6 Muze atu aputukile kwoka hashi ni kusema ana a mapwo, 2 ana ja Zambi* wamwenemwene yamona ngwo ana a mapwo ja atu kali yileza. Kashika, yaputuka kumbata mapwo eswe waze asakwile. 3 Mba Yehova yamba ngwenyi: “Spiritu yami kuyichi kununga ni kulihumikiza ni mutu ku miaka yeswe, mumu ayo kakulinga yuma kulita ni musunya. Kashika, matwama wika ni mwono miaka 120.”

4 Hashi hapwile yindululu* ha matangwa waze, ni ha matangwa waze ahachileho. Ha matangwa jacho, ana ja Zambi wamwenemwene yanunga ni kulimona ni ana a mapwo ja atu, mba ayo yaasemena ana. Ana jacho kapwile akwa-ndundo ku shakulu, malunga a lufuma.

5 Chocho, Yehova yamona ngwenyi ungulungulu wa atu hiwoka chinji hashi, yamona nawa ngwenyi, manyonga eswe a mu mbunge yo kapwile wika api mashimbu eswe. 6 Yehova yanenganyana mumu lia kutanga atu hashi, yevwa yikola mu mbunge yenyi. 7 Kashika, Yehova yamba ngwenyi: “Mungunongesa atu waze natangile hashi, atu hamuwika ni yimuna, tushitu waze akukalala ni yitangiwa yize ya kuhumuka mwilu, mumu ngunalinyenge ha kwalinga.” 8 Alioze, Noa yapwa ni utayizo kumeso ja Yehova.

9 Yono mwe lusango wa Noa.

Noa kapwile mukwa-ululi. Te keshi kapalia* hakachi ka atu* a ha mashimbu jenyi. Noa wendele ni Zambi wamwenemwene. 10 Ha kupalika cha mashimbu, Noa yasema ana atatu a malunga: Sheme, Hame ni Yafwe. 11 Alioze, hashi hapihile chinji kumeso ja Zambi, hazalile too ni upupilo. 12 Ewa, Zambi yatala hashi yamona ngwenyi, hanapiha chinji; mumu atu* eswe hashi te kakulinga yuma yipi.

13 Mba Zambi yamba kuli Noa ngwenyi: “Nakwata chiyulo cha kunongesa atu* eswe, mumu hashi hanazala too ni upupilo mumu lia ayo; kashika, mungwanongesa hamuwika ni he hashi. 14 Tunga ulungu* wa mutondo wa mungofwe. Ukasemo yipatulo ni kuushila ni usososhi muchima ni haze. 15 Ukautunge chino: Kusuhwa chawo muchikapwa metru* 134, utohwe wawo muukapwa metru* 22, chizundamo chawo muchikapwa metru* 13. 16 Mukasako kapenda umuwika hanga akatomese mu ulungu. Kapenda wacho makapwa chitenda chimuwika kukatuka ku fulumba. Watamba kusa chikolo cha ulungu sali limwe ni kutunga ulungu wacho ni chipatulo chimuwika mushi, chamuchiali hakachi, chamuchitatu helu.

17 “Munguneha sanga lia meya hashi hanga ngunongese yitangiwa* yeswe yikwete mwiko wa mwono* mushi lia lilu. Yuma yeswe yatwama hashi muyikafwa. 18 Mungukolesa usendo wami ni yena, watamba kunjila mu ulungu hamwe ni ana je a malunga, pwo lie, ni mapwo ja ana je. 19 Ku yitangiwa yeswe ya mwono, ukanjise mu ulungu yiali yiali ya ku milali yeswe, kuji ni chihwo, hanga ukayifunge ni mwono hamwe ni yena. 20 Ku yitangiwa yeswe ya kuhumuka mwilu kulita ni milali yayo, ku yimuna yeswe kulita ni milali yayo, ni kuli tushitu eswe akukalala kulita ni milali yo, makaya kuli yena aali aali a ku milali yeswe hanga akanjile mu ulungu, ukaafunge ni mwono. 21 Hakutwala kuli yena, watamba kukunga ni kufunga kulia cheka ni cheka chize mukalia yena ni tushitu.”

22 Mba Noa yalinga yeswe yize Zambi amutumine. Yayilinga chizechene amulwezele.
