UGenesise 7
1Wayesethi uJehova kuNowa: “Ngena emkhunjini wena nendlu yakho yonke; ngoba ngikubonile ulungile phambi kobuso bami kulesisizukulwana.
2Kuzo zonke izilwane ezihlanzekile kumelwe uzithathele eziyisikhombisa, iduna nensikazi yalo; Ezinyameni ezihlambulukileyo, ngambili ngambili, iduna nensikazi yalo.
3Ezinyonini zezulu ngasikhombisa, iduna nensikazi; ukugcina imbewu iphila emhlabeni wonke.
4Bese nginisa imvula emhlabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane; futhi zonke izinto eziphilayo engizenzile ngizozibhubhisa emhlabeni.
5UNowa wenza njengalokho uJehova emyalile.
6UNowa wayeneminyaka engamakhulu ayisithupha mhla uzamcolo uphezu komhlaba.
7UNowa wangena emkhunjini, namadodana akhe, nomkakhe, nabafazi bamadodana akhe kanye naye, emkhunjini ngenxa yamanzi kazamcolo.
8Ezinyameni ezihlambulukileyo, nasezinyameni ezingcolileyo, nakuzinyoni, nakuzo zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni,
9Zangena ngazimbili kuNowa emkhunjini, iduna nensikazi, njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile uNowa.
10Emva kwezinsuku eziyisikhombisa amanzi kazamcolo afika emhlabeni.
11Ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha wokuphila kukaNowa, ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lweshumi nesikhombisa lwenyanga, ngalona lolo suku yonke imithombo kazamcolo omkhulu yagqashuka, namafasitele asezulwini avuleka.
12Lana emhlabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane.
13Ngalolo suku uNowa, uShemi, noHamu, noJafete, amadodana kaNowa, nomkaNowa, nabafazi abathathu bamadodana akhe kanye nabo, bangena emkhunjini;
14Bona nazo zonke izilwane ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinkomo zonke ngezinhlobo zazo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinyoni zonke ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinyoni zonke ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinyoni zonke ngezinhlobo zazo.
15Zangena kanye noNowa emkhunjini, ngambili enyameni yonke okukuyo umoya wokuphila.
16Ezingenayo, kwangena iduna nensikazi kuyo yonke inyama, njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile; uJehova wamfaka.
17Kwaba nguzamcolo emhlabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane; amanzi anda, awudonsa umkhumbi, wawuphakamisela emhlabeni.
18Amanzi aba namandla, anda kakhulu emhlabeni; umkhumbi wedlula phezu kwamanzi.
19Amanzi ayenamandla phezu komhlaba; zasitshekelwa zonke izintaba eziphakemeyo eziphansi kwezulu lonke.
20Amanzi aba yizingalo eziyishumi nanhlanu phezulu; zasitshekelwa izintaba.
21Yafa yonke inyama enwabuzelayo emhlabeni, izinyoni, nezinkomo, nezilwane, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, nabantu bonke;
22Konke okunomoya wokuphila emakhaleni akho, kukho konke okusemhlabathini owomileyo, kwafa.
23Zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezazisemhlabeni zabhujiswa, abantu, nezinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu; futhi zabhujiswa emhlabeni, kwasala uNowa kuphela nalabo ababenaye emkhunjini.
24Amanzi aba namandla phezu komhlaba izinsuku eziyikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu.
