Genesis 6 (TDX)

1Nangetseketseke ty ia’ ondaty an-tane atoy vaho nisamak’ ampelaNow when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,

2le nioni’ o anan’ Añahareo te montramontra o anak’ ampela’ ondatio naho nañenga ze nitea’e.the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.

3Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Tsy hifanjomotse am’ ondatio nainai’e ty Troko, amy t’ie nofotse, le ho zato-tsi-roapolo taoñe ty andro’e.So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

4Ambone’ tane atoy tañ’andro iizay o Nefalèo naho mbe tafara ka, le vinonje’ o anan’ Añahareo o anak’ ampela’ ondatio vaho nanaranake. Toe nifanalolahy haehae iereo, nilahitsiay.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.

5Nivazoho’ Iehovà ty halosoran-katsereha’ ty tane toy naho te nitolon-karatiañe avao ty fivetsevetsen-tro’ iareo.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.

6Le naneñena’ Iehovà te namboatse ondaty an-tane atoy vaho nanahelo añ’ arofo’e ao.And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, Ho faopaoheko ami’ty tane toy ondaty nitsenèkoo, fonga ondaty naho biby naho o raha misitsitseo vaho o voron-tiokeo fa aneñenako t’ie namboareñe.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.”

8Fe nahaoni-pañisohañe am-pihaino’ Iehovà t’i Nòake.Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

9izay ty fanoñona’ i Nòake. Vantañe t’i Nòake, tsy nanan-tahiñe amo foko’eo, vaho nindre fañavelo aman’ Añahare t’i Noake.This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

10Nisamake telo t’i Nòake: i Seme, i Kame vaho Ièfete.And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11Ie amy zay nilo-tserek’ añatrefan’ Añahare naho nilifotse ty hapiaroteñe ty tane toy.Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.

12Nivazoho i Andrianañahare ty tane toy le naheo’e te lò-tsereke naho songa nimontamontan-tsata ondatio.And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.

13Aa le hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Nòake, Fa miatrek’ ahy ty figadoña’ ze atao nofotse, amy te lifo-kapiaroteñe ty tane toy ty am’ iereo, Inao, t’ie hatraoko rotsake an-tane atoy.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.

14Aa le mandranjia lakam-poloay ami’ty mendoraveñe, le mandranjia efetsefetse amy lakañey vaho hosoro harahake naho solike ty alafe’e vaho ty añate’e.Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.

15Zao ty hamboare’o aze. Ho kiho telon-jato ty an-dava’ i lakam-poloaiy naho kiho limampolo ty am-pohe’e vaho kiho telo-polo ty haabo’e.And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

16Andranjio tafo i lakam-poloaiy vaho ampijebaño kiho raike ty ambone’e; le ano lalambey añ’ila’ i lakam-poloaiy; le andranjio vatsa ambane naho añivo vaho ambone.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.

17Toe Izaho le izaho ty hinday fisorotombahan-drano an-tane atoy handrotsake ze nofotse mikofò-beloñe ambane’ i likerañey; kila ho mongotse ze an-tane atoy.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.

18Fe ihe ty hañorizako fañina, le himoaha’o i lakam-poloaiy rekets’ o ana-dahi’oo naho i vali’oy vaho o valin’ ana-dahi’oo.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.

19Hendese’o mb’an-dakam-poloay ao ty kiroe kiroe amy ze hene raha veloñe, amy ze kila nofotse; le ho velome’o mindre ama’areo, ty lahi’e naho ty vave’e.And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.

20Amo voroñeo ty amo karaza’eo, naho o hareo ty amo karaza’eo, naho ze fonga biby misitsitsy an-tane atoy ty amo karaza’eo, songa roe ama’e ty hiheo mb’ama’o mb’eo hameloma’o.Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.

21Fonga añandeso ze karaza-mahakama le atontono ho azo, ho kamae’ areo vaho ho hàne’ iareo.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.”

22Nanoe’ i Nòake. I nandilian’ Añaharey ty nanoe’e.So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
