7 Ngemva kwalokho uJehova wathi kuNowa: “Ngena emkhunjini wena kanye lemuli yakho, ngoba phakathi kwesizukulwane lesi nguwe engikuthole ulungile phambi kwami.+

14 “‘Lanxa amadoda la amathathu, uNowa+ loDanyeli+ loJobe+ abengabe eselizweni lelo, abezasindisa impilo zawo kuphela ngenxa yokulunga kwawo,’+ kutsho iNkosi Enkulu uJehova.”

37 Njengoba nje zazinjalo insuku zikaNowa,+ kuzakuba njalo ukuba khona* kweNdodana yomuntu.+

7 Ngokholo uNowa+ wathi esethole isixwayiso esivela kuNkulunkulu ngezinto ayengakaziboni,+ watshengisa ukuthi uyamesaba uNkulunkulu, wakha umkhumbi+ ukuze asindise abomuzi wakhe. Ngokholo lolu wawahlulela umhlaba,+ waba yindlalifa yokulunga okuba khona ngokukholwa.

20 leyo eyayingazange imlalele uNkulunkulu ngesikhathi elindile futhi ebekezela* ngosuku lukaNowa+ kusakhiwa umkhumbi,+ lapho abantu abalutshwana, okutsho imiphefumulo engu-8,* abasinda khona bavikelwa emanzini.+

5 Kazange ayekele lokujezisa umhlaba wasendulo+ kodwa ngesikhathi eletha uZamcolo emhlabeni owawulabantu abangamesabiyo+ wavikela uNowa umtshumayeli wokulunga+ labanye abayisikhombisa.+
