¹ Kwatsi lapho bantfu bacala kwandza emhlabeni nemadvodzakati atalwa emkhatsini wabo, ² emadvodzana aNkulunkulu abona lamadvodzakati ebantfu atsandzeka. Atitsatsela bafati kiwo nalabanye, noma ngubaphi labekatikhetsela bona. . ³ Simakadze Nkulunkulu watsi, "Umoya wami ngeke uhlale nebantfu kube phakadze, ngoba bona bayinyama. Batewuphila iminyaka lengu 120. ⁴ Tinchwaga tatisemuhlabeni ngaleto tikhatsi, nasemuvakwa loko. Loku kwenteka ngesikhatsi emadvodzana aNkulunkulu ashada emadvodzakati emadvodza, base babanebantfwana nebantfwana nabo. Lawa ngemadvodza labekanemandla neludvumo. ⁵ Simakadze wabona kutsi kona kwebantfu emhlabeni sekunengi, nekutsi konke lokusemicabangweni losetinhlitiyeni tabo bekukubi kuchubeka. ⁶ Nkulunkulu watisola ngekwakha bantfu emhlabeni, wadvumala kakhulu enhlitiyeni yakhe. ⁷ Simakadze watsi, "Ngitawususa bantfu lengibadalile etulu kwemhlaba-bantfu netilwane, letihamba ngesisu netinyoni temazulu, ngiyatisola kutsi ngabadalelani." ⁸ Kepha Noah watfola umusa emehlweni aSimakdze. ⁹ Lona bekungumlandvo ngaNoah.

Noah wahamba naNkulunkulu. ¹⁰ Noah waba nguyise wemadvodzana lamatsatfu: Shem, Ham, Japheth. ¹¹ Umhlaba wawukhohlakele embikwa Nkulunkulu, futsi wawugcwele budlova. ¹² Nkulunkulu wabona umhlaba; buka, wawukhohlakele, ngobe yonke inyama yayikhohlakalise indlela yabo emhlabeni. ¹³ Nkulunkulu watsi kuNoah, ''Ngiyabona kutsi sesikhatsi sekubeka siphetfo enyameni, ngoba umhlaba ugcwele budlova ngenca yayo. Nembala, ngitababhubhisa nemhlaba. ¹⁴ Takhele umkhumbi ngelipulango lelicinile.Yakha emagumbi kulomukhumbi, bese uvala ngelitiyela ngekhatsi nangephandle. ¹⁵ Nayi indlela lotoyenta ngayo; Budze balomukhumbi bube libangaba lelingu 300; bubanti balo bube ngemabanga langu 50, bese kuya etulu kuba ngemabanga langu 30. ¹⁶ Yenta luphahla lwalomukhumbi, bese ucedzisa ngebubanti kusukela ngetulu kuya emaceleni. Yakha umnyango emhlubulweni walomkhumbi bese wakha lesibili, nalesitsatfu likamelo. ¹⁷ Lalela, sengitoletsa sikhukhula semanti emhlabeni, sitobhubhisa inyama lephefumulelako ngaphansi kweLizulu. Konkhe lokusemuhlabeni kutakufa. ¹⁸ Kodvwa ngitokwakha sivumelwano nawe.Utawungena emkhunjini, wena, nemadvodzana akho nemfati wakho kanye nebafati bemadvodzana akho. ¹⁹ Kuko konkhe lokuphilako lokudalwe ngenyama, utawuletsa kubili emukhunjini, kute ukugcine kuphila kanye nawe, lokudvuna nalokusikati. ²⁰ Etinyonini ngeluhlobo lwato, nase tilwaneni ngetinhlobo lwato, nako konke lokuhamba ngesisu emuhlabatsini ngeluhlobo lwato, kubili kwako kutokuta kuwe ukugcine kuphila. ²¹ Hlanganisani lonkhe luhlobo lwekudla lokudliwako nikugcine, kutoba kudla kwenu nekwato. ²² Ngako ke Noah wakwenta njalo.
