Genesisi 6
1 Vanhu vakati vatanga kuwanda panyika uye vanasikana vakaberekwa kwavari,
It came about when mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them,
2 vanakomana vaMwari vakaona kuti vanasikana vavanhu vakanga vakanaka, uye vakazviwanira upi zvake wavakasarudza.
that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were attractive. They took for themselves wives, any of them that they chose.
3 Ipapo Jehovha akati, “Mweya wangu haungarambi uchigara mumunhu nokusingaperi, nokuti inyama; mazuva ake achava makore zana namakumi maviri.”
Yahweh said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind forever, for they are flesh. They will live 120 years.”
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.
Giants were on the earth in those days, and also afterward. This happened when the sons of God married daughters of men, and they had children with them. These were the mighty men of old, men of renown.
5 Jehovha akaona kuti kuipa kwomunhu panyika kwakanga kuri kukuru sei, uye kuti ndangariro dzomwoyo wake dzakanga dzakaipa bedzi nguva dzose.
Yahweh saw that the wickedness of mankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.
6 Jehovha akazvidemba kuti akanga aita munhu panyika, uye mwoyo wake wakazara nokurwadziwa.
Yahweh regretted that he had made mankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
7 Saka Jehovha akati, “Ndichabvisa vanhu pamusoro penyika ivo vanhu vandakaisa, vanhu nemhuka, nezvisikwa zvinokambaira pamusoro pevhu, neshiri dzedenga, nokuti ndinozvidemba kuti ndakazviita.”
So Yahweh said, “I will wipe away mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth; both mankind and the larger animals, and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8 Asi Noa akawana nyasha pamberi paJehovha.
But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
9 Iyi ndiyo rondedzero yezvaNoa. Noa akanga ari munhu akarurama, asina chaanopomerwa pakati pavanhu venguva yake, uye akafamba naMwari.
These were the events concerning Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
10 Noa akanga ana vanakomana vatatu vaiti: Shemu, Hamu naJafeti.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Zvino nyika yakanga yaora pamberi paMwari uye yakanga yazara nokurwisana.
The earth was corrupt before God, and it was filled with violence.
12 Mwari akaona kuti nyika yakanga yaora sei, nokuti vanhu vose panyika vakanga vaodza nzira dzavo.
God saw the earth; behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 Saka Mwari akati kuna Noa, “Ndava kuzoisa magumo kuvanhu vose, nokuti nyika yazara nokurwisana nokuda kwavo. Zvirokwazvo ndiri kuzovaparadza vose pamwe chete nenyika.
God said to Noah, “I can see that it is time to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Indeed, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Saka iwe zviitire areka yomuti womusipuresi; uite makamuri mukati mayo uye uiname nenamo mukati nokunze.
Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch within and without.
15 Uku ndiko kuvaka kwaunofanira kuiita: Areka inofanira kureba makubhiti mazana matatu, upamhi hwayo huve makubhiti makumi mashanu uye makubhiti makumi matatu pakukwirira kwayo.
This is how you will make it: The length of the ark is to be three hundred cubits; the breadth of it is to be fifty cubits, and the height of it is to be thirty cubits.
16 Uite windo uchipoteredza areka ugosiya kubhiti rimwe chete kumusoro. Uise mukova parutivi rweareka uye uite muturikidzwa wapasi, wapakati nowapamusoro.
Make a roof for the ark, and finish it at a cubit from the top of the side. Place a door in the side of the ark and make a lower, a second, and a third deck.
17 Ndichauyisa mvura yamafashamu pamusoro penyika kuti iparadze zvipenyu zvose pasi pedenga, zvisikwa zvose zvino upenyu mazviri. Zvinhu zvose zviri panyika zvichaparara.
Listen, I am about to bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh that has in it the breath of life from under heaven. Everything that is on the earth will die.
18 Asi ndichasimbisa sungano yangu newe, uye uchapinda muareka, iwe navanakomana vako uye nomukadzi wako uye navakadzi vavanakomana vako vari pauri.
But I will establish my covenant with you. You will come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
19 Unofanira kuisa muareka zviviri zviviri pazvisikwa zvipenyu zvose, chikono nechikadzi, kuti zvirarame pamwe chete newe.
Of every living creature of all flesh, two of every kind you must bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you, both male and female.
20 Zviviri zviviri kubva kumhando dzose dzeshiri, nokubva kumhando dzose dzemhuka nokuzvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika, zvichauya kwauri kuti zvichengetwe zviri zvipenyu.
Of the birds after their kind, and of the larger animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.
21 Unofanira kutora zvokudya zvamarudzi ose zvinofanira kudyiwa ugozvichengeta kuti zvigova zvokudya zvako nezvazvo.”
Gather for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and store it, so that it will be food for you and for them.”
22 Noa akaita zvose sezvaakanga arayirwa naMwari.
So Noah did this. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
The World is Destroyed by Water
