Kinohi 6

1 A I ka wa o ka hoomaka ana e mahuahua ai na kanaka maluna o ka honua, a ua hanau mai na kaikamahine a lakou.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,

2 Ike ae la na keiki a ke Akua i na kaikamahine a na kanaka, ua maikai lakou; lalau aku la lakou i na mea a lakou i makemake ai i mau wahine na lakou.

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all whom they chose.

3 I iho la o Iehova, Aole e noho loa ana kuu Uhane me kanaka, no ka mea, he kino no ia; aku, o kona mau la ma keia hope aku, he haneri makahiki ia a me ka iwakalua.

And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

4 Noho iho la na kanaka nunui ma ka honua ia manawa; a mahope aku, a komo aku la na keiki a ke Akua iloko i na kaikamahine a na kanaka, a hanau mai na lakou ka poe kanaka ikaika, he poe kanaka kaulana lakou i ka wa kahiko.

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore [children] to them: the same [became] mighty men, who [were] of old, men of renown.

5 A ike mai la ke Akua, he nui ka hewa o kanaka ma ka honua, a ua hewa wale no ka noonoo ana o kona naau, ana i manao ai i na la a pau.

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 A mihi iho la o Iehova i kana hana ana i na kanaka maluna o ka honua, a ua ehaeha kona naau.

And the LORD repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7 I iho la o Iehova, E luku auanei au i na kanaka a'u i hana'i, mai ke alo aku o ka honua, i na kanaka a me na holoholona, a me na mea kolo, a me na manu o ka lewa: no ka mea, ke mihi nei au i ka'u hana ana ia lakou:

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 animal, and the fowls of the air; for I repent that I have made them.

8 Aka, loaa ia Noa ke alohaia mai imua o Iehova.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

9 Eia ka mooolelo no Noa: He kanaka pono o Noa, a he hemolele iwaena o na hanauna ona, a hele pu o Noa me ke Akua.

These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man, [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.

10 Ua hanau mai na Noa ekolu keikikane, o Sema, o Hama, a o Iapeta.

And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 Ua inoino hoi ka honua imua o ke Akua; a ua piha ka honua i ka hoino.

The earth also was corrupt before God; and the earth was filled with violence.

12 Nana mai la ke Akua i ka honua, aia hoi, ua inoino ia; no ka mea, ua hana ino na kanaka a pau i ko lakou aoao ma ka honua.

And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

13 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Noa, Ua hiki mai i ko'u alo nei ka hope o na mea ola a pau; no ka mea, ua piha ka honua i ka hoino ma o lakou la: aia hoi, e luku auanei au ia lakou ma ka honua.

And God said to 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 E hana oe i halelana nou; e hana hoi oe i na keena maloko o ka halelana, a e hapala ae i ke kepau maloko a mawaho.

Make thee an ark of gopher-wood: rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

15 Penei kau e hana aku ai: ekolu haneri kubita o ka loa o ka halelana, he kanalima na kubita ka laula, a he kanakolu na kubita o kona kiekie.

And this [is the fashion] in which thou shalt make it: the length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

16 He malamalama kau e hana'i ma ka halelana, a e hoopaa ia mea maluna ma ke kubita; a e kau oe i ka pukakomo o ka halelana ma kona paia: a he papalalo, me ka papawaena, a me ka papaluna kau e hana'i ma ia mea.

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 its side: [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.

17 A owau la e, e lawe mai ana au i ke kaiakahinalii maluna o ka honua, i mea e lukuia'i na mea io a pau, i ka poe nona ka hanu ola malalo o ka lani; a e make na mea a pau ma ka honua.

And behold, I, even I do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, in which [is] the breath of life, from under heaven: [and] every thing that [is] on the earth shall die.

18 Aka, e hoopaa aku au i ka'u berita ia oe; a e komo ae oe iloko o ka halelana, o oe, me kau mau keikikane, a me kau wahine, a me na wahine a kau mau keikikane.

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 A no na mea io a pau e ola ana, e lawe oe i elua o kela mea keia mea iloko o ka halelana, i kane i wahine, i malama ola pu ia lakou me oe.

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 O na manu ma ko lakou ano, a o na holoholona, ma ko lakou ano, a o kela mea kolo keia mea kolo o ka honua, ma kona ano iho, e hele papalua mai lakou iou la, i malama ola ia lakou.

Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping animal of the earth after its kind, two of every [sort] shall come to thee, to keep [them] alive.

21 E lawe oe nau i na mea ai a pau, a e hoiliili oe ia iou la; i mea ai nau, a na lakou.

And take thou to 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 Pela o Noa i hana'i; ma ka mea a pau a ke Akua i kauoha mai ai ia ia, pela oia i hana'i.

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

The World is Destroyed by Water
