< 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,
Ma Chineke chetara Noa na ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile, na ụmụ anụ ụlọ niile so ya nọdụ nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ. O zitere ifufe, mee ka o fee nʼelu mmiri ahụ ime ka mmiri ahụ bido ịta.
2 and the fountains of the deep and the network of the heavens are closed, and the shower is restrained from the heavens.
A kpọchiri isi iyi mmiri niile dị nʼime ime ala, kpọchiekwa ọnụ ụzọ mmiri ozuzo nke mbara eluigwe. Mmiri kwụsịrị isi na mbara eluigwe na-ezokwasị ụwa.
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.
Mmiri ahụ dị nʼụwa ji nwayọọ na-ata. Mgbe narị ụbọchị na iri ụbọchị ise gafesịrị, mmiri ahụ atalatala.
4 And the Ark rests, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
Nʼụbọchị iri na asaa nke ọnwa asaa, ụgbọ mmiri ahụ gara nọkwasị nʼelu ugwu Ararat.
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.
Mmiri a gara nʼihu na-ata ruo ọnwa nke iri. Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ nke ọnwa iri, e bidoro ịhụ elu ugwu ndị ọzọ anya.
6 And it comes to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opens the window of the Ark which he made,
Mgbe iri ụbọchị anọ gafere, Noa meghere oghereikuku ọ rụnyere nʼakụkụ ụgbọ mmiri ahụ,
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.
site nʼebe ahụ zipụ otu ugolọma nke na-efepụ na-efebatakwa, tutu ruo mgbe mmiri kọrọ nʼelu ala.
8 And he sends forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
Emesịa, o zipụrụ otu nduru iji mata ma mmiri ọ kọọla nʼala,
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.
ma nduru ahụ achọtaghị ebe o nwere ike ibe, nʼihi na mmiri ka tojuru elu ụwa niile. Nʼihi ya, nduru ahụ lọghachikwutere Noa nʼime ụgbọ ahụ. Noa setịpụrụ aka ya nwụbata nduru ahụ nʼụgbọ.
10 And he stays yet seven more days, and adds to send forth the dove from the Ark;
Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụrụ nduru ahụ ọzọ
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.
Nʼoge anyasị, nduru a lọghachiri. Ọ kpụ akwụkwọ oliv ọhụrụ ọ kụbitere nʼọnụ ya. Nke a gosiri Noa na mmiri ahụ ataala nʼelu ala.
12 And he stays yet seven more days, and sends forth the dove, and it did not add to return to him anymore.
Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụkwara nduru ahụ ọzọ. Ma nʼoge a, ọ lọtakwaghị ọzọ.
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.
Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ narị isii na otu nke ndụ Noa, mmiri ahụ atachaala nʼelu ala. Mgbe ahụ, Noa kpughepụrụ ihe mkpuchi nke ụgbọ mmiri ahụ, hụ na mmiri atachaala nʼelu ala.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth has become dry.
Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị iri abụọ na asaa nke ọnwa abụọ ka mmiri ji takọrọchaa nʼelu ala.
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;
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke gwara Noa okwu sị ya,
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;
“Site nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta, gị na nwunye gị, na ụmụ gị ndị ikom, na ndị nwunye ụmụ gị ndị ikom.
17 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.”
Kpọpụta anụ niile dị ndụ nke gị na ha nọ, anụ ufe, na ụmụ anụmanụ, na ihe e kere eke niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, ka ha gaa nʼụwa mụọ ọmụmụ, baa ụba, jupụta nʼelu ya.”
18 And Noah goes out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him;
Ya mere, Noa si nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ pụta, ya na ụmụ ya, na nwunye ya, na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya.
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the Ark.
Ma anụmanụ niile ọbụla nke dị ndụ, na ihe niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, na anụ ufe niile, ihe niile na-ejegharị nʼụwa, ka ụdị ha si dị, sitere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ pụta.
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;
Mgbe ahụ, Noa wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ họọrọ site nʼanụ ụlọ ndị dị ọcha na anụ ufe ndị dị ọcha chụọ aja nsure ọkụ.
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;
Onyenwe anyị nụrụ isisi ụtọ nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ kwuo nʼobi ya sị, “Agaghị m abụ ala ọnụ ọzọ nʼihi mmadụ, ebe ọ bụ na izuzu obi mmadụ bụ ime ihe ọjọọ site na mgbe ọ bụ nwata, agakwaghị m ala ihe niile e kere eke na-eku ume ndụ iyi ọzọ, dịka m mere.
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.”
“Ogologo oge niile ụwa ga-anọgide, oge ịkụ mkpụrụ na oge iwe ihe ubi, oge oyi na oge okpomọkụ, ọkọchị na udu mmiri, ehihie na abalị, agaghị ebi.”
