7 Mukubhita o ima yiyi, Jihova wambela Nowé wixi: “Bokona mu álaka, éye ni oso atokala ku bhata dyé. Mukonda éye ngo nga kumono kuyuka bhu pholo yami mwaxaxi ka mundu yú. 2 Ku yama yoso yazele wambata-ku sambwadi* dya ndumbe ni sambwadi dya akaji, ikale kumoxi n’eye. O yakambe o kuzela wambata-ku ngo kiyadi, ndumbe ni mukaji. 3 Ku jinjila joso jibhita bhulu wambata-ku we sambwadi dya ndumbe ni sambwadi* dya akaji, phala kusokolola o mbutu yâ mu ixi yoso. 4 Mukonda kwakambe ngo sambwadi dya izuwa, nganda bheka mvula mu ngongo, yanda noka mu makwinyi awana a izuwa ni makwinyi awana a usuku. Nganda bwika o yama yoso ingabhange yala ni mwenyu mu ixi.” 5 Nowé anga ubhanga yoso ya mutumine Jihova.
6 Nowé wexile ni hama jisamanu ja mivu kyoso kyamateka o dilúvyu dya menya mu ngongo. 7 Kyenyiki, ande dya kumateka o dilúvyu Nowé wabokona mu álaka kumoxi ni an’ê, ni muhat’wê ni ahatu a an’ê. 8 O yama yoso yazele, o yama yoso yakambe o kuzela, ni yama ni ibamba yala ni mabhabha ni yama yoso yendela bhoxi, 9 yayi kiyadi-kiyadi musanga Nowé mu álaka, ndumbe ni mukaji kala kyatumine Nzambi kwa Nowé. 10 Mukubhita sambwadi dya izuwa, o diluvyu dya menya dyeza mu ngongo.
11 Kyoso Nowé kyatenesa hama jisamanu ja mivu, mu mbeji ya kayadi mu kizuwa kya dikwinyi ni sambwadi kya mbeji yenyiyi, mu kizuwa kyenyokyo, o matuta oso a menya azongo abaze, o mabhitu a dyulu anga ajikuka. 12 Mvula anga inoka mu ngongo mu makwinyi awana a izuwa ni makwinyi awana a usuku. 13 Mu kizuwa kyenyokyo, kyene kya bokona Nowé mu álaka, kumoxi ni an’ê Seme, Hame ni Jafete, muhat’wê ni ahatu atatu a an’ê. 14 Ene abokona ni yama yoso ya yangu, mu idifwa-idifwa ni ibhaku yoso mu idifwa-idifwa, ni yama yoso ya ixi ihuhutila bhoxi, mu idifwa-idifwa, ni ibamba yoso yala ni mabhabha mu idifwa-idifwa, ni jinjila joso ni yama yoso yala ni mabhabha. 15 Yama yoso ya mwenyu yasuluka ni kuya kwa Nowé mu álaka kiyadi-kiyadi. 16 Kyenyiki, yene yabokona mu álaka, ndumbe ni mukaji ku yama* yoso, kala kya tendelesele Nzambi kwa Nowé. Mukusuluka, Jihova wajika o dibhitu.
17 O dilúvyu anga dikala mu ngongo mu makwinyi awana a izuwa, o menya asuluka ni kudibandekesa, amateka kwambata o álaka, o álaka anga ikala ku thandu a menya. 18 O menya anga aya ni kudibandekesa kyavulu mu ngongo, maji o álaka exile muyambata ku menya. 19 O menya adibandekesa kyavulu kate kyabobesa o milundu yoso mu ngongo. 20 Menya anga adibandekesa dingi dikwinyi ni kitanu kya kovadu* ku thandu a milundu.
21 Kyenyiki, o yama* yoso yala ni mwenyu mu ixi, o yama ni ibamba yala ni mabhabha, o ibhaku, o yama ya yangu, ni twibamba twofele ni athu oso, afu. 22 Yoso yakexile ni mwenyu ku mavu akukuta, yafu. 23 Kyenyiki, Nzambi* wabwika yoso yakexile ni mwenyu mu ixi, o athu, o yama, o yama ihuhutila bhoxi ni yama ni ibamba yala ni mabhabha ibhita bhulu. Yene yoso a ijimi o mbutu mu ngongo. Nowé ngo ni yó akexile-nê mu álaka abhuluka. 24 Menya anga a nangenena mu ngongo mu hama ni makwinyi atanu a izuwa.
