< Genesis 6 >

1 When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
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.
2 God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.
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.
3 The LORD said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred and twenty years.”
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.
4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
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.
5 The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.
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.
6 The LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
A mihi iho la o Iehova i kana hana ana i na kanaka maluna o ka honua, a ua ehaeha kona naau.
7 The LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.”
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:
8 But Noah found favour in the LORD’s eyes.
Aka, loaa ia Noa ke alohaia mai imua o Iehova.
9 This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless amongst the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
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.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Ua hanau mai na Noa ekolu keikikane, o Sema, o Hama, a o Iapeta.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Ua inoino hoi ka honua imua o ke Akua; a ua piha ka honua i ka hoino.
12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
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.
13 God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth.
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.
14 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
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.
15 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
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.
16 You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
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.
17 I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.
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.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
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.
19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
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.
20 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.
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.
21 Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”
E lawe oe nau i na mea ai a pau, a e hoiliili oe ia iou la; i mea ai nau, a na lakou.
22 Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.
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.
