Chakruok 8
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.
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 Koro sokni manie bwo lowo kod dirise mag ataro moa e polo nolor, kendo koth moa e polo nochok.
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 Pi noduono e piny mos mos. Bangʼ ndalo mia achiel gi piero abich pi noduono,
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 kendo odiechiengʼ mar apar gabiriyo mar dwe mar abiriyo yie nobiro mochungʼ ewi gode mag 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 Pi nomedo dwono nyaka dwe mar apar, to chiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar aparno wi gode nochako neno.
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 Bangʼ ndalo piero angʼwen Nowa noyawo dirisa mane oloso ei yie,
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 kendo nooro agak kendo nosiko kohuyo koni gi koni nyaka pi notwo e piny.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 Eka nooro akuru mondo ofweny ka pi osedok chien e piny.
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded 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 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 Norito bangʼ ndalo abiriyo moko kendo nooro akuru koa ei yie.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
11 Kane akuru odwogo ire godhiambo, notingʼo it yiend zeituni mangʼich mopon e dhoge. Mano nomiyo Nowa ongʼeyo ni koro pi oseduono e piny.
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 Norito ndalo abiriyo moko kendo nochako ooro akuruno, to ne ok odwogo ire kendo.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return 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.
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 Kane ochopo tarik piero ariyo gabiriyo ema ne piny otuoe.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 Eka Nyasaye nowacho ne Nowa niya,
Then God said to Noah,
16 “Wuog oko ei yie, in kaachiel gi chiegi, kod yawuoti kod mond yawuoti.
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
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 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 Omiyo Nowa nowuok oko, kaachiel gi yawuote kod chiege kod mond yawuote.
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
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.
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 Eka Nowa nogero kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo nokawo le maler kod winy maler moko michamo, motimogo misango miwangʼo pep ewi kendono.
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 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.
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 “Chwoyo gi keyo, ngʼich kod liet, oro kod chwiri, odiechiengʼ kod otieno ok nobed maonge nyaka giko piny.”
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.”
