< 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.
Yahweh said to Noah, “Come, you and all your household, into the ark, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.
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.
Of every clean animal you will bring with you seven males and seven females. From the animals that are not clean, of them bring two, the male and his mate.
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 of the birds of the sky, bring seven males and seven females, to preserve their offspring upon the surface of all the earth.
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.”
For in seven days I will cause it to rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy from off the surface of the ground every living thing that I have made.”
5 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Noa ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia.
Noah did all that Yahweh commanded him.
6 Pea naʻe onongeau ʻae taʻu ʻo Noa, feʻunga mo e hoko ʻae lōmaki ʻoe ngaahi vai ki māmani.
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon 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.
Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives went into the ark together because of the waters of the flood.
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,
Clean animals and unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps upon 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.
two by two, male and female, came to Noah and went into the ark, just as God had commanded Noah.
10 Pea ʻi heʻene hili mai ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, naʻe hoko ki māmani ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe lōmaki.
It came about that after the seven days, the waters of the flood came upon 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.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day, all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 Pea naʻe tō ʻae ʻuha ki māmani, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu.
The rain began and fell on the earth for forty days and forty 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 that very same day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark.
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 entered along with each wild animal according to its kind, and each sort of livestock according to its kind, and each creeping thing that creeps upon the earth according to its kind, and every sort of bird according to its kind, each kind of creature with 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.
Two of all flesh in which was the breath of life came to Noah and entered into the ark.
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.
The animals that went in were male and female of all flesh; they entered in just as God had commanded him. Then Yahweh shut the door after them.
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.
Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted the ark and raised it above the earth.
18 Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai, pea tupu lahi ʻi he funga fonua; pea naʻe tētē ʻae vaka ʻi he fukahi vai.
The waters completely covered over the earth, and the ark floated upon 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 waters rose greatly on the earth so that all the high mountains that were under the entire sky were covered.
20 Naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai; naʻe hake ia ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu, pea naʻe ʻūfia ai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga.
The waters rose fifteen cubits above the tops of the mountains.
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:
All living beings that moved upon the earth died—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the living creatures that lived in great numbers upon the earth, and all mankind.
22 Ko ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi honau avaʻi ihu ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui, ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he fonua mōmoa naʻe mate.
All living creatures who lived on the land, who breathed the breath of life through their noses, 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.
So every living thing that was on the surface of the earth was wiped out, from mankind to the larger animals, to creeping things, and to birds of the sky. They were all destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.
24 Pea naʻe mālohi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi māmani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe teau ma nimangofulu.
The waters stayed upon the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
