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, så at Vandet begyndte at falde;
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 Verdensdybets Kilder og Himmelens Sluser lukkedes, Regnen fra Himmelen standsede,
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 og Vandet veg lidt efter lidt bort fra Jorden, og Vandet tog af efter de 150 Dages Forløb.
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 På den syttende Dag i den syvende Måned sad Arken fast på Ararats Bjerge,
(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 og Vandet vedblev at synke indtil den tiende Måned, og på den første Dag i denne Måned dukkede Bjergenes Toppe frem.
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 Da der var gået fyrretyve Dage: åbnede Noa den Luge, han havde lavet på Arken,
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 og sendte en Ravn ud; den fløj frem og tilbage, indtil Vandet var tørret bort fra Jorden.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 Da sendte han en Due ud for at se, om Vandet var sunket fra Jordens Overflade;
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on 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 Hånden ud og tog den ind i Arken til sig.
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 Derpå biede han yderligere syv Dage og sendte så atter Duen ud fra Arken;
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
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.
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 Derpå biede han syv Dage til, og da han så sendte Duen ud, kom den ikke mere tilbage til ham.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 I Noas 601ste Leveår på den første Dag i den første Måned var Vandet tørret bort fra Jorden. Da tog Noa Dækket af Arken, og da han så sig om, se, da var Jordens Overflade tør.
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 På den syv og tyvende Dag i den anden Måned var Jorden tør.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 Da sagde Gud til Noa:
Then God said to Noah,
16 "Gå ud af Arken med din Hustru, dine Sønner og dine Sønnekoner
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
17 og for alle Dyr, der er hos dig, alt Kød, Fugle, Kvæg og alt Kryb, der kryber på Jorden, ud med dig, at de kan vrimle på Jorden og blive frugtbare og mangfoldige på Jorden!"
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 Da gik Noa ud med sine Sønner, sin Hustru og sine Sønnekoner;
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
19 og alle de vildtlevende Dyr, alt Kvæget, alle Fuglene og alt Krybet, der kryber på Jorden, efter deres Slægter, gik ud af Arken.
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 Derpå byggede Noa HERREN et Alter og tog nogle af alle de rene Dyr og Fugle og ofrede Brændofre på Alteret.
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 Og da HERREN indåndede 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, således som jeg nu har gjort!
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 Herefter skal, så længe Jorden står, Sæd og Høst, Kulde og Hede, Sommer og Vinter, Dag og Nat ikke ophøre!"
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.”
