In ordering the building of the ark the Lord said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth...And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die" (Genesis 6:13, 17).
Catiamẽla Ketande lia pita koloneke via Noha, Suku wa popia hati: "Ame ndokisa kilu lieve etande liovava; nyõla oviendalomuenyo viosi vi kasi lefuimo liomuenyo [ruʹach] vemẽhi lilu."
