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.
Nzambe akanisaki Noa mpe banyama nyonso oyo ezalaki elongo na ye kati na masuwa, atindaki mopepe na mokili mpe mayi ekitaki.
2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
Bitima ya se mpe maninisa ya likolo ekangamaki mpe mvula etikaki konoka.
3 And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
Mayi ekomaki kolongwa moke-moke likolo ya mabele, mpe sima na mikolo nkama moko na tuku mitano, mayi ekitaki.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
Na mokolo ya zomi na sambo ya sanza ya sambo, masuwa esemaki likolo ya bangomba Ararati.
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.
Mayi ezalaki kokoba kokita kino na sanza ya zomi. Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza yango, basonge ya bangomba emonanaki.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
Sima na mikolo tuku minei, Noa afungolaki lininisa ya masuwa oyo asalaki
7 And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
mpe abimisaki yanganga. Yanganga yango ezalaki kokende mpe kozonga kino tango mayi ekawukaki na mokili.
8 And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
Mpe lisusu, Noa abimisaki ebenga mpo na kotala soki mayi ekawuki na mokili.
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.
Kasi ebenga ezwaki esika ya kotia matambe na yango te, pamba te mayi ezalaki na etando nyonso ya mokili. Boye, ezongaki na masuwa epai ya Noa. Noa abimisaki loboko, azwaki ebenga mpe akotisaki yango kati na masuwa.
10 And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Azelaki mikolo sambo mpe abimisaki lisusu ebenga libanda ya masuwa.
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.
Tango ebenga ezongaki epai na ye na pokwa, ememaki lokasa ya olive ya mobesu na monoko na yango. Boye, Noa asosolaki ete mayi ekiti na mokili.
12 And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
Azelaki lisusu mikolo sambo mosusu, mpe abimisaki ebenga. Kasi ebenga ezongaki lisusu te.
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.
Na mokolo ya liboso na sanza ya liboso, tango Noa akokisaki mibu nkama motoba na moko ya mbotama, mayi ekawukaki na mokili; Noa afungolaki masuwa na likolo na yango mpe amonaki ete mabele ekawuki.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Na mokolo ya tuku mibale na sambo ya sanza ya mibale, mabele ekawukaki penza.
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Boye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa:
16 Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
« Bima na masuwa elongo na mwasi na yo, mpe bana na yo ya mibali elongo na basi na bango.
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.
Bimisa mpe bikelamu oyo ezali elongo na yo: bandeke, banyama mpe bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu, mpo ete ebotana mpe ekoma ebele kati na mokili. »
18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
Boye, Noa abimaki libanda elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, mwasi na ye mpe basi ya bana na ye.
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.
Banyama nyonso, bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bandeke nyonso, bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na mokili, ebimaki na masuwa na molongo kolanda lolenge na yango.
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.
Noa atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe mpe azwaki ndambo ya banyama mpe bandeke ezanga mbindo, abonzelaki yango Yawe lokola mbeka ya kotumba.
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.
Boye, Yawe ayokaki solo kitoko mpe amilobelaki: « Nakolakela lisusu mabele mabe te likolo ya moto, pamba te wuta bomwana ya moto, motema ya moto elukaka kaka makambo mabe; nakoboma lisusu te bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi ndenge nawuti kosala.
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.
Na tango nyonso oyo mokili ekozala, tango ya kolona mpe tango ya kobuka, tango ya malili mpe tango ya molunge, tango ya mvula mpe tango ya elanga, tango ya moyi mpe tango ya butu, ekozanga te. »
