< Genesis 8 >

1 But God (did not forget/thought) about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water [to begin] to recede.
Be Gode da Nowa: , ohe fi amola lai gebo fi dusagai ganodini esalu, amo hame gogolei. E da fo amo osobo bagadega asunasi. Amalalu, hano da halalu.
2 God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.
Hano hagudu dialu amo ea logo amola mu ea logo ga: si dagoi ba: i. Gibu da muagado dasu logo ga: i.
3 The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
Hano da osobo bagade yolesili halalu. Eso 150 da dagoloba, hano da hai dagoi ba: i.
4 (on the 17th day of the seventh month [of that year/late in March]), the boat came to rest on one of the mountains in the Ararat region.
Eso 17 amola oubi fesu amoga, dusagai da A: lala: de Goumi amo da: iya ligisibi ba: i.
5 The water continued to recede until, on the first day of the tenth month [of that year], the tops of other mountains became visible.
Hano da mae yolesili hala dalu. Amalalu eso age amola oubi nabu amoga, goumi ilia dabuagado bi da ba: i dagoi.
6 40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
Eso 40 asili, Nowa: da fo misa: ne agenesi, e musa: hamoi liligi amo doasi.
7 The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
E da sio ea dio amo ‘la: ifene’, amo gadili asunasi. Amo sio da wa: le asili lalalu, hano da hafoga: i dagoiba: le fawane yolesi.
8 Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on the ground.
Amalalu, Nowa: da ‘dafe’ sio amo hano ea hasu hou ba: ma: ne asunasi.
9 But the dove did not find any place to perch, so it flew back to Noah in the boat, because there was still water all over the surface of the earth. So Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back inside the boat.
Be hano da osobo huluane dedeboiba: le, ‘dafe’ da fila sa: imu gogolei. Amaiba: le, e da Nowa: dusagai ganodini ema buhagi. Nowa: da ea lobo da: legale amola dafe laleguda: le, dusagai ganodini bu sanasi.
10 Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
E da eso eno fesuale amo aligili, ‘dafe’ bu asunasi.
11 This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, [surprisingly], in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground.
‘Dafe’ da daeya amo ema bu misini, e da olife ifa lubi mini manebe ba: i. Amalalu, hano da hai dagoi, amo Nowa: da dawa: i galu.
12 Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
E da eso eno fesuale amo aligili, ‘dafe’ bu asunasi. Be amo esoga ‘dafe’ da ema hame buhagi.
13 Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month [of the Jewish year], the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying.
Eso age aligili, oubi age amo ode ganodini Nowa: da lalelegele, ea esalebe ode 601 amo gidigisia, hano da hai dagoi amola osobo bagade da hafoga: i dagoi ba: i. Nowa: da dusagai ea gisigisu fadegale, osobo da hafoga: i dagoi ba: i.
14 By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
Eso No 27 amo oubi ageyadu amoga, osobo bagade da hafoga: idafa ba: i.
15 Then God said to Noah,
Amalalu, Gode da Nowa: ma amane sia: i,
16 “Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
“Di, dia uda, dia egefelali amola ilia uda, amo dusagai yolesili, osoboga aligila sa: ima!
17 Bring out with you all the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that scurry across the ground, in order that they can spread all over the earth and become very numerous.”
Esalebe liligi dia ouligisu amo sio, ohe fi amola liligi da osoboga sugi ahoa, ilia da fi hamone osobo bagade bu nabama: ne, amo gadili oule masa.
18 So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
Amaiba: le, Nowa: , egefe udiana, ea uda, amola egefelali ilia udalali, da gadili asili, osoboga aligila sa: i.
19 And every kind of creature, including all those that scurry across the ground, all the birds, every creature that moves on the earth, left the boat. They left the boat in groups of their own species.
Ohe fi huluane amola liligi da osoboga sugi ahoasu amola sio fi huluane- liligi huluane osobo bagadega ahoanebe liligi da dusagai yolesili gadili asi. Ilia fi hisu hisu gilisisu hamone, gadili asi.
20 Then Noah built a (stone altar/place for offering sacrifices) to Yahweh. Then he took some of the animals that Yahweh had said were acceptable as sacrifices and killed them. Then he burned them whole on the altar.
Amalalu, Nowa: da Hina Godema oloda hamoi. E da ledo hamedei ohe fi amola sio fi lale, gobele sali.
21 When Yahweh smelled the pleasant odor, he was pleased with the sacrifice. Then he said to himself, “I will never again devastate everything on the earth because of the sinful things people do. Even though everything that people think is evil from the time they are young, I will not destroy all the living creatures again, as I did this time.
Hina Gode da amo gobele salasu ea gabusiga: nabi. E da Ea dogo ganodini agoane sia: i, “Osobo bagade dunu da degabo ea mano fonobahadi eso amola fa: no eso huluane wadela: i hou fawane dawa: lala. Be ea hou ba: beba: le, Na da hobea osobo bagadega gagabusu aligima: ne hame ilegemu. Amola esalebe liligi huluane Na waha medole legei dagoi, amo hou Na da bu hamedafa hamomu.
22 As long as the earth exists, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.”
Osobo bagade da dialea, hawa: bugisu amola ha: i manu faisu, anegagi amola gia: su, esoi bagade oubi amola anegagi oubi amola, eso amola gasi da mae dagole dialumu.
