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;
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 ensulo eza wansi w’ensi n’ebituli eby’eggulu ne biggalibwa, n’enkuba eva mu ggulu n’eziyizibwa,
The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 n’amazzi ne geeyongera okukendeera ku nsi. Ku nkomerero y’ennaku kikumi mu ataano amazzi gaali gakalidde;
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
4 ne mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, ku lunaku lwagwo olw’ekkumi n’omusanvu, eryato ne litereera ku nsozi eza Alalaati.
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 Bwe gatyo amazzi ne geeyongera okukalira okutuusa mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi, ku lunaku olusooka olw’omwezi ogwo entikko z’ensozi ne zirabika.
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 Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku amakumi ana Nuuwa n’aggula eddirisa lye yakola ku lyato
At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 n’atuma namuŋŋoona n’agenda nga bw’akomawo okutuusa amazzi lwe gaakalira.
and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Oluvannyuma n’atuma ejjuba ne liva w’ali okulaba ng’amazzi gakalidde ku nsi;
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface 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 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 N’alinda ennaku endala musanvu n’atuma ate ejjuba okuva mu lyato;
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
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.
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 Ate n’alinda ennaku endala musanvu, n’asindika ejjuba, naye ku mulundi guno teryadda.
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to 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.
In the six hundred 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 Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu olw’omwezi ogwokubiri ensi yali ekalidde.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Awo Katonda n’agamba Nuuwa nti,
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Vva mu lyato, ggwe, ne mukazi wo, ne batabani bo ne bakazi baabwe.
“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Fulumya buli kiramu ekiri naawe: ebinyonyi, n’ensolo, na buli kiramu ekitambula ku ttaka, biryoke bizaale byale ku nsi, byeyongerenga obungi.”
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 Awo Nuuwa n’afuluma ne batabani be, ne mukazi we wamu ne bakazi ba batabani be.
Noah went out, with his sons, 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 animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Awo Nuuwa n’azimbira Mukama ekyoto, n’addira ku zimu ku nsolo ennongoofu ne ku binyonyi ebirongoofu n’awaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku kyoto.
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 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.
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 “Ensi ng’ekyaliwo, okusiga n’amakungula, obunnyogovu n’ebbugumu, ebiseera eby’omusana n’eby’obutiti, emisana n’ekiro, tebiggwengawo.”
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
