UGenesisi 6
1 Kwasekusithi abantu sebeqala ukwanda ebusweni bomhlaba, basebezalelwa amadodakazi,
And it was that began humankind to become numerous on [the] surface of the ground and daughters they were born to them.
2 amadodana kaNkulunkulu ebona amadodakazi abantu ukuthi wona ayemahle; asezithathela abafazi kuwo wonke awakhethayo.
And they saw [the] sons of God [the] daughters of humankind that [were] good they and they took for themselves wives from all whom they chose.
3 INkosi yasisithi: UMoya wami kawuyikulwisana lomuntu njalonjalo, ngoba laye eyinyama; kodwa izinsuku zakhe zizakuba yiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili.
And he said Yahweh not will remain spirit my in humankind for ever in that also he [is] flesh and they will be days his one hundred and twenty year[s].
4 Iziqhwaga zazisemhlabeni ngalezonsuku; lemva kwalokho-ke, lapho amadodana kaNkulunkulu esengenile emadodakazini abantu, asewazalela abantwana. Wona ayengamaqhawe asendulo, engamadoda alebizo.
The Nephilim they were on the earth in the days those and also after thus when they went [the] sons of God into [the] daughters of humankind and they bore children to them they [were] the mighty [men] who [were] from long ago [the] men of name.
5 INkosi yasibona ukuthi ububi bomuntu bukhulu emhlabeni, lokuthi konke ukuceba kwemicabango yenhliziyo yakhe kwakukubi kuphela usuku lonke.
And he saw Yahweh that [was] great [the] evil of humankind on the earth and every inclination of [the] thoughts of heart his only [was] evil every day.
6 INkosi yasizisola ngokuthi yayimenzile umuntu emhlabeni, yasidabuka enhliziyweni yayo.
And he regretted Yahweh that he had made humankind on the earth and he was pained to heart his.
7 INkosi yasisithi: Ngizamchitha umuntu engamdalayo ngimsuse ebusweni bomhlaba, kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni, kuze kube kokuhuquzelayo, lenyonini zamazulu; ngoba ngiyazisola ukuthi ngikwenzile.
And he said Yahweh I will wipe humankind which I created from on [the] surface of the ground from humankind unto animal[s] unto creeping thing[s] and unto [the] bird[s] of the heavens for I regret that I have made them.
8 Kodwa uNowa wazuza umusa emehlweni eNkosi.
And Noah he found favor in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
9 Lezi yizizukulwana zikaNowa. UNowa wayeyindoda elungileyo epheleleyo esizukulwaneni sakhe; uNowa wahamba loNkulunkulu.
These [are] [the] accounts of Noah Noah [was] a man righteous blameless he was in generations his with God he walked about Noah.
10 UNowa wasezala amadodana amathathu, uShemu, uHamu loJafethi.
And he fathered Noah three sons Shem Ham and Japheth.
11 Umhlaba wonakaliswa-ke phambi kukaNkulunkulu, lomhlaba wagcwaliswa ngobudlwangudlwangu.
And was corrupt the earth before God and was filled the earth violence.
12 UNkulunkulu wasebona umhlaba, khangela-ke wonakalisiwe, ngoba yonke inyama yonakalise indlela yayo emhlabeni.
And he saw God the earth and there! it was corrupt for had corrupted all flesh way its on the earth.
13 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuNowa: Ukuphela kwayo yonke inyama sekuze phambi kwami, ngoba umhlaba ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu ngenxa yabo; khangela-ke, ngizabachitha kanye lomhlaba.
And he said God to Noah [the] end of all flesh [is] coming before me for is full the earth violence because of them and here [am] I about to destroy them with the earth.
14 Zakhele umkhumbi ngezigodo zegofere, wenze izigaba phakathi komkhumbi, uwuhuqe ngengcino ngaphakathi langaphandle.
Make for yourself an ark of wood of gopher nests you will make the ark and you will cover it from inside and from outside with pitch.
15 Nansi indlela ozawenza ngayo; ingalo ezingamakhulu amathathu yibude bomkhumbi, ingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu yibubanzi bawo, ingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu yikuphakama kwawo.
And this [is] how you will make it [will be] three hundred cubit[s] [the] length of the ark [will be] fifty cubit[s] breadth its and [will be] thirty cubit[s] height its.
16 Iwindi uzalenza emkhunjini, uliqede libe yingalo kusukela phezulu, ufake umnyango womkhumbi ehlangothini lwawo, uwenze ube lesitezi esaphansi, esesibili, lesesithathu.
A roof - you will make for the ark and to a cubit you will finish it from to above and [the] entrance of the ark in side its you will put lower [decks] second [decks] and third [decks] you will make it.
17 Mina-ke, khangela, ngizakwehlisela uzamcolo wamanzi phezu komhlaba, ukuchitha yonke inyama, okukuyo umoya wempilo, isuke ngaphansi kwamazulu. Konke okusemhlabeni kuzaphela.
And I here I [am] about to bring the flood water on the earth to destroy all flesh which [is] in it [the] breath of life from under the heavens all that [is] on the earth will die.
18 Kodwa ngizamisa isivumelwano sami lawe; njalo uzangena emkhunjini, wena lamadodana akho lomkakho labafazi bamadodana akho kanye lawe.
And I will establish covenant my with you and you will go into the ark you and sons your and wife your and [the] wives of sons your with you.
19 Lakukho konke okuphilayo, kuyo yonke inyama, okubili kwakho konke, uzakuletha emkhunjini, ukulondoloze kuphila lawe, kuzakuba ngokuduna lokusikazi;
And of every living [thing] of all flesh two of everything you will bring into the ark to preserve alive with you male and female they will be.
20 enyonini ngohlobo lwayo, lesifuyweni ngohlobo lwaso, lakukho konke okuhuquzelayo komhlaba ngohlobo lwakho, okubili kwakho kuzakuza kuwe, ukulondoloze kuphila.
Of the bird[s] to kind its and of the animal[s] to kind its from every creeping thing of the ground to kind its two of everything they will come to you to preserve alive.
21 Lawe-ke, zithathele kukho konke ukudla okudliwayo, njalo ukubuthelele kuwe, futhi kuzakuba ngokwakho lokwazo okokudla.
And you take for yourself some of all food which is eaten and you will gather [it] to yourself and it will become for you and for them food.
22 Wasekwenza uNowa; njengakho konke uNkulunkulu ayemlaye khona wenza njalo.
And he did Noah according to all that he commanded him God so he did.
The World is Destroyed by Water
