7 Munima yebi, Yehova walekele Nowa ngwendi: “Kobela mu bwato na bakunjibo yobe boshe mwafwa yobe injinawana kupwa wa kusungama ku mesho ange hakati keci cisemwa.
2 Ku miyati ya tusitu boshe ba kujela ambatako oku 7 oku 7,* ba nkomba na ba lwabo. Co ku miyati yoshe ya tusitu ba kujwala ambatako lika babali-babali, wa nkomba na wa lwabo.
3 Co ku byakutanga bije bipulula mwilu, ambatako oku 7 oku 7,* bindemba na byali mangana bitwaleleleho kuyoya ha lifuti-libu hoshe.
4 Mwafwa munima ya matangwa 7 lika, njikanyokesa nyonzi ha lifuti-libu ha matangwa 40, butsiki na mutanya. Co njikanyongesa byuma byoshe bya kuyoya binjatangele bije bili hasi.”
5 Co Nowa walingile byoshe byamushikile Yehova.
6 Nowa wakele na myaka 600 libazi mulyezile ha lifuti-libu.
7 Ngeci Nowa hamolika na bana bendi ba banalume na munakazi wendi na banakazi ba bana bendi, bakobelele mu bwato simbu kanda libazi lije.
8 Ku tusitu boshe ba kujela, na ku tusitu boshe ba kujwala, na ku byakutanga bije bipulula, na ku byuma byoshe bije byenda hasi,
9 byaile bibali-bibali kuli Nowa, bya nkomba na bya lwabo mu bwato ngwe muje wamushikilile Njambi.
10 Co munima ya matangwa 7, libazi lyezile ha lifuti-libu.
11 Mu mwaka wa bu 600 wa kuyoya kwa Nowa mu ngonde yamucibali, ha litangwa lya bu 17 omu mu ngonde, ha litangwa lije tubwelu-bwelu twa mema twa kuloba twatubikile, co bikolo bya libazi bya mwilu byashokolokele.
12 Co nyonzi yanyokele ha lifuti-libu matangwa 40, butsiki na mutanya.
13 Co ha litangwa lije bene, Nowa wakobelele mu bwato hamolika na bana bendi ba banalume, Shemu, Hamu, na Jafeti, na munakazi wendi na banakazi ba bana bendi batatu.
14 Bakobelele na tusitu boshe ba mu shwata kwesekesa na miyati yabo, na bimuna boshe kwesekesa na miyati yabo, na tusitu boshe ba kulikoka hasi kwesekesa na miyati yabo, na byakutanga byoshe bije bipulula kwesekesa na miyati yabyo, na tuzila boshe, na byakutanga byoshe bije byakala na mambaba.
15 Miyati ya byuma byoshe bije byakele na muku wa kuyoya* byatwaleleleleho kuya kuli Nowa, byaile bibali-bibali.
16 Ngeci byoshe byakobelele, bya nkomba na bya lwabo, ngecilika mwashikile Njambi. Munima yebi, Yehova washokele cikolo.
17 Nyonzi yatwaleleleleho kunyoka ha matangwa 40 ha lifuti-libu, co mema atwaleleleleho kulibwezelela na kujundula bwato, co bwato bwafumukile helu lya mema, hakamwa ya lifuti-libu.
18 Mema atumine, co atwaleleleleho kulibwezelela manene ha lifuti-libu, oloni bwato bwafumukile helu lya mema.
19 Mema atumine manene ha lifuti-libu, co na minkinda yailaha yoshe ije yakala mwisi ya melu yakupukile.
20 Mema alibwezelelele, co atubakanene minkinda na makyubiti* 15.
21 Ngeci byakutanga byoshe bya kuyoya bije byakele na kwenda ha lifuti-libu byanyongele, na byakutanga bya kupulula byoshe, na bimuna, na tusitu ba mu shwata, na byakutanga bije bikende mu bibunga, na banu boshe.
22 Byoshe bije byakele ha lifuti-libu, bije byakele na muku wa kuyoya mu majulu abyo byatsile.
23 Ngeci wanyongesele byakuyoya byoshe ha lifuti-libu kwambateselela na banu, tusitu, tusitu ba kukalaba na bya kutanga bije bipulula mwilu. Byoshe babinyongesele ha lifuti-libu, kubanga Nowa lika na baje bakele nendi mu bwato bakebo bobokele.
24 Co lifuti-libu lyatwaleleleleho kujalela ha matangwa 150.
