Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass when men had begun to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters had been born to them,
Lè sa a, moun te konmanse ap fè anpil anpil pitit sou latè. Yo te vin gen anpil pitit fi.
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men! that they were, fair, —so they took to themselves wives of whomsoever they chose,
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 And Yahweh said—My spirit shall not rule in man to times age—abiding, for that, he also, is flesh, —Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty 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 The giants, were in the earth in those days, and also, after that, when the sons of God began to go in unto the daughters of men, and sons were born to them, the same, were the heroes that were from age-past times the men of renown.
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 Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;
Seyè a wè jan lèzòm te mechan toupatou sou latè, ki jan tout lajounen se move lide ase ki te nan tèt yo.
6 and it grieved Yahweh, that he had made man in the earth, —and he took sorrow unto his heart.
Li vin règrèt li te fè moun sou latè. Kè l' vin sere ak lapenn.
7 And Yahweh said—I must wipe off man whom I created from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, —for I am grieved that 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, Noah, had found favour in the eyes, of Yahweh.
Men, Noe te fè Bondye plezi.
9 These, are the generations of Noah, Noah, was, a righteous man blameless, in his generations, —with God, did Noah walk.
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 And Noah begat three sons, —Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Li te gen twa pitit gason: Sèm, Kam ak Jafè.
11 And the earth corrupted itself before God, —and the earth was filled with violence,
Men, tout lòt moun yo te fin pouri devan Bondye. Toupatou sou latè se te mechanste sou mechanste.
12 And God beheld the earth, and lo! it had corrupted itself, —surely all flesh had corrupted its way, on the earth.
Bondye gade latè, li wè l' te fin pouri, paske tout moun sou latè te fin pèvèti.
13 So God said unto Noah: the end of all flesh, hath come in before me, for, filled, is the earth with violence, because of them, —behold me, then, destroying them 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 Make for thee an ark of timbers of gopher, rooms, shalt thou make with the ark, —and thou shalt cover it within and without with pitch.
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 And, this, is how thou shalt make it, —three hundred cubits, the length of the ark, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and thirty cubits the height thereof.
Men ki jan pou ou fè l': Batiman an va gen katsansenkant (450) pye longè, swasannkenz pye lajè, ak karannsenk pye wotè.
16 A place for light, shalt thou make to the ark and to a cubit, shalt thou finish it upwards, and the opening of the ark—in the side thereof, shalt thou put, —with lower, second and third stories, shalt thou make it.
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 And, I, behold me! bringing in the flood—even waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein is the spirit of life, from under the heavens, —everything that is in the earth, shall cease to breathe:
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 therefore will I establish my covenant with thee, —and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives, with thee.
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 Moreover of all the living creatures of all flesh—two of each, shalt thou bring into the ark to keep alive with thee, —male and female, shall they be.
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 Of the bird after its kind and of the beast after its kind, [and] of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each, shall come in unto thee. for keeping 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 But thou, take to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it unto thee, —and it shall be for thee and for them for food.
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 And Noah did [so], —according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
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
