M’menemu timvamo za Adamu ndi Heva, Kaini ndi Abele, Nowa ndi nkhani ya chigumula komanso nsanja ya ku Babele (mutu 1—11). Gawo lachiwiri ndilo mbiri ya makolo oyamba a Aisraele.

Kulengedwa kwa kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi

2 Dziko lapansi ndipo linali lopasuka ndi losoweka; ndipo mdima unali pamwamba panyanja; ndipo mzimu wa Mulungu unalinkufungatira pamwamba pamadzi.

10 Ndipo Mulungu adautcha mtundawo Dziko lapansi; kusonkhana kwa madziko ndipo adatcha Nyanja: ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kunali kwabwino.

15 Zikhale zounikira m’thambo la kumwamba, kuti ziunikire padziko lapansi; ndipo kunatero.

16 Ndipo Mulungu anapanga zounikira zazikulu ziwiri; chounikira chachikulu chakulamulira usana, chounikira chaching’ono chakulamulira usiku, ndi nyenyezi zomwe.

17 Mulungu ndipo adaika zimenezo m’thambo la kumwamba, kuti ziunikire padziko lapansi,

18 zilamulire usana ndi usiku, zilekanitse kuyera ndi mdima: ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kunali kwabwino.

19 Ndipo panali madzulo ndipo panali m’mawa, tsiku lachinai.

20 Ndipo anati Mulungu, Madzi abale zochuluka zamoyo zoyendayenda, ndi mbalame ziuluke pamwamba padziko lapansi ndi pamlengalenga.

22 Mulungu ndipo anadalitsa zimenezo, nati, Zibalane, zichuluke, zidzaze madzi a m’nyanja, ndi mbalame zichuluke padziko lapansi.

23 Ndipo panali madzulo ndipo panali m’mawa, tsiku lachisanu.

24 Ndipo adati Mulungu, Dziko lapansi libale zamoyo monga mwa mitundu yao, ng’ombe, ndi zokwawa, ndi zinyama za dziko lapansi monga mwa mitundu yao: ndipo kunatero.

25 Ndipo Mulungu anapanga zinyama za dziko lapansi monga mwa mitundu yao; ndi ng’ombe monga mwa mtundu wake, ndi zonse zokwawa pansi monga mwa mitundu yao; ndipo Mulungu anaona kuti kunali kwabwino.

Kulengedwa kwa munthu

26 Ndipo anati Mulungu, Tipange munthu m’chifanizo chathu, monga mwa chikhalidwe chathu: alamulire pansomba za m’nyanja, ndi pambalame za m’mlengalenga, ndi pang’ombe, ndi padziko lonse lapansi, ndi pazokwawa zonse zakukwawa padziko lapansi.

27 Mulungu ndipo adalenga munthu m’chifanizo chake, m’chifanizo cha Mulungu adamlenga iye; adalenga iwo mwamuna ndi mkazi.

28 Mulungu ndipo anadalitsa iwo, ndipo adati kwa iwo, Mubalane, muchuluke, mudzaze dziko lapansi, muligonjetse: mulamulire pansomba za m’nyanja, ndi pambalame za m’mlengalenga, ndi pazamoyo zonse zokwawa padziko lapansi.

8 Koma Nowa anapeza ufulu pamaso pa Yehova.

9 Mibadwo ya Nowa ndi iyi: Nowa anali munthu wolungama ndi wangwiro m’mibadwo yake; Nowa anayendabe ndi Mulungu.

10 Ndipo Nowa anabala ana aamuna atatu: Semu, Hamu ndi Yafeti.

11 Ndipo dziko lapansi linavunda pamaso pa Mulungu, dziko lapansi ndipo linadzala ndi chiwawa.

12 Ndipo Mulungu anaona dziko lapansi, ndipo taonani, linavunda; pakuti anthu onse anavunditsa njira yao padziko lapansi.

13 Ndipo Mulungu anati kwa Nowa, Chimaliziro chake cha anthu onse chafika pamaso panga; pakuti dziko lapansi ladzala ndi chiwawa chifukwa cha iwo; taonani, ndidzaononga iwo pamodzi ndi dziko lapansi.

14 Udzipangire wekha chingalawa cha mtengo wanjale; upangemo zipinda m’chingalawamo, ndipo upake ndi utoto m’kati ndi kunja.

15 Kupanga kwake ndi kotere: m’litali mwake mwa chingalawa mikono mazana atatu, m’mimba mwake mikono makumi asanu, m’msinkhu mwake mikono makumi atatu.

