Mwanzo 7
1 Yahwe akamwambia Nuhu, “Njoo, wewe na nyumba yako wote, katika safina, kwa kuwa nimeona kuwa wewe ni mwenye haki mbele yangu katika kizazi hiki.
And the LORde sayd vnto Noe: goo in to the arcke both thou and all thy houssold. For the haue I sene rightuous before me in thys generacion.
2 Kwa kila mnyama aliye safi utakuja nao saba wa kiume na saba wa kike. Na kwa wanyama wasio safi, lete wawili wawili, wakiume na wakike.
Of all clene beastes take vnto the. vij. of every kynde the male and hys female And of vnclene beastes a payre the male and hys female:
3 Pia na kwa ndege wa angani, lete saba wa kiume na saba wa kike, ili kuhifadhi kizazi chao juu ya uso wa nchi yote.
lykewyse of the byrdes of the ayre vij. of every kynde male and female to save seed vppon all the erth.
4 Kwa kuwa ndani ya siku saba nitasababisha mvua kunyesha juu ya nchi muda wa siku arobaini mchana na usiku. Nitaharibu kila kiumbe hai nilichokiumba juu ya uso wa ardhi.”
For. vij. dayes hence wyll I send rayne vppo the erth. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes and wyll dystroy all maner of thynges that I haue made from of the face of the erth.
5 Nuhu alifanya yote ambayo Yahwe alimuagiza.
And Noe dyd acordynge to all yt the lorde comaunded hym:
6 Nuhu alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia sita wakati gharika ilipokuja juu ya nchi.
and Noe was. vi. hundred yere olde when the floud of water came vppon the erth:
7 Nuhu, watoto wake wa kiume, mke wake, na wake za watoto wake waliingia katika safina pamoja kwa sababu ya maji ya gharika.
and Noe went and his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyves wyth hym in to the arke from the waters of the floud.
8 Wanyama ambao ni safi na wanyama ambao si safi, ndege, na kila kitambaacho juu ya ardhi,
And of clene beastes and of beastes that ware vnclene and of byrdes and of all that crepeth vppo the erth
9 wawili wawili mume na mke wakaja kwa Nuhu na wakaingia katika safina, kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza Nuhu.
came in by cooples of every kynde vnto Noe in to the arke: a male and a female: even as God commaunded Noe.
10 Ikawa kwamba baada ya siku saba, maji ya gharika yakaja juu ya nchi.
And the seventh daye the waters of the floud came vppon the erth.
11 Katika mwaka wa mia sita wa maisha yake Nuhu, katika mwezi wa pili, katika siku ya kumi na saba ya mwezi, katika siku iyo hiyo, chemchemi zote za vilindi vikuu zilipasuka na kufunguka, na madirisha ya mbinguni yakafunguka.
In the. vi. hundred yere of Noes lyfe in the secode moneth in the. xvij daye of the moneth yt same daye were all the founteynes of the grete depe broken vp and the wyndowes of heave were opened
12 Mvua ikaanza kunyesha juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini mchana na usiku.
ad there fell a rayne vpon the erth. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes.
13 Katika siku iyo hiyo Nuhu pamoja na watoto wake, Shem, Ham, na Yafethi na mke wa Nuhu, na wale wake watatu wa wana wa Nuhu pamoja waliingia katika safina.
And the selfe same daye went Noe Sem Ham and Iapheth Noes sonnes and Noes wyfe and the. iij. wyues of his sonnes wyth them in to the arke:
14 Waliingia pamoja na kila mnyama wa mwitu kwa jinsi yake, na kila mnyama wa kufugwa kwa jinsi yake, na kila kitambaacho juu ya ardhi kwa jinsi yake, na kila aina ya ndege kwa jinsi yake, kila aina ya kiumbe chenye mabawa.
both they and all maner of beastes in their kide and all maner of catell in their kynde and all maner of wormes that crepe vppon the erth in their kynde and all maner of byrdes in there kynde. and all maner off foules what soever had feders.
15 Viwili viwili katika kila chenye mwili ambacho kilikuwa na pumzi ya uhai kilikuja kwa Nuhu na kuingia katika safina.
And they came vnto Noe in to the arke by cooples of all flesh yt had breth of lyfe in it.
16 Wanyama walioingia ndani walikuwa wakiume na kike katika wote wenye mwili; wakaingia kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza. Kisha Yahwe akawafungia mlango.
And they that came came male ad female of every flesh acordige as God comaunded hym: and ye LORde shytt the dore vppo him
17 Kisha gharika ikaja juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini, na maji yakaongezeka na kuinua safina juu ya nchi.
And the floud came. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes vppon the erth and the water increased and bare vp the arcke ad it was lifte vp from of the erth
18 Maji yakafunika kabisa nchi, na safina ikaelea juu ya uso wa maji.
And the water prevayled and increased exceadingly vppon the erth: and the arke went vppo he toppe of the waters.
19 Maji yakaongezeka zaidi juu ya nchi kiasi kwamba milima yote mirefu ambayo ilikuwa chini ya anga ikafunikwa.
And the waters prevayled excedingly above mesure vppo the erth so that all the hye hylles which are vnder all the partes of heaven were covered:
20 Maji yakaongezeka dhiraa kumi na tano juu ya vilele vya milima.
eve. xv. cubytes hye prevayled the waters so that the hylles were covered.
21 Vitu vyote vyenye uhai ambavyo vilitembea juu ya nchi vilikufa: ndege, mifugo, wanyama wa mwituni, viumbe hai vyote kwa wingi vilivyoishi juu ya nchi, pamoja na watu.
And all fleshe that moved on the erth bothe birdes catell and beastes perisshed with al that crepte on the erth and all men:
22 Viumbe hai vyote ambavyo vilikaa juu ya ardhi, vilivyo pumua pumzi ya uhai kwa njia ya pua, vilikufa.
so that all that had the breth of liffe in the nostrels of it thorow out all that was on drye lond dyed.
23 Hivyo kila kilichokuwa hai ambacho kilikuwa juu ya uso wa mchi kilifutwa, kuanzia watu mpaka wanyama wakubwa, mpaka vitambaavyo, na mpaka ndege wa angani. Vyote viliangamizwa kutoka kwenye nchi. Nuhu tu pamoja na wale waliokuwa naye kwenye safina ndio walisalia.
Thus was destroyed all that was vppo the erth both man beastes wormes and foules of the ayre so that they were destroyed from the erth: save Noe was reserved only and they that were wyth hym in the arke.
24 Maji haya kuzama chini ya nchi kwa muda wa siku miamoja na hamsini.
And the waters prevayled vppon the erth an hundred and fyftye dayes.
The Great Flood
