UGenesise 6
Amadodana kaNkulunkulu, noShemi, noHamu, noJafete.
1Kwathi lapho abantu beqala ukwanda emhlabeni, bezalelwa amadodakazi,
2Amadodana kaNkulunkulu abona amadodakazi abantu ukuthi mahle; bazithathela abafazi kubo bonke ababakhethayo.
3INkosi yathi: UMoya wami awuyikubusa njalo kumuntu, ngoba futhi uyinyama; kepha izinsuku zakhe ziyakuba yiminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amabili.
4Kwakukhona iziqhwaga emhlabeni ngalezo zinsuku; nangemva kwalokho, lapho amadodana kaNkulunkulu engena kuwo amadodakazi abantu, awazalela abantwana, aba ngamaqhawe asendulo, amadoda anegama.
5UNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi ububi bomuntu bukhulu emhlabeni nokuthi zonke izizindlo zemicabango yenhliziyo yakhe zimbi njalo.
6INkosi yazisola ukuthi yenze umuntu emhlabeni, futhi yadabuka enhliziyweni yakhe.
7Futhi iNkosi yathi: Umuntu engimdalile ngizomchitha emhlabeni; womuntu kanye nesilwane. Izilwane ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu; ngokuba ngiyazisola ukuthi ngabenza.
8Kodwa uNowa wathola umusa emehlweni eNkosi.
9Lezi ziyizizukulwane zikaNowa: UNowa wayeyindoda elungile, engenasici esizukulwaneni sakhe; uNowa wahamba noNkulunkulu.
10UNowa wazala amadodana amathathu: uShemi, noHamu, noJafete.
11Umhlaba wawonakele phambi kukaNkulunkulu, futhi umhlaba wawugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu.
12UNkulunkulu wawubheka umhlaba, bheka, wawonakele; ngoba yonke inyama iyonakalisile indlela yayo emhlabeni.
13UNkulunkulu wathi kuNowa: “Ukuphela kwayo yonke inyama kufikile phambi kobuso bami; ngokuba umhlaba ugcwele ubudlwangudlwangu ngenxa yabo; futhi bheka, ngizobabhubhisa kanye nomhlaba.
14Zenzele umkhumbi ngokhuni lwegofere; Uyakwenza amakamelo emkhunjini, uwugcobe ngaphakathi nangaphandle ngekolitayi.
15Nansi indlela okumelwe uwenze ngayo: Ubude bomkhumbi kumelwe bube yizingalo ezingamakhulu amathathu, ububanzi bawo bube yizingalo ezingamashumi amahlanu nokuphakama kwawo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu.
16Wenzela umphongolo ifasitela, uliqedele ngengalo eyodwa phezulu; ubeke iminyango yomphongolo eceleni; ngephansi, isitezi sesibili nesesithathu kufanele ukwenze.
17Bheka, ngiletha uzamcolo wamanzi emhlabeni ukuba achithe yonke inyama okukuyo umoya wokuphila phansi kwezulu; nakho konke okusemhlabeni kuyakufa.
18Kodwa ngizamisa isivumelwano sami lawe; uyakungena emkhunjini, wena namadodana akho nomkakho nabafazi bamadodana akho kanye nawe.
19Kuzo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo kuyo yonke inyama, kumelwe ungenise ezimbili zohlobo ngalunye emkhunjini ukuze uzigcine ziphila kanye nawe; bayoba indoda nomfazi.
20Kuzo izinyoni ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinkomo ngezinhlobo zazo, nakuzo zonke izilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni ngezinhlobo zazo, kuyakuza kuwe okubili kohlobo ngalunye ukuzigcina ziphila.
21Zithathele kukho konke ukudla okudliwayo, uzibuthele kona; kuyakuba ngukudla kwakho nokwazo.
22Wenza ke uNowa; njengakho konke uNkulunkulu amyale ngakho, wenze njalo.
