
15 Na ka haere ki roto ki te aaka ki a Noa, tatakirua o nga kikokiko katoa, o nga mea whai wairua ora.
So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark, —two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit of life.
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.
And, they that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered, as God commanded him, —and Yahweh shut him in round about.
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.
And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, —and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above 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.
And the waters prevailed and increased greatly, on the earth, —and the ark went its way on the face of the waters.
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.
Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, —so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:
20 Kotahi tekau ma rima nga whatianga i pari ake ai nga wai; a taupokina ana nga maunga.
fifteen cubits upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became covered.
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:
And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, —and all mankind.
22 Ko nga mea katoa kei roto nei i o ratou pongaihu te manawa ora, o nga mea katoa i te tuawhenua, i mate.
All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground 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.
Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth, —so that there was left—only Noah and they that were with him in the ark.
24 A kotahi rau e rima tekau nga ra i huri ai nga wai ki runga ki te whenua.
Thus prevailed the waters on the earth, —a hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
