1 Mawu meŋlɔ Noa kple lã siwo katã nɔ aɖakaʋu la me be o. Ena ya aɖe ƒo to tsi la dzi, eye tsiɖɔɖɔ la de asi miemie me,

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:

2 elabena tsi si ŋɔ tso tome la nu tso, eye tsidzadza la ke.

ad ye fountaynes of the depe ad the wyndowes of heave were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbidde

3 Tsi la de asi miemie me vivivi le anyigba dzi. Le ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃lia ƒe nuwuwu la, tsi la mie keŋ,

and the waters returned from of ye erth ad abated after the ende of an hundred and. l. dayes.

4 eye le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiadrelia gbe la, aɖakaʋu la va tɔ ɖe Ararat toawo tame.

And the arke rested vppo the mountayns of Ararat the. xvij. daye of the. vij. moneth.

5 Le ɣleti ewolia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ gbe, esime tsiɖɔɖɔ la ganɔ miemiem ɖe edzi kokoko la, to bubuwo hã tame de asi dzedze me.

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.

6 Le ŋkeke blaene bubu megbe la, Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la ƒe fesre ɖeka,

And after the ende of. xl. dayes. Noe opened the wyndow of the arke which he had made

7 eye wòɖe asi le akpaviã ɖeka ŋu. Akpaviã la dzo tso afii yi afi mɛ va se ɖe esime anyigba ƒu.

ad sent forth a raven which went out ever goinge and cominge agayne vntyll the waters were dreyed vpp vppon the erth

8 Noa ɖo ahɔnɛ aɖe ɖa be ate ŋu akpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui mahã.

Then sent he forth a doue from hym to wete whether the waters were fallen from of the erth.

9 Ke ahɔnɛ la mekpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui aɖeke, afi si wòadze ɖo o, ale wòtrɔ gbɔ, elabena tsi ganɔ anyigba dzi ko. Ale Noa do asi ɖa, eye wòlé ahɔnɛ la gade aɖakaʋu la me.

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

10 Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, Noa gaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu.

And he abode yet. vij. dayes mo and sent out the doue agayne out of the arke

11 Azɔ la, ahɔnɛ la trɔ gbɔ le fiẽ me, eye wòlé amitiŋgba ɖe nu. Ale Noa dze sii be esusɔ vie tsi la namie keŋkeŋ.

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.

12 Egaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu le kɔsiɖa ɖeka megbe, eye ahɔnɛ la megatrɔ gbɔ o.

And he taried yet. vij. other dayes and sent forth the doue which from thence forth came no more agayne to him.

13 Ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ va yi. Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la, eye wòkpɔ be tsi la mie keŋkeŋ azɔ.

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.

14 Kɔsiɖa enyi gava yi. Anyigba ƒu azɔ mlɔeba.

so by the. xxvij. daye of the seconde moneth the erth was drye.

15 Tete Mawu gblɔ na Noa be,

And God spake vnto Noe saynge:

16 “Wò kple srɔ̃wò kple viwò ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃wo mido le aɖakaʋu la me.

come out of the arcke both thou and thy wyfe ad thy sonnes and thy sonnes wyues with the.

17 Ɖe nu gbagbe bubu ɖe sia ɖe si le gbɔwò: xeviawo, lãawo kple nu gbagbe siwo tana la katã do go le aɖakaʋu la me, ale be woagate ŋu adzi asɔ gbɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.”

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.

18 Ale Noa do go kple srɔ̃a kple via ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃awo.

And Noe came out ad his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyues with hym.

19 Lãawo katã kple nu gbagbe siwo tana kple xevi ɖe sia ɖe kple nu sia nu si ʋãna le anyigba dzi la do go tso aɖakaʋu la me ɖe wo nɔewo yome hamehame.

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.

20 Esia megbe la, Noa ɖi vɔsamlekpui, eye wòsa vɔ le edzi na Yehowa kple lã kple xevi siwo dzi Yehowa da asi ɖo hena vɔsasa la dometɔ aɖewo.

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.

21 Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le vɔsa la ŋu, eye wògblɔ na eɖokui be, “Nyemagaƒo fi ade anyigba o, eye nyemagatsrɔ̃ nu gbagbewo katã le edzi azɔ o, togbɔ be amegbetɔ ƒe dzɔdzɔme henɛ dea nu vɔ̃ me tso keke eƒe ɖevime ke, eye wòwɔa nu vɔ̃wo tsyo ƒomevi gɔ̃ hã.

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.

22 Zi ale si anyigba aganɔ anyi ko la, nuƒãɣi kple nuŋeɣi, vuvɔŋɔli kple fifiawɔɣi, pepime kple dzomeŋɔli, ŋkeke kple zã aganɔ anyi kokoko.”

Nether shall sowynge tyme and harvest colde and hete somere and wynter daye and nyghte ceasse as longe as the erth endureth.
