< Genesis 6 >
1 Nígbà tí ènìyàn bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní pọ̀ si ní orí ilẹ̀, wọ́n sí bí àwọn ọmọbìnrin.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 Àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run rí i wí pé àwọn ọmọbìnrin ènìyàn lẹ́wà, wọ́n sì fẹ́ èyíkéyìí tí ó wù wọ́n ṣe aya.
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí pé, “Èémí ìyè tí mo mí sínú ènìyàn kò ní máa gbé inú ènìyàn títí láé, nítorí ẹran-ara sá à ni òun, ọgọ́fà ọdún ni ọjọ́ rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́.”
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 Àwọn òmíràn wà láyé ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àti lẹ́yìn ìgbà náà; nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run lọ bá àwọn ọmọbìnrin ènìyàn lòpọ̀ tí wọ́n sì bímọ fún wọn. Àwọn náà ni ó di akọni àti olókìkí ìgbà náà.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
5 Olúwa sì rí bí ìwà búburú ènìyàn ti ń gbilẹ̀ si, àti pé gbogbo èrò inú rẹ̀ kìkì ibi ni, ní ìgbà gbogbo.
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually.
6 Inú Olúwa sì bàjẹ́ gidigidi nítorí pé ó dá ènìyàn sí ayé, ọkàn rẹ̀ sì gbọgbẹ́.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 Nítorí náà, Olúwa wí pé, “Èmi yóò pa ènìyàn tí mo ti dá run kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, ènìyàn àti ẹranko, àti ohun tí ń rákò, àti ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run, nítorí inú mi bàjẹ́ pé mo ti dá wọn.”
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n, Noa rí ojúrere Olúwa.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 Wọ̀nyí ni ìtàn Noa. Noa nìkan ni ó jẹ́ olóòótọ́ ènìyàn àti ẹni tí ó pé ní ìgbà ayé rẹ̀, ó sì fi òtítọ́ bá Ọlọ́run rìn.
These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.
10 Noa sì bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta, Ṣemu, Hamu àti Jafeti.
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Ayé sì kún fún ìbàjẹ́ gidigidi ní ojú Ọlọ́run, ó sì kún fún ìwà ipá pẹ̀lú.
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 Ọlọ́run sì rí bí ayé ti bàjẹ́ tó, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn inú ayé ti bá ara wọn jẹ́ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà wọn.
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 Ọlọ́run sì wí fún Noa pé, “Èmi yóò pa gbogbo ènìyàn run, nítorí ilẹ̀ ayé kún fún ìwà ipá nípasẹ̀ wọn. Èmi yóò pa wọ́n run àti ayé pẹ̀lú.
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Nítorí náà fi igi ọ̀mọ̀ kan ọkọ̀, kí o sì yọ yàrá sí inú rẹ̀, kí o sì fi ọ̀dà ilẹ̀ rẹ́ ẹ tinú-tẹ̀yìn.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 Báyìí ni ìwọ yóò ṣe kan ọkọ̀ náà: Gígùn rẹ̀ ní òró yóò jẹ́ ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ìgbọ̀nwọ́, ìbú rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ àádọ́ta ìgbọ̀nwọ́, nígbà tí gíga rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ ọgbọ̀n ìgbọ̀nwọ́.
And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make it [of: ] The length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Ṣe òrùlé sí orí ọkọ̀ náà ní ìgbọ̀nwọ́ kan, sì ṣe ọkọ̀ náà ní alájà mẹ́ta, ipá kan ní ìsàlẹ̀, ọ̀kan ní àárín àti ọ̀kan tí ó kù ní òkè, ẹ̀gbẹ́ ni kí ó ṣe ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọkọ̀ náà sí.
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.
17 Èmi yóò mú ìkún omi wá sí ayé láti pa gbogbo ohun ẹlẹ́mìí run lábẹ́ ọ̀run. Gbogbo ẹ̀dá tí ó ní èémí ìyè ní inú. Gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú ayé yóò parun.
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó dá májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì wọ ọkọ̀, ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ pẹ̀lú aya rẹ.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
19 Ìwọ yóò mú gbogbo ohun alààyè takọ tabo wá sí inú ọkọ̀, kí wọn le wà láààyè pẹ̀lú rẹ.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Mú onírúurú àwọn ẹyẹ, ẹranko àti àwọn ohun tí ń rákò ní méjì méjì, kí a bá lè pa wọ́n mọ́ láààyè.
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every [sort] shall come unto thee, to keep [them] alive.
21 Mú onírúurú oúnjẹ wá sínú ọkọ̀, kí o pa wọ́n mọ́ fún jíjẹ gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ wà nínú ọkọ̀ àti ènìyàn àti ẹranko.”
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Noa sì ṣe ohun gbogbo bí Ọlọ́run ti pàṣẹ fún un.
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
