7
1USomnini wabuya wathi kuNowa: “Ngena ngemkhunjini wena nomzakho woke ngombana ngikufunyene ungolungileko esizukulwanenesi. 2Kiwo woke umhlobo weenlwana ezihlambulukileko, thatha ngazimbili zibe likhomba, eduna nesikazayo, kodwana kwezingakahlambuluki uthathe ngazimbili kube ngesiduna nesisikazi. 3Godu nemihlobeni yazo zoke iinyoni, thatha zibe likhomba eziduna nalikhomba ezisikazi ukuqinisekisa bonyana zihlala zikhona ephasini mazombe. 4Iye, emalangeni alikhomba kusukela nje, ngizokuthumela izulu ephasini elizakuna amalanga amatjhumi amane, imini nobusuku. Ngizokuthanyela ebusweni bephasi koke okuphilako engikubumbileko.”
5UNowa wenza koke uSomnini amyala ngakho.
6UNowa gade aneminyaka emakhulu asithandathu lokha umthwalela nawufika ephasini. 7Yena nomkakhe, amadodanakhe kanye nabomalokazana bakhe bangena ngemkhunjini kobana basinde emanzini womthwalela. 8Ngakubili kweenlwana neembandana ezihlambulukileko nezingakahlambuluki, iinyoni kanye neembandana ezikhakhaba ehlabathini, 9okuduna nokusikazi, kwangena noNowa ngemkhunjini kanjengombana uZimu gade ayale uNowa. 10Kwathi emva kwamalanga alikhomba amanzi womthwalela afika ephasini.
11Kuthe ngomnyaka wamakhulu asithandathu wokuphila kwakaNowa, inyanga yesibili nayinamalanga alitjhumi nalikhomba, kwathumbuka mhlokho yoke imithombo yamanzi amanengi ngaphasi neentunja zemazulwini zatloroza amanzi. 12Kwawuluka ephasini izulu elathatha amatjhumi amane wamalanga nobusuku bakhona.
13Kwaba kumhlokho-ke mhlana uNowa namadodanakhe, uTjhemu, uRhamu noJafethi, umkakhe nabomalukazana bakhe abathathu bangena ngemkhunjini. 14Gade bangene neenyamazana zommango ngemihlobazo, yoke ifuyo ngemihlobayo, zoke iimbandana ezikhakhaba ehlabathini ngemihlobazo, neenyoni zomkayi ngemihlobazo kanye nazo zoke izinto ezinamaphiko. 15Koke okudaliweko okunokuphila, kweza ngakubili kuNowa kwangena ngemkhunjini. 16Zoke iimphili ebezingena ngemkhunjini bekungesiduna nesisikazi, kanjengombana uZimu agade ayale uNowa. USomnini wavalela uNowa ngaphakathi.
17Umthwalela wembatha iphasi amalanga amatjhumi amane. Amanzi aya ngokwanda aphakamisa umkhumbi ehlabathini wazakama. 18Aphakama, anda khulu ephasini, umkhumbi wathaya phezu kwawo. 19Amanzi akhula khulu ephasini bekwathi zoke iintaba eziphakamileko ngaphasi kwezulu zavaleleka. 20Aya ngokwanda njalo aba ngehla kweentaba eziphakeme khulu pheze ngamamitha alikhomba. 21Yoke into ephilako ekhambakhamba ephasini yabhubha: iinyoni, ifuyo, iinyamazana, zoke iimphili ezikhakhaba ephasini kanye nabantu boke. 22Zafa zoke iimphili ebeziphila ehlabathini eyomileko. 23UZimu wathanyela yoke into egade iphila ebusweni bephasi: Ukusukela ebantwini ukuya eenlwaneni, koke okukhakhabako ngitjho neenyoni kwathanyeleka ephasini. Kwasala kwaphela uNowa nalabo agade anabo ngemkhunjini.
24Amanzi agubuzesa iphasi amalanga alikhulu namatjhumi amahlanu.
