< Genesis 6 >

1 Nígbà tí ènìyàn bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní pọ̀ si ní orí ilẹ̀, wọ́n sí bí àwọn ọmọbìnrin.
And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
2 Àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run rí i wí pé àwọn ọmọbìnrin ènìyàn lẹ́wà, wọ́n sì fẹ́ èyíkéyìí tí ó wù wọ́n ṣe aya.
that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever 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 God said, "My Spirit will not remain in humankind forever, since he is indeed flesh; yet his days will be one hundred 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.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after that), when the sons of God had sexual relations with the daughters of humankind and had children by them. They were the mighty men who were from ancient times, famous men.
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 humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination 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 God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in 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.”
God said, "I will destroy humankind whom I have created from the face of the earth; humankind, along with animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
8 Ṣùgbọ́n, Noa rí ojúrere Olúwa.
But Noah found favor in the sight of God.
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 righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
10 Noa sì bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta, Ṣemu, Hamu àti Jafeti.
Noah became the father of 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 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.
God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on 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 to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And look, 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 a box-shaped ship of gopher wood. You are to make rooms in the ship, and cover it inside and outside 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 how you are to make it. The length of the ship is to be five hundred seventeen feet, its breadth eighty-six feet, and its height fifty-two feet.
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.
And you are to make a roof in the ship, and you are to finish it twenty-one inches above. And you are to set the door of the ship in its side. You are to make it with lower, second, and third levels.
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 as for me, look, I am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó dá májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì wọ ọkọ̀, ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ pẹ̀lú aya rẹ.
But I will establish my covenant with you. You are to come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
19 Ìwọ yóò mú gbogbo ohun alààyè takọ tabo wá sí inú ọkọ̀, kí wọn le wà láààyè pẹ̀lú rẹ.
Of every living thing of all flesh, you are to bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. 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 the flying creatures after their kind, of the animals after their kind, and of every crawling creature of the ground after their kind, two of every sort shall come to you, 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 as for you, take for yourself all the kinds of food that are eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be food for you, and for them."
22 Noa sì ṣe ohun gbogbo bí Ọlọ́run ti pàṣẹ fún un.
Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
