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 remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
2 अगाधका मूलहरू र स्वर्गका झ्यालहरू बन्द गरिए, अनि पानी पर्न रोकियो ।
The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 जलप्रलयको पानी पृथ्वीमा बिस्तारै घट्यो, र एक सय पचास दिनपछि पानी निकै घट्यो ।
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters receded.
4 सातौँ महिनाको सत्रौँ दिनमा जहाज आरारातका पर्वतहरूमा अडियो ।
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 दसौँ महिनासम्म पानी निरन्तर घटिरह्यो । त्यही महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा पर्वतहरूका टाकुराहरू देखा परे ।
The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 चालिस दिनपछि नोआले आफूले बनाएको जहाजको झ्याल खोले ।
At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 तिनले एउटा कागलाई उडाइदिए र जमिनको पानी नसुकुञ्जेलसम्म त्यो यताउता उडिरह्यो ।
and he sent out a raven. It went 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 ।
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated 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 into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि जहाजबाट त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए ।
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
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 came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
12 अरू सात दिन पर्खेर तिनले फेरि त्यस ढुकुरलाई पठाइदिए । त्यो फेरि फर्केर तिनीकहाँ आएन ।
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to 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 ।
In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that 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 spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “तँ, तेरी पत्नी, तेरा छोराहरू र तेरा बुहारीहरू जहाजबाट निस्केर आओ ।
“Go out of the ship, 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 ।”
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
18 त्यसैले नोआ आफ्ना छोराहरू, आफ्नी पत्नी र आफ्ना बुहारीहरूसँगै बाहिर निस्के ।
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 animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 नोआले परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए । तिनले शुद्ध पशुहरू र शुद्ध पक्षीहरूमध्ये केहीलाई लिई वेदीमा होमबलि चढाए ।
Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, 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 ।
The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike 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 ।
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
