UGenesisi 6
1 Kwasekusithi abantu sebeqala ukwanda ebusweni bomhlaba, basebezalelwa amadodakazi,
Amewo dzi, eye wosɔ gbɔ ŋutɔ ɖe anyigba dzi. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la,
2 amadodana kaNkulunkulu ebona amadodakazi abantu ukuthi wona ayemahle; asezithathela abafazi kuwo wonke awakhethayo.
mawu viwo kpɔ be amegbetɔwo ƒe nyɔnuwo dze tugbe, eye woɖe wo dometɔ siwo nyo wo ŋu la.
3 INkosi yasisithi: UMoya wami kawuyikulwisana lomuntu njalonjalo, ngoba laye eyinyama; kodwa izinsuku zakhe zizakuba yiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili.
Tete Yehowa gblɔ be, “Mele be nye Gbɔgbɔ naganɔ amegbetɔwo me tegbee o, elabena amegbetɔwo wɔ nu vɔ̃ le goawo katã me. Woƒe agbemeŋkekewo anye ƒe alafa ɖeka kple blaeve.”
4 Iziqhwaga zazisemhlabeni ngalezonsuku; lemva kwalokho-ke, lapho amadodana kaNkulunkulu esengenile emadodakazini abantu, asewazalela abantwana. Wona ayengamaqhawe asendulo, engamadoda alebizo.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me kple emegbe gɔ̃ hã la, esime mawu viwo ɖea amegbetɔwo ƒe nyɔnuwo la, wo viwo zua ame dzɔatsuwo, eye ŋutinya geɖewo nɔ wo ŋu.
5 INkosi yasibona ukuthi ububi bomuntu bukhulu emhlabeni, lokuthi konke ukuceba kwemicabango yenhliziyo yakhe kwakukubi kuphela usuku lonke.
Esime Yehowa kpɔ ale si gbegbe amegbetɔwo vɔ̃ɖie, eye wòkpɔ be woƒe agbenɔnɔ ɖo ta nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ko gbɔ la,
6 INkosi yasizisola ngokuthi yayimenzile umuntu emhlabeni, yasidabuka enhliziyweni yayo.
evee ŋutɔ be yewɔ amegbetɔ. Nu sia gbã dzi nɛ.
7 INkosi yasisithi: Ngizamchitha umuntu engamdalayo ngimsuse ebusweni bomhlaba, kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni, kuze kube kokuhuquzelayo, lenyonini zamazulu; ngoba ngiyazisola ukuthi ngikwenzile.
Tete Yehowa gblɔ be, “Matsrɔ̃ amegbetɔƒome blibo si mewɔ la ɖa le anyigba dzi. Ɛ̃, matsrɔ̃ lãwo, xewo kple nu gbagbe siwo tana la hã, elabena evem be mewɔ wo.”
8 Kodwa uNowa wazuza umusa emehlweni eNkosi.
Ke Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le Noa ŋu.
9 Lezi yizizukulwana zikaNowa. UNowa wayeyindoda elungileyo epheleleyo esizukulwaneni sakhe; uNowa wahamba loNkulunkulu.
Noa ƒe ŋutinya yi ale: Noa nye ame dzɔdzɔe kple ame maɖifɔ le ame siwo nɔ anyi le eŋɔli la dome, eye wòzɔ kple Mawu.
10 UNowa wasezala amadodana amathathu, uShemu, uHamu loJafethi.
Ŋutsuvi etɔ̃ nɔ esi: Woawoe nye Sem, Ham kple Yafet.
11 Umhlaba wonakaliswa-ke phambi kukaNkulunkulu, lomhlaba wagcwaliswa ngobudlwangudlwangu.
Azɔ la, nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ganɔ edzi yim wu tsã le xexea me godoo, eye Mawu kpɔ be nu vlo wɔwɔ na xexea me gblẽ keŋ.
12 UNkulunkulu wasebona umhlaba, khangela-ke wonakalisiwe, ngoba yonke inyama yonakalise indlela yayo emhlabeni.
Mawu kpɔ ale si xexea me va gblẽe, elabena ame siwo katã nɔ xexea me la ƒe zɔzɔme gblẽ le anyigba dzi.
