< उत्पत्ति 7 >
1 परमप्रभुले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ र तेरा सबै जहान जहाजभित्र आओ । किनकि मेरो सामु यो पुस्तामा मैले तँलाई धर्मी देखेको छु ।
The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation.
2 हरेक जातका शुद्ध पशुबाट तैँले आफूसित सात भाले र सात पोथी ल्याउनू । अशुद्ध पशुहरूबाट चाहिँ तैँले दुईवटा अर्थात् भाले र पोथी ल्याउनू ।
Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.
3 अनि आकाशका पक्षीहरूबाट तिनीहरूको जातिलाई पृथ्वीको सतहमा जीवित राख्न सात जोडी भाले र पोथी ल्याउनू ।
In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.
4 किनकि अबको सात दिनमा म चालिस दिन र चालिस रात पृथ्वीमा पानी बर्साउनेछु । मैले बनाएको हरेक जीवित प्राणीलाई म पृथ्वीको सतहबाट नष्ट गर्नेछु ।”
In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
5 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ नोआले सबै गरे ।
Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
6 पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय हुँदा नोआ छ सय वर्षका थिए ।
Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
7 जलप्रलयको पानीको कारणले नोआ, तिनका छोराहरू, तिनकी पत्नी र तिनका बुहारीहरू सँगसँगै जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.
8 शुद्ध र अशुद्ध पशुहरू, पक्षीहरू र भुइँमा घस्रने हरेक प्राणी, परमेश्वरले नोआलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ
Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
9 भाले र पोथी गरी जोडी-जोडी नोआकहाँ आए र जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
10 सात दिनपछि पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलयको पानी पर्न लाग्यो ।
After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.
11 नोआको जीवनको छ सय वर्षको दोस्रो महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा विशाल अगाधका मूलहरू फुटे र आकाशका झ्यालहरू खुले ।
Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
12 चालिस दिन र चालिस रातसम्म पृथ्वीमा पानी परिरह्यो ।
Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
13 त्यही दिनमा नोआ, तिनका छोराहरू शेम, हाम र येपेत अनि तिनकी पत्नी र तिनका तिन जना बुहारी जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark.
14 हरेक जङ्गली जनावरको जात-जातअनुसार, हरेक पाल्तु पशुको जात-जातअनुसार, भुइँमा घस्रने हरेक घस्रने जन्तुको जात-जातअनुसार र पखेटा भएको हरेक पक्षीको जात-जातअनुसार सँगसँगै तिनीहरू जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
15 जीवनको सास हुने सबै प्राणीका जोडी-जोडी नोआकहाँ आएर जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
16 भित्र प्रवेश गरेका प्राणीहरू सबैका भाले र पोथी थिए । परमेश्वरले आज्ञा दिनुभएझैँ तिनीहरू भित्र प्रवेश गरे ।
A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
17 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले ढोका बन्द गरिदिनुभयो । अनि पृथ्वीमा चालिस दिनसम्म जलप्रलय भयो र पानीले जहाजलाई जमिनबाट माथि उचाल्यो ।
The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.
18 पानीले सारा पृथ्वीलाई पूर्ण रूपमा ढाक्यो अनि जहाज पानीको सतहमाथि तैरियो ।
The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
19 आकाशमुनिका सबै अग्ला-अग्ला पर्वतहरूलाई ढाक्ने गरी पृथ्वीमा पानी चौपट्टै भरियो ।
Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
20 पानी पर्वतहरूको टुप्पोमा सात मिटर माथिसम्म आयो ।
The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
21 पक्षीहरू, पालिने पशुहरू, जङ्गली जनावरहरू, जमिनमा ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा बसोबास गर्ने सबै प्राणी र सबै मानव-जाति जो पृथ्वीमा चलहल गर्थे, ती सबै मरे ।
Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
22 जमिनमा बस्ने सबै जीवित प्राणी जसले आ-आफ्ना नाकबाट जीवनको सास फेर्थे, ती सबै मरे ।
Everything on land that breathed, died.
23 यसरी, मानव-जातिदेखि ठुला जनावरहरू र घस्रने जन्तुसम्म पृथ्वीको सतहमा भएको हरेक प्राणीसाथै आकाशका चराचुरुङ्गीहरू मासिए । तिनीहरू सबै नै पृथ्वीबाट नष्ट गरिए । नोआ र तिनीसित जहाजमा हुनेहरू मात्र बाँचे ।
The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.
24 एक सय पचास दिनसम्म पृथ्वीमा पानी घटेन ।
The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
