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;
Nzambe akanisaki Noa mpe banyama nyonso oyo ezalaki elongo na ye kati na masuwa, atindaki mopepe na mokili mpe mayi ekitaki.
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;
Bitima ya se mpe maninisa ya likolo ekangamaki mpe mvula etikaki konoka.
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.
Mayi ekomaki kolongwa moke-moke likolo ya mabele, mpe sima na mikolo nkama moko na tuku mitano, mayi ekitaki.
4 And the ark rested, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, —on the mountains of Ararat.
Na mokolo ya zomi na sambo ya sanza ya sambo, masuwa esemaki likolo ya bangomba Ararati.
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.
Mayi ezalaki kokoba kokita kino na sanza ya zomi. Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza yango, basonge ya bangomba emonanaki.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made;
Sima na mikolo tuku minei, Noa afungolaki lininisa ya masuwa oyo asalaki
7 and sent forth a raven, —and it kept going forth and returning, until the drying up of the waters from off the earth.
mpe abimisaki yanganga. Yanganga yango ezalaki kokende mpe kozonga kino tango mayi ekawukaki na mokili.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, —to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;
Mpe lisusu, Noa abimisaki ebenga mpo na kotala soki mayi ekawuki na mokili.
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.
Kasi ebenga ezwaki esika ya kotia matambe na yango te, pamba te mayi ezalaki na etando nyonso ya mokili. Boye, ezongaki na masuwa epai ya Noa. Noa abimisaki loboko, azwaki ebenga mpe akotisaki yango kati na masuwa.
10 Then stayed he yet seven days more, —and, again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Azelaki mikolo sambo mpe abimisaki lisusu ebenga libanda ya masuwa.
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.
Tango ebenga ezongaki epai na ye na pokwa, ememaki lokasa ya olive ya mobesu na monoko na yango. Boye, Noa asosolaki ete mayi ekiti na mokili.
12 And he stayed yet seven days more, —and sent forth the dove, but she returned not again unto him any more.
Azelaki lisusu mikolo sambo mosusu, mpe abimisaki ebenga. Kasi ebenga ezongaki lisusu te.
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.
Na mokolo ya liboso na sanza ya liboso, tango Noa akokisaki mibu nkama motoba na moko ya mbotama, mayi ekawukaki na mokili; Noa afungolaki masuwa na likolo na yango mpe amonaki ete mabele ekawuki.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dry.
Na mokolo ya tuku mibale na sambo ya sanza ya mibale, mabele ekawukaki penza.
15 So then, God spake to Noah, saying:
Boye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa:
16 Come forth out of the ark, —thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
« Bima na masuwa elongo na mwasi na yo, mpe bana na yo ya mibali elongo na basi na bango.
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.
Bimisa mpe bikelamu oyo ezali elongo na yo: bandeke, banyama mpe bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu, mpo ete ebotana mpe ekoma ebele kati na mokili. »
18 So Noah came forth, —and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
Boye, Noa abimaki libanda elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, mwasi na ye mpe basi ya bana na ye.
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.
Banyama nyonso, bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bandeke nyonso, bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na mokili, ebimaki na masuwa na molongo kolanda lolenge na yango.
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.
Noa atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe mpe azwaki ndambo ya banyama mpe bandeke ezanga mbindo, abonzelaki yango Yawe lokola mbeka ya kotumba.
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.
Boye, Yawe ayokaki solo kitoko mpe amilobelaki: « Nakolakela lisusu mabele mabe te likolo ya moto, pamba te wuta bomwana ya moto, motema ya moto elukaka kaka makambo mabe; nakoboma lisusu te bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi ndenge nawuti kosala.
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.
Na tango nyonso oyo mokili ekozala, tango ya kolona mpe tango ya kobuka, tango ya malili mpe tango ya molunge, tango ya mvula mpe tango ya elanga, tango ya moyi mpe tango ya butu, ekozanga te. »
