1 Mose 7
1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ, “Wo ne wo fiefoɔ nyinaa nkɔ Adaka no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, asase so nnipa nyinaa no, wo na mahunu sɛ woyɛ ɔteneneeni.
INkosi yasisithi kuNowa: Ngena wena lendlu yakho yonke emkhunjini, ngoba wena ngikubone ulungile phambi kwami kulesisizukulwana.
2 Fa mmoa a wɔn ho te biara, anini nson ne abereɛ nson ka wo ho. Na fa mmoa biara a wɔn ho nte nso mmienu, onini ne ɔbereɛ.
Kuyo yonke inyamazana ehlambulukileyo uzazithathela ngasikhombisa ngasikhombisa, enduna lensikazi yayo; njalo kuyo inyamazana engahlambulukanga ezimbili, enduna lensikazi yayo.
3 Na fa nnomaa biara anini nson ne abereɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nsuyire no akyiri no, wɔn ase bɛfɛe.
Lakuzo inyoni zamazulu ngasikhombisa ngasikhombisa, enduna lensikazi, ukulondoloza inhlanyelo iphila ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
4 Nnanson sɛ ɛnnɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ, mɛma osuo atɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan. Mɛpepa abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a mabɔ afiri asase so.”
Ngoba kusele izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, besenginisa izulu emhlabeni, izinsuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane, ngibhubhise konke okuphilayo, engakwenzayo, ebusweni bomhlaba.
5 Noa dii nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa so.
UNowa wasesenza njengakho konke iNkosi eyamlaya khona.
6 Ɛberɛ a nsuyire baa asase so no, na Noa adi mfeɛ aha nsia.
UNowa wayeleminyaka engamakhulu ayisithupha, lapho uzamcolo wamanzi ephezu komhlaba.
7 Noa ne ne mmammarima ne ne yere ne ne nsenom mmaa kɔhyɛɛ adaka no mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nsuyire no renka wɔn.
UNowa wasengena emkhunjini lamadodana akhe lomkakhe labafazi bamadodana akhe kanye laye, ngenxa yamanzi kazamcolo.
8 Mmoa a wɔn ho te ne wɔn a wɔn ho nte, nnomaa ne mmoa a wɔwea fam,
Kuzo inyamazana ezihlambulukileyo, lakuzo inyamazana ezingahlambulukanga, lakuzo inyoni, lakukho konke okuhuquzelayo phezu komhlaba,
9 mmienu mmienu a wɔyɛ anini ne abereɛ kɔkaa Noa ho wɔ adaka no mu, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
ngambili ngambili kweza kuNowa emkhunjini, okuduna lokusikazi, njengoba uNkulunkulu emlayile uNowa.
10 Na nnanson no akyiri no, nsuyire no hyɛɛ aseɛ.
Kwasekusithi emva kwensuku eziyisikhombisa amanzi kazamcolo ayephezu komhlaba.
11 Noa dii mfeɛ ahansia no mu no, bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunson no, nsutire a ɛwɔ asase mu no nyinaa bobɔeɛ, na ɛsoro mpomma nso buebueeɛ.
Ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha wempilo kaNowa, ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lwetshumi lesikhombisa lwenyanga, ngalolosuku yonke imithombo yokujula okukhulu yaqhekezwa, lamasango empophoma zamazulu avulwa.
12 Osuo tɔɔ asase so awia ne anadwo adaduanan.
Izulu laliphezu komhlaba insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane.
13 Saa ɛda no ara, Noa ne ne mmammarima Sem, Ham ne Yafet ne ne yere ne ne mmammarima baasa no yerenom kɔhyɛɛ adaka no mu.
Ngalolosuku olufananayo uNowa wangena loShemu loHamu loJafethi, amadodana kaNowa, lomkaNowa, labafazi abathathu bamadodana akhe kanye labo, emkhunjini,
14 Na wiram mmoa ahodoɔ ne nyɛmmoa ahodoɔ ne aboa biara a ɔnam asase so ne anomaa biara ne abɔdeɛ biara a ɛwɔ ntaban ka wɔn ho wɔ Adaka no mu.
bona, layo yonke inyamazana ngohlobo lwayo, laso sonke isifuyo ngohlobo lwaso, lakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela phezu komhlaba ngohlobo lwakho, lakho konke okuphaphayo ngohlobo lwakho, yonke inyoni yalo lonke uphiko.
15 Abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ wɔn mu mmienu mmienu baa Noa nkyɛn bɛwuraa Adaka no mu.
Zasezingena kuNowa emkhunjini, ngambili ngambili, kuyo yonke inyama, okukuyo umoya wempilo.
16 Mmoa a wɔwuraa mu no nyinaa, na wɔyɛ anini ne abereɛ, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa no. Afei, Awurade kaa Noa hyɛɛ adaka no mu, too no mu.
Lezangenayo, kwangena enduna lensikazi kuyo yonke inyama, njengalokho uNkulunkulu ayemlaye khona; iNkosi yasimvalela phakathi.
17 Nsuyire no toaa so adaduanan asase so. Ɛmaa Adaka no so ma ɛtɛɛ nsuo no ani.
Uzamcolo wasesiba semhlabeni insuku ezingamatshumi amane; amanzi asesanda asephakamisa umkhumbi, waze waphakama phezu komhlaba.
18 Nsuo no kɔɔ so yirii tɛnn wɔ asase so, ma Adaka no tɛɛ nsuo no ani.
Amanzi asephakama ngamandla, anda kakhulu phezu komhlaba; lomkhumbi wahamba phezu kobuso bamanzi.
19 Nsuo no yirii tɛntɛntɛn wɔ asase so ara kɔsii sɛ, ɛkataa mmepɔ atentene akɛseɛ a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa so.
Amanzi asephakama ngamandla kakhulukazi emhlabeni, zaze zasitshekelwa zonke intaba eziphakemeyo ezingaphansi kwamazulu wonke.
20 Nsuo no yirii ara kɔsii sɛ ɛkataa mmepɔ no so boroo so anammɔn aduonu.
Izingalo ezilitshumi lanhlanu amanzi aqonga aphakama ngamandla, lezintaba zasitshekelwa.
21 Abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛnam asase so te sɛ nnomaa, wiram mmoa a wɔwea asase so ne adasamma ase hyeeɛ.
Yonke-ke inyama yaphela, eyayihamba phezu komhlaba, eyenyoni, leyesifuyo, leyenyamazana, leyakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela phezu komhlaba, laye wonke umuntu;
22 Biribiara a ɛte asase kesee so nso ase hyeeɛ.
konke okulokuphefumula komoya wempilo emakhaleni akho, kwakho konke okusemhlabeni owomileyo, kwafa.
23 Wɔpepaa biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛte asase so no. Nnipa ne mmoa ne abɔdeɛ a wɔnam asase so ne ewiem nnomaa nyinaa nso, wɔpepaa wɔn firii asase so. Ɛkaa Noa ne wɔn a na wɔka ne ho wɔ adaka no mu nko ara.
Kwachithwa konke okwakukhona, okwakusebusweni bomhlaba, kusukela emuntwini kusiya esifuyweni kusiya kokuhuquzelayo njalo kusiya enyonini yamazulu; kwasekuchithwa emhlabeni; kwasekutshiywa uNowa kuphela, lalokho ayelakho emkhunjini.
24 Nsuyire no toaa so asase so nnafua ɔha aduonum.
Lamanzi ayephakama ngamandla phezu komhlaba, okwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu.
The Great Flood
