Uumama 6
1 Yeroo namoonni biyya lafaa irratti baayʼachuu jalqabanii intallan dhalataniifitti,
And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 Ilmaan Waaqaa akka intallan namootaa babbareedoo taʼan argan; isaan keessaas abbuma filatan fuudhan.
The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose.
3 Yommus Waaqayyo, “Namni waan foon taʼeef Hafuurri koo bara baraan isa keessa hin jiraatu; barri jireenya isaas waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi digdama taʼa” jedhe.
And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 Bara sanaa fi ergasiis Nefiiliimonni lafa irra turan; ilmaan Waaqaas yommuu gara intallan namaa dhaqanitti ijoollee dhalchan. Isaanis gootota durii warra beekamoo turan.
Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.
5 Waaqayyos akka jalʼinni namaa lafa irratti baayʼatee, wanni namni yeroo hunda garaa isaatti yaadu hundinuus jalʼaa qofa taʼe arge.
And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,
6 Waaqayyos waan lafa irratti nama uumeef ni gaabbe; garaan isaas ni gadde.
It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,
7 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo, “Ani sanyii namaa kan ofii kootiin uume lafa irraa nan balleessa. Namaa fi horii, uumama lafa irra munyuuqu, simbirroota samii nan balleessa; ani isaan uumuu kootti gaabbeeraatii” jedhe.
He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 Nohi garuu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti surraa argate.
But Noe found grace before the Lord.
9 Seenaan Nohii fi maatii isaa kanaa dha. Nohi namoota bara isaa turan gidduutti nama qajeelaa, nama hirʼina hin qabne kan Waaqa wajjin deddeebiʼu ture.
These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and perfect man in his generations, he walked with God.
10 Nohi ilmaan sadii dhalche; isaanis: Seem, Haamii fi Yaafet.
And he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth.
11 Lafti fuula Waaqaa duratti faalamtee jeequmsaan guutamte turte.
And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity.
12 Sababii namoonni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa isaanii faalaniif, Waaqni akka lafti faalamte arge.
And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth, )
13 Kanaafuu Waaqni Nohiin akkana jedhe; “Waan lafti sababii isaaniitiin jeequmsaan guutamteef, ani nama hunda nan balleessa; kunoo ani dhugumaan lafaa fi isaan nan barbadeessa.
He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Ati muka Goofar irraa doonii tolfadhu; keessa isaattis kutaa garaa garaa qopheessi; keessaa fi duuba isaas hapheedhaan duuchi.
Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without.
15 Haalli ati ittiin doonicha tolchitu kanaa dha; dheerina isaa dhundhuma dhibbaa sadii, balʼina isaa dhundhuma shantama, ol dheerina isaa dhundhuma soddoma godhi.
And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Doonichaaf bantii dhundhuma tokko ol kaʼu hojjedhu; cinaacha isaa irrattis balbala baasi; kanas abbaa darbii sadii jechuunis kan gadii, kan gidduutii fi kan gubbaa godhii hojjedhu.
Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 Kunoo, ani uumamawwan lubbu qabeeyyii hunda samii jalaa balleessuuf bishaan badiisaa lafatti nan fida; wanni lafa irra jiraatu hundinuus ni bada.
Behold I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, under heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be consumed.
18 Si wajjin garuu kakuu nan gala; atis doonii seenta; atii fi ilmaan kee, niitiin keetii fi niitonni ilmaan keetiis ni seentu.
And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
19 Uumamawwan lubbu qabeeyyii hundumaa keessaa akka isaan si wajjin jiraataniif lama lama, kormaa fi dhalaa doonichatti galchi.
And of every living creature of all flesh, thou shalt bring two of a sort into the ark, that they may live with thee: of the male sex, and the female.
20 Simbirroota keessaa akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, horii keessaa akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan keessaas akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, lama lama taʼanii jiraachuuf gara kee dhufu.
Of fowls according to their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of every thing that creepeth on the earth according to its kind; two of every sort shall go in with thee, that they may live.
21 Waan nyaatamu hunda keessaa waa fuudhii of biratti walitti qabi! Kunis nyaata keetii fi nyaata isaanii ni taʼa.”
Thou shalt take unto thee of all food that may be eaten, and thou shalt lay it up with thee: and it shall be food for thee and them.
22 Nohi akkuma Waaqni isa ajajetti waan hunda hojjete.
And Noe did all things which God commanded him.
The World is Destroyed by Water
