Genesis 7 (ASG)

1Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Nufu, <<Uwa a kpantsu avu n limata i nu dem adama a na me ene ta̱ avu vuza ciɗa ɗa a̱ kuta̱wa̱ wa̱ va̱ a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka aduniyan dem.Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

2Ɗika nnama n cindere n cindere a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ka nnama n ciɗa vuka n vali. Nnama mu unata vi ɗika n re n re vuka n vali koci.You are to take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate;

3Nnu n gaɗi kpamu nannai ugboku u cindere u cindere vuka n vali, adama a na icuꞋu yu nnama dem nu nnu i ciya̱ aza a wuma punu a aduniyan.and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of all the earth.

4Adama a na gogo na ayin e cindere a ɗa o okpoi a na mo kuyoꞋo mini, ayin a amangere kanna n kayin adama a na mu una ili i wuma dem m mini, ili i wuma i na n yaꞋin mi ta̱ a kutakpa i ɗa ra̱ka̱.>>For seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”

5Ɗa Nufu u yaꞋin ili dem ra̱ka̱ uteku u na Vuzavaguɗu u danai ni.And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6Nufu wi ta̱ n a̱ya̱ amangatawa̱nta̱li (600), ayin a na mini ma lyaꞋi iɗika.Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

7Nufu n vuka vi ni, m muku n ni, n a̱ma̱ci e le, ɗa a uwai a kpantsu ka. Adama a na a laꞋaka n wuma u le.And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8Koɓolo nu nnama n kutakuma nu n na a̱ kukpa̱ɗa̱ kutakuma, nu nnu, n ili i na yi o kurono a̱tsuma̱ a iɗika dem.The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground

9Aza e re e re vuka n vali a banai u Nufu. Ɗa a uwai a kpantsu ka, uteku tsu na Ka̱shile ka danai Nufu.came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10Ana ayin e cindere a lazai ɗa mini ma na ma lyaꞋi aduniyan ma̱ ta̱wa̱i.And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.

11A kanna ka kupa n ke cindere n wotoi u ire a̱ ka̱ya̱ ka amangatawa̱nta̱li ka ayin a wuma u Nufu, ɗa mini mo ɓosoi ma̱ ka̱na̱i kuwa̱ n u yoꞋi ɗa atusu a gaɗi dem a̱ ɓa̱yuwa̱i.In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

12Ɗa u ka̱na̱i kuyoꞋo mini a aduniyan ali ayin amangere kanna n kayin.And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13A kanna ka nanlo ka ɗa Nufu n vuka vi ni a uwai a kpantsu ka koɓolo m muku n tatsu n ni Shem, n Ham, koɓolo n Jafe, n a̱ma̱ci e le.On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons—

14I ta̱ Punu a kpantsu ka koɓolo nu nnama n kakamba nu nnama m kpaꞋa icuꞋu kakau, aza a na o kurono a̱tsuma̱ a iɗika feu nu nnu kakau n ili ye evelyu i na i buwai.they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.

15Aza e re e re ili i na yi n ikyamba a kuyinvika de dem, i uwai punu a kpantsu ka n Nufu.They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

16Nnama n na n uwai a kpantsu vuka ɗa n vali icuꞋu kakau uteku u na Ka̱shile ka danai Nufu, ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u ɓa̱ya̱ngi utsutsu wa.And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

17U ka̱na̱i kuyoꞋo mini a aduniyan ali ayin amangere. Uteku tsu na mini ma̱ ka̱na̱i kushana, ɗa kpantsu ku ka̱na̱i kuta̱ɗukpa̱ gaɗi nannai.For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

18Ɗa mini mo doku ma yinkpasakai aduniyan n a̱bunda̱i, ɗa kpantsu ka ku ta̱ɗukpa̱i a gaɗi vu mini va.So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

19Ɗa mini mo doku ma yinkpasakai aduniyan n a̱bunda̱i, ali kusan ku gbagbaꞋin a iɗika dem ku liɓai.Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

20Ɗa mini mo doku ma̱ ɗa̱nga̱i gaɗi ka̱u ali ma palai nsasan m gbagbaꞋin kakau n na n lazai ubapi kamanga.The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

21Ili i na i tsu zumgba̱ punu a aduniyan n wuma dem i ɗa i kuwa̱i a̱ mini, nnu nu nnama, nu nnama n kakamba ali n uma a na i aduniyan dem ɗa mini mu unai le.And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

22Ili i wuma i na yi n ayinviki dem a iɗika i kuwa̱i.Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

23Ili i na yi punu a aduniyan dem a̱ pura̱ngu ta̱ i ɗa. Uma nu nnama n ili i na yi o kurono a̱tsuma̱ a iɗika dem, nnu n ili i na i buwai. Nufu ɗa koci u buwai n wuma n aza a na a uwai a kpantsu ka n a̱yi.And every living thing on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained.

24Mini ma ma pala ta̱ aduniyan ali ayin amangecindere n kupa (150).And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
