Mose 1 8
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 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,
2 elabena tsi si ŋɔ tso tome la nu tso, eye tsidzadza la ke.
and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.
3 Tsi la de asi miemie me vivivi le anyigba dzi. Le ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃lia ƒe nuwuwu la, tsi la mie keŋ,
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.
4 eye le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiadrelia gbe la, aɖakaʋu la va tɔ ɖe Ararat toawo tame.
And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
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 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.
6 Le ŋkeke blaene bubu megbe la, Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la ƒe fesre ɖeka,
And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,
7 eye wòɖe asi le akpaviã ɖeka ŋu. Akpaviã la dzo tso afii yi afi mɛ va se ɖe esime anyigba ƒu.
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.
8 Noa ɖo ahɔnɛ aɖe ɖa be ate ŋu akpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui mahã.
And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
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 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.
10 Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, Noa gaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu.
And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;
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 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.
12 Egaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu le kɔsiɖa ɖeka megbe, eye ahɔnɛ la megatrɔ gbɔ o.
And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.
13 Ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ va yi. Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la, eye wòkpɔ be tsi la mie keŋkeŋ azɔ.
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.
14 Kɔsiɖa enyi gava yi. Anyigba ƒu azɔ mlɔeba.
And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.
15 Tete Mawu gblɔ na Noa be,
And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, 'Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;
16 “Wò kple srɔ̃wò kple viwò ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃wo mido le aɖakaʋu la me.
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;
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 they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'
18 Ale Noa do go kple srɔ̃a kple via ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃awo.
And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;
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.
every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.
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 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;
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 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;
22 Zi ale si anyigba aganɔ anyi ko la, nuƒãɣi kple nuŋeɣi, vuvɔŋɔli kple fifiawɔɣi, pepime kple dzomeŋɔli, ŋkeke kple zã aganɔ anyi kokoko.”
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.'
