Genesis 8
1 And God kept Noah in mind, and all the living things and the cattle which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters went down.
Bog se je spomnil Noeta in vsake žive stvari in vse živine, ki je bila z njim v ladji in Bog je naredil veter, da je šel prek zemlje in vode so se znižale.
2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were shut, and the rain from heaven was stopped.
Tudi studenci globin in okna neba so bili ustavljeni in dež z neba je bil zadržan.
3 And the waters went slowly back from the earth, and at the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters were lower.
Vode so se nenehno vračale iznad zemlje in po koncu sto petdesetih dni so bile vode znižane.
4 And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
Ladja je obstala v sedmem mesecu, na sedemnajsti dan meseca, na gorah Araráta.
5 And still the waters went on falling, till on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen.
In vode so nenehno upadale do desetega meseca. V desetem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, so bili vidni vrhovi gora.
6 Then, after forty days, through the open window of the ark which he had made,
Ob koncu štiridesetih dni se je pripetilo, da je Noe odprl okno ladje, ki jo je naredil
7 Noah sent out a raven, which went this way and that till the waters were gone from the earth.
in izpustil krokarja, ki je letal sem ter tja, dokler se vode iznad zemlje niso posušile.
8 And he sent out a dove, to see if the waters had gone from the face of the earth;
Od sebe je izpustil tudi golobico, da vidi, če so se vode znižale iznad obličja tal,
9 But the dove saw no resting-place for her foot, and came back to the ark, for the waters were still over all the earth; and he put out his hand, and took her into the ark.
toda golobica ni našla počitka za podnožje svojega stopala in se je vrnila k njemu v ladjo, kajti vode so bile na obličju celotne zemlje. Potem je iztegnil svojo roko in jo prijel ter potegnil k sebi v ladjo.
10 And after waiting another seven days, he sent the dove out again;
Okleval pa je še drugih sedem dni in golobico ponovno izpustil iz ladje.
11 And the dove came back at evening, and in her mouth was an olive-leaf broken off: so Noah was certain that the waters had gone down on the earth.
Golobica je zvečer priletela k njemu, in glej, v njenem kljunu je bil odtrgan oljčni list. Tako je Noe spoznal, da so bile vode iznad zemlje znižane.
12 And after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but she did not come back to him.
Okleval je še drugih sedem dni in izpustil golobico, ki se ni več ponovno vrnila k njemu.
13 And in the six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters were dry on the earth: and Noah took the cover off the ark and saw that the face of the earth was dry.
Pripetilo se je v šeststoprvem letu, v prvem mesecu, prvi dan meseca, [da] so se vode iznad zemlje posušile. Noe je odstranil pokrivalo ladje ter pogledal in glej, obličje tal je bilo suho.
14 And on the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.
V drugem mesecu, na sedemindvajseti dan meseca, je bila zemlja suha.
15 And God said to Noah,
Bog je spregovoril Noetu, rekoč:
16 Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.
»Pojdi iz ladje ti in tvoja žena in tvoji sinovi in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.
17 Take out with you every living thing which is with you, birds and cattle and everything which goes on the earth, so that they may have offspring and be fertile and be increased on the earth.
S seboj privedi vsako živo stvar, ki je s teboj od vsega mesa, tako od perjadi kakor od živine in od vsake plazeče stvari, ki se plazi na zemlji, da se bodo na zemlji lahko obilno plodili in bodo rodovitni in se množili na zemlji.«
18 And Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives;
Noe se je izkrcal in njegovi sinovi in njegova žena in žene njegovih sinov z njim.
19 And every beast and bird and every living thing of every sort which goes on the earth, went out of the ark.
Vsaka žival, vsaka plazeča stvar in vsaka perjad in karkoli se plazi na zemlji, po svojih vrstah, so se izkrcali iz ladje.
20 And Noah made an altar to the Lord, and from every clean beast and bird he made burned offerings on the altar.
Noe je zgradil oltar Gospodu in vzel od vsake čiste živali in od vsake čiste perjadi ter na oltarju daroval žgalne daritve.
21 And when the sweet smell came up to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will not again put a curse on the earth because of man, for the thoughts of man's heart are evil from his earliest days; never again will I send destruction on all living things as I have done.
Gospod je zavohal prijeten vonj in Gospod je v svojem srcu rekel: »Zaradi človeka tal ne bom več ponovno preklel, kajti zamisel človekovega srca je zla od njegove mladosti niti ne bom več ponovno udaril vsake žive stvari, kakor sem storil.
22 While the earth goes on, seed time and the getting in of the grain, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will not come to an end.
Dokler ostaja zemlja, čas setve in žetve in mraz in vročina in poletje in zima in dan in noč ne bodo prenehali.«
