Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters abated;
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 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
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 continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
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, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Nʼụbọchị iri na asaa nke ọnwa asaa, ụgbọ mmiri ahụ gara nọkwasị nʼelu ugwu Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually till the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
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 which he had made:
Mgbe iri ụbọchị anọ gafere, Noa meghere oghereikuku ọ rụnyere nʼakụkụ ụgbọ mmiri ahụ,
7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, till the waters were dried from off the earth.
site nʼebe ahụ zipụ otu ugolọma nke na-efepụ na-efebatakwa, tutu ruo mgbe mmiri kọrọ nʼelu ala.
8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were 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 rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to 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 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụrụ nduru ahụ ọzọ
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were 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 other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again to him any more.
Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụkwara nduru ahụ ọzọ. Ma nʼoge a, ọ lọtakwaghị ọzọ.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
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 seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị iri abụọ na asaa nke ọnwa abụọ ka mmiri ji takọrọchaa nʼelu ala.
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke gwara Noa okwu sị ya,
16 Go forth from 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 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly on 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 And Noah went 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 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went 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 built an altar to the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings 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 the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more 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 While the earth remaineth, 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.”
