1Mẹ wọ osi, Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi oben Noa bi, “Kọ tzima ẹhọhmmọr chọ adim k'ọkpaar, okhuri bi, kaam nkk'nna bi, kọ wọ ade ọnọng kw'otzor-otzor m'ọgbọ nwa e.Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

2K'ottem kwa nden sa mbaan bi, anọng atzima afọhni ẹja, k'adem kpenamkpen pabẹ, tọkha mfa-mfa, k'obe ozenamfa, odim ọmaana kwa, ayikha k'ọkpaar nwa. Onode nden sa nni k'ẹjafọhni mbaan, k'adem kpenamkpen pabẹ, tọkha odim ọmaana kwa,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;

3abira atzọkha ọnọhn ozenamfa-ozenamfa, k'adem kpenamkpen pabẹ, odim ọmaana kwa, ifha fẹ oruk akpen obiro ohok adem pabẹ m'ọyagbin.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.

4K'iwu izenamfa k'itzitzikha, kaam ńsi ẹrọng etzebh m'ọyagbin, k'iwu arọbh afa ọmaana ka nnungiwu arọbh afa, ńdima chẹ ńdimi ekpo kpenamkpen pya nkk'nsa, py'erukhi akpen m'ọyagbin.”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.”

5Iwa Noa osi odik kpenamkpen kw'Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọtzọhn-ẹ.And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6Wa Noa ode ojinọng kw'ode cho ẹnọhna obhiri arọbh jobh, mada asi anwa achi ọyagbin.Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

7Wa Noa otzima va pẹ ttara kwanọng kwẹ ọmaana panọng pa va pẹ, bẹ adim k'ọkpaar nwa, ifha bẹ arọbh anaanga asi p'anwa.And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8Nden mfa-mfa sa mbaan k'ẹjafọhni, ọmaana sa nni k'ẹjafọhni mbaan, ọmaana ọnọhn, ttara ekpo biphyir py'ereng k'irerek,The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground

9odim ọmaana kwa, nnenga nkhebha Noa, mbiri ndim k'ọkpaar nwa, mach'Ibinọkpaabyi okk'Noa ọtzọhna.came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10Mada iwu nnuma izenamfa ikk'ikwọbha, asi anwa achi ọyagbin.And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.

11K'ogbe kw'iwa Noa okk'akpen orukha opyiri cho ẹnọhna obhiri arọbh jobh, k'iwu chi obhiri ifa s'ophe kw'ottong afa, m'ewu nduma akhekhaho amaam asi haabhada k'irerek, bẹ abira akwunga amma p'asi p'ọrọngkpakpa.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.

12Wa ẹrọng etzebh m'ọyagbin k'iwu arọbh afa ọmaana ka nnungiwu arọbh afa.And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13M'ewu nduma dani, Noa ọmaana va pẹ p'ade Shẹm, ọmaana Ham, ọmaana Japhẹt ttara kwanọng kwa Noa ọmaana panọng pa va pẹ, adim k'ọkpaar nwa.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—

14Wa bẹ awobh k'ọkpaar nwa ttara nden s'ẹtzam biphyir, atzor k'adem pabẹ, ọmaana nden s'otzer biphyir, atzor k'adem pabẹ, ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'oreng k'irerek, otzor k'odem kwẹ, ọmaana ọnọhn biphyir atzor k'adem pabẹ, ttara ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'ọkhaam mbabaang.they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.

15Ekpo ẹfa-ẹfa biphyir py'erukhi akpen, ẹtza ekhebha Noa, edim k'ọkpaar nwa.They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

16Wa nden sa mmindim k'ọkpaar nwa nde odim ọmaana kwa, f'ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'orukhi akpen, atzor mach'Ibinọkpaabyi okk'Noa ọtzọhna. Mẹ wọ e, Ọvaar Ibinọpkaabyi obhen ọmma okpori Noa k'ẹtzaanga.And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

17Asi achina ororo achi ọyagbin k'iwu arọbh afa, asi achina ororo anwa maa bẹ ayebh ọkpaar nwa anana k'asi ebir-ebir.For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

18Asi anwa k'ọhaabh, bẹ achina ororo afu k'ọyagbin bi pyẹrrr, ọkpaar on-obiro obhobh k'asi ebir-ebir.So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

19Asi anwa maa bẹ abhọri mgbegbeho si ngor-ogori biphyir m'ọyagbin.Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

20Asi anwa abhọri mgbegbeho maa ododong kw'asi ọyọhnga ndọkhi ẹrọbh.The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

21Ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'oreng m'irerek ope, ọnọhn, ọmaana nden s'otzer, ọmaana nden s'ẹtzam ọmaana ekpo biphyir py'efu m'ọyagbin, ttara anọngẹya biphyir.And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

22Ọttọhk kpenamkpen k'ogbin f'oji ọwọhng kw'akpen k'ahungmma, ope.Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

23Mando kw'Ibinọkpaabyi odimi ekpo kpenamkpen py'erukhi akpen k'ọyagbin, anọngẹya ọmaana nden, ọmaana ekpo py'ereng k'irerek, ttara ọnọhn f'ẹrọng odimi pyẹ biphyir. Wa on-orik Noa ttara ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'owobh k'ọkpaar nwa ttar-ẹ.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.

24Wa asi anwa achi ọyagbin k'iwu arọbh azenamfa obhiri jobh.And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
