Genesis 7
1 And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright.
Yehowa gblɔ na Noa be, “Yi aɖakaʋu la me kple wò ƒometɔwo katã, elabena le anyigbadzinɔlawo katã dome la, wò koe nye ame dzɔdzɔe le nye ŋkume.
2 Of every clean beast you will take seven males and seven females, and of the beasts which are not clean, two, the male and his female;
“Kplɔ lãwo hã de eme, atsu kple asi, negbe esiwo metia da ɖi be woaɖu kple esiwo woatsɔ asa vɔe ko. Tsɔ wo dome adre, atsu kple asi,
3 And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth.
eye nàgatsɔ xevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe atsu kple asi adre. Ale nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe agate ŋu adzi le tsiɖɔɖɔ la megbe.
4 For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth.
Le kɔsiɖa ɖeka megbe tso egbe sia dzi la, mana tsi nadza ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene, eye matsrɔ̃ nu gbagbe siwo katã mewɔ ɖe anyigba dzi la.”
5 And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do.
Ale Noa wɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa di tso esi be wòawɔ la.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth.
Noa xɔ ƒe alafa ade esi tsiɖɔɖɔ ɖe anyigba la.
7 And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the flowing of the waters.
Ege ɖe aɖakaʋu la me kple srɔ̃a, via ŋutsuwo kple wo srɔ̃wo be woasi le tsiɖɔɖɔ la nu.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts which are not clean, and of birds, and of everything which goes on the earth,
Lã ɖuɖua kple lã maɖumaɖua ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi eveve, xeviwo eveve kple lã siwo katã tana la,
9 In twos, male and female, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said.
atsu kple asi va Noa gbɔ, eye woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me abe ale si Mawu ɖo na Noa ene.
10 And after the seven days, the waters came over all the earth.
Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, tsi dza ɖe anyigba la dzi.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;
Le ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiadrelia gbe le Noa ƒe ƒe alafa ade xɔxɔ me la, anyigba ƒe tumetsi gãwo katã ŋɔ, eye dziƒo nu ʋu gbe ma gbe.
12 And rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
Tsi de asi dzadza me sesĩe, eye tsi dzidziwo ŋɔ tso tome va anyigba dzi ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene.
13 On the same day Noah, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark;
Ke Noa yi aɖakaʋu la me gbe ma gbe kple srɔ̃a kple viawo, Sem, Ham kple Yafet kple wo srɔ̃wo.
14 And with them, every sort of beast and cattle, and every sort of thing which goes on the earth, and every sort of bird.
Lã wɔadã ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi, aƒemelã ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi, lã siwo tana ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi kple xevi siwo dzona ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi kple esiwo medzona o siaa yi kpli wo.
15 They went with Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
Nuwɔwɔ sia nuwɔwɔ si me agbegbɔgbɔ le la ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe, atsu kple asi va Noa gbɔ, eye woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me.
16 Male and female of all flesh went in, as God had said, and the ark was shut by the Lord.
Woge ɖe aɖakaʋu la me eveve, atsu kple asi abe ale si Mawu ɖo na wo ene. Tete Yehowa tu ʋɔtru la ɖe wo nu.
17 And for forty days the waters were over all the earth; and the waters were increased so that the ark was lifted up high over the earth.
Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ edzi ŋkeke blaene sɔŋ. Exɔ anyigba dzi, eye wòtsɔ aɖakaʋu la do ɖe dzi.
18 And the waters overcame everything and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark was resting on the face of the waters.
Esi tsi la nɔ ɖɔɖɔm ɖe edzi, eye wònɔ aɖakaʋu la dom ɖe dzi ɣe sia ɣi wu tsã la, aɖakaʋu la nɔ dedie le tsi la dzi.
19 And the waters overcame everything on the earth; and all the mountains under heaven were covered.
Mlɔeba la, tsi la ɖɔ kɔkɔ gbɔ to kɔkɔwo katã ŋu le lilikpo la te,
20 The waters went fifteen cubits higher, till all the mountains were covered.
eye aɖakaʋu la ƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔ mita blaadre-vɔ-eve, alo wu nenema gɔ̃ hã.
21 And destruction came on every living thing moving on the earth, birds and cattle and beasts and everything which went on the earth, and every man.
Nu gbagbe siwo katã nɔ anyigba dzi, xeviwo, aƒemelãwo, gbemelãwo, nu gbagbe siwo katã tana kple amegbetɔƒome blibo la katã tsrɔ̃.
22 Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.
Nu sia nu si me agbe nɔ, eye wònɔ anyigba ƒuƒui dzi tsã la tsrɔ̃.
23 Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.
Anyigbadzinu gbagbewo katã, amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa, nu gbagbe siwo tana kple xeviwo katã ƒe agbe nu tso. Mawu tsrɔ̃ wo katã, negbe Noa kple ame siwo nɔ egbɔ le aɖakaʋu la me kple nu bubu siwo nɔ wo gbɔ le aɖakaʋu la me ko tsi agbe.
24 And the waters were over the earth a hundred and fifty days.
Tsiɖɔɖɔ la nɔ anyigba dzi ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃.
The Great Flood
