Kĩambĩrĩria 8
1 No rĩrĩ, Ngai nĩaririkanire Nuhu o hamwe na nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka o na mahiũ marĩa mothe aarĩ namo thĩinĩ wa thabina, na agĩtũma rũhuho rũhurutane gũkũ thĩ, namo maaĩ makĩambĩrĩria kũhũa.
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 assuaged;
2 Nacio ithima cia kũrĩa kũriku na ihingo cia mũiyũro wa igũrũ ikĩhingwo, nayo mbura ĩgĩtiga kuura.
the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 Namo maaĩ magĩthiĩ makĩhũũaga, magĩthiraga thĩ. Thuutha wa matukũ igana na mĩrongo ĩtano-rĩ, maaĩ magĩkorwo manyihanyiihĩte,
and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of an hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 naguo mũthenya wa ikũmi na mũgwanja wa mweri wa mũgwanja, thabina ĩkĩrũgama irĩma-inĩ cia Ararati.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 Maaĩ macio magĩthiĩ na mbere na kũhũa o nginya mweri wa ikũmi, na mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa ikũmi-rĩ, tũcũmbĩrĩ twa irĩma tũkĩambĩrĩria kuoneka.
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 Na thuutha wa matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, Nuhu akĩhingũra ndirica ĩrĩa aakĩte thabina-inĩ,
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 na akĩrekereria ihuru na nja, narĩo rĩgĩtũũra rĩũmbũkaga kũndũ na kũndũ o nginya rĩrĩa maaĩ maahũire thĩ.
and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Ningĩ akĩrekereria ndutura ĩthiĩ ĩkarore kana maaĩ nĩmahũĩte gũkũ thĩ.
And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 No ndutura ĩyo ndĩonire handũ ha kũũmba tondũ thĩ yothe yaiyũrĩtwo nĩ maaĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩgĩcooka thabina-inĩ kũrĩ Nuhu. Nake agĩtambũrũkia guoko akĩmĩoya, akĩmĩtoonyia thabina thĩinĩ kũu we aarĩ.
but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
10 Ningĩ agĩeterera matukũ mangĩ mũgwanja, na maathira akĩrekereria ndutura rĩngĩ yume nja ya thabina.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 Rĩrĩa ndutura ĩyo yamũcookereire hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, yakuuĩte ithangũ rĩa mũtamaiyũ na mũkanye wayo, rĩatuĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo! Nuhu agĩkĩmenya atĩ maaĩ nĩmahũĩte thĩ.
and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Nuhu agĩeterera matukũ mangĩ mũgwanja, agĩcooka akĩrekereria ndutura ĩyo yume nja rĩngĩ, no hĩndĩ ĩno ndĩigana kũmũcookerera.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
13 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa mbere, mweri wa mbere wa mwaka ũrĩa Nuhu akinyirie mĩaka magana matandatũ na ũmwe-rĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩguo maaĩ maahũire biũ gũkũ thĩ. Nake Nuhu akĩeheria kĩrĩa kĩagitĩte thabina, agĩkĩona atĩ thĩ nĩyaniarĩte.
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
14 Gũgĩkinya mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja wa mweri wa keerĩ-rĩ, thĩ nĩyaniarĩte biũ.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
15 Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ,
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 “Uma thabina, wee na mũtumia waku, na ariũ aku na atumia ao.
Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17 Hingũrĩra mĩthemba yothe ya ciũmbe iria irĩ muoyo icio ũrĩ nacio: irĩ nyoni, na nyamũ, na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, nĩgeetha ciongerereke thĩ, na iciarane cingĩhe gũkũ thĩ.”
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both fowl, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nuhu akiuma thabina hamwe na ariũ ake, na mũtumia wake, na atumia a ariũ ake.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
19 Nyamũ ciothe na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, na nyoni ciothe, na kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩthiiagĩra gũkũ thĩ, ciothe cikiuma thabina, mũthemba o mũthemba.
every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 Nake Nuhu agĩakĩra Jehova kĩgongona, na akĩoya nyamũ imwe cia iria ciothe itarĩ thaahu, na nyoni iria itarĩ thaahu, akĩrutĩra Ngai igongona rĩa njino ho.
And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 Nake Jehova agĩkenio nĩ mũtararĩko ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ na ngoro yake: “Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaacooka kũruma thĩ rĩngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ, o na gũtuĩka merirĩria ma ngoro yake nĩ mooru kuuma ũnini-inĩ wake. Na ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaacooka kũniina ciũmbe ciothe iria irĩ muoyo ta ũguo njĩkĩte.
And the LORD smelled the sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for that the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 “Mahinda mothe marĩa thĩ ĩgũtũũra-rĩ, kũrĩkoragwo na hĩndĩ ya kũhaanda na ya magetha, na hĩndĩ ya heho na ya ũrugarĩ, na hĩndĩ ya themithũ na ya gathano, na mũthenya na ũtukũ.”
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
