And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him.

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.

17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

(A)Awo Mukama n’agamba Nuuwa nti, “Yingira mu lyato, ggwe n’abantu bo bonna, kubanga nkulabye ng’oli mutuukirivu mu mulembe guno. (B)Twala ku buli nsolo ennongoofu musanvu musanvu ensajja n’enkazi, era ne ku binyonyi eby’omu bbanga musanvu musanvu ekisajja n’ekikazi, okukuuma olulyo lwabyo ku nsi. Bwe waliyitawo ennaku musanvu nditonnyesa enkuba ku nsi emisana n’ekiro okumalira ddala ennaku amakumi ana, era ndizikiriza buli kintu ekiramu kye natonda ku nsi.”

(C)Bw’atyo Nuuwa n’akola buli kintu nga Mukama bwe yakimulagira.

Nuuwa yali aweza emyaka lukaaga amataba bwe gajja ku nsi. Nuuwa n’ayingira mu lyato n’abaana be ne mukazi we n’abakazi b’abaana be bawone amataba. Era ensolo ennongoofu, n’ensolo ezitali nnongoofu n’ebibuuka mu bbanga na buli ekyewalula, ne biyingira bibiri bibiri ekisajja n’ekikazi eri Nuuwa mu lyato, nga Katonda bwe yamulagira. 10 Awo olwatuuka oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ziri omusanvu, amataba ne gatandika ku nsi.

11 (D)Mu mwaka ogw’olukaaga ogw’obulamu bwa Nuuwa, mu mwezi ogwokubiri, ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’omusanvu olw’omwezi, ku lunaku olwo ensulo zonna ez’omu nnyanja ennene, ne ziggulwa lumu n’ebituli byonna eby’eggulu. 12 (E)Enkuba n’etonnya ku nsi okumala ennaku amakumi ana, emisana n’ekiro. 13 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini Nuuwa ne mukazi ne batabani be, Seemu, ne Kaamu ne Yafeesi, ne bakazi baabwe bonsatule, ne bayingira mu lyato. 14 Buli nsolo mu ngeri yaayo na buli nte, na buli ekyewalula, era na buli kinyonyi mu ngeri yaakyo na buli nkula ya kinyonyi, nabyo ne biyingira mu lyato. 15 (F)Ne biyingira mu lyato lya Nuuwa bibiri bibiri byonna ebyalimu omukka ogw’obulamu. 16 Byonna ne biyingira mu lyato, ekisajja n’ekikazi; byayingira nga Katonda bwe yalagira Nuuwa, Mukama n’aggalawo eryato.

17 (G)Amataba ne gabuna ensi okumala ennaku amakumi ana. Amazzi ne geeyongeranga, n’eryato nalyo ne lyeyongeranga okutumbiira ku nsi. 18 Amazzi ne gatumbiira ne geeyongera okwala ku nsi, n’eryato ne liseeyeeya kungulu ku mazzi. 19 (H)Amazzi ne gatumbiira nnyo nnyini ku nsi, n’ensozi zonna empanvu wansi w’eggulu lyonna amazzi ne gazibikka. 20 Amazzi ne gatumbiira ne gabikka ensozi ne zibulira wansi mu mazzi mita nga musanvu. 21 (I)Buli kiramu ekyali ku nsi ne kifa: ebinyonyi n’ensolo ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko, n’ebitonde byonna ebyali ku nsi n’abantu bonna. 22 (J)Buli kintu kyonna ekyali ku lukalu ekissa omukka ne kifa. 23 (K)Buli kiramu kyonna ekyali ku nsi ne kimalibwawo: abantu, n’ensolo, na buli kitonde ekitambula ku nsi, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga ne bimalibwawo ku nsi. Nuuwa yekka n’abo be yali nabo mu lyato be baasigalawo.

24 (L)Amataba gaamala ku nsi ennaku kikumi mu ataano.
