1 W hen men began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,

Waxayna noqotay, markii ay bilaabatay in dadku ku bataan dhulka oo ay gabdho u dhashaan,

2 T he sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of all they desired and chose.

in wiilashii Ilaah arkeen gabdhihii dadku inay wanaagsan yihiin, oo ay guursadeen in alla intay doorteen oo dhan.

3 T hen the Lord said, My Spirit shall not forever dwell and strive with man, for he also is flesh; but his days shall yet be 120 years.

Rabbiguna wuxuu yidhi, Ruuxaygu lama sii dagaallami doono dadka weligiis, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa jidh, laakiinse cimrigiisu wuxuu noqon doonaa boqol iyo labaatan sannadood.

4 T here were giants on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Waagaas waxaa dhulka joogay dad waaweyn oo xoog badan, taas ka dibna kolkii wiilashii Ilaah u yimaadeen gabdhihii dadka, oo ay carruur u dhaleen, isla kuwaas waxay ahaayeen nimankii xoogga badnaa oo waagii hore ahaa raggii caanka ahaa.

5 T he Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was only evil continually.

Rabbiguna wuxuu arkay in dadka sharkiisu ku badan yahay dhulka, iyo in male kasta oo fikirrada qalbigiisu ay shar keliya yihiin had iyo goorba.

6 A nd the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved at heart.

Rabbiguna wuxuu ka qoomamooday abuuriddii uu dadka ku abuuray dhulka, wuuna caloolxumaaday.

7 S o the Lord said, I will destroy, blot out, and wipe away mankind, whom I have created from the face of the ground—not only man, the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air—for it grieves Me and makes Me regretful that I have made them.

Oo Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan dhulka ka baabbi'in doonaa dadkii aan abuuray; dadka, iyo weliba dugaagga, iyo waxa gurguurta, iyo haadda hawada; maxaa yeelay, waan ka qoomamooday samayntii aan sameeyey iyaga.

8 B ut Noah found grace (favor) in the eyes of the Lord.

Laakiin Rabbigu Nuux raalli buu ka ahaa.

9 T his is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a just and righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

Kuwanu waa farcankii Nuux. Nuux wuxuu ahaa nin xaq ah, oo ku eed la' farcankiisii; Nuuxna Ilaah buu la socon jiray.

10 A nd Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Oo Nuux wuxuu dhalay saddex wiil oo ahaa Sheem, iyo Xaam iyo Yaafed.

11 T he earth was depraved and putrid in God’s sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power).

Dhulkuna wuu kharribnaa Ilaah hortiisa, dhulkana dulmi baa ka buuxsamay.

12 A nd God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction.

Ilaahna wuxuu arkay dhulka, oo bal eeg, wuu kharribnaa; waayo, intii jidh lahayd oo dhammu jidkooday ku kharribeen dhulka.

13 G od said to Noah, I intend to make an end of all flesh, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold, I will destroy them and the land.

Oo Ilaah wuxuu Nuux ku yidhi, Intii jidh leh oo dhan dhammaadkoodii aan dhammayn lahaa ayaa gaadhay; waayo, dhulkii waxaa ka buuxsamay dulmi iyaga ka yimid, oo bal eeg, iyagaan dhulka la baabbi'in doonaa.

14 M ake yourself an ark of gopher or cypress wood; make in it rooms (stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages, and compartments) and cover it inside and out with pitch (bitumen).

Doonni ka samayso qoryo gofer ah; qowladana ka dhex samee doonnida, daamurna ka mari dusha iyo hoostaba.

15 A nd this is the way you are to make it: the length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits.

Waa inaad sidatan u samaysid iyada: doonnida dhererkeeda waxaad ka dhigtaa saddex boqol oo dhudhun, ballaadhkeedana waxaad ka dhigtaa konton dhudhun, sarajooggeedana waxaad ka dhigtaa soddon dhudhun.

16 Y ou shall make a roof or window for the ark and finish it to a cubit above—and the door of the ark you shall put in the side of it; and you shall make it with lower, second, and third stories.

Waa inaad dariishadna u samaysid doonnida, oo waxaad ku dhammaysaa in dhudhun ah ilaa xaggeeda sare, albaabka doonnidana dhinaca ka samee, dabaqad hoose, iyo tu labaad, iyo tu saddexaadna u samee iyada.

17 F or behold, I, even I, will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy and make putrid all flesh under the heavens in which are the breath and spirit of life; everything that is on the land shall die.

Oo bal eeg, anigu daad biyo ah baan ku soo dayn dhulka, inaan baabbi'iyo inta jidhka leh oo dhan oo neefta noloshu ku jirto, inta samada ka hoosaysa; wax kasta oo dhulka joogaaba way dhiman doonaan.

18 B ut I will establish My covenant (promise, pledge) with you, and you shall come into the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

Laakiin axdigayga adigaan kula dhigan doonaa; oo doonnidaad soo geli doontaan, adiga, iyo wiilashaada, iyo naagtaada, iyo naagaha wiilashaada ee kula jiraba.

19 A nd of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

Oo wax kasta oo nool oo jidh leh waa inaad cayn walba laba ka soo gelisaa doonnida, si ay kuula sii noolaadaan; waana inay ahaadaan lab iyo dhaddig.

20 O f fowls and birds according to their kinds, of beasts according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind—two of every sort shall come in with you, that they may be kept alive.

Haadda caynkooda, iyo xoolaha caynkooda, iyo wax kasta oo dhulka gurguurta caynkooda, cayn walba laba ka mid ihi ha kuu soo galeen, si ay u sii noolaadaan.

21 A lso take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and you shall collect and store it up, and it shall serve as food for you and for them.

Cuntada la cuno oo dhanna qaado, oo kulligeed ururso oo waxay idiin noqon doontaa cunto, adiga iyo iyagaba.

22 N oah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

Sidaasuu Nuux sameeyey; wax kasta sidii Ilaah ugu amray buu u sameeyey.
