Kenehi 8
1 Na ka mahara te atua ki a Noa, ki nga mea ora katoa me nga kararehe katoa ano hoki i a ia i roto i te aaka: na ka mea te Atua kia tika atu tetahi hau i runga i te whenua, a ka mariri nga wai.
And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated.
2 A ka tutakina atu nga matapuna o te rire me nga matapihi o te rangi, ka whakamutua ano hoki te ua o te rangi.
The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3 Na ka hoki haere nga wai i runga i te whenua: a i te paunga o nga ra kotahi rau e rima tekau kua iti iho nga wai.
And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.
4 A i tau iho te aaka i te whitu o nga marama, i te kotahi tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, ki runga ki nga maunga o Ararata.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
5 Me te heke haere tonu o nga wai, a taea noatia te tekau o nga marama: no te tekau o nga marama, no te ra tuatahi o te marama, ka kitea nga tihi o nga maunga.
And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 A, i te mutunga o nga ra e wha tekau, na ka uakina e Noa te matapihi o te aaka i hanga e ia:
And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:
7 A ka tukua atu e ia he raweni, a, ko tona rerenga atu, ka kopiko atu, ka kopiko mai, a maroke noa nga wai i runga i te whenua.
Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.
8 Na ka tukua atu ano e ia he kukupa, kia kitea ai kua iti iho ranei nga wai i runga i te mata o te whenua;
He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
9 A kihai i kitea e te kukupa tetahi taunga iho mo te takahanga o tona waewae, a ka hoki mai ki a ia, ki roto ki te aaka: i runga hoki nga wai i te mata o te whenua katoa: na ka totoro atu tona ringa, a hopukia ana ia, tangohia ana mai ki a ia ki r oto ki te aaka.
But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.
10 Na ka tatari ano ia, e whitu atu nga ra; a ka tukua atu ano e ia te kukupa i roto i te aaka:
And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 A i te ahiahi ka rere mai te kukupa ki a ia; na i roto i tona waha he rau oriwa, he mea korari mai; a ka mohio a Noa kua iti iho nga wai i runga i te whenua.
And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.
12 A ka tatari ano ia, e whitu atu ano nga ra; a tukua atu ana e ia te kukupa; a kihai tena i hoki mai ano ki a ia i muri iho.
And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.
13 A no te ono rau ma tahi o nga tau, no te marama tuatahi, no te ra tuatahi o te marama, i maroke atu ai nga wai i runga i te whenua: na ka hurahia atu e Noa te hipoki o te aaka, a ka kite, na, kua maroke te mata o te whenua.
Therefore in the six hundredth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried.
14 A no te rua o nga marama, no te rua tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, i maroke ai te whenua.
In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.
15 Na ka korero te Atua ki a Noa, ka mea,
And God spoke to Noe, saying:
16 Puta mai koe i te aaka, koutou tahi ko tau wahine, ko au tama, me nga wahine a au tama.
Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
17 Kia puta tahi mai me koe nga mea ora katoa i a koe na, nga kikokiko katoa, nga manu, nga kararehe, me nga mea ngoki katoa e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua; a kia whakatuputupu ratou ki runga ki te whenua, kia hua, kia ngahue ki runga ki te w henua.
All living things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increase and multiply upon it.
18 Na ka puta a Noa, ratou tahi ko ana tama, ko tana wahine, me nga wahine a ana tama:
So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
19 Ka puta hoki i roto i te aaka nga kirehe katoa, nga mea ngokingoki katoa, nga manu katoa, me nga mea ngoki katoa i runga i te whenua o ia ahua, o ia ahua.
And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds, went out of the ark.
20 Na ka hanga e Noa tetahi aata ma Ihowa, a ka tango ia i etahi o nga kararehe pokekore katoa, o nga manu pokekore katoa hoki, a whakaekea tinanatia ana e ia ki runga ki te aata.
And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.
21 Na ka hongi a Ihowa i roto i tona ngakau, E kore ahau e kanga ano i te oneone a muri ake nei mo nga mahi a te tangata; otiia he kino nga tokonga ake o te ngakau o te tangata, o tona taitamarikitanga ake ano; e kore ano hoki ahau e patu i nga mea ora katoa a muri ake nei, e penei me tenei meatanga aku.
And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man’s heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done.
22 E mau ana te whenua, e kore e mutu te po rui me te po kokoti, te maeke me te mahana, te raumati me te hotoke, te ao me te po.
All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
