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 every living thing, and all the cattle that was 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 ।

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

3 जलप्रलयको पानी पृथ्वीमा बिस्तारै घट्यो, र एक सय पचास दिनपछि पानी निकै घट्यो ।

And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were decreased.

4 सातौँ महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा जहाज आरारातका पर्वतहरूमा अडियो ।

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

5 दसौँ महिनासम्म पानी निरन्तर घटिरह्‍यो । त्यही महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा पर्वतहरूका टाकुराहरू देखा परे ।

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains 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 forth a raven, which went forth back and forth, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

8 त्यसपछि जमिनको सतहबाट पानी घटेको छ कि छैन भनेर हेर्न तिनले एउटा ढुकुरलाई पठाए ।

Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were decreased from off the face 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 rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

10 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि जहाजबाट त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए ।

And he stayed 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 in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were decreased from off the earth.

12 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए । त्यो फेरि फर्केर तिनीकहाँ आएन ।

And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

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 hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

14 दोस्रो महिनाको सत्ताइसौँ दिनमा जमिन सुक्खा भयो ।

And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

15 परमेश्‍वरले नोआलाई भन्‍नुभयो,

And God spoke unto Noah, saying,

16 “तँ, तेरी पत्‍नी, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा बुहारीहरू जहाजबाट निस्केर आओ ।

Go out of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

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 you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

18 त्यसैले नोआ आफ्ना छोराहरू, आफ्नी पत्‍नी र आफ्ना बुहारीहरूसँगै बाहिर निस्के ।

And Noah went forth, 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 ।

Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creeps upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth 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 unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and 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 ।

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again strike any more every thing living, 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 ।

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
