1. 1LINTango bato babandaki kokoma ebele na mokili mpe babotaki bana basi,BSBBSB: Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,
2. 2LINmilimo emonaki ete bana basi ya bato bazali kitoko ; boye ekomisaki ba-oyo eponaki basi na yango.BSBBSB: the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.
3. 3LINYango wana, Yawe alobaki : « Pema na Ngai ekowumela libela te kati na moto, pamba te abengami na kokufa ; mibu ya bomoi na ye ekozala kaka nkama moko na tuku mibale. »BSBBSB: So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”
4. 4LINNa tango wana, ezalaki na bingambe kati na mokili ; mpe lisusu, milimo esangisaki nzoto na bana basi ya bato, bongo bana basi babotelaki yango bana. Bana yango bazalaki bilombe na tango ya kala, bato oyo bakenda sango.BSBBSB: 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.
5. 5LINYawe amonaki ndenge nini mabe ya moto ekomaki mingi kati na mokili, mpe tango nyonso, makanisi ya motema ya moto ezalaki kaka mabe.BSBBSB: 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.
6. 6LINBoye Yawe ayokaki mawa na ndenge akelaki moto kati na mokili mpe abongolaki makanisi na Ye.BSBBSB: And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
7. 7LINBoye Yawe alobaki : « Nakosilisa koboma kati na mokili bato oyo nakelaki ; solo, nakosilisa koboma bato kino na bibwele, na bandeke ya likolo mpe na bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu kati na mokili, pamba te nabongoli makanisi na Ngai na ndenge nakelaki bango. »BSBBSB: 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.”
8. 8LINKasi Noa azwaki ngolu na miso ya Yawe.BSBBSB: Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
9. 9LINTala lisolo ya libota ya Noa. Noa azalaki moto ya sembo mpe azanga pamela kati na bato ya tango na ye ; azalaki kosala mokano ya Nzambe.BSBBSB: This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.
10. 10LINNoa azalaki na bana mibali misato : Semi, Cham mpe Jafeti.BSBBSB: And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11. 11LINMokili ebebaki na miso ya Nzambe mpe etondaki na makambo ya mobulu.BSBBSB: Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.
12. 12LINNzambe amonaki ndenge mokili ebebaki, pamba te bato nyonso ya mokili babebisaki banzela na bango.BSBBSB: And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.
13. 13LINBoye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa : « Nazwi mokano ya koboma bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi, pamba te mokili etondi na mabe likolo na bango. Solo, nakobebisa bango elongo na mokili.BSBBSB: 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.
14. 14LINSala masuwa ya mabaya ya goferi mpo na lobiko na yo ; kabola yango na bashambre. Okopakola gudron na kati mpe na libanda na yango.BSBBSB: Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.
15. 15LINTala ndenge okotonga yango : molayi na yango ekozala na bametele pene nkama moko na tuku mitano, bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na mokuse mpe bametele pene zomi na mitano na bosanda.BSBBSB: And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
16. 16LINOkotia likolo na yango lidusu ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano, okotia ekuke na mopanzi na yango ; mpe na kati, okosala etaje ya liboso, ya mibale mpe ya misato.BSBBSB: 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. 17LINNakotinda mpela na mokili mpo na koboma nyonso oyo ezali na bomoi na se na moyi : ekelamu nyonso ya bomoi oyo ezali na mabele ekokufa.BSBBSB: 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.
18. 18LINKasi nasali boyokani elongo na yo, yango wana okokota na masuwa : yo, bana na yo ya mibali, mwasi na yo mpe basi ya bana na yo.BSBBSB: 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.
19. 19LINOkokotisa mpe kati na masuwa, mibale-mibale, bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi, mwasi mpe mobali, mpo ete obatela yango na bomoi elongo na yo.BSBBSB: And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.
20. 20LINBikelamu mibale ya lolenge moko na moko ya bandeke, ya bibwele mpe ya bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu ; nyonso ekoya epai na yo mpo ete obatela yango na bomoi.BSBBSB: Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.
21. 21LINOkozwa biloko ya kolia ya lolenge na lolenge mpe okobomba yango mpo ete ezala bilei na yo elongo na yango. »BSBBSB: 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.”
22. 22LINNoa asalaki makambo nyonso ndenge kaka Nzambe atindaki ye.BSBBSB: So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
