उत्पत्ति 8
1 परमेश्वरले नोआ, तिनीसित जहाजमा भएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू र सबै पालिने पशुहरूलाई सम्झनुभयो । परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीमा बतास चलाइदिनुभयो, र पानी घट्न थाल्यो ।
But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.
2 अगाधका मूलहरू र स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू बन्द गरिए, अनि पानी पर्न रोकियो ।
The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 जलप्रलयको पानी पृथ्वीमा बिस्तारै घट्यो, र एक सय पचास दिनपछि पानी निकै घट्यो ।
The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.
4 सातौँ महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा जहाज आरारातका पर्वतहरूमा अडियो ।
On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 दसौँ महिनासम्म पानी निरन्तर घटिरह्यो । त्यही महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा पर्वतहरूका टाकुराहरू देखा परे ।
And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 चालिस दिनपछि नोआले आफूले बनाएको जहाजको झ्याल खोले ।
After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark
7 तिनले एउटा कागलाई उडाइदिए र जमिनको पानी नसुकुञ्जेलसम्म त्यो यताउता उडिरह्यो ।
and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 त्यसपछि जमिनको सतहबाट पानी घटेको छ कि छैन भनेर हेर्न तिनले एउटा ढुकुरलाई पठाए ।
Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.
9 तर ढुकुरले आफ्नो खुट्टा राख्ने ठाउँ कतै पाएन, र त्यो जहाजमा नै तिनीकहाँ फर्क्यो किनकि पानीले अझै पनि पुरै जमिनलाई ढाकिरहेको थियो । तिनले आफ्नो हात पसारेर त्यसलाई समाती जहाजभित्र ल्याए ।
But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.
10 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि जहाजबाट त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए ।
Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.
11 साँझमा त्यो ढुकुर तिनीकहाँ फर्क्यो । हेर! त्यसको चुच्चोमा भर्खरै टिपिएको ताजा भद्राक्षको पात थियो । त्यसैले, पानी जमिनबाट घटेछ भनी नोआले थाहा पाए ।
And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
12 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए । त्यो फेरि फर्केर तिनीकहाँ आएन ।
And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.
13 नोआको छ सय एक वर्षको पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा जमिनबाट पानी सुक्यो । नोआले जहाजको छत खोलेर बाहिर हेरे र तिनको सुक्खा भूमि देखे ।
In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
14 दोस्रो महिनाको सत्ताइसौँ दिनमा जमिन सुक्खा भयो ।
By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.
15 परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो,
Then God said to Noah,
16 “तँ, तेरी पत्नी, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा बुहारीहरू जहाजबाट निस्केर आओ ।
“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.
17 तँसित भएका सबै जीवित प्राणीहरू अर्थात् पक्षीहरू, पशुहरू, पृथ्वीको सतहमा हरेक घस्रने प्राणीलाई तँसँगै बाहिर लिएर आइज ताकि तिनीहरू पृथ्वीमा पशस्त मात्रामा फल्दै-फुल्दै, वृद्धि हुँदै र भरिँदै जाऊन् ।”
Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”
18 त्यसैले नोआ आफ्ना छोराहरू, आफ्नी पत्नी र आफ्ना बुहारीहरूसँगै बाहिर निस्के ।
So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.
19 हरेक जीवित प्राणी, हरेक घस्रने जन्तु, हरेक पक्षी र पृथ्वीमा चलहल गर्ने हरेक प्राणी तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना जात-जातअनुसार जहाजबाट बाहिर निस्के ।
Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.
20 नोआले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए । तिनले शुद्ध पशुहरू र शुद्ध पक्षीहरूमध्ये केहीलाई लिई वेदीमा होमबलि चढाए ।
Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 परमप्रभुले यसको सुगन्ध लिनुभएपछि आफ्नो मनमा भन्नुभयो, “मानव-जातिको ह्रदयको मनसाय बाल्यावस्थादेखि नै दुष्ट हुने भए तापनि म उसको कारणले गर्दा फेरि भूमिलाई श्राप दिनेछैनँ, न त मैले अहिले गरेजस्तै फेरि हरेक जीवित प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछु ।
When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.
22 पृथ्वी रहुञ्जेलसम्म बिउ छर्ने र कटनी गर्ने समय, जाडो र गर्मी, ग्रीष्म र हिउँद अनि दिन र रातको अन्त्य हुनेछैन ।
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
