उत्पत्ति 8
1 परमेश्वरले नोआ, तिनीसित जहाजमा भएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू र सबै पालिने पशुहरूलाई सम्झनुभयो । परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीमा बतास चलाइदिनुभयो, र पानी घट्न थाल्यो ।
And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2 अगाधका मूलहरू र स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू बन्द गरिए, अनि पानी पर्न रोकियो ।
And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
3 जलप्रलयको पानी पृथ्वीमा बिस्तारै घट्यो, र एक सय पचास दिनपछि पानी निकै घट्यो ।
And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
4 सातौँ महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा जहाज आरारातका पर्वतहरूमा अडियो ।
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 दसौँ महिनासम्म पानी निरन्तर घटिरह्यो । त्यही महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा पर्वतहरूका टाकुराहरू देखा परे ।
And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 चालिस दिनपछि नोआले आफूले बनाएको जहाजको झ्याल खोले ।
And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 तिनले एउटा कागलाई उडाइदिए र जमिनको पानी नसुकुञ्जेलसम्म त्यो यताउता उडिरह्यो ।
And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
8 त्यसपछि जमिनको सतहबाट पानी घटेको छ कि छैन भनेर हेर्न तिनले एउटा ढुकुरलाई पठाए ।
And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on 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 resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
10 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि जहाजबाट त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए ।
And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of 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 the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.
12 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए । त्यो फेरि फर्केर तिनीकहाँ आएन ।
And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more 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 ।
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.
14 दोस्रो महिनाको सत्ताइसौँ दिनमा जमिन सुक्खा भयो ।
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो,
And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “तँ, तेरी पत्नी, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा बुहारीहरू जहाजबाट निस्केर आओ ।
Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
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 forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.
18 त्यसैले नोआ आफ्ना छोराहरू, आफ्नी पत्नी र आफ्ना बुहारीहरूसँगै बाहिर निस्के ।
And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 हरेक जीवित प्राणी, हरेक घस्रने जन्तु, हरेक पक्षी र पृथ्वीमा चलहल गर्ने हरेक प्राणी तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना जात-जातअनुसार जहाजबाट बाहिर निस्के ।
All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl — everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.
20 नोआले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए । तिनले शुद्ध पशुहरू र शुद्ध पक्षीहरूमध्ये केहीलाई लिई वेदीमा होमबलि चढाए ।
And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up 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 ।
And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, 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 ।
Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
