Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Noana asami'ne, Maka ama mopafima menima mani'naza vahepina kagrake fatgo nera mani'nanke'na negagoe. E'igu kagrane nagaka'anena ventefi mareriho.
2 Ngena lezinyamazana eziyisikhombisa ezemihlobo yonke yezinyamazana ezihlanzekileyo, enduna lensikazi, lezimbili ezemihlobo yonke yezinyamazana ezingcolileyo, enduna lensikazi yayo,
Kase avima hanagu avusese zagagafafintira 7ni'a aravere aravere zamavarentetere huo. Ana nehunka avusese osu zagagafafintira magoke arave zanavrentetere huo.

7 UNowa lamadodana akhe, lomkakhe kanye labomalukazana bakhe bangena emkhunjini ukuze baphephe emanzini kazamcolo.
Ko' runaku nehige'za, Noa'ene nenaro'ene, mofavre zaga'ane anoferahe'zane ventefi mareri'naze.
8 Ngazimbili izinyamazana ezihlanzekileyo lezingcolileyo, ezezinyoni lezezinanakazana zonke ezihuquzela emhlabathini,

9 ezinduna lezinsikazi zeza kuNowa zangena emkhunjini, njengokulaywa kukaNowa nguNkulunkulu.
10 Kwathi ngemva kwensuku eziyisikhombisa amanzi kazamcolo eza emhlabeni.
Hagi 7ni'a zagegna manitageno, kora erigafa huno rigeno, ti hageno refite'ne.

Noa'a 600'a zagegafu manitegeno 2 ikana 17tini zupa mopamo'a ruhagro higeno mopa agu'afinti tina hanatino tusi'a ti hage'ne. Tusi'a ko' ruvava huno havi avufgafinti hatihati huno tusi'a ti hage'ne.
12 Izulu lana emhlabeni okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane.
Ana nehuno masane, hanine 40'a knafi ruose kora ruvava huno vu'ne.
13 Ngalolosuku uNowa lamadodana akhe, uShemu, uHamu loJafethi, kanye lomkakhe labomalukazana bakhe bamadodana akhe womathathu bangena emkhunjini.

16 Izinyamazana ezazingena zazingezinduna lezinsikazi ezezinto zonke eziphilayo, njengalokho uNkulunkulu ayekulaye uNowa. Emva kwalokho uThixo wasemvalela phakathi.
Anante Anumzamo'ma kema hu'neaza huno aravere aravere mika ufre varetageno, Ra Anumzamo'a kafana erigi zamante'ne.
17 Okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane impophoma zaphikelela zithululeka emhlabeni, kwathi ngokwanda kwamanzi awuphakamisa umkhumbi waba ngaphezulu komhlaba.
Ranko'ma ru'neana zagene hanine 40'a knafi kora ruvava huno tusi'a ti hageno ana ventea mopafinti erisga huno mareri'ne.
18 Amanzi akhwela anda kakhulu emhlabeni, umkhumbi wandenda phezu kwamanzi.
Ana nehuno timo'a reviteno marenerino mopa refitegeno, ventemo'a timofo agofetu me'ne.
19 Akhwela kakhulu emhlabeni, kwathi zonke izintaba eziphakemeyo ngaphansi kwawo wonke amazulu zasibekelwa.
Hagi timo'a mago'ene hageno marerino osi agonaramine, zaza agonaraminena mika erinakri vagare'ne.

21 Zonke izinto eziphilayo ezihamba phezu komhlaba zafa, izinyoni, izifuyo, izinyamazana zeganga, zonke izidalwa ezazitshatshama phezu komhlaba, loluntu lonke.
