IGENESIS 8:1-22 IZIBHALO EZINGCWELE (XHO75)
UThixo wamkhumbula uNowa, neento zonke eziphilileyo, nezinto zonke ezizitho ziné ezazinaye emkhombeni; uThixo wahambisa umoya ehlabathini, awutha amanzi. Yavingcwa imithombo yamanzi enzonzobila neengcango zezulu, wathintelwa umvumbi wezulu. Abuya amanzi emhlabeni, amana ebuya, awutha amanzi ekupheleni kwemihla elikhulu elinamanci mahlanu. Umkhombe wazimisa ngenyanga yesixhenxe, ngosuku lweshumi elinesixhenxe enyangeni leyo, phezu kweentaba zaseArarati. Amanzi amana ewutha, kwada kwayinyanga yeshumi; ngeyeshumi ke, ngosuku lokuqala enyangeni leyo, zabonakala iincopho zeentaba. Kwathi, ekupheleni kwemihla emashumi mané, wayivula uNowa ifestile yomkhombe abeyenzile; wathuma ihlungulu, laphuma lamana lizulazula, ada atsha amanzi ehlabathini. Wasusa ihobe, ukuze abone ukuba amanzi awuthile na phezu kwehlabathi. Ihobe alifumanaga ndawo yakuphumza nentende yethupha lalo, labuyela kuye emkhombeni, ngokuba amanzi abephezu kwehlabathi lonke; wolula isandla sakhe, walithabatha, walingenisa kuye emkhombeni. Walinda eminye imihla esixhenxe, waphinda walisusa ihobe emkhombeni. Leza kuye ihobe ngexesha langokuhlwa; nanko, kukho igqabi lomnquma elisandula ukukhiwa emlonyeni walo; wazi uNowa, ukuba ehlile amanzi ehlabathini. Walinda eminye imihla ekwasixhenxe, walisusa ihobe; aliphindanga libuyele kuye kanjalo. Kwathi, ngomnyaka wamakhulu omathandathu anamnye, ngolokuqala enyangeni yokuqala, amanzi atsha ehlabathini; uNowa walususa uphahla lomkhombe; wakhangela, nango umhlaba womile. Ngenyanga yesibini, ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesixhenxe enyangeni leyo, woma kwaphela umhlaba. Wathetha uThixo kuNowa, esithi, Phuma emkhombeni, wena nomkakho, noonyana bakho, nabafazi boonyana bakho, ndawonye nawe. Zonke izinto eziphilileyo ezikuwe, kwinyama yonke, ezintakeni, nasezintweni ezizitho ziné, nasezinambuzaneni zonke ezinambuzelayo emhlabeni, phuma nazo, zizalìse ihlabathi, ziqhame, zande ehlabathini. Waphuma ke uNowa, noonyana bakhe, nomkakhe, nabafazi boonyana bakhe, ndawonye naye. Zonke izinto eziphilileyo, zonke izinambuzane, neentaka zonke, iinto zonke ezinambuzelayo emhlabeni, ngeentlobo zazo, zaphuma emkhombeni. UNowa wamakhela uYehova isibingelelo, wathabatha kwizinto zonke ezizitho ziné ezihlambulukileyo, nakwiintaka zonke ezihlambulukileyo, wanyusa amadini anyukayo esibingelelweni eso. UThixo weva ivumba elithozamisayo, wathi uYehova entliziyweni yakhe, Andisayi kuphinda ndilitshabhise ihlabathi ngenxa yomntu, ngokuba ukuyila kwentliziyo yomntu kubi kwasebutsheni bakhe; andisayi kuphinda ndizibhubhise zonke izinto eziphilileyo, njengoko ndenzé ngako. Kuthabathela apha, ngayo yonke imihla yehlabathi, akuyi kuphela ukuhlwayela nokuvuna, ukubanda nobushushu, ihlobo nobusika, imini nobusuku.
