Genesis 7 (GOFL)

1Hessafe guye, Goday Nohe haysada yaagis; “Neeni ne soo asa ubbaara markabiya giddo gela. Ha wodiya yeletethaa giddon ta sheniya poliday ne xalaala gididaysa be7as.Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

2Neeni tuna gidonna mehenne do7a ubbaafe iya qommofe qommofe addenne macca laapun laapun, tuna mehenne do7a ubbaafe iya qommofe qommofe issi addenne issi macca gelsa.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;

3Qassi salo kafotape iya qommofe qommofe addenne macca laapun laapun oothada, biitta ubbaa bolla dumma dumma kochay de7on daana mela neera ekada gela.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.

4Laapun gallasape guye, taani oytamu gallasinne oytamu qamma ha sa7aa bolla ira bukisana. Yaatada taani medhida medhetetha ubbaa biitta bollafe quchana” yaagis.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.”

5Yaatin, Nohey Goday iya kiitida ubbaba oothis.And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6Dhayo haathay ha sa7aa bolla yida wode Nohes laythi usupun xeeta.Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

7Nohey, iya adde nayti, iya machiyanne iya nayta macheti dhayo haathaafe attanaw markabiya giddo gelidosona.And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8Tuna gidonna mehepenne do7ape, tuna mehepenne do7ape kafotapenne biittara goosheteyisata ubbaafeThe clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground

9Xoossay Nohe kiitidaysada addenne maccas nam7a nam7a gididi, Noheko markabiya giddo gelidosona.came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10Laapun gallasape guye, dhayo haathay ha sa7a bolla yis.And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.

11Nohey usupun xeetu laythi de7in, nam7antho ageenan, tammanne laapuntha gallasan, biitta giddon de7iya gita ciimmuwa pulto ubbay dhuuqi aggis. Salon de7iya haatha maskooteti dooyetidosona.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.

12Iray ha sa7aa bolla oytamu gallasinne oytamu qamma bukis.And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13Iri buka doomida gallas Noheynne iya machiya, iya adde nayti, Seemi, Kaaminne Yaafeti, iya nayta heedzata macheti issife markabiya giddo gelidosona.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—

14Do7a ubbaafe ba qommon qommon, mehe ubbaafe ba qommon qommon, biittara gooshetiya ubbaafe ba qommon qommon, kafo ubbaafe ba qommon qommon entara issife gelidosona.they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.

15Shempora de7eysati ubbay nam7a nam7a gididi Noheko markabiyan gelidosona.They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

16Xoossay Nohe kiitidaysada, medhetetha ubbaafe addenne macca gididi markabiya giddo gelin Nohepe guyera Goday markabiya pengiya gordis.And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

17Dhayo haathay oytamu gallas sa7a bolla bukishe de7is. Haathay daridi markabiya biittafe pude denthis.For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

18Haathay biitta bolla keehi darin, markabey haatha bolla tooketis.So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

19Salope garsan de7iya zumati ubbay mitettana gakanaw haathay sa7a bolla keehi daris.Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

20Haathay zumata xeerape aadhidi, tammanne ichashu wadha gakanaw diccis.The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

21Yaatin sa7a bolla woxi qaaxiya medhetethati ubbay, kafoti, mehey, do7inne, asi ubbay hayqis.And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

22Biitta bolla de7iya ba siidhera de7o shempo shempiya ubbayka hayqis.Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

23Sa7a bolla de7oy de7iya ubbay, asay, mehey, do7aynne salo kafoti ubbay sa7ape qushetidosona. Noheynne iyara markabiya giddon de7eyisata xalaali attidosona.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.

24He haathay pacconna xeetanne ishatamu gallas sa7a bolla gam7is.And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
