창세기 8
1 하나님이 노아와 그와 함께 방주에 있는 모든 들짐승과 육축을 권념하사 바람으로 땅 위에 불게 하시매 물이 감하였고
But God (did not forget/thought) about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water [to begin] to recede.
2 깊음의 샘과 하늘의 창이 막히고 하늘에서 비가 그치매
God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.
3 물이 땅에서 물러가고 점점 물러가서 일백오십일 후에 감하고
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 칠월 곧 그 달 십칠일에 방주가 아라랏 산에 머물렀으며
(on the 17th day of the seventh month [of that year/late in March]), the boat came to rest on one of the mountains in the Ararat region.
5 물이 점점 감하여 시월 곧 그 달 일일에 산들의 봉우리가 보였더라
The water continued to recede until, on the first day of the tenth month [of that year], the tops of other mountains became visible.
6 사십 일을 지나서 노아가 그 방주에 지은 창을 열고
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 까마귀를 내어 놓으매 까마귀가 물이 땅에서 마르기까지 날아 왕래하였더라
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 그가 또 비둘기를 내어 놓아 지면에 물이 감한 여부를 알고자 하매
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on the ground.
9 온 지면에 물이 있으므로 비둘기가 접족할 곳을 찾지 못하고 방주로 돌아와 그에게로 오는지라 그가 손을 내밀어 방주 속 자기에게로 받아 들이고
But the dove did not find any place to perch, so it flew back to Noah in the boat, because there was still water all over the surface of the earth. So Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back inside the boat.
10 또 칠 일을 기다려 다시 비둘기를 방주에서 내어 놓으매
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
11 저녁때에 비둘기가 그에게로 돌아왔는데 그 입에 감람 새 잎사귀가 있는지라 이에 노아가 땅에 물이 감한 줄 알았으며
This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, [surprisingly], in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground.
12 또 칠 일을 기다려 비둘기를 내어 놓으매 다시는 그에게로 돌아오지 아니하였더라
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 육백일년 정월 곧 그 달 일일에 지면에 물이 걷힌지라 노아가 방주 뚜껑을 제치고 본즉 지면에 물이 걷혔더니
Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month [of the Jewish year], the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying.
14 이월 이십칠일에 땅이 말랐더라
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 하나님이 노아에게 말씀하여 가라사대
Then God said to Noah,
16 너는 네 아내와 네 아들들과 네 자부들로 더불어 방주에서 나오고
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
17 너와 함께 한 모든 혈육 있는 생물 곧 새와 육축과 땅에 기는 모든 것을 다 이끌어내라 이것들이 땅에서 생육하고 땅에서 번성하리라 하시매
Bring out with you all the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that scurry across the ground, in order that they can spread all over the earth and become very numerous.”
18 노아가 그 아들들과 그 아내와 그 자부들과 함께 나왔고
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
19 땅 위의 동물 곧 모든 짐승과 모든 기는 것과 모든 새도 그 종류대로 방주에서 나왔더라
And every kind of creature, including all those that scurry across the ground, all the birds, every creature that moves on the earth, left the boat. They left the boat in groups of their own species.
20 노아가 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓고 모든 정결한 짐승 중에서와 모든 정결한 새 중에서 취하여 번제로 단에 드렸더니
Then Noah built a (stone altar/place for offering sacrifices) to Yahweh. Then he took some of the animals that Yahweh had said were acceptable as sacrifices and killed them. Then he burned them whole on the altar.
21 여호와께서 그 향기를 흠향하시고 그 중심에 이르시되 내가 다시는 사람으로 인하여 땅을 저주하지 아니하리니 이는 사람의 마음의 계획하는 바가 어려서부터 악함이라 내가 전에 행한 것 같이 모든 생물을 멸하지 아니하리니
When Yahweh smelled the pleasant odor, he was pleased with the sacrifice. Then he said to himself, “I will never again devastate everything on the earth because of the sinful things people do. Even though everything that people think is evil from the time they are young, I will not destroy all the living creatures again, as I did this time.
22 땅이 있을 동안에는 심음과 거둠과 추위와 더위와 여름과 겨울과 낮과 밤이 쉬지 아니하리라
As long as the earth exists, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.”
