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.
परमेश्वरले नोआ, तिनीसित जहाजमा भएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू र सबै पालिने पशुहरूलाई सम्झनुभयो । परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीमा बतास चलाइदिनुभयो, र पानी घट्न थाल्यो ।
2 The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
अगाधका मूलहरू र स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू बन्द गरिए, अनि पानी पर्न रोकियो ।
3 And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.
जलप्रलयको पानी पृथ्वीमा बिस्तारै घट्यो, र एक सय पचास दिनपछि पानी निकै घट्यो ।
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
सातौँ महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा जहाज आरारातका पर्वतहरूमा अडियो ।
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.
दसौँ महिनासम्म पानी निरन्तर घटिरह्यो । त्यही महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा पर्वतहरूका टाकुराहरू देखा परे ।
6 And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:
चालिस दिनपछि नोआले आफूले बनाएको जहाजको झ्याल खोले ।
7 Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.
तिनले एउटा कागलाई उडाइदिए र जमिनको पानी नसुकुञ्जेलसम्म त्यो यताउता उडिरह्यो ।
8 He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
त्यसपछि जमिनको सतहबाट पानी घटेको छ कि छैन भनेर हेर्न तिनले एउटा ढुकुरलाई पठाए ।
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.
तर ढुकुरले आफ्नो खुट्टा राख्ने ठाउँ कतै पाएन, र त्यो जहाजमा नै तिनीकहाँ फर्क्यो किनकि पानीले अझै पनि पुरै जमिनलाई ढाकिरहेको थियो । तिनले आफ्नो हात पसारेर त्यसलाई समाती जहाजभित्र ल्याए ।
10 And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि जहाजबाट त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए ।
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.
साँझमा त्यो ढुकुर तिनीकहाँ फर्क्यो । हेर! त्यसको चुच्चोमा भर्खरै टिपिएको ताजा भद्राक्षको पात थियो । त्यसैले, पानी जमिनबाट घटेछ भनी नोआले थाहा पाए ।
12 And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.
अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए । त्यो फेरि फर्केर तिनीकहाँ आएन ।
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.
नोआको छ सय एक वर्षको पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा जमिनबाट पानी सुक्यो । नोआले जहाजको छत खोलेर बाहिर हेरे र तिनको सुक्खा भूमि देखे ।
14 In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.
दोस्रो महिनाको सत्ताइसौँ दिनमा जमिन सुक्खा भयो ।
15 And God spoke to Noe, saying:
परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो,
16 Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
“तँ, तेरी पत्नी, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा बुहारीहरू जहाजबाट निस्केर आओ ।
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.
तँसित भएका सबै जीवित प्राणीहरू अर्थात् पक्षीहरू, पशुहरू, पृथ्वीको सतहमा हरेक घस्रने प्राणीलाई तँसँगै बाहिर लिएर आइज ताकि तिनीहरू पृथ्वीमा पशस्त मात्रामा फल्दै-फुल्दै, वृद्धि हुँदै र भरिँदै जाऊन् ।”
18 So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
त्यसैले नोआ आफ्ना छोराहरू, आफ्नी पत्नी र आफ्ना बुहारीहरूसँगै बाहिर निस्के ।
19 And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds, went out of the ark.
हरेक जीवित प्राणी, हरेक घस्रने जन्तु, हरेक पक्षी र पृथ्वीमा चलहल गर्ने हरेक प्राणी तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना जात-जातअनुसार जहाजबाट बाहिर निस्के ।
20 And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.
नोआले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए । तिनले शुद्ध पशुहरू र शुद्ध पक्षीहरूमध्ये केहीलाई लिई वेदीमा होमबलि चढाए ।
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.
परमप्रभुले यसको सुगन्ध लिनुभएपछि आफ्नो मनमा भन्नुभयो, “मानव-जातिको ह्रदयको मनसाय बाल्यावस्थादेखि नै दुष्ट हुने भए तापनि म उसको कारणले गर्दा फेरि भूमिलाई श्राप दिनेछैनँ, न त मैले अहिले गरेजस्तै फेरि हरेक जीवित प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछु ।
22 All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.
पृथ्वी रहुञ्जेलसम्म बिउ छर्ने र कटनी गर्ने समय, जाडो र गर्मी, ग्रीष्म र हिउँद अनि दिन र रातको अन्त्य हुनेछैन ।
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
