Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and all the wild—beasts and all the tame-beasts that were with him in the ark, —and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided;
Onda se Bog sjeti Noe, svih zvijeri i sve stoke što bijaše s njim u korablji, pa pokrenu vjetar nad zemljom da uzbije vodu.
2 and the fountains of the roaring-deep were shut, and the windows of the heavens, —and the heavy rain was restrained from the heavens;
Zatvoriše se izvori bezdanu i ustave nebeske, i dažd s neba prestade.
3 and the waters returned from off the earth they went on returning, —and so the waters decreased at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
Polako se povlačile vode sa zemlje. Nakon stotinu pedeset dana vode su jenjale,
4 And the ark rested, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, —on the mountains of Ararat.
a sedmoga mjeseca, sedamnaestog dana u mjesecu korablja se zaustavi na brdima Ararata.
5 But, the waters went on decreasing, until the tenth month, —in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, were seen the tops of the mountains.
Vode su neprestano opadale do desetog mjeseca, a prvoga dana desetog mjeseca pokažu se brdski vrhunci.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made;
Kad je izminulo četrdeset dana, Noa otvori prozor što ga je načinio na korablji;
7 and sent forth a raven, —and it kept going forth and returning, until the drying up of the waters from off the earth.
ispusti gavrana, a gavran svejednako odlijetaše i dolijetaše dok se vode sa zemlje nisu isušile.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, —to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;
Zatim ispusti golubicu da vidi je li voda nestala sa zemlje.
9 but the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot so she returned unto him into the ark, for, waters, were on the face of all the earth; and he put forth his hand and took her, and brought her in unto him, into the ark.
Ali golubica ne nađe uporišta nogama te se vrati k njemu u korablju, jer voda još pokrivaše svu površinu; on pruži ruku, uhvati golubicu te je unese k sebi u korablju.
10 Then stayed he yet seven days more, —and, again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Počeka još sedam dana pa opet pusti golubicu iz korablje.
11 And the dove came in unto him at eventide, and lo! a newly sprouted olive-leaf, in her mouth, —so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off the earth.
Prema večeri golubica se vrati k njemu, i gle! u kljunu joj svjež maslinov list; tako je Noa doznao da su opale vode sa zemlje.
12 And he stayed yet seven days more, —and sent forth the dove, but she returned not again unto him any more.
Još počeka sedam dana pa opet pusti golubicu: više mu se nije vratila.
13 So it came to pass in the six hundred and first year at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried up from off the earth, —and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked and lo! the face of the ground was dried.
Šest stotina prve godine Noina života, prvoga mjeseca, prvog dana u mjesecu uzmakoše vode sa zemlje. Noa skine pokrov s korablje i pogleda: površina okopnjela.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dry.
A drugoga mjeseca, sedamnaestog dana u mjesecu, zemlja bijaše suha.
15 So then, God spake to Noah, saying:
Tada Bog reče Noi:
16 Come forth out of the ark, —thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
“Iziđi iz korablje, ti, tvoja žena, tvoji sinovi i žene tvojih sinova s tobom.
17 All the living creatures that are with thee of all flesh among birds, and among beasts, and among all the creeping things that creep on the earth, bring forth with thee, —and they shall swarm in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply, on the earth.
Sa sobom izvedi sva živa bića, sva stvorenja što su s tobom: ptice, stoku i sve gmizavce što zemljom puze; neka zemljom vrve, plode se i na zemlji množe!”
18 So Noah came forth, —and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
I Noa iziđe, a s njime sinovi njegovi, žena njegova i žene sinova njegovih.
19 All the living creatures, all that move along, and all birds, and all that moveth along over the earth—by their families, came forth out of the ark.
Sve životinje, svi gmizavci, sve ptice - svi stvorovi što se zemljom miču - iziđu iz korablje, vrsta za vrstom.
20 And Noah builded an altar to Yahweh, —and took of all the clean beasts and of all the clean birds, and caused ascending Sacrifices to go up on the altar.
I podiže Noa žrtvenik Jahvi; uze od svih čistih životinja i od svih čistih ptica i prinese na žrtveniku žrtve paljenice.
21 And Yahweh smelled a satisfying odour, so Yahweh said to himself. I will not, again, curse any more the ground for man’s sake, although the device of the heart of man, be wicked from his youth, —neither will I again, any more smite every living thing, as I have done.
Jahve omirisa miris ugodni pa reče u sebi: “Nikad više neću zemlju u propast strovaliti zbog čovjeka, tÓa čovječje su misli opake od njegova početka; niti ću ikad više uništiti sva živa stvorenja, kako sam učinio.
22 During all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
Sve dok zemlje bude, sjetve, žetve, studeni, vrućine, ljeta, zime, dani, noći nikada prestati neće.”
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
