Jenèz 8
1 E Bondye te sonje Noé avèk tout bèt ki te avèk li nan lach la. Konsa, Bondye te fè yon van pase sou tè a, e dlo yo te vin bese.
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
2 Sous nan fon yo te vin fèmen. Pòtay lapli nan syèl la te fèmen, e lapli ki te sòti nan syèl la te sispann.
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 Dlo a te bese ofiramezi sou tè a. E apre san-senkant jou, dlo a te vin mwens.
And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 Nan setyèm mwa, nan dis-setyèm jou nan mwa a, lach la te vin poze sou mòn Ararat la.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 Dlo a te bese toujou jis nan dizyèm mwa a. Nan dizyèm mwa, nan premye jou mwa a, tèt mòn yo te vin vizib.
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 Alò, li te vin rive ke lè karant jou yo fin pase, Noé te ouvri fenèt lach la, ke li te fè a.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 Konsa, li te voye deyò yon kònèy zwazo nwa ki te vole de yon kote a lòt jiskaske dlo a te vin seche sou tè a.
And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Epi li te voye deyò yon toutrèl sòti kote li, pou wè si dlo a te bese sou fas tè a,
Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 men toutrèl la pa t jwenn plas repo pou plante pye li, e li te retounen kote li nan lach la, paske dlo a te sou fas tout tè a. Alò, li te lonje men l deyò, li te pran l, e li te fè l antre nan lach la vè li menm.
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.
10 Li te tann pou yon lòt sèt jou ankò, e li te revoye toutrèl la soti nan lach la.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 Toutrèl la te vin kote l vè aswè, e gade byen, nan bèk li te gen yon fèy bwa doliv byen fre. Konsa Noé te konnen ke dlo a te bese sou tè a.
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, see, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Alò, li te tann pou youn lòt sèt jou. Li te revoye toutrèl la, e li pa t retounen kote li ankò.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again to him any more.
13 Alò, li te vin rive ke nan sis-san-en ane, nan premye mwa, dlo a te fin seche kite tè a. Konsa, Noé te retire kouvèti lach la. Li te gade, e gade byen, sifas tè a te vin sèch.
And it came to pass in the six hundredth 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 dry.
14 Nan dezyèm mwa, nan venn-sèt jou nan mwa a, tè a te sèch.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 Alò, Bondye te pale avèk Noé. Li te di:
And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 Sòti nan lach la, ou menm avèk madanm ou, fis ou yo, avèk madanm a fis ou yo.
Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Mete deyò avèk ou tout chè vivan ki avèk ou, zwazo, animal, ak tout bèt sila yo ki kouri atè, pou yo kapab kouple anpil sou latè, pou vin fekon, e miltipliye anpil sou tè a.
Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.
18 Alò, Noé te sòti, ak fis li yo avèk madanm li, e madanm a fis li yo.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
19 Chak bèt, chak reptil ki kouri atè, e chak zwazo, tout bagay ki fè mouvman sou latè yo, te sòti nan lach la selon espès pa yo.
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatever creeps on the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 Konsa, Noé te bati yon lotèl pou SENYÈ a. Li te pran chak bèt ki pwòp, ak chak zwazo ki pwòp, e li te ofri sakrifis ki te brile sou lotèl la.
And Noah built an altar to the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 SENYÈ a te pran sant dous la. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Li menm: “Mwen p ap janm modi tè a ankò akoz lòm, paske lentansyon kè li se lemal depi li te jèn. Ni mwen p ap janm detwi ankò chak bagay vivan jan Mwen te fè a.
And the LORD smelled a sweet smell; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for 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 “Pandan tè a la a, lè semans avèk rekòlt, fredi avèk chalè, sezon chalè ak livè, lajounen avèk lannwit p ap janm sispann.”
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
