12 Walinda eminye imihla ekwasixhenxe, walisusa ihobe; aliphindanga libuyele kuye kanjalo.
13 Kwathi, ngomnyaka wamakhulu omathandathu anamnye, ngolokuqala enyangeni yokuqala, amanzi atsha ehlabathini; uNowa walususa uphahla lomkhombe; wakhangela, nango umhlaba womile.
14 Ngenyanga yesibini, ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesixhenxe enyangeni leyo, woma kwaphela umhlaba.
15 Wathetha uThixo kuNowa, esithi,
16 Phuma emkhombeni, wena nomkakho, noonyana bakho, nabafazi boonyana bakho, ndawonye nawe.
17 Zonke izinto eziphilileyo ezikuwe, kwinyama yonke, ezintakeni, nasezintweni ezizitho ziné, nasezinambuzaneni zonke ezinambuzelayo emhlabeni, phuma nazo, zizalìse ihlabathi, ziqhame, zande ehlabathini.
18 Waphuma ke uNowa, noonyana bakhe, nomkakhe, nabafazi boonyana bakhe, ndawonye naye.
