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.
And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy household into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in 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.
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven pairs of each, the male and his female; and of beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female.
3 Na fa nnomaa biara anini ason ne abere, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nsuyiri no akyi no, wɔn ase bɛfɛe.
Also of the fowls of the heaven, seven pairs of each, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all 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.”
For after only seven days more, I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights: and I will blot out every living substance that I have made from off the face of the earth.
5 Noa dii nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa so.
And Noah did all just as the Lord had commanded him.
6 Bere a nsuyiri baa asase so no, na Noa adi mfe ahansia.
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon 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.
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Mmoa a wɔn ho tew ne wɔn a wɔn ho ntew, nnomaa ne mmoa a wɔwea fam,
Of the clean beasts, and of the beasts that are not clean, and of the fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 abien abien a wɔyɛ anini ne abere kɔkaa Noa ho wɔ adaka no mu, sɛnea Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
One pair of each went in unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 Na nnanson no akyi no, nsuyiri no fii ase.
And it came to pass, after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon 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.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this same day, were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 Osu tɔɔ wɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan.
And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty 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.
On that self-same day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, 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, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird, every thing that hath wings.
15 Abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ wɔn mu abien abien baa Noa nkyɛn bewuraa Adaka no mu.
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, one pair of each, of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
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.
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and then the Lord shut him in.
17 Nsuyiri no toaa so adaduanan wɔ asase so. Ɛmaa Adaka no so maa ɛtɛn nsu no ani.
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 Nsu no kɔɔ so yirii tɛnn wɔ asase so, maa Adaka no tɛn nsu no ani.
And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated along upon the face of the waters.
19 Nsu no yirii tɛnn wɔ asase so ara kosii sɛ ɛkataa mmepɔw atenten akɛse a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa so.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that are under the whole heavens were covered.
20 Nsu no yirii ara kosii sɛ ɛkataa mmepɔw no so boroo so anammɔn aduonu.
Fifteen cubits above them did the waters prevail; and the mountains were [thus] covered.
21 Abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛnam asase so te sɛ nnomaa, wuram mmoa a wɔwea asase so ne adesamma ase hyewee.
And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man.
22 Biribiara a ɛte asase ani no nso ase hyewee.
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that were on the dry land, 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.
And it swept off every living substance which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowls of the heaven; and they were swept from the earth; and Noah only was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
24 Nsuyiri no toaa so wɔ asase so nnafua ɔha aduonum.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
