Genesis 7 (OMB)

1Siu i Huqe mo veve lawe Noa vena, “Siserigi ngaha niko mei renetumu, tubui lo valemu mei tubui lo valei renetumu nein ehu lolo akai toavaravara huri niko hogosie tangaloi vovohoi lo nagogu dena karumu.Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

2Goin lei mei go vataha gangarue rau mwasara hogo gaibitu mweragi vavinegi. Me dena gangarue rain mwasara tea mweragi gategale me vavinegi gategale.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;

3Vage hogo gaibitu dena gineu doluegi ram olo tau lo mahava mweragi vavinegi huri vin lulu taligu lolo ureure.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.

4Lo tagui rani gaibitu vage nain bete na uhe lo ure huri na rani ngavulu geivesi bongi ngavulu geivesi, me nain uevuhogi na gineu mwaso lo ului tano doluegi ngere hi nau teu.”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.”

5Noa uvei na gineu doluegi mwerehi i Huqe u veve lawea.And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6Noa higaona vudolue vaga ono lo taroi waga.Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

7Siu i Noa mei renetune, tubui lo valena mei tubui lo valei renetune rau ehu lolo akai toavaravara huri na waga vin lawua.And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8A gangarue rau mwasara mei ngere rain mwasara tea lo nagona, gineu doluegi ram olo, mena gangarue ram toga lo tano,The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground

9gairue gairue rau ehu mei Noa lolo akai toavaravara, mwera mena vavine mwere hi Huqe Mauri u veve lawe Noa.came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10Lo tagui rani gaibitu wai waga mo tavuigi mo luluvi na ureure.And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.

11Noa higaona vudolue vaga ono lo vule tuegi lo rani hangavulu domwagi gaibitugi walui wai meuri lolo buloi tano ram wawanga doluegi me matai wai lo mahava ram wawanga.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.

12Uhe u eno lolo ureure rani ngavulu gaivesi bongi ngavulu gaivesi.And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13Tavohe lo ranigi hi mosigei Noa mei horana mei netune Sem, Ham, Savet mei horara rau ehu lolo akai toavaravara.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—

14Me lalangai gangarue ta lolo ureure rau ehu lolo aka lalangai gangarue mwaomwaogi, lalangai gangarue turugi, lalawuagi mena wuwerigi vohogi, mena lalangai gineu doluegi ram olo rau ehu lolo akai toavaravara.they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.

15Gineu mwaso doluegi lolo ureure gairue gairue mweragi vavinegi rau ehu mei Noa lolo akai toavaravara.They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

16Me lo taro ngere mweragi mena vavinegi doluegi rau ehu lolo akai toavaravara u rovo, mwere hi Huqe Mauri u veve. I Huqe Gogona mo gorogoro na matai turegi.And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

17Siu a waga u eno lo ureure rani ngavulu geivesi, wai u horo mo lawua mo raka na akai toavaravara taulu mo tabe na akai toavaravara mo maraga dena ului tano.For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

18Wai mo horo mo lawua mo lawua vohogi lo ului tano nge aka mo halehale lo ului wai.So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

19Me ram maraga mo lawua lo ureure ram lawua vohogi lo ure mo luluvi na vusi doluegi aulu lo vavai mahava.Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

20Wai mo maraga mo selega vohogi mo gagavugi na vusi buegi aulu mo dadari vine sugu hangavulu domwagi gailime.The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

21Gineu mwaso doluegi lo tano, gineu doluegi ram olo, gangarue turugi mena gutui tano, ngere ram toga mena tangaloi doluegi rau mate.And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

22Ngere doluegi mabuhire ram mabu lolo qangora me ngere lo tano mamaha rau mate.Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

23Siu i Huqe Mauri u vei vohogi na gineu doluegi rau toga lo ului tano bubugi tangaloi mena gangarue ngere ram toga mena gineu doluegi ram olo lo mawe rau mate den ureure. Noa mei renetune, me gangarue lolo akai toavaravara hogosie rau mwaso.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.

24A waga u horo rorongo goro na ureure a rani vudolue avigi ngavulu gailime.And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