13 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuNowa: Ukuphela kwayo yonke inyama sekuze phambi kwami, ngoba umhlaba ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu ngenxa yabo; khangela-ke, ngizabachitha kanye lomhlaba.
Ale Mawu gblɔ na Noa be, “Mele ameawo katã tsrɔ̃ ge, elabena woƒe nu vlo wɔwɔ xɔ anyigba la dzi. Matsrɔ̃ wo kple anyigba la siaa.
14 Zakhele umkhumbi ngezigodo zegofere, wenze izigaba phakathi komkhumbi, uwuhuqe ngengcino ngaphakathi langaphandle.
Tsɔ dzati kpa aɖakaʋu, eye nàsi aŋɔ nɛ. Wɔ yaxɔƒewo ɖe eŋu kpe ɖo, eye nàwɔ nudzraɖoƒewo ɖe eme ƒe afi sia afi.
15 Nansi indlela ozawenza ngayo; ingalo ezingamakhulu amathathu yibude bomkhumbi, ingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu yibubanzi bawo, ingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu yikuphakama kwawo.
Na wòadidi mita alafa ɖeka blaene, akeke mita blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃, akɔkɔ mita wuietɔ̃ kple afã.
16 Iwindi uzalenza emkhunjini, uliqede libe yingalo kusukela phezulu, ufake umnyango womkhumbi ehlangothini lwawo, uwenze ube lesitezi esaphansi, esesibili, lesesithathu.
Ɖe fesre mita afã ɖe xɔ gbagbã la te ƒo xlã aɖakaʋu la. Wɔ dzisasã etɔ̃, etetɔ, titinatɔ kple etametɔ ɖe aɖakaʋu la me, eye nàde ʋɔtru ɖeka tɔdziʋu la ƒe axadzi.
17 Mina-ke, khangela, ngizakwehlisela uzamcolo wamanzi phezu komhlaba, ukuchitha yonke inyama, okukuyo umoya wempilo, isuke ngaphansi kwamazulu. Konke okusemhlabeni kuzaphela.
“Kpɔ ɖa, mana tsi naɖɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye wòatsrɔ̃ nu sia nu si me agbegbɔgbɔ le la. Nu sia nu si le anyigba dzi la atsrɔ̃.
18 Kodwa ngizamisa isivumelwano sami lawe; njalo uzangena emkhunjini, wena lamadodana akho lomkakho labafazi bamadodana akho kanye lawe.
“Ke mele nu blam kpli wò be makpɔ tawò le aɖakaʋu la me nànɔ dedie kple srɔ̃wò kple viwò ŋutsuwo kple wo srɔ̃wo.
19 Lakukho konke okuphilayo, kuyo yonke inyama, okubili kwakho konke, uzakuletha emkhunjini, ukulondoloze kuphila lawe, kuzakuba ngokuduna lokusikazi;
Nàtsɔ nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi eveve, atsu kple asi ade aɖakaʋu la me be woanɔ agbe le gbɔwò.
20 enyonini ngohlobo lwayo, lesifuyweni ngohlobo lwaso, lakukho konke okuhuquzelayo komhlaba ngohlobo lwakho, okubili kwakho kuzakuza kuwe, ukulondoloze kuphila.
Xevi ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe, eveve, lã ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe eveve kple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si tana la eveve ava gbɔwò be nàde wo aɖakaʋu la me.
21 Lawe-ke, zithathele kukho konke ukudla okudliwayo, njalo ukubuthelele kuwe, futhi kuzakuba ngokwakho lokwazo okokudla.
Dzra nuɖuɖu si woawo kple miawo siaa miahiã la ɖo ɖe aɖakaʋu la me.”
22 Wasekwenza uNowa; njengakho konke uNkulunkulu ayemlaye khona wenza njalo.
Eye Noa wɔ nu sia nu abe ale si Mawu ɖoe nɛ ene.
The World is Destroyed by Water
