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;
Nanso Onyankopɔn kaee Noa ne wuram mmoa a na wɔne no wɔ Adaka no mu no, na ɔmaa mframa bɔ faa asase so, na nsu no twee.
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;
Asuti a ɛwowɔ asase ase no mu nsu a ɛbobɔe no gyaee ba, na ɔsoro mfɛnsere no nso mu toto maa osu no gyaee tɔ.
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.
Nsu no toaa so twe fii asase so. Nnafua ɔha ne aduonum akyi no, na nsu no atwe koraa.
4 And the ark rested, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, —on the mountains of Ararat.
Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunson so, Adaka no kɔtaa Ararat mmepɔw so.
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.
Nsu no toaa so, twee ara kosii ɔsram a ɛto so du no so. Na ɔsram no da a edi kan no, mmepɔw no atifi daa adi.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made;
Adaduanan akyi no, Noa buee mfɛnsere a otwa too Adaka no ho no,
7 and sent forth a raven, —and it kept going forth and returning, until the drying up of the waters from off the earth.
na ɔsomaa kwaakwaadabi ma odii akɔneaba kosii sɛ nsu no nyinaa yow fii asase no so.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, —to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face of the ground;
Afei, ɔsomaa aborɔnoma sɛ ɔnkɔhwɛ sɛ asase no so awo ana.
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.
Nanso aborɔnoma no annya baabi ansi, efisɛ na nsu no akata asase no so nyinaa. Enti ɔsan baa Noa nkyɛn ma Noa teɛɛ ne nsa soo ne mu de no baa Adaka no mu.
10 Then stayed he yet seven days more, —and, again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Noa twɛn nnanson, na ɛno akyi no, ɔsan somaa aborɔnoma no bio.
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.
Bere a aborɔnoma no san baa ne nkyɛn anwummere no, na ngodua ahabammono a watew tua nʼano. Ɛno na ɛmaa Noa huu sɛ nsu no atwe afi asase no so.
12 And he stayed yet seven days more, —and sent forth the dove, but she returned not again unto him any more.
Noa twɛn nnanson bio, na ɔsan somaa aborɔnoma no, nanso wansan amma ne nkyɛn bio.
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 ɛbaa sɛ Noa dii mfe ahansia ne baako, ɔsram a edi kan no mu da a edi kan no, na nsu no atwe afi asase no so. Enti Noa yii Adaka no suhyɛ no, na ohuu sɛ asase so awo.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dry.
Ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a ɛto so aduonu ason so no na asase no so woo koraa.
15 So then, God spake to Noah, saying:
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa se,
16 Come forth out of the ark, —thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
“Wo ne wo yere ne wo mmabarima ne wɔn yerenom mfi Adaka no mu mpue.
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.
Yi abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a wɔwɔ wo nkyɛn, a ɛyɛ nnomaa, mmoa ne mmoa a wɔnam asase so nyinaa fi Adaka no mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn ase bɛdɔ wɔ asase so.”
18 So Noah came forth, —and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
Enti Noa ne ne mmabarima ne ne yere ne ne mmabarima yerenom fii Adaka no mu.
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.
Mmoa no nyinaa ne abɔde a wɔnam asase so nyinaa ne nnomaa nyinaa ne biribiara a ɛnam asase so nyinaa fii Adaka no mu saa ara mmaako mmaako.
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.
Na Noa sii afɔremuka maa Awurade. Ɔfaa mmoa ne nnomaa a wɔn ho tew, de bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so.
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.
Awurade tee afɔre a Noa bɔe no huam no, ɔkaa wɔ ne koma mu se, “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ bɔne ahyɛ onipa koma ma fi ne mmofraase de, nanso merenni onipa akyi nnome asase bio. Na merensɛe abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu bio sɛnea mayɛ yi.
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.
“Mmere dodow a asase da so wɔ hɔ yi, ogu ne otwa, awɔw ne ahuhuru, asusow ne ɔpɛ, awia ne anadwo to rentwa da.”
