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;
Ma Chineke chetara Noa na ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile, na ụmụ anụ ụlọ niile so ya nọdụ nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ. O zitere ifufe, mee ka o fee nʼelu mmiri ahụ ime ka mmiri ahụ bido ịta.
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;
A kpọchiri isi iyi mmiri niile dị nʼime ime ala, kpọchiekwa ọnụ ụzọ mmiri ozuzo nke mbara eluigwe. Mmiri kwụsịrị isi na mbara eluigwe na-ezokwasị ụwa.
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.
Mmiri ahụ dị nʼụwa ji nwayọọ na-ata. Mgbe narị ụbọchị na iri ụbọchị ise gafesịrị, mmiri ahụ atalatala.
4 And the ark rested, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, —on the mountains of Ararat.
Nʼụbọchị iri na asaa nke ọnwa asaa, ụgbọ mmiri ahụ gara nọkwasị nʼelu ugwu Ararat.
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.
Mmiri a gara nʼihu na-ata ruo ọnwa nke iri. Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ nke ọnwa iri, e bidoro ịhụ elu ugwu ndị ọzọ anya.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made;
Mgbe iri ụbọchị anọ gafere, Noa meghere oghereikuku ọ rụnyere nʼakụkụ ụgbọ mmiri ahụ,
7 and sent forth a raven, —and it kept going forth and returning, until the drying up of the waters from off the earth.
site nʼebe ahụ zipụ otu ugolọma nke na-efepụ na-efebatakwa, tutu ruo mgbe mmiri kọrọ nʼelu ala.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, —to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;
Emesịa, o zipụrụ otu nduru iji mata ma mmiri ọ kọọla nʼala,
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.
ma nduru ahụ achọtaghị ebe o nwere ike ibe, nʼihi na mmiri ka tojuru elu ụwa niile. Nʼihi ya, nduru ahụ lọghachikwutere Noa nʼime ụgbọ ahụ. Noa setịpụrụ aka ya nwụbata nduru ahụ nʼụgbọ.
10 Then stayed he yet seven days more, —and, again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụrụ nduru ahụ ọzọ
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.
Nʼoge anyasị, nduru a lọghachiri. Ọ kpụ akwụkwọ oliv ọhụrụ ọ kụbitere nʼọnụ ya. Nke a gosiri Noa na mmiri ahụ ataala nʼelu ala.
12 And he stayed yet seven days more, —and sent forth the dove, but she returned not again unto him any more.
Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụkwara nduru ahụ ọzọ. Ma nʼoge a, ọ lọtakwaghị ọzọ.
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.
Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ narị isii na otu nke ndụ Noa, mmiri ahụ atachaala nʼelu ala. Mgbe ahụ, Noa kpughepụrụ ihe mkpuchi nke ụgbọ mmiri ahụ, hụ na mmiri atachaala nʼelu ala.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dry.
Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị iri abụọ na asaa nke ọnwa abụọ ka mmiri ji takọrọchaa nʼelu ala.
15 So then, God spake to Noah, saying:
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke gwara Noa okwu sị ya,
16 Come forth out of the ark, —thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
“Site nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta, gị na nwunye gị, na ụmụ gị ndị ikom, na ndị nwunye ụmụ gị ndị ikom.
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.
Kpọpụta anụ niile dị ndụ nke gị na ha nọ, anụ ufe, na ụmụ anụmanụ, na ihe e kere eke niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, ka ha gaa nʼụwa mụọ ọmụmụ, baa ụba, jupụta nʼelu ya.”
18 So Noah came forth, —and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
Ya mere, Noa si nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ pụta, ya na ụmụ ya, na nwunye ya, na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya.
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.
Ma anụmanụ niile ọbụla nke dị ndụ, na ihe niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, na anụ ufe niile, ihe niile na-ejegharị nʼụwa, ka ụdị ha si dị, sitere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ pụta.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Noa wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ họọrọ site nʼanụ ụlọ ndị dị ọcha na anụ ufe ndị dị ọcha chụọ aja nsure ọkụ.
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.
Onyenwe anyị nụrụ isisi ụtọ nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ kwuo nʼobi ya sị, “Agaghị m abụ ala ọnụ ọzọ nʼihi mmadụ, ebe ọ bụ na izuzu obi mmadụ bụ ime ihe ọjọọ site na mgbe ọ bụ nwata, agakwaghị m ala ihe niile e kere eke na-eku ume ndụ iyi ọzọ, dịka m mere.
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.
“Ogologo oge niile ụwa ga-anọgide, oge ịkụ mkpụrụ na oge iwe ihe ubi, oge oyi na oge okpomọkụ, ọkọchị na udu mmiri, ehihie na abalị, agaghị ebi.”
