Genesis 8
1 And god remebred Noe and all ye beastes and all ye catell yt were with hi in ye arke And god made a wynde to blow vppo ye erth and ye waters ceased:
Mungu akamkumbuka Noa na wanyama wote wa porini na wa kufugwa waliokuwa naye ndani ya safina, akatuma upepo ukavuma katika dunia, nayo maji yakaondoka.
2 ad ye fountaynes of the depe ad the wyndowes of heave were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbidde
Zile chemchemi zilizo chini sana ya ardhi pamoja na malango ya mafuriko ya mbinguni yakawa yamefungwa nayo mvua ikawa imekoma kunyesha kutoka angani.
3 and the waters returned from of ye erth ad abated after the ende of an hundred and. l. dayes.
Maji yakaendelea kupungua taratibu katika nchi. Kunako mwisho wa siku ya 150, maji yalikuwa yamepungua,
4 And the arke rested vppo the mountayns of Ararat the. xvij. daye of the. vij. moneth.
katika siku ya kumi na saba ya mwezi wa saba, safina ikatua katika milima ya Ararati.
5 And the waters went away ad decreased vntyll the x. moneth. And the fyrst daye of the tenth moneth the toppes of the mounteyns appered.
Maji yakaendelea kupungua hadi mwezi wa kumi, na siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kumi, vilele vya milima vikaonekana.
6 And after the ende of. xl. dayes. Noe opened the wyndow of the arke which he had made
Baada ya siku arobaini Noa akafungua dirisha alilokuwa amelifanya katika safina
7 ad sent forth a raven which went out ever goinge and cominge agayne vntyll the waters were dreyed vpp vppon the erth
na akamtoa kunguru, akawa akiruka kwenda na kurudi mpaka maji yalipokwisha kukauka juu ya nchi.
8 Then sent he forth a doue from hym to wete whether the waters were fallen from of the erth.
Kisha akamtoa hua ili aone kama maji yameondoka juu ya uso wa ardhi.
9 And when the doue coude fynde no restinge place for hyr fote she returned to him agayne vnto the arke for the waters were vppon the face of all the erth. And he put out hys honde and toke her and pulled hyr to hym in to the arke
Lakini hua hakupata mahali pa kutua kwa kuwa maji yalienea juu ya uso wa dunia yote, kwa hiyo akarudi kwa Noa ndani ya safina. Noa akanyoosha mkono akamchukua yule hua akamrudisha ndani ya safina.
10 And he abode yet. vij. dayes mo and sent out the doue agayne out of the arke
Noa akangojea siku saba zaidi kisha akamtoa tena hua kutoka safina.
11 And the doue came to hym agayne aboute eventyde and beholde: There was in hyr mouth a lefe of an olyve tre which she had plucked wherby Noe perceaved that the waters wer abated vppon the erth.
Wakati hua aliporejea kwa Noa jioni, alikuwa amechukua katika mdomo wake jani bichi la mzeituni, lililochumwa wakati ule ule! Ndipo Noa akajua ya kuwa maji yameondoka juu ya uso wa dunia.
12 And he taried yet. vij. other dayes and sent forth the doue which from thence forth came no more agayne to him.
Akangojea siku saba zaidi na akamtuma tena hua, lakini wakati huu hua hakurudi tena kwa Noa.
13 And it came to passe the syxte hundred and one yere and the fyrst daye of the fyrst moneth that the waters were dryed vpp apon the erth. And Noe toke off the hatches of the arke and loked: And beholde the face of the erth was drye.
Katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza ya mwaka 601, wa kuishi kwake Noa, maji yalikuwa yamekauka duniani. Kisha Noa akafungua mlango wa safina akaona ya kuwa uso wa ardhi ulikuwa umekauka.
14 so by the. xxvij. daye of the seconde moneth the erth was drye.
Katika siku ya ishirini na saba ya mwezi wa pili dunia ilikuwa imekauka kabisa.
15 And God spake vnto Noe saynge:
Ndipo Mungu akamwambia Noa,
16 come out of the arcke both thou and thy wyfe ad thy sonnes and thy sonnes wyues with the.
“Toka ndani ya safina, wewe na mkeo na wanao na wake zao.
17 And all the beastes that are with the whatsoever flesh it be both foule and catell and all maner wormes that crepe on the erth brynge out with the and let them moue growe ad multiplye vppon the erth.
Utoe nje kila aina ya kiumbe hai aliye pamoja nawe: Ndege, wanyama na viumbe vyote vitambaavyo juu ya ardhi, ili wakazae, na kuongezeka na kuijaza tena dunia.”
18 And Noe came out ad his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyues with hym.
Kwa hiyo Noa akatoka nje pamoja na mkewe, wanawe na wake zao.
19 And all the beastes and all the wormes and all the foules and all that moved vppon the erth came also out of the arke all of one kynde together.
Wanyama wote na viumbe vyote vitambaavyo juu ya ardhi na ndege wote, kila kitu kiendacho juu ya nchi, aina moja baada ya nyingine vikatoka katika safina, kila aina ya kiumbe, kimoja baada ya kingine.
20 And Noe made an aulter vnto the LORDE and toke of all maner of clene beastes and all maner of clene foules and offred sacrifyce vppon the aulter.
Kisha Noa akamjengea Bwana madhabahu, akachukua baadhi ya wale wanyama na ndege wote walio safi, akatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa juu ya madhabahu.
21 And the LORDE smellyd a swete savoure and sayd in his hert: I wyll henceforth no more curse the erth for mannes sake for the imagynacion of mannes hert is evell even from the very youth of hym. Morover I wyll not destroy from henceforth all that lyveth as I haue done.
Bwana akasikia harufu nzuri ya kupendeza, naye akasema moyoni mwake, “Kamwe sitailaani tena ardhi kwa sababu ya mwanadamu, hata ingawa kila mwelekeo wa moyo wake ni mbaya tangu ujana. Kamwe sitaangamiza tena viumbe hai vyote kama nilivyofanya.
22 Nether shall sowynge tyme and harvest colde and hete somere and wynter daye and nyghte ceasse as longe as the erth endureth.
“Kwa muda dunia idumupo, wakati wa kupanda na wa kuvuna, wakati wa baridi na wa joto, wakati wa kiangazi na wa masika, usiku na mchana kamwe havitakoma.”
