Ebandeli 8
1 Nzambe akanisaki Noa mpe banyama nyonso oyo ezalaki elongo na ye kati na masuwa, atindaki mopepe na mokili mpe mayi ekitaki.
And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which [are] with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,
2 Bitima ya se mpe maninisa ya likolo ekangamaki mpe mvula etikaki konoka.
and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.
3 Mayi ekomaki kolongwa moke-moke likolo ya mabele, mpe sima na mikolo nkama moko na tuku mitano, mayi ekitaki.
And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
4 Na mokolo ya zomi na sambo ya sanza ya sambo, masuwa esemaki likolo ya bangomba Ararati.
And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;
5 Mayi ezalaki kokoba kokita kino na sanza ya zomi. Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza yango, basonge ya bangomba emonanaki.
and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.
6 Sima na mikolo tuku minei, Noa afungolaki lininisa ya masuwa oyo asalaki
And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,
7 mpe abimisaki yanganga. Yanganga yango ezalaki kokende mpe kozonga kino tango mayi ekawukaki na mokili.
and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.
8 Mpe lisusu, Noa abimisaki ebenga mpo na kotala soki mayi ekawuki na mokili.
And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,
9 Kasi ebenga ezwaki esika ya kotia matambe na yango te, pamba te mayi ezalaki na etando nyonso ya mokili. Boye, ezongaki na masuwa epai ya Noa. Noa abimisaki loboko, azwaki ebenga mpe akotisaki yango kati na masuwa.
and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.
10 Azelaki mikolo sambo mpe abimisaki lisusu ebenga libanda ya masuwa.
And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;
11 Tango ebenga ezongaki epai na ye na pokwa, ememaki lokasa ya olive ya mobesu na monoko na yango. Boye, Noa asosolaki ete mayi ekiti na mokili.
and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.
12 Azelaki lisusu mikolo sambo mosusu, mpe abimisaki ebenga. Kasi ebenga ezongaki lisusu te.
And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.
13 Na mokolo ya liboso na sanza ya liboso, tango Noa akokisaki mibu nkama motoba na moko ya mbotama, mayi ekawukaki na mokili; Noa afungolaki masuwa na likolo na yango mpe amonaki ete mabele ekawuki.
And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.
14 Na mokolo ya tuku mibale na sambo ya sanza ya mibale, mabele ekawukaki penza.
And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.
15 Boye, Nzambe alobaki na Noa:
And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, 'Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;
16 « Bima na masuwa elongo na mwasi na yo, mpe bana na yo ya mibali elongo na basi na bango.
every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;
17 Bimisa mpe bikelamu oyo ezali elongo na yo: bandeke, banyama mpe bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu, mpo ete ebotana mpe ekoma ebele kati na mokili. »
and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'
18 Boye, Noa abimaki libanda elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, mwasi na ye mpe basi ya bana na ye.
And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;
19 Banyama nyonso, bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bandeke nyonso, bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na mokili, ebimaki na masuwa na molongo kolanda lolenge na yango.
every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.
20 Noa atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe mpe azwaki ndambo ya banyama mpe bandeke ezanga mbindo, abonzelaki yango Yawe lokola mbeka ya kotumba.
And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;
21 Boye, Yawe ayokaki solo kitoko mpe amilobelaki: « Nakolakela lisusu mabele mabe te likolo ya moto, pamba te wuta bomwana ya moto, motema ya moto elukaka kaka makambo mabe; nakoboma lisusu te bikelamu nyonso ya bomoi ndenge nawuti kosala.
and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, 'I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;
22 Na tango nyonso oyo mokili ekozala, tango ya kolona mpe tango ya kobuka, tango ya malili mpe tango ya molunge, tango ya mvula mpe tango ya elanga, tango ya moyi mpe tango ya butu, ekozanga te. »
during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'
