8 1Koma Atate wathu anakumbukira Nowa, ndi zamoyo zonse, ndi ziweto zonse zimene zinali naye m'chombo, napititsa mphepo pa dziko lapansi, kotero madzi anayamba kuphwa. a a v1 Pamene Malemba akuti Atate wathu “anakumbukira,” sizikutanthauza kuti Iye anali ataiwala — zikutanthauza kuti anachitapo kanthu molingana ndi chikondi chake cha pangano pa nthawi yoyikika. 2Akasupe a nyanja yakuya ndi mazenera a kumwamba zinatsekeka, ndipo mvula yochokera kumwamba inaleka. 3Madzi anapitiriza kuphwa pa dziko lapansi, ndipo patatha masiku 150 anatsika. 4Chombo chinakhazikika pa mapiri a Ararati pa tsiku la khumi ndi chisanu ndi chiwiri la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri. b b v4 Ararati akunena za chigawo cha mapiri, osati phiri limodzi lokha. 5Madzi anapitiriza kuphwa mpaka mwezi wakhumi; pa tsiku lake loyamba, nsonga za mapiri zinaonekera.
6Patatha masiku makumi anayi, Nowa anatsekula zenera limene anapanga m'chombo, 7ndipo anatumiza khwangwala, umene unkauluka uku ndi uku kufikira madzi atawuma pa dziko lapansi. 8Kenako anatulutsa nkhunda kwa iye, kuti aone ngati madzi aphwa pamwamba pa nthaka. 9Koma nkhunda sinapeze malo opumulira phazi lake, ndipo inabwerera kwa iye m'chombo, popeza madzi anali akadakwirira pamwamba pa dziko lonse lapansi. Choncho iye anatambasula dzanja lake, naigwira, naibwezera m'chombo. 10Anadikira masiku ena asanu ndi awiri, ndipo anatumizanso nkhunda kuchokera m'chombo. 11Nkhunda inabwerera kwa iye madzulo ake itanyamula pakamwa pake tsamba la mtengo wa olivi lothyoledwa kumene, ndipo Nowa anadziwa kuti madzi aphwa pa dziko lapansi. 12Anadikiranso masiku ena asanu ndi awiri, kenako anatumizanso nkhunda; koma sinabwererenso kwa iye.
13M'chaka cha 601 cha moyo wa Nowa, pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba, madzi anawuma pa dziko lapansi.
