Genesis 8
1 God remembered Noah [Rest], all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
Asi Mwari akarangarira Noa nemhuka dzose dzesango nezvipfuwo zvakanga zvinaye muareka, uye akatuma mhepo pamusoro penyika, uye mvura zhinji ikaserera.
2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
Zvino zvitubu zvepakadzika uye masuo amafashamu okudenga zvakanga zvazarirwa, uye mvura yakanga yaguma kunaya kubva kudenga.
3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.
Mvura yakaserera zvishoma nezvishoma kubva panyika. Pakupera kwamazuva zana namakumi mashanu mvura yakanga yadzika,
4 The ship rested in the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]·, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
uye pazuva regumi namanomwe romwedzi wechinomwe, areka yakagara pamakomo eArarati.
5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month Tevet ·Ten (in Hebrew) / Good (In Aramaic), 10·. In the tenth month Tevet ·Ten (in Hebrew) / Good (In Aramaic), 10·, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
Mvura yakaramba ichiserera kusvikira pamwedzi wegumi, uye pazuva rokutanga romwedzi wegumi misoro yamakomo yakatanga kuonekwa.
6 At the end of forty days, Noah [Rest] opened the window of the ship which he had made,
Shure kwamazuva makumi mana, Noa akazarura windo raakanga aita muareka,
7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
uye akatuma gunguo, uye rakaramba richibhururuka kuno nokoko kusvikira mvura yapwa panyika.
8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
Ipapo akatuma njiva kuti aone kana mvura yakanga yaserera kubva pamusoro penyika.
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 out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
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 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
Akarindira kwamamwezve mazuva manomwe uye akabudisazve njiva muareka.
11 The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah [Rest] knew that the waters were abated from 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 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
Akamirirazve kwamamwe mazuva manomwe uye akabudisazve njiva, asi panguva iyi haina kuzodzoka kwaari.
13 In the six hundred first year, in the first month Nissan ·Miracles (in Aramaic), 1·, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah [Rest] removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was 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 In the second month (Iyar ·Light / I Am God your healer, 2·), on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Pazuva ramakumi maviri namanomwe romwedzi wechipiri nyika yakanga yaoma kwazvo.
15 God spoke to Noah [Rest], saying,
Ipapo Mwari akati kuna Noa,
16 “Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
“Budai muareka, iwe nomukadzi wako navanakomana vako navakadzi vavo.
17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
Budisa mhando dzose dzezvisikwa zvipenyu zvaunazvo, shiri, mhuka nezvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika, kuitira kuti zvibereke uye zvive zvizhinji pamusoro payo.”
18 Noah [Rest] went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
Saka Noa akabuda, pamwe chete navanakomana vake nomukadzi wake uye navakadzi vavanakomana vake.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
Mhuka dzose nezvisikwa zvose zvinokambaira panyika neshiri dzose, zvinhu zvose zvinofamba panyika, zvakabuda muareka, rudzi ruchitevera rumwe.
20 Noah [Rest] built an altar to Adonai, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Ipapo Noa akavakira Jehovha aritari, uye akatora dzimwe dzemhuka dzose dzakanaka neshiri dzakanaka, akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa pamusoro payo.
21 Adonai smelled the pleasant aroma. Adonai said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, 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 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
“Kana nyika ichingovapo, nguva dzokudyara nedzokukohwa, kutonhora nokupisa, zhizha nechando, masikati nousiku hazvingatongogumi.”
