Genesis 6 (GEL)

1Se̱ ne̱t-ne̱ he̱e̱se̱ u̱t-no̱m u-tát u-dak, tu̱msu̱ na matu̱ u̱n ya-u̱t-gwu̱p.Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,

2Se̱ to̱ko̱n yar-tu̱ m-mya tu̱ do̱m u-ru̱ hyen ya-u̱t-gwu̱p u̱t-ne̱t o̱ so̱-ye̱ so̱k, tu̱msu̱ u̱n gaan ya-u̱t-gwu̱p i he̱ u̱n u̱ jab.the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.

3Yawe zu̱, <<Yar-u ri zaru̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t u̱-me̱ ne̱t m-mo̱mmo̱ da, remu̱ zu̱ war-tu̱ m-mar to̱ u̱n o̱tte̱. Se̱di u̱ ane̱ u-shu̱, hak-u̱s wa zaar u̱t-ze̱g u-ko̱k u-gan u̱r-shik .>>So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

4U̱ da-u o̱, tu̱msu̱ da tase̱, to̱ko̱n ne̱t-to̱ o̱ró be̱b-ne̱ i na zu̱ye̱ <<Nepirim.>> E̱ o̱ u̱r-yu̱ u-dak, da-u̱ to̱ko̱n yar-tu̱ m-mya tu̱ do̱m u-ru̱ rooge̱ u̱ ya'at u̱t-gwu̱p u̱ ne̱t-ne̱, se̱ e̱ matu̱ e̱ yaag. E̱ shu̱'u̱te̱ campa-ne̱ tu̱msu̱ be̱b-ne̱ i na o̱ m-ho̱g u̱ e̱ ne̱ i da-u̱ dim.The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and afterward as well—when the sons of God had relations with the daughters of men. And they bore them children who became the mighty men of old, men of renown.

5Se̱ Yawe hyen jab-u̱ yo̱-o̱ ne̱t no̱ng u-tát u-dak, dorog-su̱ jab-u̱ wa u̱s-be̱e̱t o̱ko̱n zarra se̱ no̱m-u̱t yo̱-to̱ u-da u-be̱e̱t.Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.

6Yawe nom namu̱ jab sok u̱ wa nomte̱ ne̱t u-dak, tu̱msu̱ wa shi u̱ remu̱ jab.And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7Se̱ Yawe zu̱, <<Me̱ hastu̱ u̱t-ne̱t u̱t-be̱e̱t tu̱ u̱m no̱me̱, du̱gu̱ me̱ u-dak, ne̱t-ne̱, u̱t-bisa ne̱ u̱ no̱m-tu̱ o̱o̱ge̱ u̱t-kurup ne̱, u̱ no ne̱ e̱ o̱ u̱t-riig u̱-do̱m u-ru̱, remu̱ jab naag me̱ u̱m no̱m-tu̱ e̱.>>So the LORD said, “I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”

8Se̱di Nuhu kwu̱mu̱g hyu̱-m pusmo̱ u̱du̱ Yawe.Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

9Tun-to̱ o̱o̱ge̱ ogor-tu̱ ko̱-u̱r Nuhu. Nuhu ne̱t-u̱ gye̱r u-Ru̱ wa, wa zatte̱ u̱r-pyap u̱ ne̱t-tu̱ da-u wa da. Tu̱msu̱ wa no̱ng m-ha u̱r-kot u-Ru̱-ne̱.This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

10Nuhu mak-u̱t ya'ag-u̱ campa-ne̱ tu̱t: She̱m u̱ Ham u̱ Jape̱t ne̱.And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11Se̱di Ru̱-u̱ hyen u̱zu̱ ne̱t-tu̱ u-dak u̱ naag tu̱msu̱ o̱ shu̱g u̱ yu̱nu̱s-du̱ jab ne̱.Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.

12Ru̱-u̱ hyen u̱ka dak-u̱ nu̱u̱te, ne̱t-tu̱ u-dak u̱t-be̱e̱t e̱ naag u̱ yu̱u̱r e̱.And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.

13Ru̱-u̱ zu̱ Nuhu, <<U̱m no̱ng u̱s-dorog u̱zu̱ me̱ ho̱ru̱ssu̱ u̱t-ne̱t u̱t-be̱e̱t, remu̱ zu̱ u̱n shu̱u̱ste̱ u-dak u̱ jab-u̱s yo̱-se̱ ne̱. Iya o̱ hen, u̱m de̱ ho̱ru̱ssu̱ u̱n be̱e̱t u-dak-ne̱!Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth.

