Olubereberye 8
1 Katonda n’ajjukira Nuuwa n’ensolo zonna ez’awaka n’ez’omu nsiko ezaali naye mu lyato, n’asindika empewo ku nsi, amazzi ne gakendeera;
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were assuaged;
2 ensulo eza wansi w’ensi n’ebituli eby’eggulu ne biggalibwa, n’enkuba eva mu ggulu n’eziyizibwa,
The fountains also of the deep, and the windows of heaven were stopped; and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3 n’amazzi ne geeyongera okukendeera ku nsi. Ku nkomerero y’ennaku kikumi mu ataano amazzi gaali gakalidde;
And the waters returned from off the earth, gradually returning; and the waters were abated after the end of the hundred and fifty days.
4 ne mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, ku lunaku lwagwo olw’ekkumi n’omusanvu, eryato ne litereera ku nsozi eza Alalaati.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 Bwe gatyo amazzi ne geeyongera okukalira okutuusa mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi, ku lunaku olusooka olw’omwezi ogwo entikko z’ensozi ne zirabika.
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 Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku amakumi ana Nuuwa n’aggula eddirisa lye yakola ku lyato
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;
7 n’atuma namuŋŋoona n’agenda nga bw’akomawo okutuusa amazzi lwe gaakalira.
And he sent forth a raven which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Oluvannyuma n’atuma ejjuba ne liva w’ali okulaba ng’amazzi gakalidde ku nsi;
He then sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.
9 naye ejjuba ne litalaba we lissa kigere kyalyo, ne likomawo gy’ali mu lyato, kubanga amazzi gaali gakyali ku nsi yonna. N’agolola omukono gwe n’alikwata n’aliyingiza mu lyato.
But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him unto the ark; for there was water on the face of the whole earth; then he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her into the ark.
10 N’alinda ennaku endala musanvu n’atuma ate ejjuba okuva mu lyato;
And he stayed yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 ne likomawo akawungeezi, era laba, nga lirina mu kamwa kaalyo akakoola akabisi ke liggye ku muti omuzeyituuni. Awo Nuuwa n’ategeera nti amazzi gakendedde ku nsi.
And the dove came in to him at the time of the evening; and, lo, an olive-leaf plucked off was in her mouth; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Ate n’alinda ennaku endala musanvu, n’asindika ejjuba, naye ku mulundi guno teryadda.
And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned not again unto him any more.
13 Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye, olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye nga Nuuwa aweza emyaka lukaaga mu gumu, amazzi gaali gakalidde ku nsi. Awo Nuuwa n’aggyako ekibikka ku lyato n’alaba ng’ensi ekalidde.
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that 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 dry.
14 Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu olw’omwezi ogwokubiri ensi yali ekalidde.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth perfectly dried up.
15 Awo Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa nti,
And God spoke unto Noah, saying,
16 “Vva mu lyato, ggwe, ne mukazi wo, ne batabani bo ne bakazi baabwe.
Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Fulumya buli kiramu ekiri naawe: ebinyonyi, n’ensolo, na buli kiramu ekitambula ku ttaka, biryoke bizaale byale ku nsi, byeyongerenga obungi.”
Every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 Awo Nuuwa n’afuluma ne batabani be, ne mukazi we wamu ne bakazi ba batabani be.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 N’ensolo n’ebitonde byonna ebitambula ku ttaka, n’ebinyonyi byonna, byonna ne biva mu lyato bibiri bibiri mu bibinja.
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 Awo Nuuwa n’azimbira Mukama ekyoto, n’addira ku zimu ku nsolo ennongoofu ne ku binyonyi ebirongoofu n’awaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku kyoto.
And Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and he took of every clean cattle, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 Mukama n’awulira akawoowo akalungi akamusanyusa, n’ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Sikyaddayo kukolimira nsi olw’omuntu, newaakubadde ng’endowooza y’omutima gwe mbi okuva mu buto bwe. Sikyaddayo na kuzikiriza bitonde byonna ebiramu, nga bwe nkoze.
And the Lord smelled the sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for the sake of man; although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 “Ensi ng’ekyaliwo, okusiga n’amakungula, obunnyogovu n’ebbugumu, ebiseera eby’omusana n’eby’obutiti, emisana n’ekiro, tebiggwengawo.”
All the while the earth remaineth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
