¹ Mwari wakazorangarira Nowa, nezvinyama zvese zvomushango uye nezvinyama zvese zvinopfuiwa panyumba zvanga zviri naiyena mu arica. Mwari wakafuridza imwe mhepo padhenga penyika, uye mvura dzakatanga kupunguka. ² Zvimbo zvakadhikisisa uye nemusowo dzedhenga zvakafungika, uye mvura yakazoima kunaya. ³ Mvura yaipunguka nguwa yese panyika. Kupera kwemazuwa txuru nemazana mashanu, mvura yanga yapunguka zvikuro. ⁴ Arica yakaima pamwedzi wetchinomwe, pazuwa gumi nezvinomwe, pamusoro pematunhu eararate. ⁵ Mvura yakaramba yetchi punguka kudzamara mwedzi wetchigumi. Pazuwa rekutanga remwedzi wetchigumi, minzuwa dzematunhu dzakaoneka. ⁶ Zvakazoitika kuti, kupera kwemazuwa makumi marongomuna, Nowa wakafungura janera rearica ya anga aita ⁷ uye wakasunungura gunguwo, rai enda retchi whirira, kudzamara mvura yaoma yese panyika. ⁸ Saka yena wakazotuma njiya kuti aone kuti mvura yanga yapunguka here pamberi penyika, ⁹ asi njiya aizi kuwona mbuto yokuima. saka yakawhirira kuna Nowa mu arica, nokuti mvura yanga yakafukidza nyika yese. Yena wakatandadza nyara yake, kakubhata njiya kakuipinza mukati mearica naye. ¹⁰ Yena wakaimira mamwe mazuwa manomwe uye wakaisunungurazve njiya kuti iyende kunza kwe arica. ¹¹ Njia yakawhirira kuna yena pakudhoka kwe zuwa, uye yai unzisa pamuromo payo sakani remuonde ritswa. ¹² Nokudharo, Nowa wakazviziya kuti mvura yanga yapunguka panyika. Wakaimirazve mazuwa manomwezve kaku sunungurazve njiya. Yona aizi kuwhirirazve kwaari. ¹³ Zvakazoitika kuti, pazuwa rekutanga regore rezvuru zvitanhatu nerimwe, mvura yakaoma panyika. Nowa wakabhisa dhenga re arica, uye wakanangira kunza uye wakaona kuti hope yenyika yanga yakaoma. ¹⁴ Pamwedzi wetchipiri, pama zuwa makumi mairi nozvinomwe, nyika yanga yaoma. ¹⁵ Mwari wakati kuna Nowa: ¹⁶ "Bhudha mu arica, iwewe nomukadzi wako, ana ako uye ne anakadzi e ana ako. ¹⁷ Bvisa tchisikwa tchese tchinorarama tche nyama, zvino mburuka uye nezvino pfuiwa panyumba, uye nezvinyama zvino famba nendani zveidzikwekweredza panyika, kuitira kuti zvibhare, zvikure uye zviwande panyika" ¹⁸ Hino, Nowa wakabhudha neana ake, nemukadzi ake uye neanakadzi e ana ake. ¹⁹ Nezvisikwa zvese zvinorarama: zvinomburuka, zvinopfuiwa panyumba, zvinyama zvemushango uye netcinyama tchese tchino dzikwekweredza, se ukama wazvo, akasia arica. ²⁰ Nowa wakagadzira aritari kuna Ishe. Yena wakatora zvimwe zvinyama zvakatchena uye dzimwe shiri dzakatchena akadzibhaira setchipiriso pa aritari. ²¹ Ishe akazuwa kunhuwhira kwakanaka uye akati mumwoyo Mao: Inini anditchazotukizve nyika ngondaya yemunhu, kunyangwe zvinanguwa zvemwoyo zvemunhu zvaka shata kubva kutanga kwake munhu, uye anditchaputsizve zvinorarama zvese , se Zvandabva kuita zvino. ²² Saka nyika ikaramba iripo, kusima, uye kukotokora, kutonhora uye kupisa, marimo uye mainza, zuwa ne usiko azvizoperi".
