1 Mose 7
1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Noa se, “Wo ne wo fifo nyinaa nkɔ Adaka no mu, efisɛ asase so nnipa nyinaa mu no, wo na mahu sɛ woyɛ ɔtreneeni.
The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation.
2 Fa mmoa a wɔn ho tew biara, anini ason ne abere ason ka wo ho. Na fa mmoa biara a wɔn ho ntew nso abien, onini ne ɔbere.
Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.
3 Na fa nnomaa biara anini ason ne abere, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nsuyiri no akyi no, wɔn ase bɛfɛe.
In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.
4 Nnanson akyi no mɛma osu atɔ wɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan. Mɛpepa abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a mabɔ afi asase so.”
In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
5 Noa dii nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa so.
Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
6 Bere a nsuyiri baa asase so no, na Noa adi mfe ahansia.
Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
7 Noa ne ne mmabarima ne ne yere ne ne nsenom mmea kɔhyɛɛ adaka no mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nsuyiri no renka wɔn.
Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.
8 Mmoa a wɔn ho tew ne wɔn a wɔn ho ntew, nnomaa ne mmoa a wɔwea fam,
Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
9 abien abien a wɔyɛ anini ne abere kɔkaa Noa ho wɔ adaka no mu, sɛnea Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
10 Na nnanson no akyi no, nsuyiri no fii ase.
After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.
11 Noa dii mfe ahansia no mu no, ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a ɛto so dunson no, nsuti a ɛwɔ asase mu no nyinaa bobɔe, na ɔsoro mfɛnsere nso buebuei.
Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
12 Osu tɔɔ wɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan.
Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
13 Saa da no ara, Noa ne ne mmabarima Sem, Ham ne Yafet ne ne yere ne ne mmabarima baasa no yerenom kɔhyɛɛ adaka no mu.
That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark.
14 Na wuram mmoa ahorow ne nyɛmmoa ahorow ne aboa biara a ɔnam asase so ne anomaa biara ne abɔde biara a ɛwɔ ntaban ka wɔn ho wɔ Adaka no mu.
They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
15 Abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ wɔn mu abien abien baa Noa nkyɛn bewuraa Adaka no mu.
They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
16 Mmoa a wowuraa mu no nyinaa, na wɔyɛ anini ne abere, sɛnea Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa no. Afei, Awurade kaa Noa hyɛɛ adaka no mu, too no mu.
A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
17 Nsuyiri no toaa so adaduanan wɔ asase so. Ɛmaa Adaka no so maa ɛtɛn nsu no ani.
The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.
18 Nsu no kɔɔ so yirii tɛnn wɔ asase so, maa Adaka no tɛn nsu no ani.
The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
19 Nsu no yirii tɛnn wɔ asase so ara kosii sɛ ɛkataa mmepɔw atenten akɛse a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa so.
Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
20 Nsu no yirii ara kosii sɛ ɛkataa mmepɔw no so boroo so anammɔn aduonu.
The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
21 Abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛnam asase so te sɛ nnomaa, wuram mmoa a wɔwea asase so ne adesamma ase hyewee.
Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
22 Biribiara a ɛte asase ani no nso ase hyewee.
Everything on land that breathed, died.
23 Wɔpepaa biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛte asase so no. Nnipa ne mmoa ne abɔde a wɔnam asase so ne wim nnomaa nyinaa nso wɔpepaa wɔn fii asase so. Ɛkaa Noa ne wɔn a na wɔka ne ho wɔ adaka no mu no nko ara.
The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.
24 Nsuyiri no toaa so wɔ asase so nnafua ɔha aduonum.
The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
The Great Flood
