₅Jwale Morena a bona hore bokgopo ba batho lefatsheng bo boholo haholo, le hore mehopolo ya dipelo tsa bona e tletse bobe kamehla. ₆Morena a swaba ha a ile a etsa motho lefatsheng, pelo ya hae ya utlwa bohloko. ₇Yaba Morena o re: “Batho bao ke ba bopileng ke tla ba fedisa lefatsheng; batho, mmoho le diphoofolo, le dihahabi, le dinonyana tse fofang, hobane ke a itshwabela ha ke ile ka ba etsa.” ₈Empa Nowe yena a hauhelwa ke Morena.

₉Tsena ke ditaba tsa Nowe. Nowe e ne e le motho ya lokileng, ya neng a hloka kodi hara ba mehla eo, mme metsamao ya hae ya kgahla Modimo.

₁₀A tswala bara ba bararo: Sema, le Kama, le Jafeta.

₁₁Mahlong a Modimo lefatshe le ne le bodile, le tletse dipolayano. ₁₂Modimo a bona hore lefatshe le bodile, batho bohle ba itshilafaditse. ₁₃Jwale Modimo a re ho Nowe: “Ke rerile ho fedisa tsohle tse phelang lefatsheng, hobane lefatshe le tletse dipolayano ka baka la batho; ke tla ba timetsa mmoho le lefatshe.

₁₄“Iketsetse areka ka difate tsa phaena, o e etse dikamore, mme o e bitiele ka boka kantle le kahare. ₁₅O tla e haha tjena: bolelele ba areka e be dimethara tse lekgolo le mashome a mararo a metso e meraro, bophara ba yona e be dimethara tse mashome a mabedi a metso e mmedi, mme bophahamo ba yona e be dimethara tse leshome le metso e meraro. ₁₆Areka eo o e etsetse fesetere e tla kenya lesedi, mme pakeng tsa yona le marulelo e be bolelele ba disenthimethara tse mashome a mane a metso e mene; monyako wa areka o etswe lehlakoreng la yona. Ho be le dikamore tse katlase, tse hare, le tse kahodimo.

₁₇“Ke tla tlisa morallo wa metsi ho kwahela lefatshe, ho timetsa tsohle tse phelang, tse tlasa lehodimo. Tsohle tse lefatsheng di tla timela. ₁₈Empa wena ke tla etsa selekane le wena. O tla kena ka arekeng, wena le bara ba hao, le mosadi wa hao, le dingwetsi tsa hao. ₁₉O tla kena ka arekeng le diphoofolo tsohle tse phelang, tse pedi mofuteng o mong le o mong, e be e tona le e tshehadi, di tle di phele mmoho le wena. ₂₀Dinonyana ka mefuta ya tsona, le diphoofolo ka mefuta ya tsona, le dihahabi ka mefuta ya tsona, di kene le wena ka arekeng ka bobedi, di tle di phele. ₂₁O bokelle dijo tsohle tse tla jewa, o di kenye ka arekeng, e tle e be dijo tsa hao le tsa diphoofolo.”

₂₂Nowe a etsa jwalo; a etsa jwalokaha Modimo a ne a mo laetse.

₁Morena a re ho Nowe: “Wena, le ba ntlo ya hao, kena ka arekeng, hobane ke bone hore molokong ona ke wena feela ya lokileng mahlong a ka. ₂Diphoofolong tsohle tse sa ileheng, o nke tse supileng tse tona, le tse supileng tse tshehadi; ho tsohle tse ilehang o nke tse pedi, e be e tona le e tshehadi. ₃Dinonyananeng tsohle tse fofang o nke tse supileng ka bobedi, e be e tona le e tshehadi, hore mofuta wa tsona o tle o bolokehe lefatsheng. ₄Kamora matsatsi a supileng, ho tloha jwale, ke tla nesetsa lefatshe pula ka matsatsi a mashome a mane, le masiu a mashome a mane, mme ke tla fedisa tsohle tse phelang lefatsheng, tseo ke di entseng.”

₅Nowe a etsa jwalokaha Morena a ne a mo laetse.

₆Nowe o ne a ena le dilemo tse makgolo a tsheletseng ha morallo wa metsi o eba teng lefatsheng. ₇Yare metsi a morallo a eso fihle, Nowe a kena ka arekeng a ena le bara ba hae, le mosadi wa hae, le dingwetsi tsa hae. ₈Diphoofolo tse sa ileheng le tse ilehang, le dinonyana, le dihahabi tsohle, ₉tsa tla ka bobedi, e le e tona le e tshehadi, tsa kena ka arekeng le Nowe, jwalokaha Morena a ne a mo laetse. ₁₀Yare hoba matsatsi a supileng a fete, morallo wa metsi wa eba teng lefatsheng.

₁₁Ka selemo sa makgolo a tsheletseng sa ho phela ha Nowe, ka kgwedi ya bobedi, ka letsatsi la leshome le metso e supileng, ka lona letsatsi leo mehlodi yohle ya bodiba bo boholo ya phunyeha, le maru a tsholella metsi lefatsheng. ₁₂Ka matsatsi a mashome a mane, le masiu a mashome a mane, lefatshe la nelwa ke pula ya ditlwebelele.

₁₃Ka lona letsatsi leo Nowe le bara ba hae, Sema le Kama le Jafeta, le mosadi wa Nowe, le dingwetsi tse tharo tsa Nowe, ba kena ka arekeng, ₁₄mmoho le mefuta yohle ya diphoofolo, le mefuta yohle ya dihahabi, le mefuta yohle ya dinonyana. ₁₅Dibopuwa tse phelang tsa kena ka bobedi ka arekeng ho Nowe. ₁₆Tse ileng tsa kena e ne e le e tona, le e tshehadi, jwalokaha Modimo a ne a mo laetse. Jwale Morena a mo kwalla kahare.

₁₇Morallo wa nna wa tswela pele lefatsheng ka matsatsi a mashome a mane. Ha metsi a ntse a eketseha a phaphamatsa areka, ya phahamela lefatshe. ₁₈Metsi a nna a kokomoha, a eketseha haholo, mme areka ya nna ya lweba hodima metsi. ₁₉Metsi a kokomoha haholo lefatsheng, a kwahela dithaba tsohle tse telele, tse tlasa lehodimo. ₂₀Metsi a nna a kokomoha ho fihlela a etsa dimethara tse supileng kahodimo ho dithaba. ₂₁Dibopuwa tsohle tse phelang lefatsheng tsa shwa: dinonyana, makgomo, diphoofolo tse hlaha, le tsohle tse tsamayang ka dikgakgatha lefatsheng, le batho bohle. ₂₂Tsohle tse neng di phela lefatsheng moo ho ommeng, tsa shwa. ₂₃Morena a timetsa tsohle tse phelang lefatsheng: batho le makgomo, dihahabi le dinonyana tse fofang; tsohle tsa timetswa lefatsheng. Ha sala Nowe feela le bao a neng a ena le bona ka arekeng.
