Ukwanda kobukhohlakali
1Lokha abantu nasele banda ephasini namadodakazi andile, 2amadodana kaZimu abona bonyana amadodakazi wabantu mahle, azithathela abafazi abathandekako kiwo. 3Yeke uSomnini wathi: “Ummoya engawuphefumulela emuntwini awusoze wahlala ebantwinaba isiphelani ngombana umuntu uyinyama nje. Yeke ipilo yomuntu ayisoze yadlula eminyakeni elikhulu namatjhumi amabili.”
4Ngeenkhathezo nangemuva kwalokho bekukhona iintsitsirimba ephasini ngombana amadodana kaZimu alalana namadodakazi wabantu abelethelwa abantwana. Labo-ke bekuziingorho zeenkhathi zakade, okubabantu abanedumo.
5Lokha uSomnini nakabona bonyana ubukhohlakali bomuntu bukhulu ephasini nokobana imizindlo yehliziywakhe isophe okumbi ngesikhathi soke, 6wazisola bewanyama bona umenzeleni umuntu ephasini. 7Yeke uSomnini wathi: “Umuntu engimenzileko ngizomthanyela ebusweni bephasi. Ngizokuthanyela kusukela emuntwini ukuya eenlwaneni, iimphili zoke ezikhakhaba ehlabathini kanye neenyoni zomkayi ngombana ngiyazisola bona ngikudalile koke lokhu.” 8Kodwana uNowa wafunyana umusa emehlweni kaSomnini.
Umthwalela
9Naku-ke umlando kaNowa: UNowa gade ayindoda elungileko, angasoleki ebantwini besikhathi aphila kiso begodu gade atjhidelene noZimu. 10UNowa gade anamadodana amathathu, uTjhemu, uRhamu noJafethi.
11Iphasi belonakele phambi kwakaZimu begodu ligcwele umguruguru. 12Lokha uZimu nakahlola iphasi, ngambala lalonakele. Iye, boke abantu ebusweni bephasi bebaziphethe ngameswe.
13Nje-ke uZimu wathi kuNowa: “Sengiqunte bona ngibaphelise bokanyana nje ngombana iphasi ligcwele umguruguru ngenca yabo. Yelela-ke, ngiqinisile ngizobaphelisa kanye nephasi. 14Yeke yewuzenzele umkhumbi ngesigodo segofere, uwenze ube namalawana bese uwusinda ngesikontiri ngaphakathi nangaphandle. 15Nasi indlela ozowakha ngayo: Umkhumbi kufuze ube mamitha alikhulu namatjhumi amathathu nahlanu ubude, amamitha amatjhumi amabili nambili nesiquntu ububanzi namamitha alitjhumi nantathu nesiquntu ukuphakama. 16Wenzele isivalo ngaphezulu sibe siquntu semitha ukusuka emqoqweni. Umnyangwawo ube ngeqadi bese kuba nemigangadelo emithathu, ongenzasi, ophakathi nongehla. 17Mina ngizakunisa umthwalela ephasini bona ngiphelise yoke ipilo engaphasi kwezulu, okuziimbunjwa zoke ezinomphefumulo phezu kwephasi. Koke okusephasini kuzakubhujiswa. 18Kodwana ngenza nawe isivumelwano: Wena nomkakho, amadodanakho kanye nabomalukazana bakho kuzakufanela bona ningene emkhunjini. 19Kufuze ungenise ngemkhunjini ngakubili kwazo zoke iindalwa eziphilako, kube ngokuduna nokusikazi bonyana kuphile kanye nawe kuphephile. 20Iinyoni ngemihlobazo, iinlwana ngemihlobazo kanye neembandana ezikhakhaba phasi ngemihlobazo, koke lokhu akube ngakubili ukwenzela bonyana kusinde kanye nawe. 21Yeke wena thatha loke ihlobo lokudla ungene nalo bona kube kukudla kwenu nekwazo.”
22UNowa wenza koke uZimu agade amyale ngakho. Iye, wakwenza koke.
