1 Saaya kaŋ borey sintin ka baa ndunnya fando boŋ, i na ize wayboroyaŋ hay.
1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 Kala Irikoy izey di kaŋ borey ize wayey ga boori. I na wandeyaŋ suuban ka sambu i ra, wo kulu kaŋ ngey ga ba.
2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 Kala Rabbi ne: «Ay Biya si kakaw da boro hal abada, zama nga wo Adam-ize no. Amma jirbey kaŋ a ga goro ga to jiiri zangu nda waranka.»
3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 Jirbey din ra Nefilimyaŋ* go ndunnya ra, da tunfaana banda mo. D'i margu nda borey ize wayey, i ga izeyaŋ hay i se. Ngey no ga ti boro gaabikooney kaŋ yaŋ goro doŋ, borey kaŋ yaŋ te maa.
4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 Rabbi di kaŋ borey laala baa ndunnya ra. A di mo mate kaŋ hay kulu kaŋ i ga miila ngey biney ra, ilaalo koonu no waati kulu.
5And God 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.
6 Haya kokor ka Rabbi di da kaŋ nga na boro te ndunnya boŋ. A dooru a gaa a bina ra mo.
6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 Rabbi ne: «Borey kaŋ ay taka, ay g'i tuusu ndunnya fando boŋ: borey da almaney da ganda birantey da beene curey, zama a kokor k'ay di kaŋ ay n'i te.»
7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 Amma Nuhu du gomni Rabbi do.
8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 Woone yaŋ no ga ti Nuhu bandey: Nuhu wo adilante no, a sinda taali kulu nga zamana borey game ra. Nuhu go ga dira Irikoy banda.
9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 Nuhu na ize aru hinza hay, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti Sem da Ham da Zafetu.
10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Ndunnya mo hasara Irikoy jine, ndunnya to da toonye mo.
11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 Irikoy na ndunnya guna. A kulu go mo, a hasara, zama Adam-ize fo kulu na nga fonda halaci ndunnya boŋ.
12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 Kala Irikoy ne Nuhu se: «Fundikooni kulu to nga aloomaro me ay jine, zama i na ndunnya toonandi nda toonye. Guna mo, a si gay kaŋ ay g'i halaci, ngey nda ndunnya kulu.
13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Day nin wo, ni ma hi fo te da yufra* bundu. Fu-izeyaŋ no ni ga te hiyo ra. Ni g'a tuusu nda gudron* a ra d'a banda gaa haray.
14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 Mate kaŋ ni g'a te neeya: hiyo salleyaŋ, kambe kar zangu hinza, a tafayyaŋo ma to kambe kar waygu, a kuuyaŋo mo ma to kambe kar waranza.
15And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Ni ga naŋ hiyo funey ma saba nda kambe kar fo kuuyaŋ, m'a te beene. Hiyo meyo mo, ni m'a te carawo gaa. Ni ma hiyo te da dake-care hinza: ganda wane, da bindi wane, da beene wane.
16A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 Ay mo, a si gay kaŋ ay ga kande tunfaana haro ndunnya boŋ, zama a ma fundikooney kulu halaci, wo kaŋ yaŋ gonda fundi ka fulanzam, kaŋ yaŋ go beena cire. Hay kulu kaŋ go ndunnya ra ga bu.
17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18 Amma ay ga alkawli tabbatandi ni se. Ni ga furo hiyo ra, nin da ni izey da ni wando da ni izey wandey ni banda.
18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 Ham kulu mo kaŋ gonda fundi i dumey kulu ra, ni ma ihinka-hinka daŋ hiyo ra, alboro fo da wayboro fo, zama i ma funa ni banda.
19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Curey mo, ngey dumey boŋ, da almaney ngey dumey boŋ, da wo kaŋ ga ganda biri laabo ra kulu mo ngey dumey boŋ -- dumey kulu ra ihinka-hinka ga kaa ni do zama ni m'i fundey hallasi.
20Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 Ma konda ni banda ŋwaari dumi kulu kaŋ ga ŋwa mo k'i margu ni do. A ga ciya nin d'ey kulu se ŋwaari.»
21And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Yaadin mo no Nuhu te. Haŋ kaŋ Irikoy ci a se kulu, a n'a te.
22Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
