Mwanzo 7
1 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Noa, “Ingia katika safina wewe na jamaa yako yote, kwa sababu katika kizazi hiki nimeona ya kuwa wewe ni mwenye haki.
And the Lord said to him: Go in thou and all thy house into the ark: for thee I have seen just before me in this generation.
2 Uchukue wanyama saba walio safi wa kila aina, wa kiume na wa kike, na wanyama wawili wawili wa kila aina walio najisi wa kiume na wa kike.
Of all clean beasts take seven and seven, the male and the female.
3 Pia uchukue ndege saba walio safi wa kila aina, wa kiume na wa kike, ili kuhifadhi aina zao mbalimbali katika dunia yote.
But of the beasts that are unclean two and two, the male and the female. Of the fowls also of the air seven and seven, the male and the female: that seed may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.
4 Siku saba kuanzia sasa nitaleta mvua juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini usiku na mchana, nami nitafutilia mbali kutoka uso wa nchi kila kiumbe hai nilichokiumba.”
For yet a while, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy every substance that I have made, from the face of the earth.
5 Noa akafanya yote kama Bwana alivyomwamuru.
And Noe did all things which the Lord had commanded him.
6 Noa alikuwa na miaka 600 gharika ilipokuja juu ya dunia.
And he was six hundred years old, when the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.
7 Noa na mkewe na wanawe na wake zao wakaingia katika safina ili waepuke ile gharika.
And Noe went in and his sons, his wife and the wives of his sons with him into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Jozi ya wanyama walio safi na walio najisi, ndege na viumbe vitambaavyo,
And of beasts clean and unclean, and of fowls, and of every thing that moveth upon the earth,
9 wa kiume na wa kike, walikuja kwa Noa wakaingia katika safina kama Mungu alivyomwamuru Noa.
Two and two went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as the Lord had commanded Noe.
10 Baada ya siku saba, maji ya gharika yakaja juu ya dunia.
And after the seven days were passed, the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.
11 Katika siku ya kumi na saba ya mwezi wa pili mwaka wa 600 wa kuishi kwake Noa, siku hiyo ndipo chemchemi zote hata zilizo chini sana ya ardhi zilibubujika kwa nguvu, na malango ya mafuriko ya mbinguni yakafunguliwa.
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were opened:
12 Mvua ikanyesha juu ya nchi siku arobaini usiku na mchana.
And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 Siku hiyo Noa, na mkewe, na wanawe Shemu, Hamu na Yafethi pamoja na wake zao wakaingia katika ile safina.
In the selfsame day Noe, and Sem, and Cham, and Japheth his sons: his wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark:
14 Nao walikuwa pamoja na kila mnyama wa mwituni kufuatana na aina yake, wanyama wote wafugwao kufuatana na aina zao, kila kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya ardhi kwa aina yake, na kila ndege kufuatana na aina yake, naam kila kiumbe chenye mabawa.
They and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and every thing that moveth upon the earth according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, all birds, and all that fly,
15 Viumbe vyote vyenye pumzi ya uhai ndani yake vikaja kwa Noa viwili viwili, vikaingia katika safina.
Went in to Noe into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein was the breath of life.
16 Wanyama walioingia katika safina walikuwa wa kiume na wa kike, wa kila kiumbe chenye uhai kama Mungu alivyomwamuru Noa, ndipo Bwana akamfungia ndani.
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in on the outside.
17 Kwa siku arobaini mafuriko yaliendelea kujaa duniani na maji yalivyozidi kuongezeka, yaliinua safina juu sana kutoka kwenye uso wa nchi.
And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from the earth.
18 Maji yakajaa na kuongezeka sana juu ya nchi, na safina ikaelea juu ya uso wa maji.
For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the waters.
19 Maji yakazidi kujaa juu ya nchi, yakaifunika milima yote mirefu chini ya mbingu yote.
And the waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth: and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Maji yakaendelea kujaa yakaifunika milima kwa kina cha zaidi ya dhiraa kumi na tano.
The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
21 Kila kiumbe hai kitambaacho juu ya nchi kikaangamia: Ndege, wanyama wa kufugwa, wanyama pori, viumbe vyote juu ya nchi na wanadamu wote.
And all flesh was destroyed that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of all creeping things that creep upon the earth: and all men.
22 Kila kiumbe juu ya nchi kavu chenye pumzi ya uhai kikafa.
And all things wherein there is the breath of life on the earth, died.
23 Kila kitu chenye uhai juu ya uso wa nchi kilifutiliwa mbali, watu, wanyama, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege warukao angani wakafutiliwa mbali toka duniani. Waliobaki ni Noa peke yake na wale waliokuwa pamoja naye ndani ya safina.
And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the earth, from man even to beast, and the creeping things and fowls of the air: and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noe only remained, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 Maji yakaifunika dunia kwa siku 150.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