14De̱'e̱ bo̱ no̱mu̱ hi-u̱r ró u-hat u̱ u̱t-bak tu̱ te-yu̱ u-jarin. Bo̱ no̱m u̱t-kur tu̱msu̱ bo̱ rake̱ o̱ dap-mu̱ u-te, u̱-do̱ ne̱.Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.

15Ka bo̱ do̱te̱ u̱ no̱m-du̱ hat-u ya: wu̱r-mu̱ hat-u ya do̱'e̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t u̱s-na u̱t-ko̱k u̱t-nas u̱t-shik u̱t-yu̱r o̱p , bo̱ no̱m m-hu̱k u̱s-na u̱t-shik u̱t-tu̱t u̱ o̱p u̱s-tan , tu̱msu̱ ja-mu̱ shu̱'u̱t u̱s-na u̱t-shik u̱t-yu̱r u̱ u̱s-tan .And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

16Bo̱ no̱mu̱ hat-u ya u̱r-byam, bo̱ yage̱ u-na u-gan u̱r-mo̱t du̱gu̱ do̱m. Se̱ bo̱ no̱m u-is u̱-me̱ gas-yu̱ u-hat. Bo̱ no̱m ya u̱t-kur u̱t-tu̱t ko̱-u̱-he̱ do̱m-u̱ o̱ru̱ wa.You are to make a roof for the ark, finish its walls a cubit from the top, place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.

17Gwat! U̱m do̱'e̱ tage̱ du̱ u-dak u̱ bu̱-mu̱ do̱'e̱ re̱-du̱ u-dak, mu̱ do̱'e̱ ho̱ru̱sse̱ no̱m-tu̱ u̱r-fat u̱t-be̱e̱t tu̱ u̱s-vu̱'e̱. Ko̱-uyan u-dak o̱ do̱'e̱ u̱t-mar.And behold, I will bring floodwaters upon the earth to destroy every creature under the heavens that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will perish.

18Se̱di u̱m de̱ este̱du̱ u̱s-rem ri u̱ bo̱ ne̱, tu̱msu̱ bo̱ de̱ cwadu̱ u-hat, bo̱ u̱ ya'ag-u̱ ró ne̱ u̱ ne̱ta ró ne̱ u̱ ne̱ta-tu̱ ya'ag-u̱ ró ne̱ u̱r-kot u̱ bo̱ ne̱.But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

19Tu̱msu̱ u̱m o̱ u̱t-sa u̱m guu ko̱yu̱he̱ go̱-tu̱ no̱m-tu̱ na no̱me̱ u̱t-be̱e̱t. Remu̱ iya se̱ bo̱ haatu̱n yu̱r u̱-me̱ no̱m-tu̱ u̱r-fat u̱t-be̱e̱t, u-so̱ u̱ u-gob ne̱ u̱ no̱mu̱ o̱o̱ge̱ u̱t-kurup ne̱ u-dak, u̱-me̱ u-hat u̱r-kot u̱ bo̱ ne̱, ko̱ e̱ u̱t-kwu̱s u̱r-fat.And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.

20Kab yu̱r u̱ te̱k-u̱ go̱-tu̱ ko̱yu̱he̱ bisa ya m-cwa u̱-me̱ u-hat u-so̱ u̱ u-gob ne̱ tu̱msu̱ ko̱yu̱he̱ no ya ne̱, ko̱ e̱ u̱t-kwu̱s u̱r-fat.Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.

21Bo̱ do̱'e̱ u̱ kab-du̱ go̱-du̱ no̱m-tu̱ u̱t-re̱ u̱ do̱'e̱ ko̱ru̱ bo̱ u̱t-be̱e̱t u̱ ne̱t-tu̱ u-bu ró ne̱ u̱ no̱m-tu̱ u̱r-fat ne̱ u̱t-be̱e̱t.>>You are also to take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and gather it as food for yourselves and for the animals.”

22Nuhu no̱m ko-uyan u̱ka Ru̱-u̱ zu̱tte̱ wa no̱m u-be̱e̱t.So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
