1 To Nyasaye noparo Nowa gi le mag bungu kod jamni mane ni kode ei yie, kendo notugo yamo mokudho e piny mi pi nochako dwono.
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 Koro sokni manie bwo lowo kod dirise mag ataro moa e polo nolor, kendo koth moa e polo nochok.
And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
3 Pi noduono e piny mos mos. Bangʼ ndalo mia achiel gi piero abich pi noduono,
And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
4 kendo odiechiengʼ mar apar gabiriyo mar dwe mar abiriyo yie nobiro mochungʼ ewi gode mag Ararat.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 Pi nomedo dwono nyaka dwe mar apar, to chiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar aparno wi gode nochako neno.
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 Bangʼ ndalo piero angʼwen Nowa noyawo dirisa mane oloso ei yie,
And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 kendo nooro agak kendo nosiko kohuyo koni gi koni nyaka pi notwo e piny.
And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
8 Eka nooro akuru mondo ofweny ka pi osedok chien e piny.
And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
9 To akuru ne ok nyal yudo kama opiyoe nikech pi ne pod okwako piny duto; omiyo noduogo ir Nowa ei yie. Nowa notero lwete oko kendo ogame mine odwoge ire ei yie.
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 Norito bangʼ ndalo abiriyo moko kendo nooro akuru koa ei yie.
And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 Kane akuru odwogo ire godhiambo, notingʼo it yiend zeituni mangʼich mopon e dhoge. Mano nomiyo Nowa ongʼeyo ni koro pi oseduono e piny.
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 Norito ndalo abiriyo moko kendo nochako ooro akuruno, to ne ok odwogo ire kendo.
And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
13 Chiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mokwongo ka Nowa ne ja-higni mia auchiel gachiel, pi noduono e piny. Eka Nowa noelo wi yie kendo noneno ni piny osetwo.
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 Kane ochopo tarik piero ariyo gabiriyo ema ne piny otuoe.
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Eka Nyasaye nowacho ne Nowa niya,
And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Wuog oko ei yie, in kaachiel gi chiegi, kod yawuoti kod mond yawuoti.
Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Gol oko kit gik mangima duto man kodi kaka winy, le kod gik moko duto mamol e lowo mondo ginywolre e piny kendo ginyaa kendo kwan-gi omedre e piny.”
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 Omiyo Nowa nowuok oko, kaachiel gi yawuote kod chiege kod mond yawuote.
And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Le duto kod gik moko duto mamol e lowo kod winy duto; gimoro amora mawuotho e piny, nowuok ei yie moro ka moro kaka kitgi obet.
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 Eka Nowa nogero kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo nokawo le maler kod winy maler moko michamo, motimogo misango miwangʼo pep ewi kendono.
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 Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo suya madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar kendo nowacho e chunye niya, “Ok anachak akwongʼ piny kendo nikech dhano, kata obedo ni paro ma aye chunye opongʼ gi richo nyaka aa e tin-ne. Bende ok anachak atiek gik mangima kendo kaka asetimoni.
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 “Chwoyo gi keyo, ngʼich kod liet, oro kod chwiri, odiechiengʼ kod otieno ok nobed maonge nyaka giko piny.”
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.
