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.
Katonda n’ajjukira Nuuwa n’ensolo zonna ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko ezaali naye mu lyato, n’asindika empewo ku nsi, amazzi ne gakendeera;
2 And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
ensulo eza wansi w’ensi n’ebituli eby’eggulu ne biggalibwa, n’enkuba eva mu ggulu n’eziyizibwa,
3 And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
n’amazzi ne geeyongera okukendeera ku nsi. Ku nkomerero y’ennaku kikumi mu ataano amazzi gaali gakalidde;
4 And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
ne mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, ku lunaku lwagwo olw’ekkumi n’omusanvu, eryato ne litereera ku nsozi eza Alalaati.
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.
Bwe gatyo amazzi ne geeyongera okukalira okutuusa mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi, ku lunaku olusooka olw’omwezi ogwo entikko z’ensozi ne zirabika.
6 It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku amakumi ana Nuuwa n’aggula eddirisa lye yakola ku lyato
7 and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
n’atuma namuŋŋoona n’agenda nga bw’akomawo okutuusa amazzi lwe gaakalira.
8 Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground,
Oluvannyuma n’atuma ejjuba ne liva w’ali okulaba ng’amazzi gakalidde ku nsi;
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.
naye ejjuba ne litalaba we lissa kigere kyalyo, ne likomawo gy’ali mu lyato, kubanga amazzi gaali gakyali ku nsi yonna. N’agolola omukono gwe n’alikwata n’aliyingiza mu lyato.
10 And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
N’alinda ennaku endala musanvu n’atuma ate ejjuba okuva mu lyato;
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.
ne likomawo akawungeezi, era laba, nga lirina mu kamwa kaalyo akakoola akabisi ke liggye ku muti omuzeyituuni. Awo Nuuwa n’ategeera nti amazzi gakendedde ku nsi.
12 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.
Ate n’alinda ennaku endala musanvu, n’asindika ejjuba, naye ku mulundi guno teryadda.
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.
Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye, olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye nga Nuuwa aweza emyaka lukaaga mu gumu, amazzi gaali gakalidde ku nsi. Awo Nuuwa n’aggyako ekibikka ku lyato n’alaba ng’ensi ekalidde.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu olw’omwezi ogwokubiri ensi yali ekalidde.
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
Awo Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa nti,
16 "Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
“Vva mu lyato, ggwe, ne mukazi wo, ne batabani bo ne bakazi baabwe.
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."
Fulumya buli kiramu ekiri naawe: ebinyonyi, n’ensolo, na buli kiramu ekitambula ku ttaka, biryoke bizaale byale ku nsi, byeyongerenga obungi.”
18 And Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
Awo Nuuwa n’afuluma ne batabani be, ne mukazi we wamu ne bakazi ba batabani be.
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.
N’ensolo n’ebitonde byonna ebitambula ku ttaka, n’ebinyonyi byonna, byonna ne biva mu lyato bibiri bibiri mu bibinja.
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.
Awo Nuuwa n’azimbira Mukama ekyoto, n’addira ku zimu ku nsolo ennongoofu ne ku binyonyi ebirongoofu n’awaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku kyoto.
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.
Mukama n’awulira akawoowo akalungi akamusanyusa, n’ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Sikyaddayo kukolimira nsi olw’omuntu, newaakubadde ng’endowooza y’omutima gwe mbi okuva mu buto bwe. Sikyaddayo na kuzikiriza bitonde byonna ebiramu, nga bwe nkoze.
22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
“Ensi ng’ekyaliwo, okusiga n’amakungula, obunnyogovu n’ebbugumu, ebiseera eby’omusana n’eby’obutiti, emisana n’ekiro, tebiggwengawo.”
