< 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.
Pea naʻe manatu ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ʻi he vaka mo ia: pea naʻe pule ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻalu atu ʻae matangi ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea naʻe matuku ai ʻae ngaahi vai;
2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
Naʻe tāpuni foki ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe moana mo e ngaahi matavai ʻoe langi, pea naʻe taʻofi ʻae ʻuha mei he langi;
3 And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
Pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei māmani: pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻae ʻaho ʻe teau ma nimangofulu kuo siʻi ʻae ngaahi vai.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
Pea naʻe toka ʻae vaka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻAlalate, ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe māhina.
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.
Pea naʻe fakasiʻisiʻi maʻuaipē ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ʻoe [māhina]: naʻe ha hake ʻae tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga ʻi hono hongofulu māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻoe māhina.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
Pea ʻi he hili ange ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, naʻe toʻo ʻe Noa ʻae matapā ʻoe vaka ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi:
7 And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
Pea naʻa ne tukuange ha leveni, ʻaia naʻe feʻaluʻaki, kaeʻoua ke matuʻu ʻae ngaahi vai mei he funga ʻo māmani.
8 And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
Naʻa ne tukuange foki ha lupe meiate ia, ke vakai pe kuo matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei he funga ʻoe kelekele;
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.
Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he lupe ha tuʻuʻanga ki hono ʻaofi vaʻe, pea naʻe foki ia kiate ia ki he vaka, he naʻe ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa ʻae ngaahi vai: pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima, ʻo toʻo pea ʻomi ia kiate ia ki he vaka.
10 And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Pea naʻe toe tatali ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea ne toe tukuange ʻae lupe mei he vaka;
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.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae lupe kiate ia ʻi he efiafi; pea vakai, kuo ʻi hono ngutu ʻae lauʻi ʻolive kuo ne pakiʻi: pea toki ʻilo ai ʻe Noa kuo matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei he māmani.
12 And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
Pea toe tatali ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea tuku atu ai ʻae lupe; pea naʻe ʻikai toe foki mai ia kiate ia.
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.
Pea ʻi he hoko ki hono onongeau ma taha taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki [māhina], ʻi he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻoe māhina, naʻe matuʻu ai ʻae ngaahi vai mei he fonua; pea naʻe hiki ʻe Noa ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻoe vaka, ʻo sio, pea vakai, kuo mōmoa ʻae funga ʻoe kelekele.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Pea naʻe mōmoa ʻae fonua ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono uofulu ma fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina.
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, ʻo pehē,
16 Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
“ʻAlu atu mei he vaka, ʻa koe, mo ho uaifi, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo ho ngaahi foha mo koe.
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.
Omi mo koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu, pea mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he fonua; koeʻuhi kenau fanafanau ʻo lahi ʻi he fonua pea tupu, pea fakatokolahi ʻi māmani.”
18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Noa, mo hono ngaahi foha, mo hono uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo hono ngaahi foha mo ia:
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.
Naʻe ʻalu atu mei he vaka, ʻi honau faʻahinga, ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he fonua.
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.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Noa ha ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova; pea naʻa ne toʻo mei he fanga manu maʻa kotoa pē, pea mei he fanga manupuna naʻe maʻa, pea ʻohake ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau.
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.
Pea naʻe nanamu ʻa Sihova ki hono ngangatu lelei, pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ʻi hono finangalo, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko e tangata; he ʻoku kovi ʻae ngaōʻi ʻoe loto ʻoe tangata mei heʻene kei siʻi; pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe taaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fai.
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.
Lolotonga ʻae tuʻu ʻa māmani, ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻae tō taʻu mo e ututaʻu, mo e momoko mo e pupuha, mo e faʻahitaʻu mafana mo e faʻahitaʻu momoko, mo e ʻaho mo e pō.”
