and to be for to profane/begin: begin [the] man to/for to multiply upon face: surface [the] land: soil and daughter to beget to/for them

2 amadodana kaNkulunkulu abona ukuthi amadodakazi abantu ayemahle, bazikhethela abawafunayo bawathatha.

and to see: see son: type of [the] God [obj] daughter [the] man for pleasant they(fem.) and to take: marry to/for them woman: wife from all which to choose

3 UThixo wasesithi, “UMoya wami kawuyikuphikisana lomuntu ngokungapheliyo, ngoba yena ngowenyama nje; insuku zakhe zizakuba likhulu elilamatshumi amabili kuphela.”

and to say LORD not to judge spirit my in/on/with man to/for forever: enduring in/on/with which/that also he/she/it flesh and to be day his hundred and twenty year

4 AmaNefilimi ayesemhlabeni ngalezonsuku. Njalo langemva kwazo amadodana kaNkulunkulu angenela amadodakazi abantu azala lawo abantwana. Ayengamaqhawe ekadeni, amadoda odumo.

5 UThixo wabona ukuthi ukuxhwala kwabantu kwasekukukhulu kakhulu emhlabeni, njalo lokuthi zonke izinkanuko zeminakano yezinhliziyo zabo zaziyibubi kuphela sonke isikhathi.

and to see: see LORD for many distress: evil [the] man in/on/with land: country/planet and all intention plot heart his except bad: evil all [the] day: daily

6 UThixo wadabuka ngokuthi wayemenzile umuntu emhlabeni, ngakho inhliziyo yakhe yagcwala ubuhlungu.

and to be sorry: relent LORD for to make [obj] [the] man in/on/with land: country/planet and to hurt to(wards) heart his

7 Ngakho uThixo wasesithi, “Umuntu engamdalayo ngizamkhucula emhlabeni, abantu lezinyamazana, lezinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini, lezinyoni zemkhathini ngoba kuyangidabukisa ukuthi ngakwenza.”

and to say LORD to wipe [obj] [the] man which to create from upon face: surface [the] land: soil from man till animal till creeping and till bird [the] heaven for to be sorry: relent for to make them

8 Kodwa uNowa wathola umusa emehlweni kaThixo.

9 Lo ngumlando kaNowa. UNowa wayeyindoda elungileyo, engelasici phakathi kwabantu ngesikhathi aphila ngaso, njalo wabambelela kuNkulunkulu.

11 Umhlaba wawuxhwalile phambi kukaNkulunkulu njalo ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu.

and to ruin [the] land: country/planet to/for face: before [the] God and to fill [the] land: country/planet violence

12 UNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi umhlaba wawusuxhwale njani, ngoba bonke abantu emhlabeni basebehamba ngezindlela zabo ezixhwalileyo.

and to see: see God [obj] [the] land: country/planet and behold to ruin for to ruin all flesh [obj] way: conduct his upon [the] land: country/planet

13 Ngakho uNkulunkulu wasesithi kuNowa, “Ngizabatshabalalisa bonke abantu, ngoba umhlaba ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu ngenxa yabo. Ngeqiniso ngizababhubhisa bona kanye lomhlaba.

and to say God to/for Noah end all flesh to come (in): fulfill to/for face: before my for to fill [the] land: country/planet violence from face: because their and look! I to ruin them with [the] land: country/planet

14 Ngakho zakhele umkhumbi ngezigodo zesihlahla sokubaza; wenze amakamelo kuwo, uwuhuqe ngenhlaka ngaphakathi langaphandle.

16 Uwenzele uphahla, utshiye ngaphansi kophahla intuba eyingxenye yelunga lengalo ukufika phezulu. Ufake umnyango eceleni komkhumbi njalo wenze isigcawu saphansi, esaphakathi laphakathi kanye lesaphezulu.
