< Genesis 8 >

1 Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.
Katonda n’ajjukira Nuuwa n’ensolo zonna ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko ezaali naye mu lyato, n’asindika empewo ku nsi, amazzi ne gakendeera;
2 The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained,
ensulo eza wansi w’ensi n’ebituli eby’eggulu ne biggalibwa, n’enkuba eva mu ggulu n’eziyizibwa,
3 And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.
n’amazzi ne geeyongera okukendeera ku nsi. Ku nkomerero y’ennaku kikumi mu ataano amazzi gaali gakalidde;
4 And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat.
ne mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, ku lunaku lwagwo olw’ekkumi n’omusanvu, eryato ne litereera ku nsozi eza Alalaati.
5 And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene.
Bwe gatyo amazzi ne geeyongera okukalira okutuusa mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi, ku lunaku olusooka olw’omwezi ogwo entikko z’ensozi ne zirabika.
6 So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made,
Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku amakumi ana Nuuwa n’aggula eddirisa lye yakola ku lyato
7 And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth.
n’atuma namuŋŋoona n’agenda nga bw’akomawo okutuusa amazzi lwe gaakalira.
8 Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth.
Oluvannyuma n’atuma ejjuba ne liva w’ali okulaba ng’amazzi gakalidde ku nsi;
9 But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke.
naye ejjuba ne litalaba we lissa kigere kyalyo, ne likomawo gy’ali mu lyato, kubanga amazzi gaali gakyali ku nsi yonna. N’agolola omukono gwe n’alikwata n’aliyingiza mu lyato.
10 And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke.
N’alinda ennaku endala musanvu n’atuma ate ejjuba okuva mu lyato;
11 And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth.
ne likomawo akawungeezi, era laba, nga lirina mu kamwa kaalyo akakoola akabisi ke liggye ku muti omuzeyituuni. Awo Nuuwa n’ategeera nti amazzi gakendedde ku nsi.
12 Notwithstanding he wayted yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.
Ate n’alinda ennaku endala musanvu, n’asindika ejjuba, naye ku mulundi guno teryadda.
13 And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere, in the first day of the first moneth the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie.
Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye, olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye nga Nuuwa aweza emyaka lukaaga mu gumu, amazzi gaali gakalidde ku nsi. Awo Nuuwa n’aggyako ekibikka ku lyato n’alaba ng’ensi ekalidde.
14 And in the second moneth, in the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drie.
Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu olw’omwezi ogwokubiri ensi yali ekalidde.
15 Then God spake to Noah, saying,
Awo Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa nti,
16 Goe forth of the Arke, thou and thy wife, and thy sonnes and thy sonnes wiues with thee.
“Vva mu lyato, ggwe, ne mukazi wo, ne batabani bo ne bakazi baabwe.
17 Bring forth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all flesh, both foule and cattell, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, that they may breede abundantly in ye earth, and bring forth fruite and increase vpon ye earth.
Fulumya buli kiramu ekiri naawe: ebinyonyi, n’ensolo, na buli kiramu ekitambula ku ttaka, biryoke bizaale byale ku nsi, byeyongerenga obungi.”
18 So Noah came forth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him.
Awo Nuuwa n’afuluma ne batabani be, ne mukazi we wamu ne bakazi ba batabani be.
19 Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery foule, all that moueth vpon the earth after their kindes went out of the Arke.
N’ensolo n’ebitonde byonna ebitambula ku ttaka, n’ebinyonyi byonna, byonna ne biva mu lyato bibiri bibiri mu bibinja.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, and offered burnt offerings vpon the altar.
Awo Nuuwa n’azimbira Mukama ekyoto, n’addira ku zimu ku nsolo ennongoofu ne ku binyonyi ebirongoofu n’awaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku kyoto.
21 And the Lord smellled a sauour of rest, and the Lord said in his heart, I will hencefoorth curse the ground no more for mans cause: for the imagination of mans heart is euill, euen from his youth: neither will I smite any more all things liuing, as I haue done.
Mukama n’awulira akawoowo akalungi akamusanyusa, n’ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Sikyaddayo kukolimira nsi olw’omuntu, newaakubadde ng’endowooza y’omutima gwe mbi okuva mu buto bwe. Sikyaddayo na kuzikiriza bitonde byonna ebiramu, nga bwe nkoze.
22 Hereafter seede time and haruest, and colde and heate, and sommer and winter, and day and night shall not cease, so long as ye earth remaineth.
“Ensi ng’ekyaliwo, okusiga n’amakungula, obunnyogovu n’ebbugumu, ebiseera eby’omusana n’eby’obutiti, emisana n’ekiro, tebiggwengawo.”
