UGenesisi 8
1 UNkulunkulu wasemkhumbula uNowa, lakho konke okuphilayo, laso sonke isifuyo, esasilaye emkhunjini. UNkulunkulu wavunguzisa umoya phezu komhlaba, lamanzi etsha.
Hagi timo'a mopa refite'negeno Anumzamo'a Noanku'ene mika zagagafama ventefi mani'nagu agesa nentahino, zaho atufegeno zaho erino tina retufegeno taneno urami'ne.
2 Kwasekumiswa imithombo yokujula lamasango empophoma zamazulu, lezulu elivela emazulwini lanqandwa.
Anumzamo'a mopafinti'ma hanati'nea tina renkani nereno, monafinti ru'nea kora eri refitegeno ruse'ne.
3 Lamanzi etsha esuka emhlabeni, ehamba ebuyela; amanzi asencipha ekupheleni kwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu.
Hagi 150'a knamofo agu'afi timo'a akoheno taneno urami'ne.
4 Umkhumbi wasuhlala ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngosuku lwetshumi lesikhombisa lwenyanga, phezu kwezintaba zeArarathi.
Hagi 7ni ikamofona, 17ni zupa ana ventemo'a eramino Ararati agonare eme runtrako hu'ne.
5 Lamanzi aya esetsha kwaze kwaba senyangeni yetshumi; ngeyetshumi ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga kwabonakala ingqonga zezintaba.
Timo'a akoheno taneno uneramigeno 10ni ikamofo ese knazupa, mago'a agonamo'za osi'a hanaku hazage'za ke'naze.
6 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane, uNowa wasevula iwindi lomkhumbi ayelenzile,
Hagi henka 40'a zagegna maniteno Noa'a zaho'ma erikana eri anagino,
7 wasethuma iwabayi, lazulazula njalo, aze atsha amanzi emhlabeni.
kotikoti nama huntege vuteno, vano vano nehigeno, timo'a taneno uramigeno mopa efore hu'ne.
8 Wasethuma ijuba lisuka kuye, ukubona ukuthi amanzi asemalutshwana yini ebusweni bomhlaba;
Hagi mopamo'ma ho'mu hu'nesigu, Noa'a mago maho nama huntegeno,
9 kodwa ijuba kalitholanga indawo yokuphumula kwengaphansi yonyawo lwalo, ngakho labuyela kuye emkhunjini, ngoba amanzi ayekhona ebusweni bomhlaba wonke. Waseselula isandla sakhe, walithatha, walingenisa kuye emkhunjini.
hareno vano hiana manisnia zana omaneno tinke me'negeno ete e'ne. Egeno Noa'a aza antegame teno ventefi avre vazi'ne.
10 Waselinda futhi ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; wasephinda elithuma ijuba lisuka emkhunjini.
Avrentegeno 7ni'agna manitegeno, Noa'a ete maho nama huntegeno hareno vu'ne. Hagi ana maho namamo'a kasefa olivi zafa asina atasino agipi haninkofino ana kinagage ehanati'ne. Ana higeno Noa keteno, hago timo'a taneno uramie huno agesa antahi'ne.
11 Ijuba laselibuya kuye ngesikhathi santambama, khangela-ke, ihlamvu lomhlwathi elisanda ukuquntwa lalisemlonyeni walo; ngakho uNowa wasesazi ukuthi amanzi asemalutshwana phezu komhlaba.
12 Waselinda futhi ezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa; waselithuma ijuba; kalabe lisabuyela kuye futhi.
Mago'ene 7ni'agna maniteno, ana mahona huntegeno hareno vuteno ete ome'ne.
13 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha lanye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, amanzi atsha emhlabeni. UNowa wasesusa isifulelo somkhumbi, wabona, khangela-ke, ubuso bomhlaba babomile.
Noa'a 601ni'a kafuma nehigeno, pusa ikamofona ese knazupa, mika ama mopafina timo'a ho'mu higeno, Noa'a ana ventemofona amumpafinti anasgeno keana, mopamo'a ho'mu huvagare'negeno ke'ne.
14 Njalo ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa lwenyanga, umhlaba wawusuwomile.
Anante 2 ikamofona 27ni knazupa mopamo'a ho'mu huvarenegeno Noa'a ke'ne.
15 UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kuNowa, esithi:
Anumzamo'a amanage huno Noana asmi'ne,
16 Phuma emkhunjini, wena lomkakho lamadodana akho labafazi bamadodana akho kanye lawe.
kagrane nagaka'anena ventefintira atreta fegi'a atiramiho. Ventefima mani'naza zagagafane, namaramine, mika mopafi vano nehaza zagaraminena, zamavare atrege'za mopafi vu'za eza nehu'za kase hakare hu'za maniho.
17 Konke okuphilayo okulawe, kuyo yonke inyama, eyenyoni leyesifuyo leyakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela emhlabeni, phuma lakho; ukuze kuzale kwande emhlabeni, kuzale, kwande phezu komhlaba.
18 UNowa wasephuma, lamadodana akhe, lomkakhe, labafazi bamadodana akhe kanye laye.
Anage hige'za Noaki, nenaroki, mofavre naga'ane, anoferahe'zane atirami'naze.
19 Yonke inyamazana, konke okuhuquzelayo, layo yonke inyoni, konke okuhamba emhlabeni, ngenhlobo zakho, kwaphuma emkhunjini.
Hagi ana zagagafane, ne'onse zagaramine, nama zagane, mika vanoma nehaza zagaramina, zamagrare zamagrare erizogi'za ventefintira atirmi'naze.
20 UNowa waseyakhela iNkosi ilathi; wathatha kuso sonke isifuyo esihlambulukileyo, lakuyo yonke inyoni ehlambulukileyo, wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwelathi.
Anantera, Noa'a Ra Anumzamofonte Kresramana vu ita trohuteno, mago'a avusese zagagafafinti'ene avusese namafinti'enena aheno mika Kresramana vu'ne.
21 INkosi yasisizwa uqhatshi olumnandi; iNkosi yasisithi enhliziyweni yayo: Kangisayikuphinda ngiqalekise umhlaba ngenxa yomuntu, ngoba ukuceba kwenhliziyo yomuntu kubi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe; futhi kangisayikuphinda ngitshaye konke okuphilayo njengalokhu ngenzile.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Kresramana vu'nea mana'a nentahino muse nehuno amanage hu'ne, vahe'mo'za kumi'ma hanaza zankura mago'anena ama mopa eri havizana osugahue. Hakare vahe'mo'za mofavrema mani'nazareti'ma eno ama knare'ma eana, havi antahi'zampinke mani'naze. Hakare zagaramima zamasimu nentaza zagaramina menima huaza hu'na zamahe refiotegahue.
22 Ngazo zonke izinsuku zomhlaba, ukuhlanyela lokuvuna, lamakhaza lokukhudumala, lehlobo lobusika, lemini lobusuku, kakuyikuphela.
Ama ana mopa me'nenkeno maka'zana me'nena hoza negri'za, kafigahaze. Zasi'ma hu kna ne'enkeno, amuhoma hu kna egahie. Ko' aru knane zagegnanena nemenkeno, zagene hanine nehanigeno ana maka'zana vaga oregahie.
