1 W axayna noqotay, markii ay bilaabatay in dadku ku bataan dhulka oo ay gabdho u dhashaan,

When men began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,

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

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

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

Then 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.

4 W aagaas 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.

There 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.

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

The 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.

6 R abbiguna wuxuu ka qoomamooday abuuriddii uu dadka ku abuuray dhulka, wuuna caloolxumaaday.

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

7 O o 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.

So 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.

8 L aakiin Rabbigu Nuux raalli buu ka ahaa.

But Noah found grace (favor) in the eyes of the Lord.

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

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

10 O o Nuux wuxuu dhalay saddex wiil oo ahaa Sheem, iyo Xaam iyo Yaafed.

And Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 D hulkuna wuu kharribnaa Ilaah hortiisa, dhulkana dulmi baa ka buuxsamay.

The earth was depraved and putrid in God’s sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power).

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

And 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.

13 O o 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.

God 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.

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

Make 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).

15 W aa 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.

And 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.

16 W aa 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.

You 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.

17 O o 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.

For 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.

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

But 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.

19 O o 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.

And 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.

20 H aadda 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.

Of 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.

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

Also 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.

22 S idaasuu Nuux sameeyey; wax kasta sidii Ilaah ugu amray buu u sameeyey.

Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
