UGenesisi 7
1 UThixo wathi kuNowa, “Ngena emkhunjini, wena kanye lendlu yakho yonke, ngoba ngikufumane ulungile kulesi isizukulwane.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, kia Noa, “Haʻu koe mo ho fale kotoa pē ki he vaka; he kuo u vakai kiate koe ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi he toʻutangata ni.
2 Ngena lezinyamazana eziyisikhombisa ezemihlobo yonke yezinyamazana ezihlanzekileyo, enduna lensikazi, lezimbili ezemihlobo yonke yezinyamazana ezingcolileyo, enduna lensikazi yayo,
Te ke toʻo kiate koe ʻo tautau toko fitu ʻi he fanga manu maʻa kotoa pē ko e tangata mo e fefine; pea tautau toko ua ʻi he fanga manu taʻemaʻa, ko e tangata mo e fefine.
3 njalo eziyisikhombisa zezinyoni zemihlobo yonke, ezinduna lezinsikazi, ukuze kugcinakale uhlobo lwazo zonke emhlabeni.
Ke tautau toko fitu ʻi he fanga manu foki ʻoe ʻatā, ko e tangata mo e fefine; ke fakamoʻui ʻae hako ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
4 Ngemva kwensuku eziyisikhombisa kusukela manje ngizathumela izulu emhlabeni okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane, njalo ngizatshabalalisa sonke isidalwa esiphilayo engasenzayo emhlabeni.”
He ʻoku toe ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea te u pule ke ʻuha ki māmani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu; pea te u fakaʻauha mei he funga ʻo māmani ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē kuo u ngaohi.”
5 UNowa wakwenza konke lokho akulaywa nguThixo.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Noa ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia.
6 UNowa wayeleminyaka engamakhulu ayisithupha yobudala ekufikeni kukazamcolo emhlabeni.
Pea naʻe onongeau ʻae taʻu ʻo Noa, feʻunga mo e hoko ʻae lōmaki ʻoe ngaahi vai ki māmani.
7 UNowa lamadodana akhe, lomkakhe kanye labomalukazana bakhe bangena emkhunjini ukuze baphephe emanzini kazamcolo.
Pea naʻe hū ʻa Noa ki he vaka mo hono ngaahi foha, mo hono uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo hono ngaahi foha mo ia, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi vai ʻoe lōmaki.
8 Ngazimbili izinyamazana ezihlanzekileyo lezingcolileyo, ezezinyoni lezezinanakazana zonke ezihuquzela emhlabathini,
Ko e fanga manu maʻa, mo e fanga manu taʻemaʻa, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he fonua,
9 ezinduna lezinsikazi zeza kuNowa zangena emkhunjini, njengokulaywa kukaNowa nguNkulunkulu.
Naʻe ʻalu atu kia Noa ʻi he vaka ʻo tautau toko ua, ko e tangata mo e fefine, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa.
10 Kwathi ngemva kwensuku eziyisikhombisa amanzi kazamcolo eza emhlabeni.
Pea ʻi heʻene hili mai ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, naʻe hoko ki māmani ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe lōmaki.
11 Ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha wokuphila kukaNowa, ngosuku lwetshumi lesikhombisa lwenyanga yesibili, ngalolosuku yonke imithombo yolwandle olukhulu yadabuka, lamasango amanzi amazulu avuleka.
ʻI he taʻu ʻe onongeau ʻoe moʻui ʻa Noa, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, mo hono hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, ko e ʻaho ko ia naʻe fakapā hake ai ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe moana lahi, pea naʻe toʻo ai ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe langi.
12 Izulu lana emhlabeni okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane.
Pea naʻe tō ʻae ʻuha ki māmani, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu.
13 Ngalolosuku uNowa lamadodana akhe, uShemu, uHamu loJafethi, kanye lomkakhe labomalukazana bakhe bamadodana akhe womathathu bangena emkhunjini.
ʻI he ʻaho pe ko ia naʻe hū ai ki he vaka ʻa Noa, mo Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Noa, mo e uaifi ʻo Noa, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻe toko tolu ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo kinautolu.
14 Babelazo zonke izinyamazana zeganga kusiya ngemihlobo yazo, zonke izifuyo kusiya ngemihlobo yazo, zonke izinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini kusiya ngemihlobo yazo lazozonke izinyoni kusiya ngemihlobo yazo, yonke into elempiko.
ʻAkinautolu, mo e fanga manu ʻoe vao ʻi hono faʻahinga kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he fonua ʻi hono faʻahinga, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻi hono faʻahinga, ʻae manu kapakau kehekehe kotoa pē.
15 Zeza kuNowa ngazimbili zonke izidalwa ezilomphefumulo wokuphila zangena emkhunjini.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu kia Noa ki he vaka, ʻo tautau toko ua ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui.
16 Izinyamazana ezazingena zazingezinduna lezinsikazi ezezinto zonke eziphilayo, njengalokho uNkulunkulu ayekulaye uNowa. Emva kwalokho uThixo wasemvalela phakathi.
Pea ko ia naʻe hū ai, naʻe ʻalu ko e tangata mo e fefine ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia; pea naʻe tāpuni ia ʻi ai ʻe Sihova.
17 Okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane impophoma zaphikelela zithululeka emhlabeni, kwathi ngokwanda kwamanzi awuphakamisa umkhumbi waba ngaphezulu komhlaba.
Pea naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻae lōmaki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu; pea naʻe hake ʻae ngaahi vai, pea maʻanu ai ʻae vaka, pea naʻe tētē ia ʻi ʻolunga, ʻi he fonua.
18 Amanzi akhwela anda kakhulu emhlabeni, umkhumbi wandenda phezu kwamanzi.
Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai, pea tupu lahi ʻi he funga fonua; pea naʻe tētē ʻae vaka ʻi he fukahi vai.
19 Akhwela kakhulu emhlabeni, kwathi zonke izintaba eziphakemeyo ngaphansi kwawo wonke amazulu zasibekelwa.
Pea naʻe mālohi ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he funga fonua; pea naʻe fakangalo ai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he lalo langi.
20 Amanzi akhwela asibekela izintaba zatshona okudlula izingalo ezingamatshumi amabili.
Naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai; naʻe hake ia ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu, pea naʻe ʻūfia ai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga.
21 Zonke izinto eziphilayo ezihamba phezu komhlaba zafa, izinyoni, izifuyo, izinyamazana zeganga, zonke izidalwa ezazitshatshama phezu komhlaba, loluntu lonke.
Pea naʻe mate ʻae kakano kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ngaue ʻi māmani, ko e fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu lalata, mo e fanga manu ʻoe vao, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he fonua, mo e tangata kotoa pē:
22 Yonke into ephefumula impilo ngamakhala ayo nxa isemhlabathini owomileyo yafa.
Ko ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi honau avaʻi ihu ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui, ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he fonua mōmoa naʻe mate.
23 Yonke into ephilayo phezu komhlaba yakhukhulwa; abantu lezinyamazana lezinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini kanye lezinyoni zemkhathini kwakhuculwa emhlabeni. NguNowa kuphela owasalayo, lalabo ababelaye emkhunjini.
Pea naʻe fakaʻauha ʻae meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ʻi he funga kelekele, ʻae tangata, mo e fanga manu, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā; pea naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he māmani; pea naʻe toe pe ʻa Noa, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he vaka.
24 Amanzi agcwala emhlabeni okwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu.
Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi māmani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe teau ma nimangofulu.
The Great Flood
