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.
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 were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.
Tudi studenci globin in okna neba so bili ustavljeni in dež z neba je bil zadržan.
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.
Vode so se nenehno vračale iznad zemlje in po koncu sto petdesetih dni so bile vode znižane.
4 And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.
Ladja je obstala v sedmem mesecu, na sedemnajsti dan meseca, na gorah Araráta.
5 And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads 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 And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the 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 And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.
in izpustil krokarja, ki je letal sem ter tja, dokler se vode iznad zemlje niso posušile.
8 And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.
Od sebe je izpustil tudi golobico, da vidi, če so se vode znižale iznad obličja tal,
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.
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 having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.
Okleval pa je še drugih sedem dni in golobico ponovno izpustil iz ladje.
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.
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 having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.
Okleval je še drugih sedem dni in izpustil golobico, ki se ni več ponovno vrnila k njemu.
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.
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 in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.
V drugem mesecu, na sedemindvajseti dan meseca, je bila zemlja suha.
15 And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,
Bog je spregovoril Noetu, rekoč:
16 Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
»Pojdi iz ladje ti in tvoja žena in tvoji sinovi in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.
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.
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 Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.
Noe se je izkrcal in njegovi sinovi in njegova žena in žene njegovih sinov z njim.
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.
Vsaka žival, vsaka plazeča stvar in vsaka perjad in karkoli se plazi na zemlji, po svojih vrstah, so se izkrcali iz ladje.
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.
Noe je zgradil oltar Gospodu in vzel od vsake čiste živali in od vsake čiste perjadi ter na oltarju daroval žgalne daritve.
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.
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 All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.
Dokler ostaja zemlja, čas setve in žetve in mraz in vročina in poletje in zima in dan in noč ne bodo prenehali.«
