Genesisi 6
1 Vanhu vakati vatanga kuwanda panyika uye vanasikana vakaberekwa kwavari,
Anthu atayamba kuchuluka pa dziko lapansi ndi kubereka ana aakazi,
2 vanakomana vaMwari vakaona kuti vanasikana vavanhu vakanga vakanaka, uye vakazviwanira upi zvake wavakasarudza.
ana aamuna a Mulungu anaona kuti ana aakazi a anthuwo anali okongola. Ndipo anakwatira aliyense amene anamusankha.
3 Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Mweya wangu haungarambi uchigara mumunhu nokusingaperi, nokuti inyama; mazuva ake achava makore zana namakumi maviri.”
Tsono Yehova anati, “Sindilola kuti chipwirikiti chikuchitikachi chipitirire mpaka muyaya, pakuti iye ndi munthu; masiku a moyo wake adzakhala zaka 120.”
4 VaNefirimu vakanga vari panyika mumazuva iwayo, uyewo mushure maizvozvo, vanakomana vaMwari vakapinda kuvasikana vavanhu vakaita vana navo. Vakanga vari mhare dzakare, vanhu vaiva nomukurumbira.
Masiku amenewo komanso pambuyo pake, pa dziko lapansi panali Anefili, anthu amphamvu ndiponso otchuka. Anthuwa ndi amene ankabadwa ana a Mulungu aja atakwatira ana aakazi a anthu.
5 Jehovha akaona kuti kuipa kwomunhu panyika kwakanga kuri kukuru sei, uye kuti ndangariro dzomwoyo wake dzakanga dzakaipa bedzi nguva dzose.
Pamene Yehova anaona kuti kuyipa kwa munthu pa dziko lapansi kunali kwakukulu ndi kuti nthawi zonse amalingalira ndi kukhumbira kuchita zoyipa zokhazokha,
6 Jehovha akazvidemba kuti akanga aita munhu panyika, uye mwoyo wake wakazara nokurwadziwa.
Yehova anamva chisoni kuti analenga munthu ndi kumuyika pa dziko lapansi, ndipo anawawidwa mtima.
7 Saka Jehovha akati, “Ndichabvisa vanhu pamusoro penyika ivo vanhu vandakaisa, vanhu nemhuka, nezvisikwa zvinokambaira pamusoro pevhu, neshiri dzedenga, nokuti ndinozvidemba kuti ndakazviita.”
Choncho Yehova anati, “Ndidzafafaniza munthu, nyama, zonse zokwawa, ndi mbalame za mu mlengalenga pa dziko lapansi, pakuti ndikumva chisoni kuti ndinazilenga zimenezi.”
8 Asi Noa akawana nyasha pamberi paJehovha.
Koma Yehova anamukomera mtima Nowa.
9 Iyi ndiyo rondedzero yezvaNoa. Noa akanga ari munhu akarurama, asina chaanopomerwa pakati pavanhu venguva yake, uye akafamba naMwari.
Mbiri ya Nowa inali yotere: Nowa anali munthu wolungama ndi wopanda tchimo pakati pa anthu a mʼbado wake. Ndipo anayenda ndi Mulungu.
10 Noa akanga ana vanakomana vatatu vaiti: Shemu, Hamu naJafeti.
Nowa anabereka ana aamuna atatu: Semu, Hamu ndi Yafeti.
11 Zvino nyika yakanga yaora pamberi paMwari uye yakanga yazara nokurwisana.
Chiwawa chinadzaza pa dziko lapansi kotero kuti dziko linakhala lowonongeka pamaso pa Mulungu.
12 Mwari akaona kuti nyika yakanga yaora sei, nokuti vanhu vose panyika vakanga vaodza nzira dzavo.
Mulungu atayangʼana, anaona kuti dziko layipadi chifukwa cha makhalidwe oyipa a anthu onse pa dziko lapansi.
13 Saka Mwari akati kuna Noa, “Ndava kuzoisa magumo kuvanhu vose, nokuti nyika yazara nokurwisana nokuda kwavo. Zvirokwazvo ndiri kuzovaparadza vose pamwe chete nenyika.
Ndipo Mulungu anati kwa Nowa, “Ndatsimikiza mtima kuti ndiwononge anthu onse, pakuti dziko lapansi ladzaza ndi ntchito zawo zoyipa. Ndithudi ndiwawononga pamodzi ndi zonse za pa dziko.
14 Saka iwe zviitire areka yomuti womusipuresi; uite makamuri mukati mayo uye uiname nenamo mukati nokunze.
Tsono udzipangire chombo cha matabwa a mtengo wanjale; mʼkati mwake upange zipinda ndipo upake phula mʼkati ndi kunja.
15 Uku ndiko kuvaka kwaunofanira kuiita: Areka inofanira kureba makubhiti mazana matatu, upamhi hwayo huve makubhiti makumi mashanu uye makubhiti makumi matatu pakukwirira kwayo.
Uchipange motere: Chombo chikhale mamita 140 mulitali, mamita 23 mulifupi ndi mamita 13 mu msinkhu wake.
16 Uite windo uchipoteredza areka ugosiya kubhiti rimwe chete kumusoro. Uise mukova parutivi rweareka uye uite muturikidzwa wapasi, wapakati nowapamusoro.
Uchipangire denga ndi kuchimaliza ndi zenera la masentimita makumi asanu. Uyike khomo mʼmbali mwa chombocho ndi kupanga zipinda zosanjikana; chapansi, chapakati ndi chapamwamba.
17 Ndichauyisa mvura yamafashamu pamusoro penyika kuti iparadze zvipenyu zvose pasi pedenga, zvisikwa zvose zvino upenyu mazviri. Zvinhu zvose zviri panyika zvichaparara.
Ndidzagwetsa mvula ya chigumula pa dziko lapansi kuti ndiwononge zamoyo zonse za pansi pa thambo ndipo chilichonse cha pa dziko lapansi chidzafa.
18 Asi ndichasimbisa sungano yangu newe, uye uchapinda muareka, iwe navanakomana vako uye nomukadzi wako uye navakadzi vavanakomana vako vari pauri.
Koma ndidzachita pangano langa ndi iwe. Iwe, ana ako aamuna, mkazi wako ndi akazi a ana ako nonse mudzalowa mʼchombocho.
19 Unofanira kuisa muareka zviviri zviviri pazvisikwa zvipenyu zvose, chikono nechikadzi, kuti zvirarame pamwe chete newe.
Iwe udzalowa mʼchombocho ndi zolengedwa zamoyo zonse ziwiriziwiri, chachimuna ndi chachikazi, kuti zisungike ndi moyo pamodzi ndi iwe.
20 Zviviri zviviri kubva kumhando dzose dzeshiri, nokubva kumhando dzose dzemhuka nokuzvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika, zvichauya kwauri kuti zvichengetwe zviri zvipenyu.
Udzatenga ziwiriziwiri za mitundu yonse ya mbalame, mitundu yonse ya nyama, ndi mitundu yonse ya zokwawa kuti zikhale ndi moyo.
21 Unofanira kutora zvokudya zvamarudzi ose zvinofanira kudyiwa ugozvichengeta kuti zvigova zvokudya zvako nezvazvo.”
Udzatengenso chakudya cha mtundu uliwonse ndi kuchisunga kuti inu ndi nyamazo muzidzadya.”
22 Noa akaita zvose sezvaakanga arayirwa naMwari.
Nowa anachita zonse monga Mulungu anamulamulira.
