Genesis 7
1 And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age.
Yahwe akamwambia Nuhu, “Njoo, wewe na nyumba yako wote, katika safina, kwa kuwa nimeona kuwa wewe ni mwenye haki mbele yangu katika kizazi hiki.
2 Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: but of vncleane beastes by couples, the male and his female.
Kwa kila mnyama aliye safi utakuja nao saba wa kiume na saba wa kike. Na kwa wanyama wasio safi, lete wawili wawili, wakiume na wakike.
3 Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth.
Pia na kwa ndege wa angani, lete saba wa kiume na saba wa kike, ili kuhifadhi kizazi chao juu ya uso wa nchi yote.
4 For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth.
Kwa kuwa ndani ya siku saba nitasababisha mvua kunyesha juu ya nchi muda wa siku arobaini mchana na usiku. Nitaharibu kila kiumbe hai nilichokiumba juu ya uso wa ardhi.”
5 Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him.
Nuhu alifanya yote ambayo Yahwe alimuagiza.
6 And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth.
Nuhu alikuwa na umri wa miaka mia sita wakati gharika ilipokuja juu ya nchi.
7 So Noah entred and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke, because of the waters of the flood.
Nuhu, watoto wake wa kiume, mke wake, na wake za watoto wake waliingia katika safina pamoja kwa sababu ya maji ya gharika.
8 Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that creepeth vpon the earth,
Wanyama ambao ni safi na wanyama ambao si safi, ndege, na kila kitambaacho juu ya ardhi,
9 There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
wawili wawili mume na mke wakaja kwa Nuhu na wakaingia katika safina, kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza Nuhu.
10 And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth.
Ikawa kwamba baada ya siku saba, maji ya gharika yakaja juu ya nchi.
11 In the sixe hundreth yeere of Noahs life in the second moneth, the seuetenth day of the moneth, in the same day were all the fountaines of the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened,
Katika mwaka wa mia sita wa maisha yake Nuhu, katika mwezi wa pili, katika siku ya kumi na saba ya mwezi, katika siku iyo hiyo, chemchemi zote za vilindi vikuu zilipasuka na kufunguka, na madirisha ya mbinguni yakafunguka.
12 And the raine was vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes.
Mvua ikaanza kunyesha juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini mchana na usiku.
13 In the selfe same day entred Noah with Shem, and Ham and Iapheth, the sonnes of Noah, and Noahs wife, and the three wiues of his sonnes with them into the Arke.
Katika siku iyo hiyo Nuhu pamoja na watoto wake, Shem, Ham, na Yafethi na mke wa Nuhu, na wale wake watatu wa wana wa Nuhu pamoja waliingia katika safina.
14 They and euery beast after his kinde, and all cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth after his kinde, and euery foule after his kinde, euen euery bird of euery fether.
Waliingia pamoja na kila mnyama wa mwitu kwa jinsi yake, na kila mnyama wa kufugwa kwa jinsi yake, na kila kitambaacho juu ya ardhi kwa jinsi yake, na kila aina ya ndege kwa jinsi yake, kila aina ya kiumbe chenye mabawa.
15 For they came to Noah into ye Arke, two and two, of all flesh wherein is ye breath of life.
Viwili viwili katika kila chenye mwili ambacho kilikuwa na pumzi ya uhai kilikuja kwa Nuhu na kuingia katika safina.
16 And they entring in, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
Wanyama walioingia ndani walikuwa wakiume na kike katika wote wenye mwili; wakaingia kama vile Mungu alivyokuwa amemwagiza. Kisha Yahwe akawafungia mlango.
17 Then ye flood was fourtie dayes vpon the earth, and the waters were increased, and bare vp the Arke, which was lift vp aboue the earth.
Kisha gharika ikaja juu ya nchi kwa siku arobaini, na maji yakaongezeka na kuinua safina juu ya nchi.
18 The waters also waxed strong, and were increased exceedingly vpon the earth, and the Arke went vpon the waters.
Maji yakafunika kabisa nchi, na safina ikaelea juu ya uso wa maji.
19 The waters preuailed so exceedingly vpon the earth, that all the high mountaines, that are vnder the whole heauen, were couered.
Maji yakaongezeka zaidi juu ya nchi kiasi kwamba milima yote mirefu ambayo ilikuwa chini ya anga ikafunikwa.
20 Fifteene cubites vpwarde did the waters preuaile, when the mountaines were couered.
Maji yakaongezeka dhiraa kumi na tano juu ya vilele vya milima.
21 Then all flesh perished that moued vpon the earth, both foule and cattell and beast, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, and euery man.
Vitu vyote vyenye uhai ambavyo vilitembea juu ya nchi vilikufa: ndege, mifugo, wanyama wa mwituni, viumbe hai vyote kwa wingi vilivyoishi juu ya nchi, pamoja na watu.
22 Euery thing in whose nostrels the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoeuer they were in the drie land, they died.
Viumbe hai vyote ambavyo vilikaa juu ya ardhi, vilivyo pumua pumzi ya uhai kwa njia ya pua, vilikufa.
23 So he destroyed euery thing that was vpon the earth, from man to beast, to ye creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: they were euen destroyed from the earth. And Noah onely remained; and they that were with him in ye Arke.
Hivyo kila kilichokuwa hai ambacho kilikuwa juu ya uso wa mchi kilifutwa, kuanzia watu mpaka wanyama wakubwa, mpaka vitambaavyo, na mpaka ndege wa angani. Vyote viliangamizwa kutoka kwenye nchi. Nuhu tu pamoja na wale waliokuwa naye kwenye safina ndio walisalia.
24 And the waters preuailed vpon the earth an hundreth and fiftie dayes.
Maji haya kuzama chini ya nchi kwa muda wa siku miamoja na hamsini.
The Great Flood
