1 Waxayna noqotay, markii ay bilaabatay in dadku ku bataan dhulka oo ay gabdho u dhashaan,
When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
2 in wiilashii Ilaah arkeen gabdhihii dadku inay wanaagsan yihiin, oo ay guursadeen in alla intay doorteen oo dhan.
some of the men who (belonged to/believed in) God saw that some of the women who did not (belong to/believe in) God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
3 Rabbiguna wuxuu yidhi, Ruuxaygu lama sii dagaallami doono dadka weligiis, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa jidh, laakiinse cimrigiisu wuxuu noqon doonaa boqol iyo labaatan sannadood.
Then Yahweh said, “[I will] not [allow] my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).”
4 Waagaas waxaa dhulka joogay dad waaweyn oo xoog badan, taas ka dibna kolkii wiilashii Ilaah u yimaadeen gabdhihii dadka, oo ay carruur u dhaleen, isla kuwaas waxay ahaayeen nimankii xoogga badnaa oo waagii hore ahaa raggii caanka ahaa.
There were [giants called] Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time [some of the Nephil] men who (belonged to/believed in) God had sex [EUP] with women who did not (belong to/believe in) God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
5 Rabbiguna wuxuu arkay in dadka sharkiisu ku badan yahay dhulka, iyo in male kasta oo fikirrada qalbigiisu ay shar keliya yihiin had iyo goorba.
Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
6 Rabbiguna wuxuu ka qoomamooday abuuriddii uu dadka ku abuuray dhulka, wuuna caloolxumaaday.
Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
7 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan dhulka ka baabbi'in doonaa dadkii aan abuuray; dadka, iyo weliba dugaagga, iyo waxa gurguurta, iyo haadda hawada; maxaa yeelay, waan ka qoomamooday samayntii aan sameeyey iyaga.
So he said, “I will completely destroy the people I made. I will also destroy all the animals and the creatures that scurry across the ground and the birds. None of them will remain on the earth, because I regret that I made them.”
8 Laakiin Rabbigu Nuux raalli buu ka ahaa.
But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
9 Kuwanu waa farcankii Nuux. Nuux wuxuu ahaa nin xaq ah, oo ku eed la' farcankiisii; Nuuxna Ilaah buu la socon jiray.
This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship with God.
10 Oo Nuux wuxuu dhalay saddex wiil oo ahaa Sheem, iyo Xaam iyo Yaafed.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Dhulkuna wuu kharribnaa Ilaah hortiisa, dhulkana dulmi baa ka buuxsamay.
At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
12 Ilaahna wuxuu arkay dhulka, oo bal eeg, wuu kharribnaa; waayo, intii jidh lahayd oo dhammu jidkooday ku kharribeen dhulka.
God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
13 Oo Ilaah wuxuu Nuux ku yidhi, Intii jidh leh oo dhan dhammaadkoodii aan dhammayn lahaa ayaa gaadhay; waayo, dhulkii waxaa ka buuxsamay dulmi iyaga ka yimid, oo bal eeg, iyagaan dhulka la baabbi'in doonaa.
So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on the earth.
14 Doonni ka samayso qoryo gofer ah; qowladana ka dhex samee doonnida, daamurna ka mari dusha iyo hoostaba.
[I want you to] make for yourself a large boat from cypress wood. Make rooms inside it. Cover the outside and the inside with tar [to make it (waterproof/so that water cannot get in and sink the boat]).
15 Waa inaad sidatan u samaysid iyada: doonnida dhererkeeda waxaad ka dhigtaa saddex boqol oo dhudhun, ballaadhkeedana waxaad ka dhigtaa konton dhudhun, sarajooggeedana waxaad ka dhigtaa soddon dhudhun.
This is the size you must make it: It shall be (150 yards/135 meters) long, (25 yards/22.5 meters) wide, and (15 yards/13.5 meters) high.
16 Waa inaad dariishadna u samaysid doonnida, oo waxaad ku dhammaysaa in dhudhun ah ilaa xaggeeda sare, albaabka doonnidana dhinaca ka samee, dabaqad hoose, iyo tu labaad, iyo tu saddexaadna u samee iyada.
Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about (18 in./.5 meter) between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side.
17 Oo bal eeg, anigu daad biyo ah baan ku soo dayn dhulka, inaan baabbi'iyo inta jidhka leh oo dhan oo neefta noloshu ku jirto, inta samada ka hoosaysa; wax kasta oo dhulka joogaaba way dhiman doonaan.
Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything on the earth will die.
18 Laakiin axdigayga adigaan kula dhigan doonaa; oo doonnidaad soo geli doontaan, adiga, iyo wiilashaada, iyo naagtaada, iyo naagaha wiilashaada ee kula jiraba.
But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
19 Oo wax kasta oo nool oo jidh leh waa inaad cayn walba laba ka soo gelisaa doonnida, si ay kuula sii noolaadaan; waana inay ahaadaan lab iyo dhaddig.
And I want to save some of all kinds of creatures. So you must also bring two of all living creatures, a male and a female, into the boat with you, so that their species also may remain alive.
20 Haadda caynkooda, iyo xoolaha caynkooda, iyo wax kasta oo dhulka gurguurta caynkooda, cayn walba laba ka mid ihi ha kuu soo galeen, si ay u sii noolaadaan.
Two of every kind of creature will come to [in order that by your putting them in the boat] you will keep them alive. They will include two of each kind of bird and each kind of animal and each kind of creature that scurries across the ground.
21 Cuntada la cuno oo dhanna qaado, oo kulligeed ururso oo waxay idiin noqon doontaa cunto, adiga iyo iyagaba.
You must also take some of every kind of food that you and all these animals will need, and store it in the boat.”
22 Sidaasuu Nuux sameeyey; wax kasta sidii Ilaah ugu amray buu u sameeyey.
So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
