उत्पत्ति 7

1 परमप्रभुले नोआलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तँ र तेरा सबै जहान जहाजभित्र आओ । किनकि मेरो सामु यो पुस्तामा मैले तँलाई धर्मी देखेको छु ।

And the LORD said unto Noah: 'Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before Me in 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 ।

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, each with his mate; and of the beasts that are not clean two and two, each with his mate;

3 अनि आकाशका पक्षीहरूबाट तिनीहरूको जातिलाई पृथ्वीको सतहमा जीवित राख्‍न सात जोडी भाले र पोथी ल्याउनू ।

of the fowl also of the air, seven and seven, male and female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all 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 ।”

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I blot out from off the face of the earth.'

5 परमप्रभुले आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ नोआले सबै गरे ।

And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

6 पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय हुँदा नोआ छ सय वर्षका थिए ।

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

7 जलप्रलयको पानीको कारणले नोआ, तिनका छोराहरू, तिनकी पत्‍नी र तिनका बुहारीहरू सँगसँगै जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

8 शुद्ध र अशुद्ध पशुहरू, पक्षीहरू र भुइँमा घस्रने हरेक प्राणी, परमेश्‍वरले नोआलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएझैँ

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the ground,

9 भाले र पोथी गरी जोडी-जोडी नोआकहाँ आए र जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।

there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

10 सात दिनपछि पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलयको पानी पर्न लाग्यो ।

And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

11 नोआको जीवनको छ सय वर्षको दोस्रो महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा विशाल अगाधका मूलहरू फुटे र आकाशका झ्यालहरू खुले ।

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 चालिस दिन र चालिस रातसम्म पृथ्वीमा पानी परिरह्‍यो ।

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 त्यही दिनमा नोआ, तिनका छोराहरू शेम, हाम र येपेत अनि तिनकी पत्‍नी र तिनका तिन जना बुहारी जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, 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, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort.

15 जीवनको सास हुने सबै प्राणीका जोडी-जोडी नोआकहाँ आएर जहाजभित्र प्रवेश गरे ।

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.

16 भित्र प्रवेश गरेका प्राणीहरू सबैका भाले र पोथी थिए । परमेश्‍वरले आज्ञा दिनुभएझैँ तिनीहरू भित्र प्रवेश गरे ।

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.

17 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले ढोका बन्द गरिदिनुभयो । अनि पृथ्वीमा चालिस दिनसम्म जलप्रलय भयो र पानीले जहाजलाई जमिनबाट माथि उचाल्यो ।

And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.

18 पानीले सारा पृथ्वीलाई पूर्ण रूपमा ढाक्यो अनि जहाज पानीको सतहमाथि तैरियो ।

And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19 आकाशमुनिका सबै अग्‍ला-अग्‍ला पर्वतहरूलाई ढाक्‍ने गरी पृथ्वीमा पानी चौपट्टै भरियो ।

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.

20 पानी पर्वतहरूको टुप्पोमा सात मिटर माथिसम्म आयो ।

Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21 पक्षीहरू, पालिने पशुहरू, जङ्गली जनावरहरू, जमिनमा ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा बसोबास गर्ने सबै प्राणी र सबै मानव-जाति जो पृथ्वीमा चलहल गर्थे, ती सबै मरे ।

And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both fowl, and cattle, and beast, and every swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth, and every man;

22 जमिनमा बस्‍ने सबै जीवित प्राणी जसले आ-आफ्ना नाकबाट जीवनको सास फेर्थे, ती सबै मरे ।

all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, whatsoever was in the dry land, 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 ।

And He blotted out every living substance which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping thing, and fowl of the heaven; and they were blotted out from the earth; and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.

24 एक सय पचास दिनसम्म पृथ्वीमा पानी घटेन ।

And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

The Great Flood
