Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and all the wild animals, and all the tame animals, and all the flying creatures, and all the crawling creatures that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters began to recede.
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 And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
Tudi studenci globin in okna neba so bili ustavljeni in dež z neba je bil zadržan.
3 And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
Vode so se nenehno vračale iznad zemlje in po koncu sto petdesetih dni so bile vode znižane.
4 And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
Ladja je obstala v sedmem mesecu, na sedemnajsti dan meseca, na gorah Araráta.
5 The waters receded continually to the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
In vode so nenehno upadale do desetega meseca. V desetem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, so bili vidni vrhovi gora.
6 It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship 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. It went back and forth, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
in izpustil krokarja, ki je letal sem ter tja, dokler se vode iznad zemlje niso posušile.
8 Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface 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 place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
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 waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
Okleval pa je še drugih sedem dni in golobico ponovno izpustil iz ladje.
11 The dove came back to him at evening, and, look, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had abated from 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 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.
Okleval je še drugih sedem dni in izpustil golobico, ki se ni več ponovno vrnila k njemu.
13 And it happened in the six hundred first year of Noah's life, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters had dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ship and looked out. And look, the surface 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 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
V drugem mesecu, na sedemindvajseti dan meseca, je bila zemlja suha.
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
Bog je spregovoril Noetu, rekoč:
16 "Go out of the ship, 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 out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, of flying creatures, and animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth, that they may swarm on 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, with his sons, 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 And every wild animal, and every tame animal, and every flying creature, and every creature that crawls on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
Vsaka žival, vsaka plazeča stvar in vsaka perjad in karkoli se plazi na zemlji, po svojih vrstah, so se izkrcali iz ladje.
20 Noah built an altar to God, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean flying creature, 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 God smelled the pleasing aroma, and God said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, even though the inclination of his heart is evil from his youth, nor will I again destroy every living thing, 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, seed time 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.«
