Genesis 7 (GAX)

1Mootiin Waan Maraa Nohiin, «Dhaloota kana keessaa ati callaan balchaa akka teete waan dhaggeef, atii fi maatiin teeti gara hoboloo guddittii tanaa seena'a.Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

2Hori'ii fi bineensa qulqulluu te'ane mara keessaa korma torba torbaa fi dhalaa torba torba, ka qulqulluu hin te'in mara keessalle'ee korma tokko tokkoo fi dhalaa tokko tokko fuudhiitii gara hoboloo gudditti'ii galchi.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;

3Sinbirrootalle gosuma gosa isaanii keessaa korma torba torbaa fi dhalaa torba torba lafa irratti gosi isaanii akka jiru'uun jiraatanu hobolo'otti galchi.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.

4Ani guyyaa torbaan duuba guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtama lafa irratti bokkeenni akka roobu godha; dada lubbuu qabu ka ani dade mara lafa irraa haxowee balleessa!» jedhe.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.”

5Nohille kana mara akkuma Mootiin Waan Maraa isa ajaje godhe.And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6Yennaa bisaan badi'ii lafatti dhufe san, Nohi nama woggaa dhibba jaa ti.Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

7Bisaan badi'ii jalaa bayiisaaf Nohii fi niitiin isaa, ilmaan isaatii fi niitoleen isaanii gara hoboloo gudditti'ii seenane.And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8Hori'ii fi bineensi qulqulluu te'anee fi qulqulluu hin te'in, sinbirrootille, wonni lafa irra lowulle martinuu,The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground

9lama lama, kormaa fi dhalaan, akka Waaqi ajajetti, gara Nohii dhufanee woliin hoboloo guddittii san seenane.came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10Guyyaa torbaan duuba bisaan badi'ii dhufe.And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.

11Kunille bara jiruu Nohii woggaa dhibba jayeesso'oo, ji'a lammeesso'oo, ji'a san keessa guyyaa kudhanii torbeesso'oo te'e; gaafas burqituun golba qile'ee gugurdoon dho'anee, foddaan gubba'aa banante.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.

12Bokkeenni guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtama lafa irratti bu'e.And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13Guyyuma jedhame san Nohi, niitiin Nohii, ilmaan isaa Seem, Kaam, Yaafetille, niitoleen ilmaan isaa sadiinuu, isa woliin hoboloo guddittii san seenane.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—

14Bineensoti gosa adda addaa, horiin gosa adda addaa marti, wonni lafa irra lowanu marti, sinbirrooti gosa adda addaa marti, dadi koolaan ka'anu marti,they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.

15dadi hafuura jiru'uu ifi keessaa qaddu marti lama lama te'anee Nohi woliin gara hoboloo guddittii sanii seenane.They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

16Worri seenanelle, akkuma Waaqi isa ajajetti, kormaa fi dhalaa dada maraatiiyyu; achiin duuba Waaqi balbala hobolo'oo itti cufe.And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

17Bisaan badi'ii guyyaa afurtama lafa irratti roobuma roobee, lafa irra guutee, hoboloon lafa irraa ol kaate.For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

18Bisaan lafa irraa guddoo ol ka'ee, hoboloon guddittiin sun bisaan irra deente.So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

19Bisaan lafa irraa guddoo ol ka'ee, gaarota ol dhedheeraa gubba'aan jala jiranu mara dhosse.Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

20Bisaan qaccee gaara irraayyuu gara meetira torbaa dabaree dhosse.The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

21Wonni lubbuu qabaa, dadi lafa irra munyuuqanu martinuu, sinbirrooti, horiin, bineensi, nami martinuu du'ane.And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

22Wonni lafa irra le'u ka hafuura baafatu marti du'e.Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

23Waaqi waan dadamee lafa irra le'u, nama, horii, waan lafa irra lowanuu fi sinbirroota haxowee balleesse; isaan lafa irraa haxowamanee badane. Nohii fi waan isa woliin hoboloo guddittii keessa jiru qofattuu hafe.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.

24Bisaan guyyaa dhibbaa fi shantama gad hin dhidhanne.And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
