UGenesisi 8

1 UNkulunkulu wasemkhumbula uNowa, lakho konke okuphilayo, laso sonke isifuyo, esasilaye emkhunjini. UNkulunkulu wavunguzisa umoya phezu komhlaba, lamanzi etsha.

and to remember God [obj] Noah and [obj] all [the] living thing and [obj] all [the] animal which with him in/on/with ark and to pass God spirit: breath upon [the] land: country/planet and to subside [the] water

2 Kwasekumiswa imithombo yokujula lamasango empophoma zamazulu, lezulu elivela emazulwini lanqandwa.

and to stop spring abyss and window [the] heaven and to restrain [the] rain from [the] heaven

3 Lamanzi etsha esuka emhlabeni, ehamba ebuyela; amanzi asencipha ekupheleni kwensuku ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu.

and to return: return [the] water from upon [the] land: country/planet to go: continue and to return: again and to lack [the] water from end fifty and hundred day

4 Umkhumbi wasuhlala ngenyanga yesikhombisa, ngosuku lwetshumi lesikhombisa lwenyanga, phezu kwezintaba zeArarathi.

and to rest [the] ark in/on/with month [the] seventh in/on/with seven ten day to/for month upon mountain: mount Ararat

5 Lamanzi aya esetsha kwaze kwaba senyangeni yetshumi; ngeyetshumi ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga kwabonakala ingqonga zezintaba.

and [the] water to be to go: went and to lack till [the] month [the] tenth in/on/with tenth in/on/with one to/for month to see: see head: top [the] mountain: mount

6 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane, uNowa wasevula iwindi lomkhumbi ayelenzile,

and to be from end forty day and to open Noah [obj] window [the] ark which to make

7 wasethuma iwabayi, lazulazula njalo, aze atsha amanzi emhlabeni.

and to send: depart [obj] [the] raven and to come out: come to come out: come and to return: return till to wither [the] water from upon [the] land: country/planet

8 Wasethuma ijuba lisuka kuye, ukubona ukuthi amanzi asemalutshwana yini ebusweni bomhlaba;

and to send: depart [obj] [the] dove from with him to/for to see: see to lighten [the] water from upon face: surface [the] land: soil

9 kodwa ijuba kalitholanga indawo yokuphumula kwengaphansi yonyawo lwalo, ngakho labuyela kuye emkhunjini, ngoba amanzi ayekhona ebusweni bomhlaba wonke. Waseselula isandla sakhe, walithatha, walingenisa kuye emkhunjini.

and not to find [the] dove resting to/for palm: sole foot her and to return: return to(wards) him to(wards) [the] ark for water upon face: surface all [the] land: country/planet and to send: reach hand his and to take: take her and to come (in): bring [obj] her to(wards) him to(wards) [the] ark

10 Waselinda futhi ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; wasephinda elithuma ijuba lisuka emkhunjini.

and to twist: anticipate still seven day another and to add: again to send: depart [obj] [the] dove from [the] ark

11 Ijuba laselibuya kuye ngesikhathi santambama, khangela-ke, ihlamvu lomhlwathi elisanda ukuquntwa lalisemlonyeni walo; ngakho uNowa wasesazi ukuthi amanzi asemalutshwana phezu komhlaba.

and to come (in): come to(wards) him [the] dove to/for time evening and behold leaf olive fresh-plucked in/on/with lip her and to know Noah for to lighten [the] water from upon [the] land: country/planet

12 Waselinda futhi ezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa; waselithuma ijuba; kalabe lisabuyela kuye futhi.

and to wait: wait still seven day another and to send: depart [obj] [the] dove and not to add: again to return: return to(wards) him still

13 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamakhulu ayisithupha lanye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, amanzi atsha emhlabeni. UNowa wasesusa isifulelo somkhumbi, wabona, khangela-ke, ubuso bomhlaba babomile.

and to be in/on/with one and six hundred year in/on/with first in/on/with one to/for month to dry [the] water from upon [the] land: country/planet and to turn aside: remove Noah [obj] covering [the] ark and to see: see and behold to dry face: surface [the] land: soil

14 Njalo ngenyanga yesibili, ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa lwenyanga, umhlaba wawusuwomile.

and in/on/with month [the] second in/on/with seven and twenty day to/for month to wither [the] land: country/planet

15 UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kuNowa, esithi:

and to speak: speak God to(wards) Noah to/for to say

16 Phuma emkhunjini, wena lomkakho lamadodana akho labafazi bamadodana akho kanye lawe.

to come out: come from [the] ark you(m. s.) and woman: wife your and son: child your and woman: wife son: child your with you

17 Konke okuphilayo okulawe, kuyo yonke inyama, eyenyoni leyesifuyo leyakho konke okuhuquzelayo kuhuquzela emhlabeni, phuma lakho; ukuze kuzale kwande emhlabeni, kuzale, kwande phezu komhlaba.

all [the] living thing which with you from all flesh in/on/with bird and in/on/with animal and in/on/with all [the] creeping [the] to creep upon [the] land: country/planet (to come out: send *Q(k)*) with you and to swarm in/on/with land: country/planet and be fruitful and to multiply upon [the] land: country/planet

18 UNowa wasephuma, lamadodana akhe, lomkakhe, labafazi bamadodana akhe kanye laye.

and to come out: come Noah and son: child his and woman: wife his and woman: wife son: child his with him

19 Yonke inyamazana, konke okuhuquzelayo, layo yonke inyoni, konke okuhamba emhlabeni, ngenhlobo zakho, kwaphuma emkhunjini.

all [the] living thing all [the] creeping and all [the] bird all to creep upon [the] land: country/planet to/for family their to come out: come from [the] ark

20 UNowa waseyakhela iNkosi ilathi; wathatha kuso sonke isifuyo esihlambulukileyo, lakuyo yonke inyoni ehlambulukileyo, wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwelathi.

and to build Noah altar to/for LORD and to take: take from all [the] animal [the] pure and from all [the] bird [the] pure and to ascend: offer up burnt offering in/on/with altar

21 INkosi yasisizwa uqhatshi olumnandi; iNkosi yasisithi enhliziyweni yayo: Kangisayikuphinda ngiqalekise umhlaba ngenxa yomuntu, ngoba ukuceba kwenhliziyo yomuntu kubi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe; futhi kangisayikuphinda ngitshaye konke okuphilayo njengalokhu ngenzile.

and to smell LORD [obj] aroma [the] soothing and to say LORD to(wards) heart his not to add: again to/for to lighten still [obj] [the] land: soil in/on/with for the sake of [the] man for intention heart [the] man bad: evil from youth his and not to add: again still to/for to smite [obj] all alive like/as as which to make: do

22 Ngazo zonke izinsuku zomhlaba, ukuhlanyela lokuvuna, lamakhaza lokukhudumala, lehlobo lobusika, lemini lobusuku, kakuyikuphela.

still all day [the] land: country/planet seed and harvest and cold and heat and summer and autumn and day and night not to cease
