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

¹It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were 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.

²that God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.

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.

³Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred 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 Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

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.

⁵Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

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

⁶Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in 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.

⁷Yahweh 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.”

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

⁸But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.

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.

⁹This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

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

¹⁰Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

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

¹¹The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was 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.

¹²God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their 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.

¹³God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy 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.

¹⁴Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.

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.

¹⁵This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

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.

¹⁶You 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.

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.

¹⁷I, even I, do 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.

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.

¹⁸But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

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.

¹⁹Of 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.

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 birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them 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.

²¹Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”

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

²²Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
