Genesis 8
1 And God remembers Noah, and every living thing, and all the livestock which [are] with him in the Ark, and God causes a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,
Mawu meŋlɔ Noa kple lã siwo katã nɔ aɖakaʋu la me be o. Ena ya aɖe ƒo to tsi la dzi, eye tsiɖɔɖɔ la de asi miemie me,
2 and the fountains of the deep and the network of the heavens are closed, and the shower is restrained from the heavens.
elabena tsi si ŋɔ tso tome la nu tso, eye tsidzadza la ke.
3 And the waters return from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of one hundred and fifty days.
Tsi la de asi miemie me vivivi le anyigba dzi. Le ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃lia ƒe nuwuwu la, tsi la mie keŋ,
4 And the Ark rests, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
eye le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiadrelia gbe la, aɖakaʋu la va tɔ ɖe Ararat toawo tame.
5 and the waters have been going and decreasing until the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the heads of the mountains appeared.
Le ɣleti ewolia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ gbe, esime tsiɖɔɖɔ la ganɔ miemiem ɖe edzi kokoko la, to bubuwo hã tame de asi dzedze me.
6 And it comes to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opens the window of the Ark which he made,
Le ŋkeke blaene bubu megbe la, Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la ƒe fesre ɖeka,
7 and he sends forth the raven, and it goes out, going out and turning back until the drying of the waters from off the earth.
eye wòɖe asi le akpaviã ɖeka ŋu. Akpaviã la dzo tso afii yi afi mɛ va se ɖe esime anyigba ƒu.
8 And he sends forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
Noa ɖo ahɔnɛ aɖe ɖa be ate ŋu akpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui mahã.
9 and the dove has not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turns back to him, to the Ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he puts out his hand, and takes her, and brings her in to him, into the Ark.
Ke ahɔnɛ la mekpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui aɖeke, afi si wòadze ɖo o, ale wòtrɔ gbɔ, elabena tsi ganɔ anyigba dzi ko. Ale Noa do asi ɖa, eye wòlé ahɔnɛ la gade aɖakaʋu la me.
10 And he stays yet seven more days, and adds to send forth the dove from the Ark;
Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, Noa gaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu.
11 and the dove comes to him at evening, and behold, an olive leaf [is] torn off in her mouth; and Noah knows that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.
Azɔ la, ahɔnɛ la trɔ gbɔ le fiẽ me, eye wòlé amitiŋgba ɖe nu. Ale Noa dze sii be esusɔ vie tsi la namie keŋkeŋ.
12 And he stays yet seven more days, and sends forth the dove, and it did not add to return to him anymore.
Egaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu le kɔsiɖa ɖeka megbe, eye ahɔnɛ la megatrɔ gbɔ o.
13 And it comes to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turns aside the covering of the Ark, and looks, and behold, the face of the ground has been dried.
Ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ va yi. Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la, eye wòkpɔ be tsi la mie keŋkeŋ azɔ.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth has become dry.
Kɔsiɖa enyi gava yi. Anyigba ƒu azɔ mlɔeba.
15 And God speaks to Noah, saying, “Go out from the Ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you;
Tete Mawu gblɔ na Noa be,
16 every living thing that [is] with you, of all flesh, among bird, and among livestock, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with you;
“Wò kple srɔ̃wò kple viwò ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃wo mido le aɖakaʋu la me.
17 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.”
Ɖe nu gbagbe bubu ɖe sia ɖe si le gbɔwò: xeviawo, lãawo kple nu gbagbe siwo tana la katã do go le aɖakaʋu la me, ale be woagate ŋu adzi asɔ gbɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.”
18 And Noah goes out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him;
Ale Noa do go kple srɔ̃a kple via ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃awo.
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the Ark.
Lãawo katã kple nu gbagbe siwo tana kple xevi ɖe sia ɖe kple nu sia nu si ʋãna le anyigba dzi la do go tso aɖakaʋu la me ɖe wo nɔewo yome hamehame.
20 And Noah builds an altar to YHWH, and takes from every clean beast and from every clean bird, and causes burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;
Esia megbe la, Noa ɖi vɔsamlekpui, eye wòsa vɔ le edzi na Yehowa kple lã kple xevi siwo dzi Yehowa da asi ɖo hena vɔsasa la dometɔ aɖewo.
21 and YHWH smells the refreshing fragrance, and YHWH says to His heart, “I do not continue to disfavor the ground because of man anymore, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I do not continue to strike all living anymore, as I have done;
Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le vɔsa la ŋu, eye wògblɔ na eɖokui be, “Nyemagaƒo fi ade anyigba o, eye nyemagatsrɔ̃ nu gbagbewo katã le edzi azɔ o, togbɔ be amegbetɔ ƒe dzɔdzɔme henɛ dea nu vɔ̃ me tso keke eƒe ɖevime ke, eye wòwɔa nu vɔ̃wo tsyo ƒomevi gɔ̃ hã.
22 during all [the] days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night never cease.”
Zi ale si anyigba aganɔ anyi ko la, nuƒãɣi kple nuŋeɣi, vuvɔŋɔli kple fifiawɔɣi, pepime kple dzomeŋɔli, ŋkeke kple zã aganɔ anyi kokoko.”
