1Jehova kehm tongo Noa re, <<Mehl wo song yel egbang, wo a ebangenahb eja kpee, tibre me n kahn re, wo wo li etingi nne go eying jiaThen the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

2Rod enyam bi li saang esamahr Esowo, enyam esehma esehma, nlum a nkal, a elkohn enyam bi ki li saang esamahr Esowo, enyam ebal ebal, nlum a nkal,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;

3tob ko ajoobo nruk esehma esehma, nlum a nkal, kpur bo bo jol elkpin, eji bo lˈjel behnjehle go njini.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.

4Bomo anv asongo, lˈrehng nfung esehma, m bahke tumu elahb tv ndi, bahke nake nfung atahl abal, atv atahl abal, m bahke rannge ejum ajehng ajehng ji li go elkpin, ji n limi no bum go njini.>>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.”

5Noa limi ejum ajehng ajehng ji Jehova tong-e no.And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6Noa kange nnya atahltahl a nnya atahl awubu ngare nyi nnyel ba go njini.Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

7Owo Noa a abon ebe ba nlum, nkal ewe, go akal abon ebe kehm yele egbang re bo tahre elbo go nnyel nyio.And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8Enyam bi jolo saang esamahr Esowo, a bi ki jol saang esamahr Esowo, nkal a nlum, nkal a nlum, nruk a ajoobo enyam bi kpo tohng ala go ndi,The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground

9nlum a nkal, kehm bake goji Noa ba yel egbang, ana Esowo kaa Noa ejehke.came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10Eji ma sehng nfung esehma, nnyel kehm bake go njini.And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.

11Go elku a nfung ebal mi etoono nnyahng, elya ni Noa kpˈrehnge nnya atahltahl a nnya atahl awubu, efung bˈnehm o bi abˈbehl alahb nya atahng ndi bohngo lohng, abuk alahb nya elbung lennge.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.

12Elahb kehm nake nfung atahl abal, a atv atahl abal.And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13Efung bˈnehm o bi Noa a abon ebe ba nlum, Sem, Ham, a Jafed, a nkal ewe, akal abon ebe na ara mehle yel egbang.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—

14Ajoobo enyam nkohnankohn woomo a bo o egbang ana ajoobo atohkondi go nkohnankohn, a ajoobo enyam bi kpo tohng ala go ndi, a ajoobo nrur go nkohnankohn, go ejum ajehng ajehng ji kpi akpungkpung.they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.

15Ejum ajehng ajehng ji kpi elkpin, nlum a nkal, ba goji Noa ba yel go egbang.They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

16Ana wo jolo no, ejum ajehng ajehng ji kpi elkpin nlum a nkal, yele go egbang ana Esowo kaa Noa ejehke. Owo Jehova kehm bame bo tv.And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

17Go nfung atahl abal nnyel kehm kpe jo yel na budu go ndi, ana alahb jo yel ano wo jo mehl egbang bio go ndi wahre.For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

18Alahb kehm sahb yˈyel, egbang jo fuungu go ero alahb.So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

19Alahb soro asi jo yel bulu awahre wahre awong kpee go ndi.Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

20Alahb yele bulu awong nya sahb wˈwahre, kpe wahre na sehnge erula eltahl.The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

21Ejum ajehng ajehng ji jolo go elkpin, ji kpo jen ndi rannge kpee, nruk, atohkondi, enyam ekulugbe, a anyam nyame kpee nya kpo fonngo go elbung, a ane ane kpee.And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

22Ejum ajehng ajehng ji kpo v elv, ji jolo egbuk, kpo kpee.Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

23Ejum ajehng ajehng ji jolo go elkpin rannge kpee go ndi, ane, enyam, a ejum ajehng ajehng ji kpo tohng ala go ndi, nruk nyi kpo fonngo go ero, rannge bo kpee. Noa ntahng ntahng wo sa, a ane ba woomo a ne go egbang.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.

24Nnyel bulu ndi kpee go nfung atahl asehma a nfung ewubu.And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
