Genesis 6 (JUM)

1Aŋ wääna me jujjene kä ḍiirin ŋommañ wic, aŋ gittene kä ṭulgu ye,Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,

2malaŋŋi Jooŋ ṭulgu mäbaan yoori ŋeraŋ, aŋ iken wäkkä yaaka daa reeni ye aŋ ḍeyi.the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.

3Aŋ Pïṭo jaajjin ogo, “Wääktäŋ yeeni batta bi cääy mänbaan ti ke on bata yuungu yaakca ti, ike a mänbaan yaana tüwït ye, aŋ yuungu yeeke batta bi käälcï woo 120.”So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

4Nïïnkä yaakca ti ŋommañ wic ook yakkalaŋ ḍoŋgaŋ aŋ teyaŋ, nääŋka malaŋŋi Jooŋ ḍiññene ṭulgu mäbaan aŋ gittene merkä ye. Aŋ a iken ken a mä teykä ñomuk ku on yaaka yäṇtäŋgenen pakä me ye.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.

5Aŋ Pïṭo yiñ mänbaan yoorre ḍiirin ŋommañ wic, aŋ yoorre jiik'a naŋtä juuggen ti ye, a yaacken muure kamat.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.

6Aŋ Pïṭo jone lüüjjïn kä yaana näŋŋee kä mänbaan ŋommañ wic ye, aŋ ike nüüjjïn jone ti.And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7Aŋ Pïṭo jaajjin ogo, “Mänbaan yaana naŋŋä ŋommañ wic ye, üülü wic, mänbaan ke ḍigärgä ke waak'a layok ye, ke ḍïïrgä polloŋ jïñe, ika joni nüüjjïn kä yaana naŋŋä daa kä ye.”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.”

8Aŋ a Noo ken käññä ŋerrä Pïṭo ti.Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

9Wakkä yaaka näŋŋä ḍuuggen yuungu Noo ti ke mä yeeke ye. Ñomuk ku on kilkä Noonu ti, a Noo ken a men wotconḍe aŋ ken ḍoŋe ladaŋ me gïtï. Aŋ Noo ken baadit päy Jooŋ.This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

10Aŋ Noo gittä merkä kä ḍäk. Yäṇtäŋgenen ogo Caam, aŋ Haam, aŋ Yaapic.And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11Aŋ ŋommañ yaaññä Jooŋ ñome ti, aŋ ŋommañ küümmü kä nääŋkä yaackä.Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.

12Aŋ ŋommañ wiñe yoori Jooŋ yaaññä, nääŋka mäbaan muure nääŋken yejgene ye.And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.

13Aŋ Noo kiini Jooŋ ogo, “Nïïnkä mäbaan tiññaŋ düüñïn ñomi ti, nääŋka ŋommañ wiñe küümgene daa kä nääŋken yaacken ye. Aŋ ika ṭäkä iken cüccüdü woo ke ŋommañ.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.

14Aŋ näŋä kuun yen jaan yaana battä me ogo japar ye. Aŋ kuun näŋgä jï äärgä, aŋ paadä jok kä ḍuŋŋu toolï külok ke ŋäñe ti nuŋko piik ŋana kaaccete ti kuun jï.Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.

15Aŋ naŋä aŋŋi bäyte pääyä kä men buŋe 130, aŋ gäpte men buŋe 25, aŋ külte 15.And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

16Aŋ kuun näŋgä wiñe aŋ kääl ṭuule wääktäŋ ḍoocci waan wiñe ke teye a men buŋe ṭonṭolle. Aŋ kuun tüke naŋjä kä gunne ti, aŋ kuun jïñe kiibä gïtï, ïñï ke ṭeejjük ke ñaalok.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.

17“Aŋ ika ina tuucudu tääl piik ŋommañ wic, ika cüccüdü woo wakkä yaaka cääygene kä wääktäŋ yoken ti ye, polloŋ ŋoy. Waak'a ŋommañ wic ye, muure tüw.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.

18Aŋ ika bi ḍuccu jiik ḍoocin ke ïkï. Aŋ ïkï kaacci kuun jï ikee ke merkä yüükü ke ïïŋü aŋ määngä merkä yüükü.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.

19Aŋ wakkä yaaka a üdïn ye ti muure, ïkï äccä kuun jï kä yew yewni oon ke iiŋ dalä üt ke ïkï.And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.

20Ḍïïrgä ti daa kä biilken, aŋ ḍigärgä ti daa kä biilken, aŋ wakkä yaaka layok ŋommañ wic muure ye, daa kä biilken iken bi ätä ïkï ti kä yew yewni kaacï kuun jï üde kä.Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.

21Aŋ kuju wakkä äämkä ti, aŋ ḍülü yokïn ïkï ti, wäätï a wakkä äämkä yüükü ke iken.”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.”

22Aŋ Noo nääŋkä yaaka iingene daa Jooŋ ye, naŋŋe muure a gïtken.So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
