Genesis 8

1 But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

A Bog se opomenu Noja i svijeh zvijeri i sve stoke što bjehu s njim u kovèegu; i posla Bog vjetar na zemlju da uzbije vodu.

2 The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

I zatvoriše se izvori bezdanu i ustave nebeske, i dažd s neba prestade.

3 The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

I stade voda opadati na zemlji, i jednako opadaše poslije sto i pedeset dana;

4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Te se ustavi kovèeg sedmoga mjeseca dana sedamnaestoga na planini Araratu.

5 And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

I voda opadaše sve veæma do desetoga mjeseca; i prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca pokazaše se vrhovi od brda.

6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

A poslije èetrdeset dana otvori Noje prozor na kovèegu, koji bješe naèinio;

7 and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

I ispusti gavrana, koji jednako odlijetaše i dolijetaše dokle ne presahnu voda na zemlji.

8 Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

Pa pusti i golubicu da bi vidio je li opala voda sa zemlje.

9 But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.

A golubica ne našavši gdje bi stala nogom svojom vrati se k njemu u kovèeg, jer još bješe voda po svoj zemlji; i Noje pruživši ruku uhvati je i uze k sebi u kovèeg.

10 Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

I poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu iz kovèega.

11 And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

I pred veèe vrati se k njemu golubica, i gle, u kljunu joj list maslinov, koji bješe otkinula; tako pozna Noje da je opala voda sa zemlje.

12 And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

Ali poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu, a ona mu se više ne vrati.

13 In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

Šest stotina prve godine vijeka Nojeva prvi dan prvoga mjeseca usahnu voda na zemlji; i Noje otkri krov na kovèegu, i ugleda zemlju suhu.

14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

A drugoga mjeseca dvadeset sedmoga dana bješe sva zemlja suha.

15 Then God said to Noah,

Tada reèe Bog Noju govoreæi:

16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

Izidi iz kovèega ti i žena tvoja i sinovi tvoji i žene sinova tvojih s tobom;

17 Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

Sve zvijeri što su s tobom od svakoga tijela, ptice i stoku i što god gamiže po zemlji, izvedi sa sobom, neka se raziðu po zemlji, i neka se plode i množe na zemlji.

18 So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

I izide Noje i sinovi njegovi i žena njegova i žene sinova njegovijeh s njim.

19 Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

Sve zvijeri, sve sitne životinje, sve ptice i sve što se mièe po zemlji po svojim vrstama izidoše iz kovèega.

20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

I naèini Noje žrtvenik Gospodu, i uze od svake èiste stoke i od svijeh ptica èistijeh, i prinese na žrtveniku žrtve paljenice.

21 When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

I Gospod omirisa miris ugodni, i reèe u srcu svojem: neæu više kleti zemlje s ljudi, što je misao srca èovjeèijega zla od malena; niti æu više ubijati svega što živi, kao što uèinih.

22 As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”

Otsele dokle bude zemlje, neæe nestajati sjetve ni žetve, studeni ni vruæine, ljeta ni zime, dana ni noæi.
