iGenesis iGenesis 6
iGenesis 6
Oonyana bakaThixo, uShem, uHam, noYafete.
1Kuthe bakuqala ukwanda abantu ehlabathini, kwazalwa iintombi. 2Oonyana bakaThixo babona iintombi zabantu ukuba zizithande; bazizekela abafazi kubo bonke ababanyulayo. 3Wathi uYehova, Umoya wam awusayi kuhlala usebenza emntwini, ngokuba eyinyama; imihla yakhe iya kuba yiminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mabini. 4Ngaloo mihla bekukho iingxilimbela ehlabathini; Emveni koko, xeshikweni oonyana bakaThixo bangenayo kuzo iintombi zabantu, zabazalela oonyana, zaba ngamagorha amandulo, amadoda anegama. 5Wabona uThixo ukuba ububi babantu bandile ehlabathini, zonke iingcamango zentliziyo yabo zibububi bodwa. 6Wazohlwaya uYehova ngenxa yokuba emenzile umntu emhlabeni, waba buhlungu entliziyweni yakhe. 7Wathi uYehova, Ndiya kumcima ehlabathini umntu endimdalileyo; umntu nesilwanyana. Nezinambuzane, neentaka zezulu; kuba ndiyaxolisa xa ndizenza. 8uNowa yena wababalwa nguYehova. 9Yiyo le ke inzala kaNowa. uNowa waye eyindoda elilungisa, egqibeleleyo, ezizukulwaneni zakhe. uNowa wahamba noThixo. 10uNowa wazala oonyana abathathu: uShem, noHam, noYafete. 11Ihlabathi lalibolile emehlweni kaThixo, yaye ihlabathi lalizele lugonyamelo. 12uThixo walikhangela ihlabathi, nalo, libolile; ngokuba yonke inyama ilahlile indlela yayo ehlabathini. 13Wathi uThixo kuNowa, Isiphelo senyama yonke sifikile phambi kobuso bam; ngokuba ihlabathi lizele lugonyamelo oluphuma kubo; yabona, ndiya kubonakalisa, bona nehlabathi. 14Zenzele umkhombe ngomthi; Uze wenze amagumbi etyeyeni, uyithambise ngomthwebeba ngaphakathi nangaphandle. 15Nantsi indlela oya kukwenza ngayo: Ubude bomkhombe bube ngamakhulu amathathu eekubhite, ububanzi bube ngamashumi amahlanu eekubhite, ukuphakama kwawo kube ziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu. 16Wenze ikroba emkhombeni, ukuligqiba kwakho kube yikubhite enye, ithabathela phezulu; ulumise ucango lwetyeya ngecala; kumgangatho ophantsi, umgangatho wesibini nowesithathu kufuneka uyenze. 17Uyabona, ndihlisa unogumbe wamanzi ehlabathini, wokonakalisa yonke inyama enomoya wokuphila phantsi kwezulu; kwaye yonke into esemhlabeni iya kufa. 18Ndowumisa mna umnqophiso wam nani; ungene emkhombeni wena, noonyana bakho, nomkakho, nabafazi boonyana bakho, ndawonye nawe. 19Kwizinto zonke eziphilileyo, kwinyama yonke, ngenisa emkhombeni ngambini kuzo zonke, ngohlobo ngalunye, ukuze zisindiswe nawe; iya kuba yindoda nomfazi. 20Kwiintaka ngohlobo lwazo, kwiinkomo ngohlobo lwazo, ezinambuzaneni zonke zomhlaba ngohlobo lwazo, zibe ngambini kuzo zonke, eziya kungena kuwe, ukuba zisindiswe. 21Thabatha konke ukudla okudliwayo, ukuqokelele; ibe kukutya kwenu nakokwabo. 22Wenjenjalo uNowa; njengako konke uThixo abemwisele umthetho ngako, wenjenjalo.
