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 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 Nacio ithima cia kũrĩa kũriku na ihingo cia mũiyũro wa igũrũ ikĩhingwo, nayo mbura ĩgĩtiga kuura.
and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.
3 Namo maaĩ magĩthiĩ makĩhũũaga, magĩthiraga thĩ. Thuutha wa matukũ igana na mĩrongo ĩtano-rĩ, maaĩ magĩkorwo manyihanyiihĩte,
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 naguo mũthenya wa ikũmi na mũgwanja wa mweri wa mũgwanja, thabina ĩkĩrũgama irĩma-inĩ cia Ararati.
And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on 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 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 Na thuutha wa matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, Nuhu akĩhingũra ndirica ĩrĩa aakĩte thabina-inĩ,
And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,
7 na akĩrekereria ihuru na nja, narĩo rĩgĩtũũra rĩũmbũkaga kũndũ na kũndũ o nginya rĩrĩa maaĩ maahũire thĩ.
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 Ningĩ akĩrekereria ndutura ĩthiĩ ĩkarore kana maaĩ nĩmahũĩte gũkũ thĩ.
And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened 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.
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 Ningĩ agĩeterera matukũ mangĩ mũgwanja, na maathira akĩrekereria ndutura rĩngĩ yume nja ya thabina.
And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from 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 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 Nuhu agĩeterera matukũ mangĩ mũgwanja, agĩcooka akĩrekereria ndutura ĩyo yume nja rĩngĩ, no hĩndĩ ĩno ndĩigana kũmũcookerera.
And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back 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 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 Gũgĩkinya mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja wa mweri wa keerĩ-rĩ, thĩ nĩyaniarĩte biũ.
And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.
15 Ningĩ Ngai akĩĩra Nuhu atĩrĩ,
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 “Uma thabina, wee na mũtumia waku, na ariũ aku na atumia ao.
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 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.”
and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nuhu akiuma thabina hamwe na ariũ ake, na mũtumia wake, na atumia a ariũ ake.
And Noah goeth out, 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; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from 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 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 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 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 “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.”
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.'
