Jenèz 8
1 Men, Bondye vin chonje Noe ansanm ak tout bèt bwa ak zannimo domestik ki te avè l' nan batiman an. Bondye fè yon van soufle sou latè, epi dlo yo konmanse bese.
And God remembers Noah, and every living thing, and all the livestock which [are] with him in the Ark, and God causes a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,
2 Sous dlo ki nan fon lanmè a te sispann bay dlo. Syèl la sispann bay dlo tou. Lapli sispann tonbe.
and the fountains of the deep and the network of the heavens are closed, and the shower is restrained from the heavens.
3 Dlo yo menm t'ap bese, yo t'ap bese piti piti. Se sou sansenkant (150) jou dlo yo te konmanse bese.
And the waters return from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of one hundred and fifty days.
4 Sou sis mwa disèt jou, batiman an fè tè sou tèt mòn Arara yo.
And the Ark rests, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
5 Dlo yo t'ap bese toujou jouk sou dizyèm mwa a. Sou premye jou dizyèm mwa a, tèt mòn yo parèt.
and the waters have been going and decreasing until the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the heads of the mountains appeared.
6 Karant jou apre sa, Noe louvri fennèt li te fè nan batiman an.
And it comes to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opens the window of the Ark which he made,
7 Li lage yon kònèy. Kònèy la soti. li ale vini, li ale vini jouk dlo a te fin cheche nèt sou latè.
and he sends forth the raven, and it goes out, going out and turning back until the drying of the waters from off the earth.
8 Apre sa, li lage yon pijon, pou l' wè si dlo a te fin bese sou tè a.
And he sends forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
9 Men, pijon an pa t' jwenn kote pou l' poze. Li tounen vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, paske te gen dlo sou tout latè toujou. Noe lonje men l', li pran pijon an, li fè l' antre nan batiman an ankò.
and the dove has not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turns back to him, to the Ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he puts out his hand, and takes her, and brings her in to him, into the Ark.
10 Li tann sèt jou pase. Apre sa, li lage pijon an yon dezyèm fwa, li fè l' soti nan batiman an.
And he stays yet seven more days, and adds to send forth the dove from the Ark;
11 Vè aswè konsa, pijon an tounen vin jwenn li. Men, fwa sa a, li te gen yon fèy oliv tout vèt nan bèk li. Konsa, Noe vin konnen dlo a te bese sou tout latè.
and the dove comes to him at evening, and behold, an olive leaf [is] torn off in her mouth; and Noah knows that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.
12 Li tann sèt jou pase anvan li lage pijon an ankò. Fwa sa a menm pijon an pa t' tounen vin jwenn li ankò.
And he stays yet seven more days, and sends forth the dove, and it did not add to return to him anymore.
13 Se konsa, lè Noe te gen sisan ennan (601 an), nan premye jou premye mwa lanne jwif yo, dlo a te fin bese nèt sou latè. Noe dekouvri batiman an, li voye je l' gade, li wè tout tè a te chèch.
And it comes to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turns aside the covering of the Ark, and looks, and behold, the face of the ground has been dried.
14 Sou vennsetyèm jou dezyèm mwa a, tè a te fin chèch nèt.
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth has become dry.
15 Lè sa a, Bondye di Noe:
And God speaks to Noah, saying, “Go out from the Ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you;
16 -Soti nan batiman an, ou menm, madanm ou, pitit ou yo ansanm ak madanm pitit ou yo.
every living thing that [is] with you, of all flesh, among bird, and among livestock, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with you;
17 Fè tout bèt yo soti tout ansanm avèk ou, zwazo yo, zannimo domestik yo, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant yo. Se pou yo fè pitit, fè anpil pitit pou mete sou tè a ankò.
and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.”
18 Se konsa Noe soti nan batiman an ansanm ak madanm li, pitit li yo ak madanm pitit li yo.
And Noah goes out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him;
19 tout bèt bwa yo, tout zannimo domestik yo, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant yo, tout zwazo yo, yo tout yo soti nan batiman an tou.
every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the Ark.
20 Noe bati yon lotèl. Li pran yonn nan chak kalite bèt ak zwazo ki bon pou moun manje, li touye yo, li boule yo nèt sou lotèl la.
And Noah builds an altar to YHWH, and takes from every clean beast and from every clean bird, and causes burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;
21 Lè Bondye pran bon sant lan, sa te fè l' plezi. Li di nan kè l' -Mwen p'ap janm bay tè a madichon ankò poutèt sa lèzòm fè, paske depi yo jenn, se move lide ase ki nan kè yo. Mwen p'ap janm detwi tout bèt vivan yo ankò, jan mwen sot fè l' la.
and YHWH smells the refreshing fragrance, and YHWH says to His heart, “I do not continue to disfavor the ground because of man anymore, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I do not continue to strike all living anymore, as I have done;
22 Toutotan latè a la, va gen yon lè pou plante, yon lè pou rekòlte, va gen sezon fredi ak sezon chalè, va gen sezon sèk, ak sezon lapli, va gen lajounen, va gen lannwit. Wi, toutotan latè a la, bagay sa yo p'ap janm sispann.
during all [the] days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night never cease.”
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
