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.
God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
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 deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Mmiri ahụ dị nʼụwa ji nwayọọ na-ata. Mgbe narị ụbọchị na iri ụbọchị ise gafesịrị, mmiri ahụ atalatala.
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters receded.
4 Nʼụbọchị iri na asaa nke ọnwa asaa, ụgbọ mmiri ahụ gara nọkwasị nʼelu ugwu Ararat.
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
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.
The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 Mgbe iri ụbọchị anọ gafere, Noa meghere oghereikuku ọ rụnyere nʼakụkụ ụgbọ mmiri ahụ,
At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship 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 out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Emesịa, o zipụrụ otu nduru iji mata ma mmiri ọ kọọla nʼala,
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface 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 place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụrụ nduru ahụ ọzọ
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
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.
The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
12 Mgbe abalị asaa gafere, Noa zipụkwara nduru ahụ ọzọ. Ma nʼoge a, ọ lọtakwaghị ọzọ.
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to 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.
In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
14 Ma ọ bụ nʼụbọchị iri abụọ na asaa nke ọnwa abụọ ka mmiri ji takọrọchaa nʼelu ala.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Chineke gwara Noa okwu sị ya,
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Site nʼụgbọ mmiri pụta, gị na nwunye gị, na ụmụ gị ndị ikom, na ndị nwunye ụmụ gị ndị ikom.
“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
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 out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and 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 Ya mere, Noa si nʼụgbọ mmiri ahụ pụta, ya na ụmụ ya, na nwunye ya, na ndị nwunye ụmụ ya.
Noah went out, with his sons, 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 animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
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.
Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, 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.
The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, 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 remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
