Genesis 8
1 Tsono Mulungu anakumbukira Nowa ndi nyama zonse zakuthengo ndi ziweto zimene anali nazo mu chombo. Yehova anatumiza mphepo pa dziko lapansi ndipo madzi anaphwera.
And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2 Tsono akasupe a madzi ambiri a pansi pa dziko ndi zitseko za madzi a kumwamba zinatsekedwa, ndipo mvula inaleka kugwa.
And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
3 Madzi amaphwabe pa dziko lapansi. Pakutha pa masiku 150, madzi anatsika,
And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
4 ndipo pa tsiku la 17 la mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, chombo chija chinakakhazikika pa mapiri a Ararati.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 Madzi anapitirira kuphwa mpaka mwezi wa khumi, ndipo pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wa khumiwo msonga za mapiri zinayamba kuonekera.
And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 Patapita masiku makumi anayi, Nowa anatsekula zenera limene anapanga mʼchombomo
And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 natulutsa khwangwala, koma khwangwalayo ankangowuluka uku ndi uku mpaka madzi anawuma pa dziko lapansi.
And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
8 Kenaka anatulutsa nkhunda kuti aone ngati madzi aphwa pa dziko.
And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
9 Koma nkhunda sinapeze poti nʼkutera chifukwa panali madzi ponseponse pa dziko lapansi. Choncho inabwerera kwa Nowa mʼchombo. Nowa anatulutsa dzanja lake kunja ndi kutenga nkhundayo kuyibwezera mʼchombo mmene iye anali.
But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
10 Choncho anadikirabe masiku ena asanu ndi awiri ndipo anatulutsanso nkhundayo mʼchombo muja.
And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 Pamene nkhunda inabwerera madzulo ake, inali itanyamula tsamba laliwisi la mtengo wa olivi. Motero Nowa anadziwa kuti madzi aphwadi pa dziko lapansi.
And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.
12 Iye anadikira masiku ena asanu ndi awiri ndipo anatumizanso nkhunda ija, koma nthawi imeneyi sinabwererenso kwa iye.
And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
13 Pofika tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba wa chaka chimene Nowa anakwanitsa zaka 601, madzi anawuma pa dziko lapansi. Ndipo Nowa anachotsa denga la chombo ndipo anaona kuti kunja kwawuma.
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.
14 Pokwana tsiku la 27 la mwezi wachiwiri dziko lapansi linawumiratu.
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Tsono Mulungu anawuza Nowa kuti,
And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Iwe, mkazi wako, ana ako pamodzi ndi akazi awo tulukani mʼchombomo.
Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Tulutsa zamoyo zonse zili ndi iwe, mbalame, nyama ndi zokwawa zonse kuti ziswane ndi kuchulukana pa dziko lapansi.”
Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.
18 Nowa anatuluka pamodzi ndi ana ake aamuna, mkazi wake ndi akazi a ana ake.
And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Nyama zonse, zokwawa zonse, mbalame zonse, chilichonse choyenda pa dziko lapansi, zinatuluka mʼchombo motsogozana monga mwa mitundu yawo.
All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl — everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.
20 Pamenepo Nowa anamanga guwa lansembe la Yehova ndipo anatengako mtundu uliwonse wa nyama zoti nʼkudya ndi mbalame zoti nʼkudya naperekapo nsembe yopsereza.
And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 Yehova atamva fungo labwino anati mu mtima mwake: “Sindidzatembereranso nthaka chifukwa cha munthu, ngakhale kuti maganizo a mu mtima mwake ndi oyipa kuyambira ubwana wake. Ndipo sindidzawononganso zolengedwa zonse zamoyo monga ndachitiramu.
And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.
22 “Nthawi zonse mmene dziko lapansi lidzakhalire, nthawi yodzala ndi nthawi yokolola yozizira ndi yotentha, dzinja ndi chilimwe, usana ndi usiku, sizidzatha.”
Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
