6 Sambano ŵandu ŵatandite kutupa pachilambo chapasi. Jemanjaji ŵaŵelechesoni ŵanache ŵachakongwe. 2 Kaneko ŵanache* ŵa Mlungu jwakuwona ŵatandite kuyiwona kuti ŵanache ŵachakongwe ŵa ŵandu ali ŵakusalala. Myoyo jemanjaji ŵatandite kulombela jwamkongwe julijose juŵamsachile. 3 Kaneko Yehofa ŵatite, “Ngangusaka kuti mbitilisye kwatendela chanasa ŵandu ligongo ali ŵakulemwa mnope. Myoyo masiku ga umi wa ŵandu chigaŵe yaka 120 basi.”
4 Mu masiku gelego soni pasogolo pakwe, pachilambo chapasi papali Anefili.* Pandaŵi jelejo ŵanache ŵa Mlungu jwakuwona, ŵagonaga ni ŵanache ŵachakongwe ŵa ŵandu soni ŵaŵelechelaga ŵanache ŵachalume. Ŵanache ŵaŵapagwagawo ŵaliji ŵamachili mnope mundaŵi jakalajo soni ŵaliji ŵakumanyika mnope.
5 Pelepo Yehofa ŵayiweni kuti kusakala kwa ŵandu pachilambo chapasi kwaliji kwekulungwa mnope, soni ŵayiweni kuti nganisyo sya m’mitima mwawo syaliji syakusakalape basi ndaŵi syosope. 6 Myoyo Yehofa jwadandawile* mnope kuti ŵapanganyisye ŵandu pachilambo chapasi soni yampweteche mnope mumtima. 7 Ni Yehofa ŵatite, “Chinapyajile ŵandu wosope ŵanapanganyisye pachilambo chapasi. Chinampyajile mundu pampepe ni yinyama yakulanga, yinyama yakwaŵa ni yosope yaguluka mwinani, ligongo ngudandawula mnope kuti nayipanganyisye yeleyi.” 8 Nambo Yehofa ŵam’weni Nowa kuti ali mundu jwambone.
9 Sambano aji jili mbili ja Nowa.
Nowa jwaliji mundu jwakulungama. Jwalakwe jwaliji mundu jwangali chakulemwa chilichose pasikati pa ŵandu ŵa mundaŵi jakwe.* Nowa jwajesile ni Mlungu jwakuwona. 10 Pali papite ndaŵi, Nowa jwaŵeleche ŵanache ŵatatu ŵachalume. Mena ga ŵanacheŵa galiji Semu, Hamu soni Yafeti. 11 Nambo Mlungu jwakuwona ŵayiweni kuti chilambo chapasi chisakale mnope soni kuti chigumbele ni yindu yachiwawa. 12 Elo, Mlungu ŵachilolite chilambo chapasi, mwamti ŵachiweni kuti chisakele mnope ligongo yitendo ya ŵandu wosope pachilambo chapasi yaliji yakusakala.
13 Panyuma pakwe Mlungu ŵamsalile Nowa kuti, “Ngusaka konanga ŵandu wosope, pakuŵa chilambo chapasi chigumbele ni yindu yachiwawa ligongo lya jemanjaji. Myoyo chinajonanje jemanjaji yimpepe ni chilambo chapasi. 14 Myoyo mlipanganyichisye chombo kutyochela ku matabwa ga chitela chambone. Mŵiche yipinda mkati mwa chombocho, soni mchisyasyajile ni lipula mkati ni kusa kwakwe. 15 Kapanganye kakwe kaŵe kamti myi: Ulewu wa chombocho uŵe makono* 300, mchijipi mwakwe muŵe makono 50, soni chiŵe makono 30 kwawula mwinani. 16 Chombocho chikolesoni liwindo* kuti papiteje lilanguka. Liwindolyo mliŵiche pa ulewu wa mkono umo kutyochela pawupelele msakasa wa chombocho. Mŵichesoni mlango wa chombocho cha mumbali mwakwe. Chombocho chiŵe cha nyumba sitatu syesajikane, jine pasi, jine pasikati soni jine penani.
17 “Une chiyikasye chigumula cha mesi kuti chijonanje chaumi chilichose chapachilambo chapasi, chilichose chachikwete mpweya wa umi. Mwamti yosope yayili pachilambo chapasi yichiwa. 18 Sambano une ngutenda chilanga ni mmwejo. Mmwejo chimchisosekwa kwinjila m’chombomo yimpepe ni ŵanache ŵenu ŵachalume, ŵamkwenu soni achiŵamkwawo ŵa ŵanache ŵenuwo. 19 Chimchisosekwa kwinjila m’chombomo ni yinyama ya mtundu uliwose, soni chimchisosekwa kuyijinjisya yiŵiliyiŵili chachilume ni chachikongwe, kuti nombenayo yisunjiche ni umi pampepe ni mmwejo. 20 Chimchisosekwa kwinjisya yinyama yiŵiliyiŵili kuti yisunjiche ni umi. Chimjinjisye yaguluka ya mwinani mwakamulana ni mtundu wakwe, yinyama yakulanga mwakamulana ni mtundu wakwe soni yinyama yosope yakwaŵa mwakamulana ni mtundu wakwe. 21 Nambo mmwejo chimchisosekwa kusonganganya soni kujigala yakulya yamtundu uliwose pakwinjila m’chombomo. Yakulya yeleyi yili yakuti mkalyeje mmwejo soni yinyamayo.”
