Genesis 6
1 And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
Abantu bwe beeyongera obungi ku nsi ne bazaalirwa abaana aboobuwala.
2 The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose.
Abaana ba Katonda ne balaba ng’abawala abo balungi ne bawasa buli gwe beerondera.
3 And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Omwoyo wange taawakanenga na muntu emirembe gyonna, kubanga muntu buntu; n’ennaku ze ziriba emyaka kikumi mu abiri.”
4 Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.
Mu nnaku ezo, abaana ba Katonda bwe beegatta n’abawala b’abantu abo, ne babazaalamu abaana; be Banefuli abaali abatutumufu ennyo era abalwanyi abeekitalo mu biseera ebyo era ne mu biro ebyaddirira.
5 And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,
Mukama n’alaba ng’ekibi ky’omuntu kiyinze nnyo ku nsi; nga buli ndowooza y’omutima gw’omuntu mbi njereere ebbanga lyonna.
6 It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,
Mukama n’anakuwala nnyo kubanga yatonda omuntu ku nsi, n’alumwa nnyo mu mutima gwe.
7 He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Awo Mukama n’agamba nti, “Ndiggya ku nsi omuntu gwe natonda, ndisaanyaawo omuntu, n’ensolo n’ebinyonyi, kubanga nejjusizza olw’okubitonda.”
8 But Noe found grace before the Lord.
Kyokka ye Nuuwa n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama.
9 These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and perfect man in his generations, he walked with God.
Bino bye bifa ku Nuuwa n’ab’omu nju ye: Nuuwa yali muntu mutuukirivu, nga taliiko kya kunenyezebwa mu bantu b’ekiseera kye, n’atambula ne Katonda.
10 And he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth.
Nuuwa yalina batabani be basatu: Seemu ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi.
11 And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity.
Ensi yali nnyonoonefu mu maaso ga Katonda era ng’ejjudde eddalu.
12 And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth, )
Katonda n’alaba ensi, era laba, ng’eyonoonese mu kweyisa kwayo kubanga buli muntu yenna yali kyetwala nga tewakyali mutuukirivu.
13 He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth.
Katonda kwe kugamba Nuuwa nti, “Mmaliridde okuzikiriza buli muntu, kubanga ensi ejjudde eddalu; laba, nzija kubazikiriza mbamalewo ku nsi.
14 Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without.
Naye ggwe Nuuwa weekolere eryato mu muti gofeeri, okolemu ebisenge, olibikke n’envumbo munda ne kungulu.
15 And thus shalt thou 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.
Bw’oti bw’oba olikola: obuwanvu bwalyo mita kikumi mu ana, n’obugazi mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu, n’obugulumivu mita kkumi na ssatu n’ekitundu.
16 Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Bw’oliba olizimba, waggulu oteekangayo akasolya nga kabika kimu kyakubiri ekya mita. Omulyango gwalyo oguteekanga mu mbiriizi zaalyo. Okolanga eryato lya kalinassatu, ery’emyaliiro: ogwa wansi n’ogwokubiri, n’ogwokusatu.
17 Behold I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, under heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be consumed.
Ndireeta amataba ku nsi, okuzikiriza buli kiramu, ekissa omukka, ekiri wansi w’eggulu; buli ekiri ku nsi kya kufa.
18 And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
Naye ndikola endagaano naawe. Oliyingira mu lyato, ggwe, ne mukazi wo, ne batabani bo, ne baka batabani bo wamu naawe.
19 And of every living creature of all flesh, thou shalt bring two of a sort into the ark, that they may live with thee: of the male sex, and the female.
Oliyingira mu lyato na buli kiramu ekirina omubiri; oliyingiza bibiri bibiri ekisajja n’ekikazi bibeere biramu naawe.
20 Of fowls according to their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of every thing that creepeth on the earth according to its kind; two of every sort shall go in with thee, that they may live.
Ku binyonyi ebya buli ngeri, ne ku nsolo eza buli ngeri, na buli ekyewalula ekya buli ngeri, bibiri bibiri ebya buli ngeri birijja gy’oli, bibeere biramu.
21 Thou shalt take unto thee of all food that may be eaten, and thou shalt lay it up with thee: and it shall be food for thee and them.
Era twala buli ngeri ya mmere eriibwa, ogitereke; eriba mmere yo n’ebiramu byo.”
22 And Noe did all things which God commanded him.
Nuuwa n’akola byonna nga Katonda bwe yamulagira.
The World is Destroyed by Water
