UGenesisi 7
1 INkosi yasisithi kuNowa: Ngena wena lendlu yakho yonke emkhunjini, ngoba wena ngikubone ulungile phambi kwami kulesisizukulwana.
Basa naa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Noh nae, “Au mete neu bee-bꞌee, akaꞌ ho fo rala ma ndoos. Huu naa, mo sao-ana mara, ofai rala mi leo.
2 Kuyo yonke inyamazana ehlambulukileyo uzazithathela ngasikhombisa ngasikhombisa, enduna lensikazi yayo; njalo kuyo inyamazana engahlambulukanga ezimbili, enduna lensikazi yayo.
Mendi basa banda fo hei miaꞌ ra, ma basa banda fo hei tao neu tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Auꞌ ra, pasan hitu-hitu ofai rala neu. Mendi basa mbuiꞌ ra, pasan beꞌe hituꞌ boe. Te banda feaꞌ ra naa, mendi pasan beꞌe esaꞌ a. No taꞌo naa, banda ma mbuiꞌ naa ra, dadꞌi fini, fo ara afiꞌ mopo.
3 Lakuzo inyoni zamazulu ngasikhombisa ngasikhombisa, enduna lensikazi, ukulondoloza inhlanyelo iphila ebusweni bomhlaba wonke.
4 Ngoba kusele izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, besenginisa izulu emhlabeni, izinsuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane, ngibhubhise konke okuphilayo, engakwenzayo, ebusweni bomhlaba.
Musunedꞌa malolole e! Te helaꞌ a fai hitu ena, Au uꞌondaꞌ udꞌan nda hahae sa, losa rereloꞌ fai haa nulu ma tetembaꞌ fai haa nulu. Naa fo, mate basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia madꞌaꞌ ata, fo Au uꞌudadadꞌiꞌ alaꞌ ra.”
5 UNowa wasesenza njengakho konke iNkosi eyamlaya khona.
Boe ma, Noh tao tungga basa LAMATUALAIN parenda Na.
6 UNowa wayeleminyaka engamakhulu ayisithupha, lapho uzamcolo wamanzi ephezu komhlaba.
Noh too natun nee ma, oeꞌ a lala nema.
7 UNowa wasengena emkhunjini lamadodana akhe lomkakhe labafazi bamadodana akhe kanye laye, ngenxa yamanzi kazamcolo.
Ana no sao na, ana nara, ma ana feto feu nara, ofai rala reu, fo rasodꞌa mia oe mandali monaeꞌ a.
8 Kuzo inyamazana ezihlambulukileyo, lakuzo inyamazana ezingahlambulukanga, lakuzo inyoni, lakukho konke okuhuquzelayo phezu komhlaba,
Noh o tungga LAMATUALAIN parenda Na, de nendi basa mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ ma banda feaꞌ ra, esaꞌ no nonoo na, mae banda fo atahori raaꞌ ra, ma banda fo atahori nda raaꞌ ra sa.
9 ngambili ngambili kweza kuNowa emkhunjini, okuduna lokusikazi, njengoba uNkulunkulu emlayile uNowa.
10 Kwasekusithi emva kwensuku eziyisikhombisa amanzi kazamcolo ayephezu komhlaba.
Basa fai hitu ma, udꞌan monaeꞌ mboꞌa nema, fo nae tatana raefafoꞌ a.
11 Ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha wempilo kaNowa, ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lwetshumi lesikhombisa lwenyanga, ngalolosuku yonke imithombo yokujula okukhulu yaqhekezwa, lamasango empophoma zamazulu avulwa.
Noh too natun nee, fula rua, fai sanahulu hitu ma, oe monaeꞌ a nema! Onaꞌ lalai a lelesu na nenesoiꞌ, de oeꞌ a mboꞌa rae neu. Ma basa oe mataꞌ sia rae rala ra fanggi, de oe a nasapupuraꞌ dea neu.
12 Izulu laliphezu komhlaba insuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane.
Udꞌan o nda hahae sa hatuꞌ-rerelon, losa fai haa nulu.
13 Ngalolosuku olufananayo uNowa wangena loShemu loHamu loJafethi, amadodana kaNowa, lomkaNowa, labafazi abathathu bamadodana akhe kanye labo, emkhunjini,
Te faiꞌ naa, Noh, no sao na, ma ana nara teluꞌ se Sem, Yafet no Ham, ma ana feto feu nara, basa se ofai rala reu.
14 bona, layo yonke inyamazana ngohlobo lwayo, laso sonke isifuyo ngohlobo lwaso, lakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela phezu komhlaba ngohlobo lwakho, lakho konke okuphaphayo ngohlobo lwakho, yonke inyoni yalo lonke uphiko.
Ara rala reu ro banda mata-mataꞌ. Naeni, banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, mbuiꞌ ra ma banda malidꞌa feaꞌ ra.
15 Zasezingena kuNowa emkhunjini, ngambili ngambili, kuyo yonke inyama, okukuyo umoya wempilo.
Noh ofai rala neu no basa masodꞌaꞌ ra pasan beꞌe esaꞌ, tungga Lamatualain parenda na. Basa se rala reu ma, LAMATUALAIN nggoe ofai a lelesu na.
16 Lezangenayo, kwangena enduna lensikazi kuyo yonke inyama, njengalokho uNkulunkulu ayemlaye khona; iNkosi yasimvalela phakathi.
17 Uzamcolo wasesiba semhlabeni insuku ezingamatshumi amane; amanzi asesanda asephakamisa umkhumbi, waze waphakama phezu komhlaba.
Boe ma, udꞌan monaeꞌ a nema nakandooꞌ a losa fai haa nulu, de oe mandali monaeꞌ a boe hene naruꞌ ata neu, losa ofai a laa. Basa ma, oeꞌ a hene nakandooꞌ a, losa tatana nala lete naruꞌ ra.
18 Amanzi asephakama ngamandla, anda kakhulu phezu komhlaba; lomkhumbi wahamba phezu kobuso bamanzi.
19 Amanzi asephakama ngamandla kakhulukazi emhlabeni, zaze zasitshekelwa zonke intaba eziphakemeyo ezingaphansi kwamazulu wonke.
20 Izingalo ezilitshumi lanhlanu amanzi aqonga aphakama ngamandla, lezintaba zasitshekelwa.
Basa ma, oeꞌ a hene nda naloeꞌ sa, losa naru na meter hitu sia mbukuꞌ ra ata.
21 Yonke-ke inyama yaphela, eyayihamba phezu komhlaba, eyenyoni, leyesifuyo, leyenyamazana, leyakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela phezu komhlaba, laye wonke umuntu;
No taꞌo naa, basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia madꞌaꞌ ata ra, mate. Atahori, banda neꞌebꞌoiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, ma mbuiꞌ ra, basa se mate. Akaꞌ a Noh no basa mana sia ofai rala ra, rasodꞌa.
22 konke okulokuphefumula komoya wempilo emakhaleni akho, kwakho konke okusemhlabeni owomileyo, kwafa.
23 Kwachithwa konke okwakukhona, okwakusebusweni bomhlaba, kusukela emuntwini kusiya esifuyweni kusiya kokuhuquzelayo njalo kusiya enyonini yamazulu; kwasekuchithwa emhlabeni; kwasekutshiywa uNowa kuphela, lalokho ayelakho emkhunjini.
24 Lamanzi ayephakama ngamandla phezu komhlaba, okwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu.
Oeꞌ a nda reꞌe sa, losa fula lima.
The Great Flood
