< 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,
Asi Mwari akarangarira Noa nemhuka dzose dzesango nezvipfuwo zvakanga zvinaye muareka, uye akatuma mhepo pamusoro penyika, uye mvura zhinji ikaserera.
2 and the fountains of the deep and the network of the heavens are closed, and the shower is restrained from the heavens.
Zvino zvitubu zvepakadzika uye masuo amafashamu okudenga zvakanga zvazarirwa, uye mvura yakanga yaguma kunaya kubva kudenga.
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.
Mvura yakaserera zvishoma nezvishoma kubva panyika. Pakupera kwamazuva zana namakumi mashanu mvura yakanga yadzika,
4 And the Ark rests, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
uye pazuva regumi namanomwe romwedzi wechinomwe, areka yakagara pamakomo eArarati.
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.
Mvura yakaramba ichiserera kusvikira pamwedzi wegumi, uye pazuva rokutanga romwedzi wegumi misoro yamakomo yakatanga kuonekwa.
6 And it comes to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opens the window of the Ark which he made,
Shure kwamazuva makumi mana, Noa akazarura windo raakanga aita muareka,
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.
uye akatuma gunguo, uye rakaramba richibhururuka kuno nokoko kusvikira mvura yapwa panyika.
8 And he sends forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
Ipapo akatuma njiva kuti aone kana mvura yakanga yaserera kubva pamusoro penyika.
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.
Asi njiva haina kuwana nzvimbo yokumhara nokuti mvura yakanga iri pose pose; saka yakadzokera kuna Noa muareka. Akatambanudza ruoko rwake akadzorera njiva muareka maaiva.
10 And he stays yet seven more days, and adds to send forth the dove from the Ark;
Akarindira kwamamwezve mazuva manomwe uye akabudisazve njiva muareka.
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.
Njiva yakati yadzokera kwaari panguva yamanheru, onei heyo mumuromo mayo yakaruma shizha nyoro rakatanhwa pamuorivhi! Ipapo Noa akaziva kuti mvura yakanga yaserera panyika.
12 And he stays yet seven more days, and sends forth the dove, and it did not add to return to him anymore.
Akamirirazve kwamamwe mazuva manomwe uye akabudisazve njiva, asi panguva iyi haina kuzodzoka kwaari.
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.
Pazuva rokutanga romwedzi wokutanga wegore ramazana matanhatu nerimwe aNoa, mvura yakanga yapwa panyika. Ipapo Noa akabvisa chifukidziro cheareka akaona kuti pamusoro penyika pakanga paoma.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth has become dry.
Pazuva ramakumi maviri namanomwe romwedzi wechipiri nyika yakanga yaoma kwazvo.
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;
Ipapo Mwari akati kuna Noa,
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;
“Budai muareka, iwe nomukadzi wako navanakomana vako navakadzi vavo.
17 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.”
Budisa mhando dzose dzezvisikwa zvipenyu zvaunazvo, shiri, mhuka nezvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika, kuitira kuti zvibereke uye zvive zvizhinji pamusoro payo.”
18 And Noah goes out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him;
Saka Noa akabuda, pamwe chete navanakomana vake nomukadzi wake uye navakadzi vavanakomana vake.
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the Ark.
Mhuka dzose nezvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika neshiri dzose, zvinhu zvose zvinofamba panyika, zvakabuda muareka, rudzi ruchitevera rumwe.
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;
Ipapo Noa akavakira Jehovha aritari, uye akatora dzimwe dzemhuka dzose dzakanaka neshiri dzakanaka, akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa pamusoro payo.
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;
Jehovha akanzwa kunhuhwira kwakanaka akati mumwoyo make, “Handichazotukazve nyika nokuda kwomunhu, kunyange hazvo kufunga kwomwoyo wake kwakaipa kubva pakuberekwa kwake. Uye handichazoparadzazve zvisikwa zvipenyu zvose, sezvandakaita.
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.”
“Kana nyika ichingovapo, nguva dzokudyara nedzokukohwa, kutonhora nokupisa, zhizha nechando, masikati nousiku hazvingatongogumi.”