16 Uike zenera m’chingalawacho, ulimalize ndi kusiya mkono umodzi pamwamba pake: khomo la chingalawa uike m’mbali mwake; nuchipange ndi nyumba yapansi, ndi yachiwiri, ndi yachitatu.

17 Ndine, taonani, ndipo Ine ndidzadzetsa chigumula cha madzi padziko lapansi, kuti chiononge zamoyo zonse, m’mene muli mpweya wa moyo pansi pathambo; zinthu zonse za m’dziko lapansi zidzafa.

18 Koma ndidzakhazikitsa ndi iwe pangano langa; ndipo udzalowa m’chingalawamo iwe ndi ana ako ndi mkazi wako, ndi akazi a ana ako pamodzi ndi iwe.

19 Ndipo zonse zokhala ndi moyo, ziwiriziwiri za mtundu wao ulowetse m’chingalawamo, kuti zikhale ndi moyo pamodzi ndi iwe; zikhale zamphongo ndi zazikazi.

20 Za mbalame monga mwa mitundu yao, ndi zinyama monga mwa mitundu yao, ndi zokwawa zonse za dziko lapansi monga mwa mitundu yao, ziwiriziwiri monga mwa mitundu yao, zidzadza kwa iwe kuti zikhale ndi moyo.

21 Ndipo iwe udzitengereko wekha zakudya zonse zodyedwa, nudzisonkhanitsire izi wekha: ndipo zidzakhala zakudya za iwe ndi za iwo.

22 Chotero anachita Nowa, monga mwa zonse anamlamulira iye Mulungu, momwemo anachita.

Nowa ndi banja lake alowa m’chingalawa

1 Ndipo anati Yehova kwa Nowa, Talowani, iwe ndi akunyumba ako onse m’chingalawamo; chifukwa ndakuona iwe kuti uli wolungama pamaso panga m’mbadwo uno.

2 Nyama zonse zodyedwa udzitengereko wekha zisanu ndi ziwiri, zisanu ndi ziwiri, yamphongo ndi yaikazi yake; ndi nyama zosadyedwa ziwiriziwiri yamphongo ndi yaikazi yake.

3 Ndiponso mbalame za kumlengalenga zisanu ndi ziwiri, zisanu ndi ziwiri, yaimuna ndi yaikazi, kuti mbeu ikhale ndi moyo padziko lonse lapansi.

4 Pakuti akapita masiku asanu ndi awiri Ine ndidzavumbitsa mvula padziko lapansi masiku makumi anai usana ndi usiku; ndi zinthu zamoyo zonse zomwe ndazipanga ndidzaziononga padziko lapansi.

5 Ndipo anachita Nowa monga mwa zonse anamlamulira iye Yehova.

6 Ndipo Nowa anali wa zaka mazana asanu ndi limodzi, pamene chigumula cha madzi chinali padziko lapansi.

7 Ndipo analowa Nowa ndi ana ake ndi mkazi wake ndi akazi a ana ake m’chingalawamo, chifukwa cha madzi a chigumula.

8 Nyama zodyedwa ndi nyama zosadyedwa, ndi mbalame, ndi zonse zokwawa pansi,

9 zinalowa ziwiriziwiri kwa Nowa m’chingalawamo, yamphongo ndi yaikazi, monga momwe Mulungu anamlamulira Nowa.

10 Ndipo panali pamene anapita masiku asanu ndi awiri, madzi a chigumula anali padziko lapansi.

11 Chaka cha mazana asanu ndi limodzi cha moyo wa Nowa, mwezi wachiwiri, tsiku la khumi ndi asanu ndi awiri la mwezi, tsiku lomwelo akasupe onse a madzi aakulu anasefuka, ndi mazenera a kumwamba anatseguka.

12 Ndipo mvula inali padziko lapansi masiku makumi anai usana ndi usiku.

13 Tsiku lomwelo analowa m’chingalawamo Nowa, ndi Semu, ndi Hamu, ndi Yafeti, ana a Nowa, ndi mkazi wake wa Nowa, ndi akazi atatu a ana ake pamodzi nao:

14 iwo, ndi zamoyo zonse monga mwa mitundu yao, ndi zinyama zonse monga mwa mitundu yao, zokwawa zonse zokwawa padziko lapansi monga mwa mitundu yao, ndi zouluka zonse monga mwa mitundu yao, ndi mbalame zonse za mitundumitundu.

15 Ndipo zinalowa kwa Nowa m’chingalawamo ziwiriziwiri zamoyo zonse, m’mene muli mpweya wa moyo.

16 Zimene zinalowazo, zinalowa yamphongo ndi yaikazi zamoyo zonse, monga momwe Mulungu anamlamulira iye: ndipo Yehova anamtsekera iye.

