< Genesis 8 >

1 But God hadn't forgotten about Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the ark. God sent a wind to blow over the earth, and the floodwaters started to drop.
Ọlọ́run sì rántí Noa àti ohun alààyè gbogbo tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, bí àwọn ẹranko igbó àti ohun ọ̀sìn, ó sì mú kí afẹ́fẹ́ fẹ́ sórí ilẹ̀, omi náà sì fà.
2 The subterranean waters were closed off, and the heavy rainfall was stopped.
Gbogbo ìsun ibú àti fèrèsé ìṣàn ọ̀run tì, òjò pẹ̀lú sì dáwọ́ rírọ̀ dúró.
3 The floodwaters steadily receded from the earth. They had gone down so much that by 150 days after the flood began
Omi sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, lẹ́yìn àádọ́jọ ọjọ́, ó sì ti ń fà.
4 the ark grounded on the mountains of Ararat. This happened on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlógún oṣù kejì ni ọkọ̀ náà gúnlẹ̀ sórí òkè Ararati.
5 The waters continued to drop so that by the first day of the tenth month the tops of mountains could be seen.
Omi náà sì ń gbẹ si títí di oṣù kẹwàá. Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kẹwàá, orí àwọn òkè sì farahàn.
6 Forty days later Noah opened the window he'd made in the ark,
Lẹ́yìn ogójì ọjọ́, Noa sí fèrèsé tí ó ṣe sára ọkọ̀.
7 and sent a raven out. It flew back and forth until the water on the earth had dried up.
Ó sì rán ẹyẹ ìwò kan jáde, tí ó ń fò káàkiri síwá àti sẹ́yìn títí omi fi gbẹ kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀.
8 Then he sent a dove out to see if the waters had gone down enough to expose dry ground.
Ó sì rán àdàbà kan jáde láti wò ó bóyá omi ti gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
9 But the dove couldn't find anywhere to land. So it came back to Noah in the ark because water was still covering the whole earth. He reached out his hand, picked up the dove, and took it back into the ark with him.
Ṣùgbọ́n àdàbà náà kò rí ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ bà lé nítorí omi kò tí ì tan lórí ilẹ̀, ó sì padà sọ́dọ̀ Noa. Noa na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde ó sì mú ẹyẹ náà wọlé sọ́dọ̀ ara rẹ̀ nínú ọkọ̀.
10 He waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again.
Ó sì dúró fún ọjọ́ méje sí i; ó sì tún rán àdàbà náà jáde láti inú ọkọ̀.
11 When it came back to him in the evening it had a freshly-picked olive leaf in its beak, so Noah knew the floodwaters were mainly gone from the earth.
Nígbà tí àdàbà náà padà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní àṣálẹ́, ó já ewé igi olifi tútù há ẹnu! Nígbà náà ni Noa mọ̀ pé omi ti ń gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
12 Again he waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, but this time it didn't return to him.
Noa tún mú sùúrù fún ọjọ́ méje, ó sì tún rán àdàbà náà jáde, ṣùgbọ́n àdàbà náà kò padà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́.
13 By now Noah was 601, and by the first day of the first month, the floodwaters on the earth were gone. Noah pulled back the ark's covering and saw that the ground was drying out.
Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní, ní ọdún kọ́kànlélẹ́gbẹ̀ta ni omi náà gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀; Noa sì ṣí ọkọ̀, ó sì ri pé ilẹ̀ ti gbẹ.
14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlọ́gbọ̀n oṣù kejì, ilẹ̀ ti gbẹ pátápátá.
15 Then God told Noah,
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún Noa pé.
16 “Leave the ark, you and your wife, your sons and their wives.
“Jáde kúrò nínú ọkọ̀, ìwọ àti aya rẹ, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti àwọn aya wọn.
17 Let all the animals go—the birds, the wild animals, the creatures that run along the ground—so that they can breed and increase their numbers on the earth.”
Kó gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ jáde: àwọn ẹyẹ, ẹranko àti gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀dá tí ń rìn nílẹ̀, kí wọn lè bí sí i, kí wọn sì pọ̀ sí i, kí wọn sì máa gbá yìn lórí ilẹ̀.”
18 So Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives, left the ark.
Noa, àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, aya rẹ̀ àti àwọn aya ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jáde.
19 All the animals, all the creatures that run along the ground, all the birds—everything that lives on land—also left, each kind leaving together.
Gbogbo àwọn ẹranko àti àwọn ẹ̀dá tí ń rìn nílẹ̀ àti gbogbo ẹyẹ pátápátá ni ó jáde kúrò nínú ọkọ̀, ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́ ní irú tiwọn.
20 Noah built an altar, and sacrificed some of the clean animals and birds as a burnt offering.
Noa sì mọ pẹpẹ fún Olúwa, ó sì mú lára àwọn ẹran tí ó mọ́ àti ẹyẹ tí ó mọ́, ó sì fi rú ẹbọ sísun lórí pẹpẹ.
21 The Lord accepted the sacrifice, and said to himself, “I won't ever again curse the ground because of human beings, even though every single thought in their minds is evil from childhood. I won't ever destroy all life again as I have just done.
Olúwa sì gbọ́ òórùn dídùn; ó sì wí ní ọkàn rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi kì yóò tún fi ilẹ̀ ré nítorí ènìyàn mọ, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé gbogbo èrò inú rẹ̀ jẹ́ ibi láti ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ wá, èmi kì yóò pa gbogbo ohun alààyè run mọ́ láé, bí mo ti ṣe.
22 As long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never come to an end.”
“Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ayé bá sì wà, ìgbà ọ̀gbìn àti ìgbà ìkórè ìgbà òtútù àti ìgbà ooru, ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn àti ìgbà òjò, ìgbà ọ̀sán àti ìgbà òru, yóò wà títí láé.”
