1Basa naa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Noh nae, “Au mete neu bee-bꞌee, akaꞌ ho fo rala ma ndoos. Huu naa, mo sao-ana mara, ofai rala mi leo.Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

2Mendi basa banda fo hei miaꞌ ra, ma basa banda fo hei tao neu tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Auꞌ ra, pasan hitu-hitu ofai rala neu. Mendi basa mbuiꞌ ra, pasan beꞌe hituꞌ boe. Te banda feaꞌ ra naa, mendi pasan beꞌe esaꞌ a. No taꞌo naa, banda ma mbuiꞌ naa ra, dadꞌi fini, fo ara afiꞌ mopo.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;

4Musunedꞌa malolole e! Te helaꞌ a fai hitu ena, Au uꞌondaꞌ udꞌan nda hahae sa, losa rereloꞌ fai haa nulu ma tetembaꞌ fai haa nulu. Naa fo, mate basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia madꞌaꞌ ata, fo Au uꞌudadadꞌiꞌ alaꞌ ra.”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.”

5Boe ma, Noh tao tungga basa LAMATUALAIN parenda Na.And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6Noh too natun nee ma, oeꞌ a lala nema.Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

7Ana no sao na, ana nara, ma ana feto feu nara, ofai rala reu, fo rasodꞌa mia oe mandali monaeꞌ a.And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8Noh o tungga LAMATUALAIN parenda Na, de nendi basa mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ ma banda feaꞌ ra, esaꞌ no nonoo na, mae banda fo atahori raaꞌ ra, ma banda fo atahori nda raaꞌ ra sa.The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground

10Basa fai hitu ma, udꞌan monaeꞌ mboꞌa nema, fo nae tatana raefafoꞌ a.And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.

11Noh too natun nee, fula rua, fai sanahulu hitu ma, oe monaeꞌ a nema! Onaꞌ lalai a lelesu na nenesoiꞌ, de oeꞌ a mboꞌa rae neu. Ma basa oe mataꞌ sia rae rala ra fanggi, de oe a nasapupuraꞌ dea neu.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.

12Udꞌan o nda hahae sa hatuꞌ-rerelon, losa fai haa nulu.And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13Te faiꞌ naa, Noh, no sao na, ma ana nara teluꞌ se Sem, Yafet no Ham, ma ana feto feu nara, basa se ofai rala reu.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—

14Ara rala reu ro banda mata-mataꞌ. Naeni, banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, mbuiꞌ ra ma banda malidꞌa feaꞌ ra.they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.

15Noh ofai rala neu no basa masodꞌaꞌ ra pasan beꞌe esaꞌ, tungga Lamatualain parenda na. Basa se rala reu ma, LAMATUALAIN nggoe ofai a lelesu na.They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

17Boe ma, udꞌan monaeꞌ a nema nakandooꞌ a losa fai haa nulu, de oe mandali monaeꞌ a boe hene naruꞌ ata neu, losa ofai a laa. Basa ma, oeꞌ a hene nakandooꞌ a, losa tatana nala lete naruꞌ ra.For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

20Basa ma, oeꞌ a hene nda naloeꞌ sa, losa naru na meter hitu sia mbukuꞌ ra ata.The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

21No taꞌo naa, basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia madꞌaꞌ ata ra, mate. Atahori, banda neꞌebꞌoiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, ma mbuiꞌ ra, basa se mate. Akaꞌ a Noh no basa mana sia ofai rala ra, rasodꞌa.And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

24Oeꞌ a nda reꞌe sa, losa fula lima.And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
