Genesis 6 (MFO)

1Iwa anọngẹya attẹwọr ahaabh m'ọyagbin, bẹ abira amaan va p'ipanọng anang bẹ,Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,

2va p'Ibinọkpaabyi are bi, va mba p'ipanọng p'anọngẹya ajibh-ojibh. Mẹ wọ osi, bẹ an-atzekha ayok bani, atzọkha bẹ macha panọng pabẹ.the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.

3Mẹ wọ osi, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben bi, “Egwugwuma chaam ch'esi anọng aruk akpen, ttara ọnọngẹya dọk kewobha matzẹmaa ikhina ogbe ode, okhuri bi, ọnọngẹya ode ọkpakpa. Ttẹwọr madeden, anọngẹya akpen dọk káruk ayongi cho arọbh azadani.”So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

4K'ogbe nwuma, ttara kw'oyongi mẹ, wa aNẹphilim awobh m'ọyagbin, mada va p'Ibinọkpaabyi ayim aminava p'anọngẹya abẹ, aminava mba atzima ọbhọr, amaan bẹ va. Va mba bọ iwa ade afa-nọng, bẹ abira ade ajinọng p'atza che.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.

5Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ore bi, itzama s'anọngẹya ikk'ibara kpọng-kpọng m'ọyagbin, ttara bi, achibhi p'anọngẹya biphyir an-ade epyibha, k'ogbe kpenamkpen.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.

6Wa Ibinọkpaabyi for sẹ isẹ-ẹ nkwo, ettem ebire ẹmmẹ-ẹ, k'anọngẹya p'ọkk'ọsa m'ọyagbin.And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7Mẹ wọ osi, on-oben for sẹ bi, “Kaam ńdimi anọngẹya biphyir pa nkk'nsa, manda wani m'ọyagbin kórik. Kaam mbiri ńdimi nden biphyir, ọmaana ọnọhn f'ẹrọng biphyir, ọmaana ekpo py'ereng k'irerek biphyir. For saam isi-m nkwo bi, kaam nkk'pyẹ nyokha.”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.”

8Yina, iwa Noa ọtzọk ọphyaam k'itzitzikha s'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi.Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

9Ma wọ ode odem kw'okhuri Noa. Wa Noa ode ọnọng kw'otzor-otzor, oponga-pyibha kobiro ọkhaama mach'anọng p'ogbe kwẹ. Kẹ wa ọtzọni Ibinọkpaabyi abẹ.This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

10Wa Noa obhoni ajinọng attaan p'ade Shẹm, ọmaana Ham ttara Japhẹt.And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11Wa Ibinọkpaabyi on-ore bi, ọyagbin okk'okhibhi, obiro ore bi, ọyagbin on-ofu ttara ọgbaan.Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.

12Ibinọkpaabyi ore odem kw'ọyagbin okk'okhibhi opyiri, da anọngẹya biphyir k'ọyagbin akk'akpen pa bẹ akhibhi.And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.

13Mẹ wọ osi, Ibinọkpaabyi oben Noa bi, “Kaam nkk'ochibhi nsa bi, ńdimi anọngẹya biphyir, da ọyagbin on-ofu ttara ọgbaan, okhuri ọnọngẹya. Kker e, kaam ńdimi anọngẹya odimi biphyir ttara ọyagbin nwa.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.

14Kọ Noa, tzima agbaakhakpa p'echi ch'ẹgaang-ọgaangi, amun ọkpaar kw'ideden anang for sọ. Si mmanggọ k'ọkpaar nwa ẹtzaanga, atzima ẹbaanttim akpa aphaangi pẹ k'iyaan, ọmaana k'ẹtzaanga, ifha asi aningi k'ọkpaar ẹtzaanga adimi.Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.

15Manda wọ kw'arenga amun ọkpaar nwa. Adum pẹ áde ndọkhi ẹnọhna obhiri arọbh afa obhiri jobh, ẹ̀kpá chẹ éde ndọkhi arọbh attaan obhiri chi, ebe chẹ éde ndọkhi arọbh afa obhiri nzen.And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

16Si ittakhọhnga abubh-ẹ, ttẹwọr k'amma-kpabem pyiri k'ittakhọhnga, ahok ọphaangi kw'óde ẹtzọkhi k'obungi ọmaana igbokha makhọra. Si ọmma k'ẹbhabhaanga ch'okhubha wani kw'ọkpaar nwa, asi nyọng nttaan, dani k'irekh-irek, dani m'ottem, ndongo k'ẹrọng.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.

17Kaam ńdọhm asi p'áchi ọttọhk kpenamkpen m'ọyagbin, ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'orukhi akpen. Ọttọhk kpenamkpen m'ọyagbin óbiro ópope.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.

18Onode kọ, kaam ńsi echekhi chaam nnang kọ ọmaana va pọ, ttara kwanọng kwọ, ọmaana panọng pa va pọ, bọng biphyir adim k'ọkpaar nwa ẹtzaanga.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.

19Kọ átzọkha adem afa-afa p'ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'orukhi akpen, ojinọng ọmaana kwanọng, adim k'ọkpaar nwa ẹtzaanga, ifha pyẹ eruk akpen ttara kọ k'ọkpaar.And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.

20Adem afa-afa p'ọnọhn kpenamkpen, ọmaana pa nden kpenamkpen, ttara p'ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'oreng k'irerek, ékwu ifha ahok pyẹ akpen.Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.

21Kọ tzobha ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'ode ọchattọhk ọnang bọng, f'obiro ode ọchattọhk ọnang nden nnonggo biphyir, aye k'ọkpaar.”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.”

22Noa osi odik kpenamkpen mach'Ibinọkpaabyi ọtzọhn-ẹ.So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