17 Ndipo chigumula chinali padziko lapansi masiku makumi anai: ndipo madzi anachuluka natukula chingalawa, ndipo chinakwera pamwamba padziko lapansi.

18 Ndipo madzi anapambana, nachuluka ndithu padziko lapansi, ndipo chingalawa chinayandama pamadzi.

19 Ndipo madzi anapambana ndithu padziko lapansi; anamizidwa mapiri aatali onse amene anali pansi pathambo lonse.

20 Madzi anapambana ndithu nakwera mikono khumi ndi isanu: namizidwa mapiri.

21 Ndipo zinafa zamoyo zonse zoyenda padziko lapansi, zouluka, ndi nyama, ndi zamoyo, ndi zokwawa zonse zakukwawa padziko lapansi, ndi anthu onse:

22 zonse zimene m’mphuno zao munali mpweya wa mzimu wa moyo, zonse zinali pamtunda, zinafa.

23 Ndipo zinaonongedwa zamoyo zonse zimene zinali padziko lapansi, anthu, ndi nyama, ndi zokwawa, ndi mbalame za m’mlengalenga; ndipo zinaonongedwa padziko lapansi: anatsala Nowa yekha ndi amene anali pamodzi naye m’chingalawa.

24 Ndipo anapambana madzi padziko lapansi masiku zana kudza makumi asanu.

2 ndipo anatsekedwa akasupe a madzi aakulu ndi mazenera a kumwamba, niletsedwa mvula ya kumwamba;

3 ndipo madzi anaphweraphwerabe padziko lapansi: pamene anatha masiku zana limodzi kudza makumi atatu madzi anachepa.

4 Ndipo chingalawa chinaima pamapiri a Ararati, mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, tsiku lakhumi ndi asanu ndi awiri la mwezi.

5 Ndipo madzi analinkuchepa kufikira mwezi wakhumi; mwezi wakhumi tsiku loyamba mwezi ndipo padaoneka mitu ya mapiri.

6 Ndipo panali atapita masiku makumi anai, Nowa anatsegula pa zenera la chingalawa limene analipanga:

7 ndipo anatulutsa khwangwala, ndipo anatuluka kunka kwina ndi kwina kufikira adaphwa madzi padziko lapansi.

8 Ndipo anatulutsa njiwa imchokere, kuti aone kapena madzi anaphwa pamwamba padziko lapansi;

9 koma njiwayo siinapeze popondapo phazi lake, nibwera kwa iye kuchingalawako, pakuti madzi analipo padziko lonse lapansi; ndipo anatulutsa dzanja lake, naitenga, nailowetsa kwa iye m’chingalawamo.

10 Ndipo analinda masiku ena asanu ndi awiri; natulutsanso njiwayo m’chingalawamo;

11 ndipo njiwa inadza kwa iye madzulo; ndipo, taonani, m’kamwa mwake munali tsamba la azitona lothyoledwa: ndipo anadziwa Nowa kuti madzi analimkuphwa padziko lapansi.

12 Ndipo analindanso masiku ena asanu ndi awiri; natulutsa njiwayo: ndipo siinabwerenso konse kwa iye.

13 Ndipo panali chaka cha mazana asanu ndi limodzi kudza chimodzi, mwezi woyamba, tsiku loyamba mwezi, madzi anaphwa padziko lapansi; ndipo Nowa anachotsa tsindwi lake pachingalawa, nayang’ana, ndipo taonani, padauma padziko lapansi.

14 Mwezi wachiwiri tsiku la makumi awiri kudza asanu ndi awiri la mwezi, lidauma dziko lapansi.

15 Mulungu ndipo ananena kwa Nowa, kuti,

16 Tulukamoni m’chingalawamo, iwe ndi ana ako, ndi mkazi wako, ndi akazi a ana ako pamodzi ndi iwe.

17 Tulutsa pamodzi ndi iwe zamoyo zonse zili ndi iwe za nyama zonse, zouluka, ndi zinyama, ndi zokwawa zonse zakukwawa padziko lapansi; kuti ziswane padziko lapansi, zibalane, zichuluke padziko lapansi.

18 Ndipo anatuluka Nowa ndi ana ake, ndi mkazi wake, ndi akazi a ana ake, pamodzi naye:

19 zinyama zonse, zokwawa zonse, zouluka zonse, ndi zonse zokwawa padziko lapansi, monga mwa mitundu yao, zinatuluka m’chingalawamo.

Nowa amanga guwa la nsembe

20 Ndipo Nowa anamanga guwa la nsembe la Yehova; natengapo nyama zodyedwa zonse ndi mbalame zodyedwa zonse napereka nsembe zopsereza paguwapo.

