1It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
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 ground, and daughters were born unto them,
2that God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.
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 that they chose.
3Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years.”
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 Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
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.
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.
4The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
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.
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 Jehovah 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.
6Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
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 Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
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.”
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 Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.
8 Amma Nuhu du gomni Rabbi do.

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 righteous man, [and] perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God.

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

11 Ndunnya mo hasara Irikoy jine, ndunnya to da toonye mo.
11And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

12And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
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.
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.

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.

21And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
