< Genesis 8 >

1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
Ary Andriamanitra nahatsiaro an’ i Noa mbamin’ ny bibi-dia rehetra ary ny biby fiompy rehetra, izay niara-nitoetra taminy tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara; ary Andriamanitra nampandeha rivotra eran’ ny tany, ka dia nihena ny rano.
2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
Ary tampina ny loharanon’ ny lalina sy ny varavaran’ ny lanitra, ka nitsahatra ilay ranonorana nivatravatra avy tany an-danitra.
3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
Ary nihena niandalana niala tamin’ ny tany ny rano; ary rehefa afaka dimam-polo amby zato andro, dia efa nihena ny rano.
4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
Dia nipetraka teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra any Ararata ny sambo-fiara tamin’ ny andro fahafito ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana fahafito.
5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
Ary ny rano dia mbola nihena niandalana hatramin’ ny volana fahafolo; tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahafolo dia niseho ny tampon’ ny tendrombohitra.
6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
Ary rehefa afaka efa-polo andro, dia novohan’ i Noa ny varavarankelin’ ny sambo-fiara izay efa nataony.
7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
Dia namoaka goaika anankiray izy, ary niverimberina mandra-paharitry ny rano tamin’ ny tany iny.
8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
Dia namoaka voromailala anankiray izay teo aminy izy, hizahany na efa kely ny rano tambonin’ ny tany, na tsia.
9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
Fa tsy hitan’ ilay voromailala izay hipetrahan’ ny faladiany, dia niverina tamin’ i Noa tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara izy, satria mbola nisy rano tambonin’ ny tany rehetra; ary Noa naninjitra ny tànany ka nandray sy nampiditra azy ho ao aminy tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara.
10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
Ary mbola niandry hafitoana koa izy; dia namoaka ilay voromailala tamin’ ny sambo-fiara indray izy.
11 The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
Dia niditra teo aminy ilay voromailala nony hariva ny andro; ary, indro, nisy ravin’ oliva maitso teo am-bavany; izany no nahafantaran’ i Noa fa efa kely ny rano tambonin’ ny tany.
12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
Ary mbola niandry hafitoana indray izy, dia namoaka ilay voromailala; ary tsy niverina teo aminy intsony iny.
13 In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana voalohany tamin’ ny taona fahiraika amby enin-jato, dia ritra ny rano teo ambonin’ ny tany; ary nanaisotra ny tafon’ ny sambo-fiara Noa ka nijery, ary, indro, efa maina ny tany.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana faharoa, dia maina ny tany.
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
Ary Andriamanitra dia niteny tamin’ i Noa ka nanao hoe:
16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
Mivoaha amin’ ny sambo-fiara ianao sy ny vadinao aman-janakao ary ny vinantonao vavy miaraka aminao.
17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
Ary ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra, izay eo aminao, avy tamin’ ny nofo rehetra, dia ny vorona sy ny biby fiompy sy ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany, dia ento mivoaka miaraka aminao; ary aoka hiteraka be eny ambonin’ ny tany sy ho maro anaka ary hihabetsaka eny ambonin’ ny tany ireny.
18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
Dia nivoaka Noa mbamin’ ny vadiny aman-janany ary ny vinantonivavy niaraka taminy;
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
Ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra sy ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka ary ny vorona rehetra mbamin’ izay rehetra mihetsiketsika eny ambonin’ ny tany dia samy nivoaka avy tao amin’ ny sambo-fiara araka ny karazany.
20 Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Ary Noa dia nanorina alitara ho an’ i Jehovah; ary ny biby madio rehetra sy ny vorona madio rehetra dia nanalany ka nataony fanatitra odorana teo ambonin’ ny alitara.
21 The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.
Dia nandre ny hanitra ankasitrahana Jehovah, ka hoy Izy tam-pony: Tsy mba hanozona ny tany intsony noho ny amin’ ny olona Aho; fa ny fisainan’ ny fon’ ny olona dia ratsy hatramin’ ny fahazazany; ary tsy mba handringana ny velona rehetra intsony Aho tahaka izay nataoko.
22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
Raha mbola maharitra koa ny tany, dia tsy hanam-pitsaharana ny taom-pamafazana sy ny taom-pijinjana, ary ny hatsiaka sy ny hafanana ary ny fahavaratra sy ny ririnina, ary ny andro sy ny alina.
