< Genesisy 8 >

1 Nitiahin’Andrianañahare t’i Nòake naho ze raha veloñe iaby naho ze hene biby nindre ama’e an-dakam‑polo-ay ao. Le nampitiofen’ Añahare ambone’ ty tane toy ty tioke vaho nipendreñe i ranoy;
God considered Noah, all the wild animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters started going down.
2 najihetse iaby ze nitorotositse boak’ an-tsikeokeok’ ao naho o lalan-dikerañeo, naho nisebañeñe ty rano boak’an-dindiñe eñe;
The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and it stopped raining.
3 vaho nitolom-pike­trak’ an-tane atoy i ranoy. Ie modo ty zato tsy limampolo andro le fa nizetse i ranoy;
The flood waters went down slowly from the earth, and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.
4 le ami’ty volam-paha-fito, ami’ty andro faha folo-fito’ ambi’ i volañey le nisampe ambone’ ty vohits’ Ararate eo i lakam-poloaiy.
The ark came to rest in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 Nitolom-pizetse avao i ranoy am-para’ ty volam-paha-folo; ie am-baloha’ i volam-pahafoloy le niboake o lengom-bohitseo.
The waters continued to go down until the tenth month. On the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 Ie nimodo ka ty efa-polo andro le sinoka’ i Nòake i lalan-kede namboare’e amy lakam-poloaiiy
It came about after forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 vaho nañirake koàke; nihelahela avao re ampara’ te nimaike ty rano ambone’ tane atoy.
He sent out a raven and it flew back and forth until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Nampandenà’e boak’ama’e ka ty deho ho mb’eo hahaoniñe hera nizetse an-tane atoy i ranoy;
Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had gone down from the surface of the earth,
9 fe tsy nahatrea ty hipetahan-tombo’e i dehoy, le nimpoly mb’an-dakam-poloay ao fa mboe nihanañe ambone’ ty tane toy iaby i ranoy. Aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e naho rinambe’e vaho nazili’e ho ama’e an-dakañe ao.
but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, for the waters were still covering the whole earth. He reached out with his hand, and took and brought her into the ark with him.
10 Mbe nandiñe fito andro ka le nampisangitrife’e mb’eo boak’ amy lakañey indraike i dehoy;
He waited another seven days and again he sent out the dove from the ark.
11 ie amy harivay, nimpoly ama’e i dehoy, am-bava’e ao ty raven-olive nipotore’e anianike; aa le nirendre’ i Nòake te nita­ke­trak’ an-tane atoy o ranoo.
The dove returned to him in the evening. Look! In her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from the earth.
12 Ie nandiñe fito andro ka le nirahe’e mb’eo i dehoy f’ie tsy nimpoly.
He waited another seven days, and sent out the dove again. She did not return again to him.
13 Ie amy taom-pahaenen-jato-raik’ ambiy, amy volam-baloha’ey, amy andro valoha’ i volañeiy, le nima­ike o rano ambone’ tane atoio; le nakatra’ i Nòake ty lombo’ i lakam-poloaiy naho nisary, vaho niisa’e te nimaike ty ambone’ i taney.
It came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark, looked out, and saw that, behold, the surface of the ground was dry.
14 Amy volam-paha-roey, amy andro faha roa-polo-fito-ambi’ i volañeiy le nimaike ty tane toy.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Aa hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Nòake,
God said to Noah,
16 Iengao o lakam-poloaio, ihe naho ty vali’o naho o ana’oo vaho o valin’ ana’oo.
“Go out of the ark, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Akaro mindre ama’o ze fonga raha veloñe ama’ nofotse, o voroñeo naho o hareo naho ze hene mpisitsitse misariosario an-tane atoy, hibodobodo an-tane atoy naho hitomambao vaho hanarànake an-tane atoy.
Take out with you every living creature of all flesh that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth—so that they may grow unto very large numbers of living creatures throughout the earth, be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.”
18 Aa le niavotse t’i Nòake rekets’ o ana-dahi’eo naho i vali’ey naho o valin’ ana’eo.
So Noah went out with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Le sambe niakatse i lakañey ze biby naho raha milaly, naho o voroñeo naho ze misitsitse ambone’ ty tane toy amo karaza’eo.
Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, according to their families, left the ark.
20 Aa le nañoreñe kitrely ho am’ Iehovà t’i Nòake vaho sindre nandrambesa’e ze biby malio naho ze voroñe malio vaho nañenga soroñe amy kitreliy.
Noah built an altar to Yahweh. He took some of the clean animals and some of the clean birds, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 Ie naha’antsoñe i harifondrifoñañey t’Iehovà le hoe t’Iehovà añ’arofo’e ao, Tsy hafàko ka o taneo ty am’ondatio, fa raty boak’ami’ty faha-ajaja’e ty fisafirin’ arofo’ ondatio; vaho tsy ho rotsaheko ka ze kila raha veloñe manahake i nanoekoy.
Yahweh smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground because of mankind, even though the intentions of their hearts is evil from childhood. Nor will I again destroy everything living, as I have done.
22 Aa naho mbe eo ty tane toy, le tsy ho modo ka ty sam-pitongisañe naho fitatahañe, ty hanintsiñe naho hatrovohañe, ty asara naho asotry, ty handro vaho haleñe.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