21 Ndipo Yehova anamva chonunkhira chakukondweretsa; nati Yehova m’mtima mwake, Sindidzatembereranso konse nthaka chifukwa cha munthu; pakuti ndingaliro ya mtima wa munthu ili yoipa kuyambira pa unyamata wake; sindidzaphanso konse zinthu zonse zamoyo, monga momwe ndachitiramo.

22 Pakukhalabe masiku a dziko lapansi, nthawi yakubzala ndi yakukunkha, chisanu ndi mafundi, malimwe ndi msakasa, usana ndi usiku sizidzalekai.

Mulungu achita pangano ndi Nowa

1 Ndipo Mulungu anadalitsa Nowa ndi ana ake, nati kwa iwo, Mubalane, muchuluke, mudzaze dziko lapansi.

2 Kuopsa kwanu, ndi kuchititsa mantha kwanu kudzakhala pa zinyama zonse za dziko lapansi, ndi pa zouluka zonse za m’mlengalenga, ndi pa zonse zokwawa pansi, ndi pansomba zonse za m’nyanja, zapatsidwa m’dzanja lanu.

3 Zoyenda zonse zamoyo zidzakhala zakudya zanu; monga therere laliwisi ndakupatsani inu zonsezo.

4 Koma nyama, m’mene muli moyo wake, ndiwo mwazi wake, musadye.

5 Zoonatu mwazi wanu wa miyoyo yanu ndidzafuna; padzanja la zinyama zonse ndidzaufuna: ndi padzanja la munthu, padzanja la mbale wake wa munthu ndidzaufuna moyo wa munthu.

6 Amene akhetsa mwazi wa munthu, ndi munthunso mwazi wake udzakhetsedwa: chifukwa m’chifanizo cha Mulungu Iye anampanga munthu.

7 Ndi inu, mubalane, muchuluke; muswane padziko lapansi, nimuchuluke m’menemo.

8 Ndipo Mulungu ananena kwa Nowa ndi kwa ana ake pamodzi naye, kuti,

11 Ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa pangano langa pamodzi ndi inu; zamoyo zonse sizidzamalizidwanso konse ndi madzi a chigumula; ndipo sikudzakhalanso konse chigumula cha kuononga dziko lapansi.

12 Ndipo anati Mulungu, Ichi ndi chizindikiro cha pangano limene ndipangana ndi Ine ndi inu, ndi zamoyo zonse zili pamodzi ndi inu, ku mibadwomibadwo;

13 ndiika utawaleza wanga m’mtambomo, ndipo udzakhala chizindikiro cha pangano lopangana ndi Ine ndi dziko lapansi.

16 Ndipo utawo udzakhala m’mtambo; ndipo ndidzauyang’anira kuti ndikumbukire pangano lachikhalire lili ndi Mulungu ndi zamoyo zonse zokhala ndi moyo padziko lapansi.

17 Ndipo Mulungu anati kwa Nowa, Ichi ndi chizindikiro cha pangano ndalikhazikitsa popangana ndi Ine ndi zamoyo zonse za padziko lapansi.

18 Ndi ana aamuna a Nowa amene anatuluka m’chingalawa ndiwo Semu, ndi Hamu, ndi Yafeti. Hamu ndiye atate wake wa Kanani.

19 Amenewa ndiwo ana aamuna atatu a Nowa: ndiwo anafalikira dziko lonse lapansi.

Kuledzera kwa Nowa

20 Ndipo anayamba Nowa kukhala munthu wakulima nthaka, ndipo analima munda wampesa:

21 namwa vinyo wake, naledzera; ndipo anali wamaliseche m’kati mwa hema wake.

22 Ndipo Hamu atate wake wa Kanani, anauona umaliseche wa atate wake, nauza abale ake awiri amene anali kunja.

23 Semu ndi Yafeti ndipo anatenga chofunda, nachiika pa mapewa ao a onse awiri, nayenda chambuyo, nafunditsa umaliseche wa atate wao: nkhope zao zinali chambuyo, osaona umaliseche wa atate ao.

24 Nowa ndipo anauka kwa kuledzera kwake, nadziwa chimene anamchitira iye mwana wake wamng’ono.

25 Ndipo anati,

Wotembereredwa ndi Kanani;

adzakhala kwa abale ake kapolo wa akapolo.

26 Ndipo anati,

Ayamikike Yehova, Mulungu wa Semu;

28 Ndipo Nowa anakhala ndi moyo chigumula chitapita, zaka mazana atatu kudza makumi asanu.

29 Ndipo masiku onse a Nowa anali mazana asanu ndi anai kudza makumi asanu: ndipo anamwalira.