IGENESIS 8:1-22 Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024 (CXB24)
uThixo wamkhumbula uNowa, neento zonke eziphilileyo, nezinto zonke ezizitho zine ezazinaye emkhombeni; Yavingcwa imithombo kanogumbe neengcango zezulu, wathintelwa umvumbi wezulu; Ayebuya amanzi emhlabeni, yaye ekupheleni kweentsuku ezilikhulu elinamashumi amahlanu amanzi awutha. Umkhombe wema phezu kweentaba zeArarati ngenyanga yesixhenxe, ngosuku lweshumi elinesixhenxe enyangeni leyo. Amanzi amana ewutha, kwada kwayinyanga yeshumi; ngeyeshumi ke, ngosuku lokuqala enyangeni leyo, zabonakala iincopho zeentaba. Ekupheleni kweentsuku ezimashumi mane wayivula uNowa ifestile yomkhombe abeyenzile. Walithumela ihlungulu, ada atsha amanzi ehlabathini; Wabuya wakhupha ihobe, ukuze abone ukuba amanzi awuthile na phezu komhlaba; Ihobe alifumananga ndawo yakuphumza nentende yethupha lalo, labuyela kuye emkhombeni, ngokuba amanzi abephezu kwehlabathi lonke; wasolula isandla sakhe, wayithabatha, wayirhuqela kuye emkhombeni. Walinda ezinye iintsuku zasixhenxe; waba ngukumkani, walikhupha ihobe emkhombeni; Kweza kuye ihobe ngorhatya; nanko, kukho igqabi lomnquma lisongiwe, lisongiwe; wazi uNowa, ukuba ehlile amanzi ehlabathini. Walinda ezinye iintsuku zasixhenxe; wakhupha ihobe; ababengabuyelanga kuye. Ngonyaka wamakhulu amathandathu ananye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala enyangeni leyo, atsha amanzi ehlabathini; uNowa wasisusa isiciko somkhombe, wakhangela, nango umhlaba womile. Ngenyanga yesibini, ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesixhenxe enyangeni leyo, woma kwaphela umhlaba. Wathetha uThixo kuNowa, esithi: Phuma emkhombeni, wena nomfazi wakho, noonyana bakho, nabafazi boonyana bakho, ndawonye nawe. Zithabathe nawe zonke izinto eziphilileyo ezikuwe, yonke inyama, neentaka, neenkomo, neento zonke ezinyakazelayo emhlabeni; bande emhlabeni, bande, bande ehlabathini. Waphuma ke uNowa, noonyana bakhe, nomkakhe, nabafazi boonyana bakhe. Zonke izinto eziphilileyo, zonke izinambuzane, neentaka zonke, neento zonke ezinambuzelayo emhlabeni, ngohlobo lwazo, zaphuma emkhombeni. uNowa wamakhela uYehova isibingelelo; Wazithabatha zonke izinto ezizitho zine ezihlambulukileyo, neentaka zonke ezihlambulukileyo, wenza amadini anyukayo esibingelelweni. uYehova weva ivumba elithozamisayo; Wathi uYehova entliziyweni yakhe, Andisayi kulitshabhisa ihlabathi ngenxa yomntu; ngokuba ukuyila kwentliziyo yomntu kubi kwasebutsheni bakhe; andiyi kuphinda ndizivelele zonke izinto eziphilileyo njengoko ndenze ngako. Lo gama kusekho umhlaba, akuyi kuphela ukuhlwayela nokuvuna, ukubanda nobushushu nehlobo nobusika nemini nobusuku.
IGENESIS 8:1-22 IBHAYIBHILE (XHO96)
UThixo wayengabalibalanga ooNowa nezilwanyana nezilo ezazisenqanaweni kunye nabo. Wavelisa umoya, aza andula ukuthotha amanzi. Yavalwa imithombo yamanzi engaphantsi komhlaba nesesibhakabhakeni, yapheza imvula. Aya ethotha amanzi kwada kwaziintsuku ezilikhulu linamashumi mahlanu. Ngomhla weshumi elinesixhenxe wenyanga yesixhenxe inqanawa yaya kuma phezu kweentaba zeArarati. Aya ephela amanzi, kwathi ngomhla wokuqala wenyanga yeshumi zathi thu iincopho zeentaba. Emva kwamashumi amane eentsuku uNowa wavula ifestile yenqanawa, wakhupha ihlungulu. Lona lamana ukuphaphazela libheka ngapha nangapha, ada atshona amanzi emhlabeni. UNowa wandulula ihobe ukuya kuhlola ukuba atshile na amanzi. Kodwa alizanga lifumane ndawo yakuhlala ihobe, laza labuyela kuye enqanaweni, kuba umhlaba wawusagqunywe ngamanzi. Wolula isandla uNowa, walibamba, walingenisa enqanaweni. Walinda iintsuku zasixhenxe, waphinda walikhupha ihobe. Labuya ngokuhlwa seliphethe igqabi lomnquma ngomlomo, elalisandul' ukulikha. Waqonda ke uNowa ukuba amanzi athothile. Walinda ezinye iintsuku ezisixhenxe, waza walikhupha kwakhona ihobe. Alizanga liphinde libuye ngesi sihlandlo. Kuthe ke xa uNowa wayemakhulu mathandathu ananye ubudala, ngomhla wokuqala kwinyanga yokuqala, aba seletshonile amanzi emhlabeni. Wawuvula umnyango wenqanawa uNowa, wakhangela ngaphandle macal' onke, wawubona umhlaba womile. Ngomhla wamashumi mabini anesixhenxe, ngenyanga yesibini, laliselome khonkqo ilizwe. UThixo wathi kuNowa: “Phuma enqanaweni kunye nomkakho, noonyana bakho, kunye nabafazi babo. Zikhuphe zonke izidalwa ezisenqanaweni, iintaka neenyamakazi, nezinto ezirhubuluzayo, ukuze ziqhame, zande, zizalise ihlabathi.” Waphuma ke uNowa enqanaweni kunye nomkakhe, noonyana bakhe, kunye nabafazi babo. Zonke izidalwa ezishukumayo, iintaka nezilwanyana nezinto ezirhubuluzayo, zaphuma enqanaweni ngokweendidi zazo. Wenza iqonga lamadini *kaNdikhoyo uNowa. Wathatha isilwanyana ngasinye nentaka nganye, kwezo zodidi olutyiwayo, wazinikela zangumbingelelo phezu kwelo qonga. Lamkeleka ivumba lazo kuNdikhoyo, waza wathi: “Andisobe ndiliqalekise ilizwe ngenxa yezenzo zabantu. Kaloku ndiyazi ukuba umntu uneengcinga ezigwenxa kwaeselula. Andisobe ndizitshabalalise izinto eziphilayo njengoko sendenjenjalo. Kuya kusoloko kukho amaxesha okulima namaxesha okuvuna wonke lo gama lisemiyo ilizwe; kuya kubakho ingqele nobushushu, ihlobo nobusika, ubusuku nemini.”
