8 Modimo ha a ka a lebala* Noe le diphoofolo tsohle tse hlaha le tse ruuwang tse neng di ena le yena ka arekeng.+ Modimo a etsa hore moya o foke lefatsheng yaba metsi a qala ho fokotseha.
2 Mehlodi ya metsi le dikgoro tsa metsi tsa mahodimo tsa kwaleha. Pula ya emisa ho na.*+
3 Metsi a fokotseha butlebutle mme ka mora matsatsi a 150 a ne a se a fokotsehile.
4 Ka letsatsi la bo17 kgweding ya bosupa, areka ya dula dithabeng tsa Ararate.
5 Metsi a ne a ntse a fokotseha butlebutle ho fihlela kgweding ya leshome. Ka letsatsi la pele kgweding ya leshome, dithaba tsa qala ho bonahala.+
6 Ka mora matsatsi a 40, Noe a bula fensetere+ eo a neng a e entse arekeng
7 mme a roma lekgwaba. Le ne le ntse le fofa ka ntle, le ya le kgutla ho fihlela metsi a omme.
8 Ha morao Noe a romela leeba ho bona hore na metsi a fokotsehile.
9 Leeba la se ke la fumana moo le ka dulang teng,* ka hoo la kgutlela ho yena arekeng hobane metsi a ne a ntse a kwahetse lefatshe lohle.+ A ntsha letsoho yaba o kenya leeba ka arekeng.
10 A ema matsatsi a mang a supileng mme a romela leeba hape.
11 Ha leeba le fihla ho yena mantsiboya, a bona molomong le ena le lekgasi la mohlwaare le qetang ho kguwa. Noe a tseba hore metsi a fokotsehile.+
12 A ema matsatsi a mang a supileng yaba o romela leeba empa ha le a ka la hlola le kgutlela ho yena.
13 Ka selemo sa bo601,+ ka letsatsi la pele kgweding ya pele, metsi a ne a fokotsehile. Noe a bula karolo e nngwe ya marulelo a areka mme a bona hore ho ntse ho oma.
14 Ka letsatsi la bo27 kgweding ya bobedi, ho ne ho se ho omme.
15 Modimo a re ho Noe:
16 “Tswa ka arekeng le mosadi wa hao, bara ba hao le dingwetsi tsa hao.+
17 O tswe le dibopuwa tsohle,+ e leng dibopuwa tse fofang, diphoofolo tsohle tse ruuwang, tse hlaha le tse hahabang e le hore di ka ata mme tsa ngatafala lefatsheng.”+
18 Noe a tswa le bara ba hae,+ mosadi wa hae le dingwetsi tsa hae.
19 Diphoofolo tsohle tse hlaha le tse hahabang le dibopuwa tsohle tse fofang, le tsona tsa tswa ka arekeng ka mefuta ya tsona.+
20 Noe a hahela Jehova aletare+ mme a nka diphoofolo tse ding ho tsohle tse hlwekileng le dibopuwa tse ding ho tsohle tse fofang tse hlwekileng,+ a etsa dinyehelo tsa setjheso ka tsona aletareng.+
21 Jehova a utlwa monko o monate.* Jehova a re ka pelong: “Nke ke ka hlola ke rohaka* lefatshe+ ka lebaka la motho hobane ka tlhaho motho o nahana dintho tse mpe ho tloha botjheng.+ Nke ke ka hlola ke fedisa dibopuwa tsohle jwalo ka ha ke entse.+
22 Ho tloha hona jwale, ha ho mohla lefatshe le tla kgaotsa ho ba le nako ya motshehare le ya bosiu, ya ho jala peo le ho kotula, ya serame le motjheso le ya lehlabula le mariha.”+
