UGenesise 8
Umkhumbi kaNowa wema phezu kweNtaba i-Ararati
1UNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uNowa, nezilwane zonke, nezinkomo zonke ezazinaye emkhunjini;
2Kwavalwa nemithombo kazamcolo namafasitele asezulwini, kwavalwa imvula ezulwini;
3Amanzi aphenduka njalo emhlabeni, kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku eziyikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu amanzi abohla.
4Umkhumbi wema ezintabeni zase-Ararati ngenyanga yesikhombisa ngosuku lweshumi nesikhombisa lwenyanga.
5Amanzi ancipha kwaze kwaba yinyanga yeshumi; ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, kwabonakala iziqongo zezintaba.
6Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane uNowa wavula ifasitela lomkhumbi abelenzile.
7Wathuma igwababa lazulazula, aze asha amanzi emhlabeni.
8Wasethuma ijuba lisuka kuye ukubona ukuthi amanzi asebohlile yini emhlabathini;
9Kodwa ijuba alifumananga indawo yokuphumula yamathe onyawo lwalo, labuyela kuye emkhunjini, ngokuba amanzi ayesesemhlabeni wonke; wayeselula isandla sakhe, walithatha, walidonsela emkhunjini kanye naye.
10Wabuye wahlala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; wabuye walikhipha ijuba emkhunjini;
11Ijuba lafika kuye kusihlwa; bheka, emlonyeni wakhe kwakukhona iqabunga lomnqumo elikhithiziwe; uNowa wazi ukuthi amanzi asebohlile emhlabeni.
12Wabuye wahlala izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; wathuma ijuba; abangabange besabuyela Kuye.
13Kwathi ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha nanye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, amanzi ashile emhlabeni; uNowa wasusa isembozo somkhumbi, wabheka, bheka, ubuso bomhlaba bomile.
14Ngenyanga yesibili ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nesikhombisa lwenyanga umhlaba woma.
15UNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuNowa wathi:
16Phuma emkhunjini, wena nomkakho namadodana akho nabafazi bamadodana akho kanye nawe.
17Zikhiphe kanye nawe zonke izilwane ezinawe, kuyo yonke inyama, ezinyonini, nasezinkomeni, nakuzo zonke izilwane ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni; ukuze zande emhlabeni, zande, zande emhlabeni.
18Waphuma uNowa namadodana akhe, nomkakhe, nabafazi bamadodana akhe kanye naye.
19Zonke izilwane, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nazo zonke izinyoni, nakho konke okuhuquzelayo emhlabeni, ngezinhlobo zazo, kwaphuma emkhunjini.
20UNowa wamakhela uJehova i-altare; wathatha kuzo zonke izilwane ezihlambulukileyo nakuzo zonke izinyoni ezihlambulukileyo, wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa e-altare.
21INkosi yezwa iphunga elimnandi; uJehova wathi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Angisayikuwuqalekisa umhlaba ngenxa yomuntu; ngokuba imicabango yenhliziyo yomuntu mibi kwasebusheni bakhe; futhi angisayikuphinda ngishaye zonke izinto eziphilayo njengoba ngenzile.
22Umhlaba usekhona, ukuhlwanyela nokuvuna, amakhaza, nokushisa, nehlobo, nobusika, nemini nobusuku, akuyikunqamuka.
