Gênesis 7

1 Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation. 2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female. 3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth. 4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground."

5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth. 7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters. 8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground 9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened. 12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship— 14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 15 Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah. 16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in. 17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth. 18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters. 19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered. 20 The waters rose fifteen cubits*7:20 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. higher, and the mountains were covered. 21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. 22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship. 24 The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.

Te Waipuke Nui

1 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Noa, "Haere mai koutou ko tōu whare katoa ki roto ki te āka; kua kite hoki ahau i a koe he tika ki tōku aroaro i tēnei whakatupuranga. 2 Tangohia e koe ētahi o ngā kīrehe pokekore, kia takiwhitu, te toa me tāna uha; o ngā kararehe poke hoki, kia takirua, te toa me tāna uha; 3 me ngā manu anō hoki o te rangi, kia takiwhitu, te toa me te uha; kia ora ai he uri ki runga ki te mata o te whenua katoa. 4 Kia whitu ake hoki ngā rā ka meatia e ahau kia ua te ua ki runga ki te whenua, kia whā tekau ngā rā, kia whā tekau ngā pō; ā, ka whakangaromia atu e ahau i runga i te mata o te whenua ngā mea ora katoa i hangā e ahau."

5 Ā, rite tonu tā Noa i mea ai ki a Ihowā katoa i whakahau ai ki a ia.

6 Nā, e ono rau ngā tau o Noa i te putanga mai o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua. 7 Nā, ka tomo a Noa rātou tahi ko āna tama, ko tāna wahine, ko ngā wāhine hoki a āna tama, ki roto ki te āka, i te wehi i ngā wai o te waipuke. 8 Me ētahi o ngā kīrehe pokekore, o ngā kīrehe poke hoki, o ngā manu, o ngā mea katoa anō hoki e ngōkingōki ana i runga i te whenua; 9 i haere tātaki rua rātou ki roto ki te āka ki a Noa, te toa me te uha, i pērā tonu me tā te Atua i whakahau ai ki a Noa. 10 Nā, i muri iho i ngā rā e whitu ka puta mai ngā wai o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua.

11 Nō te ono rau o ngā tau o te oranga o Noa, nō te rua o ngā marama, nō te tekau mā whitu o ngā rā o te marama, nō taua rangi anō i pakaru mai ai ngā mātāpuna katoa o te rire nui, ā, ka whakatuwheratia ngā matapihi o te rangi. 12 Ā, e whā tekau ngā rā, e whā tekau ngā pō, i ua ai te ua ki runga ki te whenua.

13 Nō taua rangi pū anō i tomo ai a Noa, rātou ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta, ngā tama a Noa, rātou tahi ko te wahine a Noa, ko ngā wāhine tokotoru anō hoki a āna tama, ki roto ki te āka; 14 rātou ko ngā kīrehe mohoao katoa o ia āhua, o ia āhua, ko ngā kararehe katoa o ia āhua, o ia āhua, ko ngā mea ngōki katoa e ngōkingōki nei i runga i te whenua, o ia āhua, o ia āhua, me ngā manu katoa, o ia āhua, o ia āhua, me ngā mea whai parirau katoa, o ia āhua, o ia āhua. 15 Nā, ka haere ki roto ki te āka ki a Noa, tātaki rua o ngā kikokiko katoa, o ngā mea whai wairua ora. 16 Ko ngā mea i haere, i haere he toa he uha o ngā kikokiko katoa, he pērā tonu me tā te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ia; ā, tūtakina ana ia e Ihowā ki roto.

17 Ā, e whā tekau ngā rā o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua; ā, ka nui haere ngā wai, ka whakamanutia ake te āka, ā, ka maiangi ake ki runga i te whenua. 18 Nā, ka kaha ngā wai, ā, ka tino nui haere ki runga ki te whenua; ā, ka tere te āka i runga i te kare o ngā wai. 19 Nā, kua tino kaha rawa ngā wai ki runga ki te whenua; ā, ka taupokina ngā maunga teitei katoa i raro i te rangi, ā puta noa. 20 Kotahi tekau mā rima ngā whatīanga i pari ake ai ngā wai; ā, taupokina ana ngā maunga. 21 Nā, ka mate ngā kikokiko katoa i korikori i runga i te whenua; te manu, te kararehe, te kīrehe, ngā mea ngōki katoa hoki i ngōkingōki i runga i te whenua, me ngā tāngata katoa. 22 Ko ngā mea katoa kei roto nei i ō rātou pongāihu te manawa ora, o ngā mea katoa i te tuawhenua, i mate. 23 Ā, ngaro iho ngā mea ora katoa i runga i te mata o te whenua, te tangata, te kararehe, ngā mea ngōkingōki, me te manu o te rangi; i whakangaromia atu rātou i runga i te whenua. Ā, toe ake ko te kotahi o Noa, me ngā mea i a ia, i roto i te āka.

24 Ā, kotahi rau e rima tekau ngā rā i huri ai ngā wai ki runga ki te whenua.
