1 Hagi timo'a mopa refite'negeno Anumzamo'a Noanku'ene mika zagagafama ventefi mani'nagu agesa nentahino, zaho atufegeno zaho erino tina retufegeno taneno urami'ne.
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 Anumzamo'a mopafinti'ma hanati'nea tina renkani nereno, monafinti ru'nea kora eri refitegeno ruse'ne.
The subterranean waters were closed off, and the heavy rainfall was stopped.
3 Hagi 150'a knamofo agu'afi timo'a akoheno taneno urami'ne.
The floodwaters steadily receded from the earth. They had gone down so much that by 150 days after the flood began
4 Hagi 7ni ikamofona, 17ni zupa ana ventemo'a eramino Ararati agonare eme runtrako hu'ne.
the ark grounded on the mountains of Ararat. This happened on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.
5 Timo'a akoheno taneno uneramigeno 10ni ikamofo ese knazupa, mago'a agonamo'za osi'a hanaku hazage'za ke'naze.
The waters continued to drop so that by the first day of the tenth month the tops of mountains could be seen.
6 Hagi henka 40'a zagegna maniteno Noa'a zaho'ma erikana eri anagino,
Forty days later Noah opened the window he'd made in the ark,
7 kotikoti nama huntege vuteno, vano vano nehigeno, timo'a taneno uramigeno mopa efore hu'ne.
and sent a raven out. It flew back and forth until the water on the earth had dried up.
8 Hagi mopamo'ma ho'mu hu'nesigu, Noa'a mago maho nama huntegeno,
Then he sent a dove out to see if the waters had gone down enough to expose dry ground.
9 hareno vano hiana manisnia zana omaneno tinke me'negeno ete e'ne. Egeno Noa'a aza antegame teno ventefi avre vazi'ne.
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 Avrentegeno 7ni'agna manitegeno, Noa'a ete maho nama huntegeno hareno vu'ne. Hagi ana maho namamo'a kasefa olivi zafa asina atasino agipi haninkofino ana kinagage ehanati'ne. Ana higeno Noa keteno, hago timo'a taneno uramie huno agesa antahi'ne.
He waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again.
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 Mago'ene 7ni'agna maniteno, ana mahona huntegeno hareno vuteno ete ome'ne.
Again he waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, but this time it didn't return to him.
13 Noa'a 601ni'a kafuma nehigeno, pusa ikamofona ese knazupa, mika ama mopafina timo'a ho'mu higeno, Noa'a ana ventemofona amumpafinti anasgeno keana, mopamo'a ho'mu huvagare'negeno ke'ne.
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 Anante 2 ikamofona 27ni knazupa mopamo'a ho'mu huvarenegeno Noa'a ke'ne.
By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.
15 Anumzamo'a amanage huno Noana asmi'ne,
Then God told Noah,
16 kagrane nagaka'anena ventefintira atreta fegi'a atiramiho. Ventefima mani'naza zagagafane, namaramine, mika mopafi vano nehaza zagaraminena, zamavare atrege'za mopafi vu'za eza nehu'za kase hakare hu'za maniho.
“Leave the ark, you and your wife, your sons and their wives.
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 Anage hige'za Noaki, nenaroki, mofavre naga'ane, anoferahe'zane atirami'naze.
So Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives, left the ark.
19 Hagi ana zagagafane, ne'onse zagaramine, nama zagane, mika vanoma nehaza zagaramina, zamagrare zamagrare erizogi'za ventefintira atirmi'naze.
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 Anantera, Noa'a Ra Anumzamofonte Kresramana vu ita trohuteno, mago'a avusese zagagafafinti'ene avusese namafinti'enena aheno mika Kresramana vu'ne.
Noah built an altar, and sacrificed some of the clean animals and birds as a burnt offering.
21 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Kresramana vu'nea mana'a nentahino muse nehuno amanage hu'ne, vahe'mo'za kumi'ma hanaza zankura mago'anena ama mopa eri havizana osugahue. Hakare vahe'mo'za mofavrema mani'nazareti'ma eno ama knare'ma eana, havi antahi'zampinke mani'naze. Hakare zagaramima zamasimu nentaza zagaramina menima huaza hu'na zamahe refiotegahue.
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 Ama ana mopa me'nenkeno maka'zana me'nena hoza negri'za, kafigahaze. Zasi'ma hu kna ne'enkeno, amuhoma hu kna egahie. Ko' aru knane zagegnanena nemenkeno, zagene hanine nehanigeno ana maka'zana vaga oregahie.
As long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never come to an end.”
