¹[Noa sy ny Safo-drano] Ary raha vao nihamaro ny olona tambonin'ny tany ka teraka zazavavy maro,

¹And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,

²dia hitan'ny zanak'Andriamanitra fa tsara tarehy ny zanakavavin'ny olona; ka dia nifidy vady ho azy tamin'izy rehetra araka izay tiany izy.

²and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

³Ary hoy Jehovah: Tsy mba hanapaka mandrakariva ao amin'ny olona ny Fanahiko, fa amin'ny faniavany dia nofo izy; nefa ho roa-polo amby zato taona ny androny.

³And Jehovah saith, `My Spirit doth not strive in man — to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:` and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.

⁴Ny Nefilima nitoetra tambonin'ny tany tamin'izany andro izany, sy taorian'izany koa, raha nivady tamin'ny zanakavavin'ny olona ny zanak'Andriamanitra, ka niterahany; ireo no ilay olo-mahery hatrizay ela izay, dia ny lehilahy nanan-daza.

⁴The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them — they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name.

⁵Ary hitan'i Jehovah fa be ny faharatsian'ny olona tambonin'ny tany, ka izay fisainana rehetra avy amin'ny fony dia ratsy ihany mandritra ny andro.

⁵And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;

⁶Ary Jehovah nanenina noho ny nanaovany ny olona tambonin'ny tany, ka nalahelo ny fony.

⁶and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself — unto His heart.

⁷Dia hoy Jehovah: Haringako tsy hisy ambonin'ny tany ny olona izay noforoniko, hatramin'ny olona ka hatramin'ny biby fiompy sy ny biby mandady na mikisaka mbamin'ny voro-manidina; fa manenina Aho noho ny nanaovako azy.

⁷And Jehovah saith, `I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.`

⁸Fa Noa kosa nahita fitia teo imason'i Jehovah.

⁸And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.

⁹Ary izao no tantaran'i Noa: Noa dia lehilahy marina sady tsy nisy tsiny teo amin'ny olona niara-belona taminy; eny, niara-nandeha tamin'Andriamanitra Noa.

⁹These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually.

¹⁰Ary Noa niteraka zanaka telo mirahalahy , dia Sema sy Hama ary Jafeta.

¹⁰And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹Ary simba ny tany teo anatrehan'Andriamanitra sady heni-doza;

¹¹And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.

¹²dia hitan'Andriamanitra ny tany, ka, indro, efa simba izy; fa ny nofo rehetra samy efa nanimba ny lalany avy tambonin'ny tany.

¹²And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.

¹³Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin'i Noa: Ny faran'ny nofo rehetra efa mby eto anatrehako, satria efa heni-doza ny tany noho ny amin'olona, ka, indro, efa handringana azy mbamin'ny tany Aho.

¹³And God said to Noah, `An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth.

¹⁴Koa manaova sambo-fiara ho anao amin'ny hazo gofera; ary hasianao efitrefitra ny sambo-fiara, ka hopetahanao dity ao anatiny sy eo ivelany izy.

¹⁴`Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress;

¹⁵Ary toy izao no hanaovanao azy: hakiho telon-jato ny lavan'ny sambo-fiara, hakiho dimam-polo ny sakany, ary hakiho telo-polo ny hahavony.

¹⁵and this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;

¹⁶Ary hasianao fidiran'ny mazava ny sambo-fiara, ary amin'ny hakiho iray no hahavitanao azy hatreo ambony; ary hasianao varavarana ny rindrin'ny sambo-fiara ; hataonao efitra telo mifanongoa izy.

¹⁶a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side, — lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it.

¹⁷Ary, indro, Izaho efa hahatonga ny safo-drano ambonin'ny tany handringana ny nofo rehetra izay manam-nofonaina ambanin'ny lanitra; dia ho faty izay rehetra eo amin'ny tany.

¹⁷`And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire.

¹⁸Nefa kosa haoriko ny fanekeko aminao; ary hiditra ao anatin'ny sambo-fiara ianao sy ny vadinao aman-janakao mbamin'ny vinantonao vavy miaraka aminao.

¹⁸`And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son`s wives with thee;

¹⁹Ary ny zava-manan'aina rehetra, dia ny nofo rehetra, hitondranao roa avy isan-karazany ho ao anatin'ny sambo-fiara, hovelomina miaraka aminao; ho lahy sy vavy avy ireo.

¹⁹and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort] thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they.

²⁰Ny vorona, samy araka ny karazany avy; ary ny biby, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin'ny tany, samy araka ny karazany avy, dia, roa avy samy araka ny karazany avy, dia roa avy isan-karazany no hankeo aminao hovelomina.

²⁰Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive.

²¹Ary analao ho anao ny zavatra rehetra izay mety ho fihinana, ka angòny ho eo aminao; dia ho fihinana ho anao sy ho an'ireo koa izany.Dia nataon'i Noa izany; araka izay rehetra nandidian'Andriamanitra azy no nataony.

²¹`And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.`

²²Dia nataon'i Noa izany; araka izay rehetra nandidian'Andriamanitra azy no nataony.

²²And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.
