Jenesis 8
1 Ma Chineke chetara Noa na ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile, na ụmụ anụ ụlọ niile so ya nọdụ nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ. O zitere ifufe, mee ka o fee nʼelu mmiri ahụ ime ka mmiri ahụ bido ịta.
And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, 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 A kpọchiri isi iyi mmiri niile dị nʼime ime ala, kpọchiekwa ọnụ ụzọ mmiri ozuzo nke mbara eluigwe. Mmiri kwụsịrị isi na mbara eluigwe na-ezokwasị ụwa.
the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 Mmiri ahụ dị nʼụwa ji nwayọọ na-ata. Mgbe narị ụbọchị na iri ụbọchị ise gafesịrị, mmiri ahụ atalatala.
and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 Nʼụbọchị iri na asaa nke ọnwa asaa, ụgbọ mmiri ahụ gara nọkwasị nʼelu ugwu Ararat.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 Mmiri a gara nʼihu na-ata ruo ọnwa nke iri. Nʼụbọchị nke mbụ nke ọnwa iri, e bidoro ịhụ elu ugwu ndị ọzọ anya.
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 Mgbe iri ụbọchị anọ gafere, Noa meghere oghereikuku ọ rụnyere nʼakụkụ ụgbọ mmiri ahụ,
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 site nʼebe ahụ zipụ otu ugolọma nke na-efepụ na-efebatakwa, tutu ruo mgbe mmiri kọrọ nʼelu ala.
and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Emesịa, o zipụrụ otu nduru iji mata ma mmiri ọ kọọla nʼala,
And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 ma nduru ahụ achọtaghị ebe o nwere ike ibe, nʼihi na mmiri ka tojuru elu ụwa niile. Nʼihi ya, nduru ahụ lọghachikwutere Noa nʼime ụgbọ ahụ. Noa setịpụrụ aka ya nwụbata nduru ahụ nʼụgbọ.
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 Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụrụ nduru ahụ ọzọ
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 Nʼoge anyasị, nduru a lọghachiri. Ọ kpụ akwụkwọ oliv ọhụrụ ọ kụbitere nʼọnụ ya. Nke a gosiri Noa na mmiri ahụ ataala nʼelu ala.
and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụkwara nduru ahụ ọzọ. Ma nʼoge a, ọ lọtakwaghị ọzọ.
And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
13 Nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ narị isii na otu nke ndụ Noa, mmiri ahụ atachaala nʼelu ala. Mgbe ahụ, Noa kpughepụrụ ihe mkpuchi nke ụgbọ mmiri ahụ, hụ na mmiri atachaala nʼelu ala.
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 Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị iri abụọ na asaa nke ọnwa abụọ ka mmiri ji takọrọchaa nʼelu ala.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Chineke gwara Noa okwu sị ya,
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 “Site nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta, gị na nwunye gị, na ụmụ gị ndị ikom, na ndị nwunye ụmụ gị ndị ikom.
Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17 Kpọpụta anụ niile dị ndụ nke gị na ha nọ, anụ ufe, na ụmụ anụmanụ, na ihe e kere eke niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, ka ha gaa nʼụwa mụọ ọmụmụ, baa ụba, jupụta nʼelu ya.”
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, 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 Ya mere, Noa si nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ pụta, ya na ụmụ ya, na nwunye ya, na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
19 Ma anụmanụ niile ọbụla nke dị ndụ, na ihe niile na-akpụgharị nʼala, na anụ ufe niile, ihe niile na-ejegharị nʼụwa, ka ụdị ha si dị, sitere nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ pụta.
every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 Mgbe ahụ, Noa wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọ họọrọ site nʼanụ ụlọ ndị dị ọcha na anụ ufe ndị dị ọcha chụọ aja nsure ọkụ.
And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 Onyenwe anyị nụrụ isisi ụtọ nke aja nsure ọkụ ahụ kwuo nʼobi ya sị, “Agaghị m abụ ala ọnụ ọzọ nʼihi mmadụ, ebe ọ bụ na izuzu obi mmadụ bụ ime ihe ọjọọ site na mgbe ọ bụ nwata, agakwaghị m ala ihe niile e kere eke na-eku ume ndụ iyi ọzọ, dịka m mere.
And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah 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 everything living, as I have done.
22 “Ogologo oge niile ụwa ga-anọgide, oge ịkụ mkpụrụ na oge iwe ihe ubi, oge oyi na oge okpomọkụ, ọkọchị na udu mmiri, ehihie na abalị, agaghị ebi.”
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
