UGenesisi 6
1 Kwathi abantu sebesanda ngobunengi emhlabeni, bezala amadodakazi,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, naʻe fanauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kinautolu,
2 amadodana kaNkulunkulu abona ukuthi amadodakazi abantu ayemahle, bazikhethela abawafunayo bawathatha.
Pea mamata ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tangata ʻoku nau hoihoifua; pea naʻa nau fili mei ai ʻae ngaahi uaifi ʻo maʻu kiate kinautolu.
3 UThixo wasesithi, “UMoya wami kawuyikuphikisana lomuntu ngokungapheliyo, ngoba yena ngowenyama nje; insuku zakhe zizakuba likhulu elilamatshumi amabili kuphela.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “E ʻikai ʻahiʻahi maʻuaipē ʻa hoku Laumālie mo e tangata, he ko e kakano foki ia: ka ʻe hoko hono ngaahi ʻaho ki he taʻu ʻe teau ma uofulu.”
4 AmaNefilimi ayesemhlabeni ngalezonsuku. Njalo langemva kwazo amadodana kaNkulunkulu angenela amadodakazi abantu azala lawo abantwana. Ayengamaqhawe ekadeni, amadoda odumo.
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ai ʻae kakai lalahi ʻi māmani; pea hili ia foki, ʻi he ʻalu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tangata, pea nau fānau kiate kinautolu, naʻe mālohi lahi ʻae kau tangata ko ia, ʻae kau tangata ongoongo ʻoe muʻaki kuonga.
5 UThixo wabona ukuthi ukuxhwala kwabantu kwasekukukhulu kakhulu emhlabeni, njalo lokuthi zonke izinkanuko zeminakano yezinhliziyo zabo zaziyibubi kuphela sonke isikhathi.
Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lahi ʻae angahala ʻae tangata ʻi māmani, pea kuo kovi maʻuaipē ʻae filioʻi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi mahalo ʻa hono loto.
6 UThixo wadabuka ngokuthi wayemenzile umuntu emhlabeni, ngakho inhliziyo yakhe yagcwala ubuhlungu.
Pea naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi kuo ne ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi māmani, pea naʻe mamahi ai ʻa hono finangalo.
7 Ngakho uThixo wasesithi, “Umuntu engamdalayo ngizamkhucula emhlabeni, abantu lezinyamazana, lezinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini, lezinyoni zemkhathini ngoba kuyangidabukisa ukuthi ngakwenza.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “Te u fakaʻauha mei he funga ʻo māmani ʻae tangata ʻaia kuo u ngaohi; ko e tangata, mo e manu, mo e meʻa totolo, mo e fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā; he ʻoku ou fakatomala ʻi heʻeku ngaohi ʻakinautolu.”
8 Kodwa uNowa wathola umusa emehlweni kaThixo.
Ka naʻe ʻofeina ʻa Noa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
9 Lo ngumlando kaNowa. UNowa wayeyindoda elungileyo, engelasici phakathi kwabantu ngesikhathi aphila ngaso, njalo wabambelela kuNkulunkulu.
Ko eni ʻae tala hohoko kia Noa ko e tangata angatonu mo haohaoa ʻa Noa ʻi hono toʻutangata, pea naʻe ʻaʻeva ʻa Noa mo e ʻOtua.
10 UNowa wayelamadodana amathathu: UShemu, uHamu loJafethi.
Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻe Noa ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti.
11 Umhlaba wawuxhwalile phambi kukaNkulunkulu njalo ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu.
Naʻe fakalielia foki ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻe fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he fakamālohi.
12 UNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi umhlaba wawusuxhwale njani, ngoba bonke abantu emhlabeni basebehamba ngezindlela zabo ezixhwalileyo.
Pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ki māmani, pea vakai kuo kovi ia; he naʻe fakalieliaʻi ʻe he kakano kotoa pē hono hala ʻi māmani.
13 Ngakho uNkulunkulu wasesithi kuNowa, “Ngizabatshabalalisa bonke abantu, ngoba umhlaba ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu ngenxa yabo. Ngeqiniso ngizababhubhisa bona kanye lomhlaba.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Noa, “Kuo hoko ki hoku ʻao ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe kakano kotoa pē; he kuo fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he fakamālohi ʻiate kinautolu; pea vakai, te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he māmani.
14 Ngakho zakhele umkhumbi ngezigodo zesihlahla sokubaza; wenze amakamelo kuwo, uwuhuqe ngenhlaka ngaphakathi langaphandle.
Ngaohi kiate koe hā vaka mei he ʻakau ko e kofa; te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻana ʻi he vaka, pea te ke vali ʻaki ia ʻae pulu ʻi loto mo tuʻa.
15 Uzawakha kanje: Umkhumbi kawube ngamalunga ezingalo ezingamakhulu amathathu ubude, ububanzi bube zingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu lezingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu ukuphakama kwawo.
Pea ko eni ʻae anga ʻo hono ngaohi, Ko hono lōloa ʻoe vaka ko e hanga ʻe onongeau, ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe teau pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu.
16 Uwenzele uphahla, utshiye ngaphansi kophahla intuba eyingxenye yelunga lengalo ukufika phezulu. Ufake umnyango eceleni komkhumbi njalo wenze isigcawu saphansi, esaphakathi laphakathi kanye lesaphezulu.
Te ke ngaohi ha kātupa ʻi he vaka pea te ke fakaʻosi ia ʻi he hanga ʻe ua ki ʻolunga; pea te ke ʻai ʻae matapā ʻoe vaka ʻi hono kaokao; pea te ke ngaohi ʻae fata ʻi lalo, mo hono ua, mo hono tolu, [ki ʻolunga].
17 Ngizathumela uzamcolo emhlabeni ukubhubhisa konke okuphilayo ngaphansi kwezulu, zonke izidalwa eziphefumulayo. Yonke into emhlabeni izabhubha.
Pea vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻae lōmaki ʻoe ngaahi vai ki māmani, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakano kotoa pē mei he lalo langi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui; pea ʻe mate ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.
18 Kodwa ngizakwenza isivumelwano lawe, njalo wena uzangena emkhunjini, wena lamadodana akho lomkakho kanye labomalukazana bakho.
Ka te u fokotuʻumaʻu mo koe ʻeku fuakava; pea te ke haʻu ki he vaka, ʻa koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo ho uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo ho ngaahi foha mo koe.
19 Kuzamele ulethe emkhunjini okubili kwezidalwa zonke eziphilayo, okuduna lokusikazi, uzigcine ziphila zilawe.
Pea te ke ʻomi ki he vaka ʻo tautau toko ua mei he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mo koe; ko e fefine mo e tangata.
20 Okubili kwemihlobo yonke yezinyoni, okwemihlobo yonke yezinyamazana lokwezinanakazana zonke ezihuquzela emhlabathini zizakuza kuwe zizogcinwa ziphila.
Ko e fanga manupuna ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e fanga manu ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻi hono faʻahinga, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae toko ua ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻui.
21 Kumele uthathe yonke imihlobo yokudla okuzadliwa, ukulondolozele wena kanye lazo.”
Pea ke toʻo kiate koe ʻi he meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoku kai, pea te ke tānaki ia kiate koe; pea ko e meʻakai ia kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu.”
22 UNowa wakwenza konke njengokulaywa kwakhe nguNkulunkulu.
Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Noa; ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ko ia naʻa ne fai.
The World is Destroyed by Water
