UGenesise 8:1-12

UNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uNowa, nezilwane zonke, nezinkomo zonke ezazinaye emkhunjini; Kwavalwa nemithombo kazamcolo namafasitele asezulwini, kwavalwa imvula ezulwini; Amanzi aphenduka njalo emhlabeni, kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku eziyikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu amanzi abohla. Umkhumbi wema ezintabeni zase-Ararati ngenyanga yesikhombisa ngosuku lweshumi nesikhombisa lwenyanga. Amanzi ancipha kwaze kwaba yinyanga yeshumi; ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, kwabonakala iziqongo zezintaba. Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane uNowa wavula ifasitela lomkhumbi abelenzile. Wathuma igwababa lazulazula, aze asha amanzi emhlabeni. Wasethuma ijuba lisuka kuye ukubona ukuthi amanzi asebohlile yini emhlabathini; Kodwa ijuba alifumananga indawo yokuphumula yamathe onyawo lwalo, labuyela kuye emkhunjini, ngokuba amanzi ayesesemhlabeni wonke; wayeselula isandla sakhe, walithatha, walidonsela emkhunjini kanye naye. Wabuye wahlala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; wabuye walikhipha ijuba emkhunjini; Ijuba lafika kuye kusihlwa; bheka, emlonyeni wakhe kwakukhona iqabunga lomnqumo elikhithiziwe; uNowa wazi ukuthi amanzi asebohlile emhlabeni. Wabuye wahlala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; wathuma ijuba; abangabange besabuyela Kuye.
