< 1 Mosebog 8 >
1 Da ihukom Gud Noa og alle de vilde Dyr og Kvæget, som var hos ham i Arken; og Gud lod en Storm fare hen over Jorden, saa at Vandet begyndte at falde;
And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which [are] with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,
2 Verdensdybets Kilder og Himmelens Sluser lukkedes, Regnen fra Himmelen standsede,
and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.
3 og Vandet veg lidt efter lidt bort fra Jorden, og Vandet tog af efter de 150 Dages Forløb.
And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
4 Paa den syttende Dag i den syvende Maaned sad Arken fast paa Ararats Bjerge,
And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
5 og Vandet vedblev at synke indtil den tiende Maaned, og paa den første Dag i denne Maaned dukkede Bjergenes Toppe frem.
and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.
6 Da der var gaaet fyrretyve Dage: aabnede Noa den Luge, han havde lavet paa Arken,
And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,
7 og sendte en Ravn ud; den fløj frem og tilbage, indtil Vandet var tørret bort fra Jorden.
and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.
8 Da sendte han en Due ud for at se, om Vandet var sunket fra Jordens Overflade;
And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
9 men Duen fandt intet Sted at sætte sin Fod og vendte tilbage til ham i Arken, fordi der endnu var Vand over hele Jorden; og han rakte Haanden ud og tog den ind i Arken til sig.
and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.
10 Derpaa biede han yderligere syv Dage og sendte saa atter Duen ud fra Arken;
And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;
11 ved Aftenstid kom Duen tilbage til ham, og se, den havde et friskt Olieblad i Næbbet. Da skønnede Noa, at Vandet var svundet bort fra Jorden.
and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.
12 Derpaa biede han syv Dage til, og da han saa sendte Duen ud, kom den ikke mere tilbage til ham.
And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.
13 I Noas 601ste Leveaar paa den første Dag i den første Maaned var Vandet tørret bort fra Jorden. Da tog Noa Dækket af Arken, og da han saa sig om, se, da var Jordens Overflade tør.
And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.
14 Paa den syv og tyvende Dag i den anden Maaned var Jorden tør.
And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.
And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, 'Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;
16 »Gaa ud af Arken med din Hustru, dine Sønner og dine Sønnekoner
every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;
17 og for alle Dyr, der er hos dig, alt Kød, Fugle, Kvæg og alt Kryb, der kryber paa Jorden, ud med dig, at de kan vrimle paa Jorden og blive frugtbare og mangfoldige paa Jorden!«
and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'
18 Da gik Noa ud med sine Sønner, sin Hustru og sine Sønnekoner;
And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;
19 og alle de vildtlevende Dyr, alt Kvæget, alle Fuglene og alt Krybet, der kryber paa Jorden, efter deres Slægter, gik ud af Arken.
every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.
20 Derpaa byggede Noa HERREN et Alter og tog nogle af alle de rene Dyr og Fugle og ofrede Brændofre paa Alteret.
And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;
21 Og da HERREN indaandede den liflige Duft, sagde han til sig selv: »Jeg vil aldrig mere forbande Jorden for Menneskenes Skyld, thi Menneskehjertets Higen er ond fra Ungdommen af, og jeg vil aldrig mere tilintetgøre alt, hvad der lever, saaledes som jeg nu har gjort!
and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, 'I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;
22 Herefter skal, saa længe Jorden staar, Sæd og Høst, Kulde og Hede, Sommer og Vinter, Dag og Nat ikke ophøre!«
during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'
