उत्पत्ति 8
1 परमेश्वरले नोआ, तिनीसित जहाजमा भएका सबै जङ्गली पशुहरू र सबै पालिने पशुहरूलाई सम्झनुभयो । परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीमा बतास चलाइदिनुभयो, र पानी घट्न थाल्यो ।
God considered Noah, all the wild animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters started going down.
2 अगाधका मूलहरू र स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू बन्द गरिए, अनि पानी पर्न रोकियो ।
The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and it stopped raining.
3 जलप्रलयको पानी पृथ्वीमा बिस्तारै घट्यो, र एक सय पचास दिनपछि पानी निकै घट्यो ।
The flood waters went down slowly from the earth, and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.
4 सातौँ महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा जहाज आरारातका पर्वतहरूमा अडियो ।
The ark came to rest 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 ।
The waters continued to go down until the tenth month. On the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 चालिस दिनपछि नोआले आफूले बनाएको जहाजको झ्याल खोले ।
It came about after 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 ।
He sent out a raven and it flew back and forth until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 त्यसपछि जमिनको सतहबाट पानी घटेको छ कि छैन भनेर हेर्न तिनले एउटा ढुकुरलाई पठाए ।
Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had gone down from the surface of the earth,
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, for the waters were still covering the whole earth. He reached out with his hand, and took and brought her into the ark with him.
10 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि जहाजबाट त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए ।
He waited another seven days and again he 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 ।
The dove returned to him in the evening. Look! In her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from the earth.
12 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए । त्यो फेरि फर्केर तिनीकहाँ आएन ।
He waited another seven days, and sent out the dove again. She did not return again 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 ।
It came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark, looked out, and saw that, behold, the surface of the ground was dry.
14 दोस्रो महिनाको सत्ताइसौँ दिनमा जमिन सुक्खा भयो ।
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो,
God said to Noah,
16 “तँ, तेरी पत्नी, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा बुहारीहरू जहाजबाट निस्केर आओ ।
“Go out of the ark, you, your wife, 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 ।”
Take out with you every living creature of all flesh that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth—so that they may grow unto very large numbers of living creatures throughout the earth, be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.”
18 त्यसैले नोआ आफ्ना छोराहरू, आफ्नी पत्नी र आफ्ना बुहारीहरूसँगै बाहिर निस्के ।
So Noah went out with his sons, 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 living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, according to their families, left the ark.
20 नोआले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए । तिनले शुद्ध पशुहरू र शुद्ध पक्षीहरूमध्ये केहीलाई लिई वेदीमा होमबलि चढाए ।
Noah built an altar to Yahweh. He took some of the clean animals and some of the clean birds, 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 ।
Yahweh smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground because of mankind, even though the intentions of their hearts is evil from childhood. Nor will I again destroy everything 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, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
