< Genesisi 7 >
1 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Noa, “Pindai muareka iwe nemhuri yako yose nokuti ndakuona iwe kuti wakarurama murudzi urwu.
And the LORD said to Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark: for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Utore mhando dzemhuka dzose dzakanaka nomwe nomwe, mukono nehadzi yayo uye mbiri mbiri pamhando dzose dzemhuka dzisina kunaka, mukono nehadzi yayo,
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 uyewo nomwe nomwe pamhando dzose dzeshiri, mukono nehadzi, kuti uraramise marudzi azvo akasiyana-siyana munyika yose.
Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
4 Mazuva manomwe kubva zvino ndichanayisa mvura panyika kwamazuva makumi mana nousiku makumi mana, uye ndichabvisa pamusoro penyika zvisikwa zvipenyu zvose zvandakaita.”
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 destroy from the face of the earth.
5 Uye Noa akaita zvose zvaakarayirwa naJehovha.
And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
6 Noa akanga ava namakore mazana matanhatu okuberekwa panguva yakanaya mvura yamafashamu panyika.
And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
7 Uye Noa navanakomana vake nomukadzi wake navakadzi vavanakomana vake vakapinda muareka kuti vapunyuke pamvura yamafashamu.
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 Zviviri zviviri zvemhuka dzakanaka nedzisina kunaka, zviviri zviviri zveshiri nezvezvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika,
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every animal that creepeth upon the earth;
9 mukono nehadzi, zvakauya kuna Noa ndokupinda muareka, sezvakanga zvarayirwa naMwari kuna Noa.
There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 Uye shure kwamazuva manomwe mvura yamafashamu yakasvika panyika.
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 Mugore ramazana matanhatu roupenyu hwaNoa, pazuva regumi namanomwe romwedzi wechipiri, pazuva iro zvitubu zvose zvapakadzika zvakatubuka, uye masuo amafashamu okudenga akazarurwa.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 Uye mvura yakanaya panyika kwamazuva makumi mana nousiku makumi mana.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 Pazuva racho iroro, Noa navanakomana vake, Shemu, Hamu naJafeti, pamwe chete nomukadzi wake navakadzi vavanakomana vake vatatu, vakapinda muareka.
In the same 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 Vakanga vane mhuka dzose dzesango namarudzi adzo, nezvipfuwo zvose namarudzi azvo neshiri dzose namarudzi adzo, nezvose zvina mapapiro.
They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
15 Zviviri zviviri pazvisikwa zvose zvino upenyu mazviri zvakauya kuna Noa zvikapinda muareka.
And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which [is] the breath of life.
16 Mhuka dzaipinda dzaiva mukono nehadzi pazvipenyu zvose, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Noa naMwari. Ipapo Jehovha akamupfigira mukati.
And they that entered, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 Mafashamu akaramba achingouya panyika kwamazuva makumi mana, uye mvura sezvayakaramba ichiwanda yakasimudza areka pamusoro-soro penyika.
And the flood was forty days upon the earth: and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted above the earth.
18 Mvura zhinji yakasimuka uye ikawanda zvikuru panyika, uye areka ikayangarara pamusoro pemvura.
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth: and the ark moved upon the face of the waters.
19 Yakakwira kwazvo pamusoro penyika, uye makomo ose marefu ari pasi pedenga akafukidzwa.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills that [were] under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Mvura zhinji yakasimuka ikafukidza makomo kusvikira pamakubhiti gumi namashanu kudzika kubva pamusoro pawo.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail: and the mountains were covered.
21 Zvipenyu zvose zvinokambaira panyika zvakaparara, shiri, zvipfuwo, mhuka dzesango, zvisikwa zvose zvakafararira pamusoro penyika, namarudzi ose avanhu.
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 Zvinhu zvose zvakanga zvino kufema kwoupenyu mumhino dzazvo panyika zvakafa.
All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] on the dry [land], died.
23 Zvinhu zvose zvipenyu zvaiva pamusoro penyika zvakaparadzwa, vanhu nemhuka, nezvisikwa zvinokambaira panyika neshiri dzedenga zvakaparadzwa kubva panyika. Noa bedzi ndiye akasiyiwa navaya vaiva naye muareka.
And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping animals, and the fowl of heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth; and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.
24 Mvura zhinji yakafukidza nyika kwamazuva makumi mashanu.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
