1 Mojžišova 8
1 Rozpomenul se pak Bůh na Noé, i všecky živočichy a všecka hovada, kteráž byla s ním v korábu; pročež uvedl Bůh vítr na zemi, i zastavily se vody.
But God (did not forget/thought) about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water [to begin] to recede.
2 A zavříny jsou studnice propasti i průduchové nebeští, a zastaven jest příval s nebe.
God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.
3 I navrátily se vody se svrchku země, odcházejíce zase, a opadly vody po stu a padesáti dnech,
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 Tak že odpočinul koráb sedmého měsíce, v sedmnáctý den toho měsíce na horách Ararat.
(on the 17th day of the seventh month [of that year/late in March]), the boat came to rest on one of the mountains in the Ararat region.
5 Když pak vody odcházely a opadaly až do desátého měsíce, prvního dne téhož desátého měsíce ukázali se vrchové hor.
The water continued to recede until, on the first day of the tenth month [of that year], the tops of other mountains became visible.
6 I stalo se po čtyřidcíti dnech, otevřev Noé okno v korábu, kteréž byl udělal,
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 Vypustil krkavce. Kterýžto vyletuje zase se vracoval, dokudž nevyschly vody na zemi.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 Potom vypustil holubici od sebe, aby věděl, již-li by opadly vody se svrchku země.
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on the ground.
9 Kterážto když nenašla, kde by odpočinula noha její, navrátila se k němu do korábu; nebo vody byly po vší zemi. On pak vztáhna ruku svou, vzal ji, a vnesl k sobě do korábu.
But the dove did not find any place to perch, so it flew back to Noah in the boat, because there was still water all over the surface of the earth. So Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back inside the boat.
10 A počekal ještě sedm dní jiných, a opět vypustil holubici z korábu.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
11 I přiletěla k němu holubice k večerou, a aj, list olivový utržený v ústech jejích. Tedy poznal Noé, že opadly vody se svrchku země.
This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, [surprisingly], in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground.
12 I čekal ještě sedm dní jiných, a opět vypustil holubici, kterážto nevrátila se k němu více.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 I stalo se šestistého prvního léta, v první den měsíce prvního, že vyschly vody na zemi. I odjal Noé přikrytí korábu a uzřel, ano již oschl svrchek země.
Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month [of the Jewish year], the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying.
14 Druhého pak měsíce, v dvadcátý sedmý den téhož měsíce oschla země.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 I mluvil Bůh k Noé, řka:
Then God said to Noah,
16 Vyjdi z korábu, ty i žena tvá, a synové tvoji, i ženy synů tvých s tebou.
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
17 Všecky živočichy, kteříž jsou s tebou ze všelikého těla, tak z ptactva jako z hovad a všelikého zeměplazu, kterýž se hýbe na zemi, vyveď s sebou; ať se v hojnosti rozplozují na zemi, a rostou a množí se na zemi.
Bring out with you all the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that scurry across the ground, in order that they can spread all over the earth and become very numerous.”
18 I vyšel Noé a synové jeho, i žena jeho a ženy synů jeho s ním;
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
19 Každý živočich, každý zeměplaz a všecko ptactvo, všecko, což se hýbe na zemi, po pokoleních svých vyšlo z korábu.
And every kind of creature, including all those that scurry across the ground, all the birds, every creature that moves on the earth, left the boat. They left the boat in groups of their own species.
20 Tedy vzdělal Noé oltář Hospodinu, a vzav ze všech hovad čistých i ze všeho ptactva čistého, obětoval zápaly na tom oltáři.
Then Noah built a (stone altar/place for offering sacrifices) to Yahweh. Then he took some of the animals that Yahweh had said were acceptable as sacrifices and killed them. Then he burned them whole on the altar.
21 I zachutnal Hospodin vůni tu příjemnou, a řekl Hospodin v srdci svém: Nebudu více zlořečiti zemi pro člověka, proto že myšlení srdce lidského zlé jest od mladosti jeho; aniž budu více bíti všeho, což živo jest, jako jsem učinil.
When Yahweh smelled the pleasant odor, he was pleased with the sacrifice. Then he said to himself, “I will never again devastate everything on the earth because of the sinful things people do. Even though everything that people think is evil from the time they are young, I will not destroy all the living creatures again, as I did this time.
22 Nýbrž dokavadž země trvati bude, setí a žeň, studeno i horko, léto a zima, den také a noc nepřestanou.
As long as the earth exists, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.”
