Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
Da ihukom Gud Noa og alle de vilde Dyr og Kvæget, som var hos ham i Arken; og Gud lod en Storm fare hen over Jorden, så at Vandet begyndte at falde;
2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
Verdensdybets Kilder og Himmelens Sluser lukkedes, Regnen fra Himmelen standsede,
3 And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
og Vandet veg lidt efter lidt bort fra Jorden, og Vandet tog af efter de 150 Dages Forløb.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
På den syttende Dag i den syvende Måned sad Arken fast på Ararats Bjerge,
5 And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
og Vandet vedblev at synke indtil den tiende Måned, og på den første Dag i denne Måned dukkede Bjergenes Toppe frem.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
Da der var gået fyrretyve Dage: åbnede Noa den Luge, han havde lavet på Arken,
7 And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
og sendte en Ravn ud; den fløj frem og tilbage, indtil Vandet var tørret bort fra Jorden.
8 And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
Da sendte han en Due ud for at se, om Vandet var sunket fra Jordens Overflade;
9 But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
men Duen fandt intet Sted at sætte sin Fod og vendte tilbage til ham i Arken, fordi der endnu var Vand over hele Jorden; og han rakte Hånden ud og tog den ind i Arken til sig.
10 And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Derpå biede han yderligere syv Dage og sendte så atter Duen ud fra Arken;
11 And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.
ved Aftenstid kom Duen tilbage til ham, og se, den havde et friskt Olieblad i Næbbet. Da skønnede Noa, at Vandet var svundet bort fra Jorden.
12 And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
Derpå biede han syv Dage til, og da han så sendte Duen ud, kom den ikke mere tilbage til ham.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.
I Noas 601ste Leveår på den første Dag i den første Måned var Vandet tørret bort fra Jorden. Da tog Noa Dækket af Arken, og da han så sig om, se, da var Jordens Overflade tør.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
På den syv og tyvende Dag i den anden Måned var Jorden tør.
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Da sagde Gud til Noa:
16 Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
"Gå ud af Arken med din Hustru, dine Sønner og dine Sønnekoner
17 Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.
og for alle Dyr, der er hos dig, alt Kød, Fugle, Kvæg og alt Kryb, der kryber på Jorden, ud med dig, at de kan vrimle på Jorden og blive frugtbare og mangfoldige på Jorden!"
18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
Da gik Noa ud med sine Sønner, sin Hustru og sine Sønnekoner;
19 All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl — everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.
og alle de vildtlevende Dyr, alt Kvæget, alle Fuglene og alt Krybet, der kryber på Jorden, efter deres Slægter, gik ud af Arken.
20 And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.
Derpå byggede Noa HERREN et Alter og tog nogle af alle de rene Dyr og Fugle og ofrede Brændofre på Alteret.
21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.
Og da HERREN indåndede den liflige Duft, sagde han til sig selv: "Jeg vil aldrig mere forbande Jorden for Menneskenes Skyld, thi Menneskehjertets Higen er ond fra Ungdommen af, og jeg vil aldrig mere tilintetgøre alt, hvad der lever, således som jeg nu har gjort!
22 Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
Herefter skal, så længe Jorden står, Sæd og Høst, Kulde og Hede, Sommer og Vinter, Dag og Nat ikke ophøre!"
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
