Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.
No rĩrĩ, Ngai nĩaririkanire Nuhu o hamwe na nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka o na mahiũ marĩa mothe aarĩ namo thĩinĩ wa thabina, na agĩtũma rũhuho rũhurutane gũkũ thĩ, namo maaĩ makĩambĩrĩria kũhũa.
2 And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.
Nacio ithima cia kũrĩa kũriku na ihingo cia mũiyũro wa igũrũ ikĩhingwo, nayo mbura ĩgĩtiga kuura.
3 And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
Namo maaĩ magĩthiĩ makĩhũũaga, magĩthiraga thĩ. Thuutha wa matukũ igana na mĩrongo ĩtano-rĩ, maaĩ magĩkorwo manyihanyiihĩte,
4 And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.
naguo mũthenya wa ikũmi na mũgwanja wa mweri wa mũgwanja, thabina ĩkĩrũgama irĩma-inĩ cia Ararati.
5 And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.
Maaĩ macio magĩthiĩ na mbere na kũhũa o nginya mweri wa ikũmi, na mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa ikũmi-rĩ, tũcũmbĩrĩ twa irĩma tũkĩambĩrĩria kuoneka.
6 And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the window of the ark which he had made.
Na thuutha wa matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, Nuhu akĩhingũra ndirica ĩrĩa aakĩte thabina-inĩ,
7 And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.
na akĩrekereria ihuru na nja, narĩo rĩgĩtũũra rĩũmbũkaga kũndũ na kũndũ o nginya rĩrĩa maaĩ maahũire thĩ.
8 And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.
Ningĩ akĩrekereria ndutura ĩthiĩ ĩkarore kana maaĩ nĩmahũĩte gũkũ thĩ.
9 And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.
No ndutura ĩyo ndĩonire handũ ha kũũmba tondũ thĩ yothe yaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maaĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩgĩcooka thabina-inĩ kũrĩ Nuhu. Nake agĩtambũrũkia guoko akĩmĩoya, akĩmĩtoonyia thabina thĩinĩ kũu we aarĩ.
10 And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.
Ningĩ agĩeterera matukũ mangĩ mũgwanja, na maathira akĩrekereria ndutura rĩngĩ yume nja ya thabina.
11 And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.
Rĩrĩa ndutura ĩyo yamũcookereire hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, yakuuĩte ithangũ rĩa mũtamaiyũ na mũkanye wayo, rĩatuĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo! Nuhu agĩkĩmenya atĩ maaĩ nĩmahũĩte thĩ.
12 And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.
Nuhu agĩeterera matukũ mangĩ mũgwanja, agĩcooka akĩrekereria ndutura ĩyo yume nja rĩngĩ, no hĩndĩ ĩno ndĩigana kũmũcookerera.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa mbere, mweri wa mbere wa mwaka ũrĩa Nuhu akinyirie mĩaka magana matandatũ na ũmwe-rĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩguo maaĩ maahũire biũ gũkũ thĩ. Nake Nuhu akĩeheria kĩrĩa kĩagitĩte thabina, agĩkĩona atĩ thĩ nĩyaniarĩte.
14 And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.
Gũgĩkinya mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja wa mweri wa keerĩ-rĩ, thĩ nĩyaniarĩte biũ.
15 And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,
Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ,
16 Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
“Uma thabina, wee na mũtumia waku, na ariũ aku na atumia ao.
17 And all the wild beasts as many as are with you, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with you: and increase you and multiply upon the earth.
Hingũrĩra mĩthemba yothe ya ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo icio ũrĩ nacio: irĩ nyoni, na nyamũ, na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, nĩgeetha ciongerereke thĩ, na iciarane cingĩhe gũkũ thĩ.”
18 And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nuhu akiuma thabina hamwe na ariũ ake, na mũtumia wake, na atumia a ariũ ake.
19 And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came forth out of the ark.
Nyamũ ciothe na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, na nyoni ciothe, na kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩthiiagĩra gũkũ thĩ, ciothe cikiuma thabina, mũthemba o mũthemba.
20 And Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering upon the altar.
Nake Nuhu agĩakĩra Jehova kĩgongona, na akĩoya nyamũ imwe cia iria ciothe itarĩ thaahu, na nyoni iria itarĩ thaahu, akĩrutĩra Ngai igongona rĩa njino ho.
21 And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh as I have done.
Nake Jehova agĩkenio nĩ mũtararĩko ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ na ngoro yake: “Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaacooka kũruma thĩ rĩngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ, o na gũtuĩka merirĩria ma ngoro yake nĩ mooru kuuma ũnini-inĩ wake. Na ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaacooka kũniina ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ muoyo ta ũguo njĩkĩte.
22 All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.
“Mahinda mothe marĩa thĩ ĩgũtũũra-rĩ, kũrĩkoragwo na hĩndĩ ya kũhaanda na ya magetha, na hĩndĩ ya heho na ya ũrugarĩ, na hĩndĩ ya themithũ na ya gathano, na mũthenya na ũtukũ.”
