Postanak 8
1 Onda se Bog sjeti Noe, svih zvijeri i sve stoke što bijaše s njim u korablji, pa pokrenu vjetar nad zemljom da uzbije vodu.
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were assuaged;
2 Zatvoriše se izvori bezdanu i ustave nebeske, i dažd s neba prestade.
The fountains also of the deep, and the windows of heaven were stopped; and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3 Polako se povlačile vode sa zemlje. Nakon stotinu pedeset dana vode su jenjale,
And the waters returned from off the earth, gradually returning; and the waters were abated after the end of the hundred and fifty days.
4 a sedmoga mjeseca, sedamnaestog dana u mjesecu korablja se zaustavi na brdima Ararata.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 Vode su neprestano opadale do desetog mjeseca, a prvoga dana desetog mjeseca pokažu se brdski vrhunci.
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen;
6 Kad je izminulo četrdeset dana, Noa otvori prozor što ga je načinio na korablji;
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;
7 ispusti gavrana, a gavran svejednako odlijetaše i dolijetaše dok se vode sa zemlje nisu isušile.
And he sent forth a raven which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Zatim ispusti golubicu da vidi je li voda nestala sa zemlje.
He then sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.
9 Ali golubica ne nađe uporišta nogama te se vrati k njemu u korablju, jer voda još pokrivaše svu površinu; on pruži ruku, uhvati golubicu te je unese k sebi u korablju.
But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him unto the ark; for there was water on the face of the whole earth; then he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her into the ark.
10 Počeka još sedam dana pa opet pusti golubicu iz korablje.
And he stayed yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 Prema večeri golubica se vrati k njemu, i gle! u kljunu joj svjež maslinov list; tako je Noa doznao da su opale vode sa zemlje.
And the dove came in to him at the time of the evening; and, lo, an olive-leaf plucked off was in her mouth; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Još počeka sedam dana pa opet pusti golubicu: više mu se nije vratila.
And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned not again unto him any more.
13 Šest stotina prve godine Noina života, prvoga mjeseca, prvog dana u mjesecu uzmakoše vode sa zemlje. Noa skine pokrov s korablje i pogleda: površina okopnjela.
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14 A drugoga mjeseca, sedamnaestog dana u mjesecu, zemlja bijaše suha.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth perfectly dried up.
15 Tada Bog reče Noi:
And God spoke unto Noah, saying,
16 “Iziđi iz korablje, ti, tvoja žena, tvoji sinovi i žene tvojih sinova s tobom.
Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Sa sobom izvedi sva živa bića, sva stvorenja što su s tobom: ptice, stoku i sve gmizavce što zemljom puze; neka zemljom vrve, plode se i na zemlji množe!”
Every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 I Noa iziđe, a s njime sinovi njegovi, žena njegova i žene sinova njegovih.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Sve životinje, svi gmizavci, sve ptice - svi stvorovi što se zemljom miču - iziđu iz korablje, vrsta za vrstom.
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 I podiže Noa žrtvenik Jahvi; uze od svih čistih životinja i od svih čistih ptica i prinese na žrtveniku žrtve paljenice.
And Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and he took of every clean cattle, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 Jahve omirisa miris ugodni pa reče u sebi: “Nikad više neću zemlju u propast strovaliti zbog čovjeka, tÓa čovječje su misli opake od njegova početka; niti ću ikad više uništiti sva živa stvorenja, kako sam učinio.
And the Lord smelled the sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for the sake of man; although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 Sve dok zemlje bude, sjetve, žetve, studeni, vrućine, ljeta, zime, dani, noći nikada prestati neće.”
All the while the earth remaineth, 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
