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 every living thing, and all the cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
2 Koro sokni manie bwo lowo kod dirise mag ataro moa e polo nolor, kendo koth moa e polo nochok.
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 Pi noduono e piny mos mos. Bangʼ ndalo mia achiel gi piero abich pi noduono,
And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were 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, upon 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 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 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 forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Eka nooro akuru mondo ofweny ka pi osedok chien e piny.
Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of 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 rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10 Norito bangʼ ndalo abiriyo moko kendo nooro akuru koa ei yie.
And he stayed 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 in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth [was] an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Norito ndalo abiriyo moko kendo nochako ooro akuruno, to ne ok odwogo ire kendo.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
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 hundredth and first year, in the first [month], the first [day] of the month, 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 Kane ochopo tarik piero ariyo gabiriyo ema ne piny otuoe.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 Eka Nyasaye nowacho ne Nowa niya,
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 “Wuog oko ei yie, in kaachiel gi chiegi, kod yawuoti kod mond yawuoti.
Go forth 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 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; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 Omiyo Nowa nowuok oko, kaachiel gi yawuote kod chiege kod mond yawuote.
And Noah went forth, 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.
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth 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 builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered 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 the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for 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 “Chwoyo gi keyo, ngʼich kod liet, oro kod chwiri, odiechiengʼ kod otieno ok nobed maonge nyaka giko piny.”
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
