7 Nyuma y’ibyo Yehova abwira Nowa ati: “Genda wowe n’abo mu rugo rwawe bose mwinjire mu bwato kuko nasanze ari wowe ukiranuka mu bantu bo muri iki gihe.+ 2 Mu nyamaswa zose zitanduye* ufatemo zirindwi zirindwi,*+ ingabo n’ingore kandi mu nyamaswa zose zanduye ufatemo ebyiri gusa, ingabo n’ingore. 3 Kandi mu biguruka byo mu kirere ufatemo birindwi birindwi,* ikigabo n’ikigore, kugira ngo bidashira ku isi hose.+ 4 Kuko mu minsi irindwi gusa nzagusha imvura+ mu isi ikamara iminsi 40 n’amajoro 40,+ kandi nzarimbura ibifite ubuzima byose naremye mbimare ku isi.”+ 5 Nuko Nowa akora ibyo Yehova yari yamutegetse byose.

6 Nowa yari afite imyaka 600 igihe ku isi habaga umwuzure.+ 7 Nuko Nowa yinjira mu bwato ari kumwe n’abahungu be, umugore we n’abagore b’abahungu be, mbere y’uko umwuzure+ utangira. 8 Inyamaswa zitanduye, inyamaswa zanduye, ibiguruka n’izindi nyamaswa zigenda ku butaka,+ 9 zinjira ari ebyiri ebyiri, ingabo n’ingore, zisanga Nowa mu bwato, nk’uko Imana yari yarabitegetse Nowa. 10 Hashize iminsi irindwi, ku isi haba umwuzure.

11 Ku itariki ya 17 z’ukwezi kwa kabiri, igihe Nowa yari afite imyaka 600, amasoko yose y’amazi yo mu ijuru arafunguka n’ibitangira amazi byo mu ijuru birafunguka.+ 12 Nuko imvura nyinshi igwa ku isi imara iminsi 40 n’amajoro 40. 13 Kuri uwo munsi Nowa yinjira mu bwato ari kumwe n’abahungu be, ari bo Shemu, Hamu na Yafeti,+ n’umugore we n’abagore batatu b’abahungu be.+ 14 Binjirana n’inyamaswa zose zo mu gasozi z’amoko atandukanye, amatungo yose y’amoko atandukanye, izindi nyamaswa zigenda ku butaka z’amoko atandukanye, ibiguruka byose by’amoko atandukanye, inyoni zose n’ibifite amababa byose. 15 Ibinyabuzima byose byo mu moko atandukanye bikomeza gusanga Nowa mu bwato, bibiri bibiri. 16 Nuko byinjira mu bwato, ikigabo n’ikigore nk’uko Imana yari yabitegetse Nowa. Bimaze kwinjira Yehova akinga urugi.

17 Ku isi haba umwuzure umara iminsi 40, kandi amazi akomeza kwiyongera, aterura ubwato bureremba hejuru cyane kure y’ubutaka. 18 Amazi aba menshi kandi akomeza kwiyongera cyane ku isi, ariko ubwato bukomeza kureremba hejuru y’amazi. 19 Nuko amazi arengera isi, aba menshi cyane ku buryo imisozi miremire yose yo ku isi yarengewe.+ 20 Amazi arengera iyo misozi agera kuri metero esheshatu n’igice* hejuru yayo.

21 Nuko ibinyabuzima byose byo ku isi birapfa.+ Muri byo harimo: Ibiguruka, amatungo, inyamaswa, utundi dusimba twose tugenda ku isi n’abantu bose.+ 22 Ikintu cyose gifite ubuzima kandi gihumeka cyari ku isi, cyarapfuye.+ 23 Nguko uko Imana yamaze ku isi ibifite ubuzima byose, uhereye ku muntu ukageza ku nyamaswa n’izindi nyamaswa zigenda ku butaka n’ibiguruka byo mu kirere, byose yabimaze ku isi.+ Nowa n’abari kumwe na we mu bwato ni bo bonyine barokotse.+ 24 Amazi akomeza kurengera isi, amara iminsi 150.+
