Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
Bog se je spomnil Noeta in vsake žive stvari in vse živine, ki je bila z njim v ladji in Bog je naredil veter, da je šel prek zemlje in vode so se znižale.
2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
Tudi studenci globin in okna neba so bili ustavljeni in dež z neba je bil zadržan.
3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
Vode so se nenehno vračale iznad zemlje in po koncu sto petdesetih dni so bile vode znižane.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
Ladja je obstala v sedmem mesecu, na sedemnajsti dan meseca, na gorah Araráta.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
In vode so nenehno upadale do desetega meseca. V desetem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, so bili vidni vrhovi gora.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
Ob koncu štiridesetih dni se je pripetilo, da je Noe odprl okno ladje, ki jo je naredil
7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
in izpustil krokarja, ki je letal sem ter tja, dokler se vode iznad zemlje niso posušile.
8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
Od sebe je izpustil tudi golobico, da vidi, če so se vode znižale iznad obličja tal,
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.
toda golobica ni našla počitka za podnožje svojega stopala in se je vrnila k njemu v ladjo, kajti vode so bile na obličju celotne zemlje. Potem je iztegnil svojo roko in jo prijel ter potegnil k sebi v ladjo.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
Okleval pa je še drugih sedem dni in golobico ponovno izpustil iz ladje.
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, see, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
Golobica je zvečer priletela k njemu, in glej, v njenem kljunu je bil odtrgan oljčni list. Tako je Noe spoznal, da so bile vode iznad zemlje znižane.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again to him any more.
Okleval je še drugih sedem dni in izpustil golobico, ki se ni več ponovno vrnila k njemu.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
Pripetilo se je v šeststoprvem letu, v prvem mesecu, prvi dan meseca, [da] so se vode iznad zemlje posušile. Noe je odstranil pokrivalo ladje ter pogledal in glej, obličje tal je bilo suho.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
V drugem mesecu, na sedemindvajseti dan meseca, je bila zemlja suha.
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Bog je spregovoril Noetu, rekoč:
16 Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
»Pojdi iz ladje ti in tvoja žena in tvoji sinovi in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.
17 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.
S seboj privedi vsako živo stvar, ki je s teboj od vsega mesa, tako od perjadi kakor od živine in od vsake plazeče stvari, ki se plazi na zemlji, da se bodo na zemlji lahko obilno plodili in bodo rodovitni in se množili na zemlji.«
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
Noe se je izkrcal in njegovi sinovi in njegova žena in žene njegovih sinov z njim.
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatever creeps on the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
Vsaka žival, vsaka plazeča stvar in vsaka perjad in karkoli se plazi na zemlji, po svojih vrstah, so se izkrcali iz ladje.
20 And Noah built an altar to the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Noe je zgradil oltar Gospodu in vzel od vsake čiste živali in od vsake čiste perjadi ter na oltarju daroval žgalne daritve.
21 And the LORD smelled a sweet smell; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
Gospod je zavohal prijeten vonj in Gospod je v svojem srcu rekel: »Zaradi človeka tal ne bom več ponovno preklel, kajti zamisel človekovega srca je zla od njegove mladosti niti ne bom več ponovno udaril vsake žive stvari, kakor sem storil.
22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Dokler ostaja zemlja, čas setve in žetve in mraz in vročina in poletje in zima in dan in noč ne bodo prenehali.«
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
