< Genesis 8 >

1 And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which [are] with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,
Te Lamatualain nda liliiꞌ Noh se ro basa banda mana sia ofai a. Naa de, Ana fee anin fuu nareꞌe oe mandaliꞌ a.
2 and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.
Ana o tatana basa oe mataꞌ sia raefafoꞌ a, ma naloeꞌ udan mia lalai a.
3 And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
Boe ma oeꞌ a namakura. Basa fula lima ma, oeꞌ a nda naruꞌ naeꞌ sa ena.
4 And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
Ndaa no fula ka hitu na, fai sanahulu hitu ma, ofai a hara sia leteꞌ naruꞌ sa ata, nara na Ararat.
5 and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.
Basa ma, oeꞌ a reꞌe nakandoo. Fula ka sanahulu na, fai ka esa na ma, mbuku-leteꞌ ra tonggo nara sou.
6 And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,
Seli fai haa nulu ma, Noh soi ofai a jandela na esa.
7 and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.
Ana mboꞌi mbui kaaꞌ esa. Mbuiꞌ naa natambele neu-nema losa oe mandali monaeꞌ a reꞌe tebꞌe ena. Ana nda baliꞌ ofai neu sa.
8 And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
Boe ma, Noh mboꞌi mbui lunda esa, fo nae nahine oeꞌ a reꞌe tebꞌe, do feꞌe hokoꞌ.
9 and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.
Te huu oeꞌ a feꞌe ndule raefafoꞌ, de mbuiꞌ a nda hambu mamana teteeꞌ sa. De ana baliꞌ ofai neu. Noh loo lima na, de simbo nala baliꞌ mbuiꞌ a ofai rala neu.
10 And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;
Noh nahati fai hitu fai, dei de ana mboꞌi seluꞌ mbuiꞌ a.
11 and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.
Bꞌobꞌo naa ma, mbuiꞌ a baliꞌ seluꞌ nisiꞌ Noh, nendi saitun rooꞌ esa, fo ana feꞌe bito nala naa. Dei de, Noh bubꞌuluꞌ oeꞌ a meti tetebꞌes ena.
12 And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.
Ana nahati fai hitu fai, de mboꞌi seluꞌ mbui lunda a. Te ia naa, mbuiꞌ a nda baliꞌ sa.
13 And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.
Noh too natun nee esa, ndaa no fai ka esa fula ka esa na ma, oeꞌ a meti tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ ena. Boe ma, Noh soi ofai a jandela na, de mete rereoꞌ ma nita rae a madꞌa ena.
14 And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.
Fula ka rua na, fai ka sanahulu hitu na ma, rae a madꞌa tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ ena.
15 And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, 'Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ no Noh nae,
16 every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;
“Noh! Basa nggi onda mia ofai a leo.
17 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'
Soi basa banda ra dea reu! Soi basa banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, no mbuiꞌ ra. Naa fo, basa se boe ramahefu, fo rasofe raefafoꞌ ia.”
18 And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;
Basa de, Noh no sao na, ma ana nara, ma ana feto feu nara, dea reu mia ofai a. Basa banda ra o, dea reu, esa-esaꞌ no nonoo na.
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.
20 And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;
Basa naa ma, Noh lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee LAMATUALAIN. Noh haꞌi nala banda beꞌe esaꞌ, mia basa banda fo bisa tao dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana mbau hala se, ma tunu se sia mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ a, fo dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee LAMATUALAIN.
21 and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, 'I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;
LAMATUALAIN hae nala tutunu-hohotuꞌ a maꞌafo meni na ma, rala Na namahoꞌo. De Ana duꞌa nae, “Mia faiꞌ ia, Au nda afiꞌ huku-doki raefafoꞌ a huu atahori deꞌulaka na sa. Onaꞌ mae ara duꞌa akaꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ o, Au nda afiꞌ tao ulutu basa masodꞌa ra sa, onaꞌ Au taoꞌ basaꞌ a ena.
22 during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'
Mete ma raefafoꞌ a feꞌe sia, naa, fula-faiꞌ ia ra basa se laoꞌ rakandoo, tungga dala nara. Fula-fai sela-nggariꞌ no fula-fai etu-oruꞌ, fula-fai maꞌasufuꞌ no fula-fai matobꞌiꞌ, fula-fai relo-ai no fula-fai udꞌa-oeꞌ, ma rereloꞌ no tetembaꞌ, basa se lao tungga dala nara.”
