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