Genesis 6
1 People started to increase in number and spread out across the earth. Daughters were born to them,
Lè sa a, moun te konmanse ap fè anpil anpil pitit sou latè. Yo te vin gen anpil pitit fi.
2 and the sons of God saw that these women were beautiful, and they took whichever ones they wanted.
Pitit gason Bondye yo te wè jan pitit fi lèzòm yo te bèl. Se konsa, nan fi yo te renmen yo, yo pran ladan yo pou madanm yo.
3 Then the Lord said, “My life-giving Spirit will not remain in these people forever, because they are only mortal. The time they have left will be 120 years.”
Lè Seyè a wè sa, li di: Mwen p'ap kite lèzòm viv pou tout tan, paske se moun ase yo ye. Se sanventan (120 an) sèlman pou yo viv.
4 There were giants on earth in those days, and also later on. They were born after the sons of God slept with the daughters of these people. Their sons became the great warriors and famous men of ancient times.
Lè sa a, epi pandan lontan apre sa, te vin gen sou latè yon ras moun wo anpil: se te pitit pitit fi lèzòm yo te fè pou pitit gason bondye yo. Se yo ki te vanyan gason nan tan lontan yo, kifè tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo.
5 The Lord saw how terribly evil people on earth had become—every single thought in their minds was evil all the time!
Seyè a wè jan lèzòm te mechan toupatou sou latè, ki jan tout lajounen se move lide ase ki te nan tèt yo.
6 The Lord was sorry he'd made human beings to live on the earth; it made him very sad to think about it.
Li vin règrèt li te fè moun sou latè. Kè l' vin sere ak lapenn.
7 So the Lord said, “I'm going to wipe out these people I created from the earth, and not only them but also the animals, the creatures that run along the ground, and the birds, because I'm sorry I made them.”
Seyè a di: Mwen pral disparèt tout moun mwen te kreye yo, san kite yonn. Epi m'ap detwi ansanm ak yo tout tou bèt kat pat, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl, paske mwen règrèt anpil dèske mwen te fè yo.
8 But the Lord was pleased with Noah.
Men, Noe te fè Bondye plezi.
9 This is the story of Noah and his family. Noah was a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of his time. He had a close relationship with God.
Men pitit pitit Noe yo. Nan tout moun ki t'ap viv lè sa a, Noe te sèl moun ki t'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, ki pa t' nan anyen ki mal. Li t'ap mache byen ak Bondye.
10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Li te gen twa pitit gason: Sèm, Kam ak Jafè.
11 God saw how corrupt the whole world had become, full of violent and lawless people.
Men, tout lòt moun yo te fin pouri devan Bondye. Toupatou sou latè se te mechanste sou mechanste.
12 God recognized that the corruption in the world was due to everyone on earth living corrupt lives.
Bondye gade latè, li wè l' te fin pouri, paske tout moun sou latè te fin pèvèti.
13 So God told Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people on earth because they are all violent and lawless. I myself am going to destroy all of them, along with the earth.
Lè sa a, Bondye di Noe konsa: Mwen deside pou m' fini ak tout moun, paske se yo ki lakòz toupatou sou latè se mechanste ase. Wi, mwen pral detwi yo nèt ansanm ak tout sa ki sou latè.
14 Build an ark out of cypress wood. Make rooms inside the ark, and coat it with tar, both inside and out.
Fè yon gwo batiman pou ou ak bwa pichpen. W'a fè anpil ti chanm ladan l'. W'a badijonnen l' byen badijonnen anndan kou deyò avèk goudwon.
15 This is how to build it: the ark is to measure 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
Men ki jan pou ou fè l': Batiman an va gen katsansenkant (450) pye longè, swasannkenz pye lajè, ak karannsenk pye wotè.
16 Make a roof for the ark, leaving a cubit-wide opening between the roof and the top of the sides. Put a door in the side of the ark, and construct three decks inside.
W'a mete yon twati sou batiman an. W'a kite yon espas dizwit pous ant twati a ak rebò a. W'a louvri yon sèl pòt sou kote batiman an. W'a mete yon etaj anba, yon etaj nan mitan, yon etaj anwo.
17 I myself am going to flood the earth with water that will destroy everything that breathes, Every living thing everywhere on earth will die.
Mwen pral voye yon gwo inondasyon dlo sou latè pou detwi tout sa k'ap viv anba syèl la. tout sa ki sou latè pral peri.
18 But I will keep my agreement with you. You are to go into the ark, taking with you your wife and your sons and their wives.
Men, m'ap fè yon kontra avè ou. W'a antre nan batiman an, ou menm, pitit gason ou yo, madanm ou ansanm ak madanm pitit ou yo.
19 Take a pair, male and female, of every kind of animal into the ark and make sure you keep them alive.
W'a pran avèk ou tout yon pè nan tout kalite bèt, yon mal ak yon fenmèl. Wa fè yo antre nan batiman an ansanm ak ou pou yo pa mouri.
20 The same applies to every kind of bird, livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground—a pair of every kind will come to you so they can be kept alive.
Konsa, nan tout kalite zwazo, nan tout kalite bèt domestik, nan tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant yo, gen yon pè nan chak kalite ki va vin jwenn ou pou yo pa mouri.
21 Take all kinds of food with you too. Store it so you and the animals will have enough to eat.”
Ou menm bò pa ou, ranmase tout kalite manje, mezi ou kapab. Fè yon bèl pwovizyon mete la pou ou ka jwenn manje pou ou manje ansanm ak tout bèt yo tou.
22 Noah did exactly what God ordered him to do.
Se konsa Noe fè tout sa Bondye te ba li lòd fè a. Wi, se sa menm li te fè.
The World is Destroyed by Water
