Senesi 7
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, kia Noa, “Haʻu koe mo ho fale kotoa pē ki he vaka; he kuo u vakai kiate koe ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi he toʻutangata ni.
Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that out of everyone who is now living, you alone always act righteously. So you and all your family go into the boat.
2 Te ke toʻo kiate koe ʻo tautau toko fitu ʻi he fanga manu maʻa kotoa pē ko e tangata mo e fefine; pea tautau toko ua ʻi he fanga manu taʻemaʻa, ko e tangata mo e fefine.
Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take a male and a female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
3 Ke tautau toko fitu ʻi he fanga manu foki ʻoe ʻatā, ko e tangata mo e fefine; ke fakamoʻui ʻae hako ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
4 He ʻoku toe ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea te u pule ke ʻuha ki māmani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu; pea te u fakaʻauha mei he funga ʻo māmani ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē kuo u ngaohi.”
Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for 40 days and nights. By doing that, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on the earth.”
5 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Noa ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia.
Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
6 Pea naʻe onongeau ʻae taʻu ʻo Noa, feʻunga mo e hoko ʻae lōmaki ʻoe ngaahi vai ki māmani.
Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
7 Pea naʻe hū ʻa Noa ki he vaka mo hono ngaahi foha, mo hono uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo hono ngaahi foha mo ia, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi vai ʻoe lōmaki.
Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
8 Ko e fanga manu maʻa, mo e fanga manu taʻemaʻa, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he fonua,
Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
9 Naʻe ʻalu atu kia Noa ʻi he vaka ʻo tautau toko ua, ko e tangata mo e fefine, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa.
males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
10 Pea ʻi heʻene hili mai ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, naʻe hoko ki māmani ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe lōmaki.
Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
11 ʻI he taʻu ʻe onongeau ʻoe moʻui ʻa Noa, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, mo hono hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, ko e ʻaho ko ia naʻe fakapā hake ai ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe moana lahi, pea naʻe toʻo ai ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe langi.
When Noah was 600 years old, (on the 17th day of the second month [of that year/late in October]), all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst forth, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam [MET] in the sky burst open.
12 Pea naʻe tō ʻae ʻuha ki māmani, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu.
Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
13 ʻI he ʻaho pe ko ia naʻe hū ai ki he vaka ʻa Noa, mo Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Noa, mo e uaifi ʻo Noa, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻe toko tolu ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo kinautolu.
On the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives.
14 ʻAkinautolu, mo e fanga manu ʻoe vao ʻi hono faʻahinga kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he fonua ʻi hono faʻahinga, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻi hono faʻahinga, ʻae manu kapakau kehekehe kotoa pē.
They had already put in the boat some of every kind of wild animal and every kind of livestock and every kind of bird and every other creature that has wings.
15 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu kia Noa ki he vaka, ʻo tautau toko ua ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui.
Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
16 Pea ko ia naʻe hū ai, naʻe ʻalu ko e tangata mo e fefine ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia; pea naʻe tāpuni ia ʻi ai ʻe Sihova.
There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
17 Pea naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻae lōmaki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu; pea naʻe hake ʻae ngaahi vai, pea maʻanu ai ʻae vaka, pea naʻe tētē ia ʻi ʻolunga, ʻi he fonua.
It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
18 Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai, pea tupu lahi ʻi he funga fonua; pea naʻe tētē ʻae vaka ʻi he fukahi vai.
As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
19 Pea naʻe mālohi ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he funga fonua; pea naʻe fakangalo ai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he lalo langi.
The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
20 Naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai; naʻe hake ia ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu, pea naʻe ʻūfia ai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga.
Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
21 Pea naʻe mate ʻae kakano kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ngaue ʻi māmani, ko e fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu lalata, mo e fanga manu ʻoe vao, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he fonua, mo e tangata kotoa pē:
As a result, every living creature on the surface of the earth died. That included birds and livestock and wild animals and other creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the people.
22 Ko ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi honau avaʻi ihu ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui, ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he fonua mōmoa naʻe mate.
On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
23 Pea naʻe fakaʻauha ʻae meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ʻi he funga kelekele, ʻae tangata, mo e fanga manu, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā; pea naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he māmani; pea naʻe toe pe ʻa Noa, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he vaka.
God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
24 Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi māmani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe teau ma nimangofulu.
The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
The Great Flood
