Farawa 8
1 Amma Allah ya tuna da Nuhu da dukan namun jeji da dabbobin da suke tare da shi a cikin jirgi, ya kuma aika da wata iska ta hura dukan duniya, ruwan kuwa ya janye.
But God hadn't forgotten about Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the ark. God sent a wind to blow over the earth, and the floodwaters started to drop.
2 Aka toshe maɓuɓɓugan zurfafa da ƙofofin ambaliyar sammai, ruwan sama kuma ya daina saukowa daga sarari.
The subterranean waters were closed off, and the heavy rainfall was stopped.
3 Ruwan ya janye a hankali daga ƙasa. A ƙarshen kwanaki ɗari da hamsin ɗin, ruwan ya ragu.
The floodwaters steadily receded from the earth. They had gone down so much that by 150 days after the flood began
4 A rana ta goma sha bakwai ga watan bakwai, jirgin ya sauka a duwatsun Ararat.
the ark grounded on the mountains of Ararat. This happened on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.
5 Ruwan ya ci gaba da janyewa har watan goma. A rana ta fari ga watan goma kuwa ƙwanƙolin duwatsun suka bayyana.
The waters continued to drop so that by the first day of the tenth month the tops of mountains could be seen.
6 Bayan kwana arba’in, sai Nuhu ya buɗe tagar jirgin da ya yi,
Forty days later Noah opened the window he'd made in the ark,
7 ya saki hankaka. Hankaka ya yi ta kai da kawowa har sai da ruwa ya shanye a duniya.
and sent a raven out. It flew back and forth until the water on the earth had dried up.
8 Sai ya saki kurciya don yă ga in ruwan ya janye daga doron ƙasa.
Then he sent a dove out to see if the waters had gone down enough to expose dry ground.
9 Amma kurciyar ba tă sami inda za tă sa ƙafafunta ba gama akwai ruwa a dukan doron ƙasa, saboda haka ta komo wurin Nuhu a jirgi. Ya miƙa hannunsa ya ɗauko kurciyar ya shigar da ita wurinsa a cikin jirgi.
But the dove couldn't find anywhere to land. So it came back to Noah in the ark because water was still covering the whole earth. He reached out his hand, picked up the dove, and took it back into the ark with him.
10 Ya ƙara jira kwana bakwai, sai ya sāke aiken kurciyar daga jirgi.
He waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again.
11 Sa’ad da kurciya ta komo wurinsa da yamma, sai ga ɗanyen ganyen zaitun da ta tsinko a bakinta! Sa’an nan Nuhu ya san cewa ruwa ya janye daga duniya.
When it came back to him in the evening it had a freshly-picked olive leaf in its beak, so Noah knew the floodwaters were mainly gone from the earth.
12 Ya ƙara jira kwana bakwai, sai ya sāke aiken kurciyar, amma a wannan ƙaro ba tă komo wurinsa ba.
Again he waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, but this time it didn't return to him.
13 A rana ta fari ga wata na fari wanda Nuhu ya cika shekaru 601, ruwa ya shanye a ƙasa. Sai Nuhu ya buɗe murfin jirgin, ya ga cewa doron ƙasa ya bushe.
By now Noah was 601, and by the first day of the first month, the floodwaters on the earth were gone. Noah pulled back the ark's covering and saw that the ground was drying out.
14 A ran ashirin da bakwai ga wata na biyu, ƙasa ta bushe ƙaƙaf.
By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.
15 Sa’an nan Allah ya ce wa Nuhu,
Then God told Noah,
16 “Fito daga jirgin, kai da matarka da’ya’yanka maza da matansu.
“Leave the ark, you and your wife, your sons and their wives.
17 Ka fitar da kowane iri halitta mai rai da take tare da kai waje, tsuntsaye, dabbobi, da dukan halittu masu rarrafe a ƙasa, don su yi ta haihuwa, su yi yawa, su ƙaru a duniya.”
Let all the animals go—the birds, the wild animals, the creatures that run along the ground—so that they can breed and increase their numbers on the earth.”
18 Sai Nuhu ya fito tare da matarsa da’ya’yansa maza da matan’ya’yansa,
So Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives, left the ark.
19 da kowace irin dabba, da kowane mai rarrafe, da kowane irin tsuntsu, da kowane irin abu da yake tafiya a bisa duniya, suka fito daga jirgi daki-daki bisa ga irinsu.
All the animals, all the creatures that run along the ground, all the birds—everything that lives on land—also left, each kind leaving together.
20 Sai Nuhu ya gina bagaden hadaya ga Ubangiji, ya ɗiba waɗansu dabbobi da tsuntsaye masu tsabta, ya yi hadaya ta ƙonawa da su a kan bagaden.
Noah built an altar, and sacrificed some of the clean animals and birds as a burnt offering.
21 Da Ubangiji ya ji ƙanshi mai daɗi, sai ya ce a zuciyarsa, “Ba zan ƙara la’anta ƙasa saboda mutum ba, ko da yake dukan tunanin zuciyar mutum mugu ne tun yana ƙarami. Ba kuwa zan ƙara hallaka dukan halittu masu rai, kamar yadda na yi ba.
The Lord accepted the sacrifice, and said to himself, “I won't ever again curse the ground because of human beings, even though every single thought in their minds is evil from childhood. I won't ever destroy all life again as I have just done.
22 “Muddin duniya tana nan, lokacin shuki da na girbi, lokacin sanyi da na zafi, lokacin damina da na rani, dare da rana ba za su daina ba.”
As long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never come to an end.”