IGENESIS 8:1-22 Incwadi Yeziba̔lo Ezingcwele 1864, 1902 (Xhosa Appleyard) (XHO1902A)
Waye UTIXO wamkumbula u‐Nowa, nazo zonke izilo, nazo zonke inkomo, ezibe zinaye enqanaweni; wada UTIXO wenza umoya udlule pezu kwomhlaba, aza adamba amanzi. Kwaye kuvingcwa imitombo yenzulu, nezituba zezulu; yabambeka nemvula ivela ezulwini; kanjalo amanzi ahlala ebuya emhlabeni: ada ati, ekupeleni kwemihla ilikulu elinamashumi mahlanu, ancipeka amanzi. Yaza yapumla inqanawa, ngenyanga yesixe̔nxe, ngoweshumi linesixe̔nxe umhla wenyanga, pezu kwentaba zase‐Ararate. Ati amanzi amana ukuncipeka yada yayinyanga yeshumi: ngeyeshumi inyanga, ngowokuqala umhla wenyanga, zabonakala intloko zentaba. Kwaye kute, emveni kwemihla imashumi mane, wavula u‐Nowa ifenstile yenqanawa abeyenzile; wakupa unomyai, owapuma yena wahlala ebuyabuya, ada atsha amanzi pezu kwomhlaba. Wati kanjalo wakupa ihobe lisuke kuye, kuze kubonwe ukuba amanzi apungulekile na ebusweni bomhlaba: kanti ihobe belingenakufumanela umzantsi wenqina lalo ukupumla; laza labuyela kuye enqanaweni; ngokuba amanzi ebesebusweni bawo wonke umhlaba: wandula ukwolula isandla sake, walitabata, walingenisa kuye enqanaweni. Waye esalinda eminye imihla yasixe̔nxe; waza wapinda ukulikupa ihobe enqanaweni. Labuya ihobe leza kuye ngexesha lokuhlwa; kekaloku, nali emlonyeni walo igqabi lomnquma likiwe: wandula ukwazi u‐Nowa ukuba amanzi seepungulekile emhlabeni. Waye esalinda eminye imihla yasixe̔nxe; waza walikupa ihobe, elati lona alapinda ukubuyela kuye kanjako. KWAYE kute, ngomnyaka wamakulu matandatu anamnye, ngeyokuqala inyanga, kwa ngowokuqala umhla walonyanga, amanzi abomisiwe emhlabeni: waza u‐Nowa wasusa isigubungelo senqanawa, wakangela; kekaloku bona ke, umhlaba wawomile ubuso bawo. Nangenyanga yesibini, ngowamashumi mabini anesixe̔nxe umhla wenyanga, wause utshile umhlaba. Waza wateta UTIXO ku‐Nowa, esiti: Puma enqanaweni, wena, nomfazi wako, nonyana bako, nabafazi bonyana bako kunye nawe. Zonke izilo ezikuwe, ezenyama yonke, intaka, nenkomo, nazo zonke izinambuzane ezinambuzelayo pezu kwomhlaba, zipumise kunye nawe; ukuze zikolise ukuzala emhlabeni, zicume, zande nokwanda pezu kwomhlaba. Waza wapuma u‐Nowa, nonyana bake, nomfazi wake, nabafazi bonyana bake kunye naye. Zonke izilo, zonke izinambuzane, nazo zonke intaka, zonke izinto ezishukumayo pezu kwomhlaba, ngentlobo zazo, zapuma enqanaweni. Wandula waka u‐Nowa isibingelo KUYEHOVA: wayetabata kuzo zonke inkomo ezicocekileyo, nakuzo zonke intaka ezicocekileyo, wanikela amadini okutshiswa pezu kwesibingelo eso. Waye UYEHOVA wasezela ivumba elimnandi: wandul’ ukuti UYEHOVA entliziyweni yake: Andiyi kupinda ukuwuqalekisa kanjako umhlaba ngenxa yabantu, nangona ukucinga kwentliziyo yomntu kukohlakele kwa sebutsheni bake; ndandingayi kupinda ndibuye ndikubete konke okupilileyo, njengokuba ndenje njalo. Kwa yonke imihla useko ngayo umhlaba, akusayi kupela ixesha lokuhlwayela nelokuvuna, nengqele nobushushu, nehlobo nobusika, nemini nobusuku.
