Genesis 7
1 Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that out of everyone who is now living, you alone always act righteously. So you and all your family go into the boat.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ, “Toonya thabina thĩinĩ, wee na nyũmba yaku yothe, tondũ nĩnyonete ũrĩ mũthingu rũciaro-inĩ rũrũ.
2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take a male and a female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
Na ũtoonye thĩinĩ na nyamũ mũgwanja mũgwanja cia mĩthemba yothe ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ thaahu, o njamba na nga yayo, na igĩrĩ igĩrĩ cia mĩthemba yothe ĩrĩa ĩrĩ thaahu, o njamba na nga yayo,
3 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
o na ningĩ ũtoonye na nyoni mũgwanja mũgwanja cia mĩthemba yothe, o njamba na nga yayo, nĩgeetha mĩthemba yacio ĩtũũrio muoyo thĩ yothe.
4 Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for 40 days and nights. By doing that, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on the earth.”
Thikũ mũgwanja kuuma rĩu, nĩnguuria mbura, yure gũkũ thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna mũthenya na ũtukũ, na niine ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ muoyo iria niĩ ndombire, ithire thĩ.”
5 Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
Nake Nuhu agĩĩka ũrĩa wothe Mwathani aamwathĩte eeke.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
Nuhu aarĩ na mĩaka magana matandatũ rĩrĩa mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ waiyũrire thĩ.
7 Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
Nake Nuhu na ariũ ake na mũtumia wake na atumia a ariũ ake magĩtoonya thabina morĩre mũiyũro ũcio wa maaĩ.
8 Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
Nyamũ igĩrĩ igĩrĩ iria itarĩ thaahu na iria irĩ thaahu cia nyoni o na cia ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ,
9 males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
njamba na nga-rĩ, igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu.
10 Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
Na thuutha wa matukũ mũgwanja mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũkĩiyũra thĩ.
11 When Noah was 600 years old, (on the 17th day of the second month [of that year/late in October]), all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst forth, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam [MET] in the sky burst open.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa ikũmi na mũgwanja, mweri wa keerĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Nuhu akinyirie mĩaka magana matandatũ-rĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩguo ithima cia maaĩ ciothe cia kũrĩa kũriku ciatuthũkire, nacio ihingo cia mũiyũro wa igũrũ ikĩhingũrwo.
12 Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
Nayo mbura ĩkiura thĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũthenya na ũtukũ.
13 On the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives.
Mũthenya o ro ũcio nĩguo Nuhu na ariũ ake, Shemu, na Hamu na Jafethu, hamwe na mũtumia wake na atumia a ariũ ake atatũ maatoonyire thabina.
14 They had already put in the boat some of every kind of wild animal and every kind of livestock and every kind of bird and every other creature that has wings.
Nao maarĩ na mĩthemba yothe ya nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o nyamũ kũringana na mũthemba wayo, na mahiũ mothe kũringana na mĩthemba yamo, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na nyoni ciothe kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ mathagu.
15 Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
Ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ mĩhũmũ ya muoyo igĩũka kũrĩ Nuhu igĩtoonya thabina igĩrĩ igĩrĩ.
16 There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
Nyamũ iria ciatoonyire thĩinĩ ciarĩ njamba na nga cia mĩthemba yothe ya indo iria irĩ muoyo, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aathĩte Nuhu. Nake Jehova akĩmũhingĩrĩria thĩinĩ.
17 It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
Handũ ha matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, mũiyũro ũcio ũgĩthiĩ na mbere kuongerereka thĩ, na o ũrĩa maaĩ macio maingĩhaga makĩoya thabina ĩyo na igũrũ mũno na ĩkĩreera igũrũ rĩa maaĩ.
18 As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra na makĩongerereka mũno gũkũ thĩ, nayo thabina ĩkĩreera maaĩ igũrũ.
19 The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
Maaĩ macio makĩambatĩra mũno igũrũ wa thĩ, nacio irĩma ciothe iria ndaaya na igũrũ gũkũ mũhuro wa matu guothe ikĩhumbĩrwo nĩmo.
20 Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
Maaĩ macio maambatire makĩhumbĩra irĩma na makĩria ma buti mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
21 As a result, every living creature on the surface of the earth died. That included birds and livestock and wild animals and other creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the people.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo na gĩathiiaga gũkũ thĩ gĩgĩkua, nyoni, na mahiũ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ciahunjĩte thĩ, o na andũ othe.
22 On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ thĩ nyũmũ na kĩarĩ na mĩhũmũ ya muoyo maniũrũ-inĩ makĩo gĩgĩkua.
23 God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ muoyo gũkũ thĩ guothe gĩkĩniinwo biũ; andũ na nyamũ na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ ikĩniinwo ciothe gũkũ thĩ. No Nuhu watigarire hamwe na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake thĩinĩ wa thabina.
24 The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
Maaĩ macio magĩikara mahumbĩrĩte thĩ matukũ igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩtano.
The Great Flood
