1 N a ka mea a Ihowa ki a Noa, haere mai koutou ko tou whare katoa ki roto ki te aaka; kua kite hoki ahau i a koe he tika ki toku aroaro i tenei whakatupuranga.

Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time.

2 T angohia e koe etahi o nga kirehe pokekore, kia takiwhitu, te toa me tana uha: o nga kararehe poke hoki, kia takirua, te toa me tana uha:

You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female;

3 M e nga manu ano hoki o te rangi, kia takiwhitu, te toa me te uha; kia ora ai he uri ki runga ki te mata o te whenua katoa.

also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.

4 K ia whitu ake hoki nga ra ka meatia e ahau kia ua te ua ki runga ki te whenua, kia wha tekau nga ra, kia wha tekau nga po; a ka whakangaromia atu e ahau i runga i te mata o te whenua nga mea ora katoa i hanga e ahau.

For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.”

5 A rite tonu ta Noa i mea ai ki a Ihowa katoa i whakahau ai ki a ia.

Noah did according to all that the Lord had commanded him.

6 N a e ono rau nga tau o Noa i te putanga mai o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua.

Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.

7 N a ka tomo a Noa ratou tahi ko ana tama, ko tana wahine, ko nga wahine hoki a ana tama, ki roto ki te aaka, i te wehi i nga wai o te waipuke.

Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.

8 M e etahi o nga kirehe pokekore, o nga kirehe poke hoki, o nga manu, o nga mea katoa ano hoki e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua;

Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground,

9 I haere tatakirua ratou ki roto ki te aaka ki a Noa, te toa me te uha, i pera tonu me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a Noa.

there went into the ark to Noah by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 N a i muri iho i nga ra e whitu ka puta mai nga wai o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua.

It came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth.

11 N o te ono rau o nga tau o te oranga o Noa, no te rua o nga marama, no te tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, no taua rangi ano i pakaru mai ai nga matapuna katoa o te rire nui, a ka whakatuwheratia nga matapihi o te rangi.

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.

12 A e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po, i ua ai te ua ki runga ki te whenua.

The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13 N o taua rangi pu ano i tomo ai a Noa, ratou ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta, nga tama a Noa, ratou tahi ko te wahine a Noa, ko nga wahine tokotoru ano hoki a ana tama, ki roto ki te aaka;

On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,

14 R atou ko nga kirehe mohoao katoa o ia ahua, o ia ahua, ko nga kararehe katoa o ia ahua, o ia ahua, ko nga mea ngoki katoa e ngokingoki nei i runga i te whenua, o ia ahua, o ia ahua, me nga manu katoa, o ia ahua, o ia ahua, me nga mea whai parira u katoa, o ia ahua, o ia ahua.

they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds.

15 N a ka haere ki roto ki te aaka ki a Noa, tatakirua o nga kikokiko katoa, o nga mea whai wairua ora.

So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life.

16 K o nga mea i haere, i haere he toa he uha o nga kikokiko katoa, he pera tonu me ta te Atua i whakahau ai ki a ai: a tutakina ana ia e Ihowa ki roto.

Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed it behind him.

17 A e wha tekau nga ra o te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua; a ka nui haere nga wai, ka whakamanutia ake te aaka, a ka maiangi ake ki runga i te whenua.

Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.

18 N a ka kaha nga wai, a ka tino nui haere ki runga ki te whenua; a ka tere te aaka i runga i te kare o nga wai.

The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

19 N a kua tino kaha rawa nga wai ki runga ki te whenua; a ka taupokina nga maunga teitei katoa i raro i te rangi, a puta noa.

The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered.

20 K otahi tekau ma rima nga whatianga i pari ake ai nga wai; a taupokina ana nga maunga.

The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

21 N a ka mate nga kikokiko katoa i korikori i runga i te whenua; te manu, te kararehe, te kirehe, nga mea ngoki katoa hoki i ngokingoki i runga i te whenua, me nga tangata katoa:

All flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind;

22 K o nga mea katoa kei roto nei i o ratou pongaihu te manawa ora, o nga mea katoa i te tuawhenua, i mate.

of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

23 A ngaro iho nga mea ora katoa i runga i te mata o te whenua, te tangata, te kararehe, nga mea ngokingoki, me te manu o te rangi; i whakangaromia atu ratou i runga i te whenua: a toe ake ko te kotahi o Noa, me nga mea i a ia, i roto i te aaka.

Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.

24 A kotahi rau e rima tekau nga ra i huri ai nga wai ki runga ki te whenua.

The water prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
