Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated.
Nzambe akanisaki Noa mpe banyama nyonso oyo ezalaki elongo na ye kati na masuwa, atindaki mopepe na mokili mpe mayi ekitaki.
2 The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
Bitima ya se mpe maninisa ya likolo ekangamaki mpe mvula etikaki konoka.
3 And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.
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, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
Na mokolo ya zomi na sambo ya sanza ya sambo, masuwa esemaki likolo ya bangomba Ararati.
5 And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
Mayi ezalaki kokoba kokita kino na sanza ya zomi. Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza yango, basonge ya bangomba emonanaki.
6 And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:
Sima na mikolo tuku minei, Noa afungolaki lininisa ya masuwa oyo asalaki
7 Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.
mpe abimisaki yanganga. Yanganga yango ezalaki kokende mpe kozonga kino tango mayi ekawukaki na mokili.
8 He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
Mpe lisusu, Noa abimisaki ebenga mpo na kotala soki mayi ekawuki na mokili.
9 But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her 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 having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Azelaki mikolo sambo mpe abimisaki lisusu ebenga libanda ya masuwa.
11 And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon 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 stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.
Azelaki lisusu mikolo sambo mosusu, mpe abimisaki ebenga. Kasi ebenga ezongaki lisusu te.
13 Therefore in the six hundredth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth 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 In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.
Na mokolo ya tuku mibale na sambo ya sanza ya mibale, mabele ekawukaki penza.
15 And God spoke to Noe, saying:
Boye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa:
16 Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
« Bima na masuwa elongo na mwasi na yo, mpe bana na yo ya mibali elongo na basi na bango.
17 All living things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increase and multiply upon it.
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 So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
Boye, Noa abimaki libanda elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, mwasi na ye mpe basi ya bana na ye.
19 And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to 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 Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon 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 the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man’s heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul 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 All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, 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. »
