Uumama 8
1 Waaqni garuu Nohin, bineensotaa fi horii isa wajjin doonii keessa turan hunda yaadate. Innis bubbee lafatti erge; bishaanichis gad gale.
But God hadn't forgotten about Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the ark. God sent a wind to blow over the earth, and the floodwaters started to drop.
2 Burqaawwan tuujubawwaniitii fi foddaawwan samiiwwanii ni cufaman; bokkaan samii keessaa gad roobus ni caame.
The subterranean waters were closed off, and the heavy rainfall was stopped.
3 Bishaan sunis suutuma suuta lafa irraa hirʼachaa deemee dhuma bultii dhibba tokkoo fi shantamaatti gad buʼe.
The floodwaters steadily receded from the earth. They had gone down so much that by 150 days after the flood began
4 Dooniin sunis guyyaa kudha torbaffaa jiʼa torbaffaatti tulluu Araaraati gubbaa qubate.
the ark grounded on the mountains of Ararat. This happened on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.
5 Bishaanichi hamma jiʼa kurnaffaatti gaduma galaa deeme. Guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa kurnaffaattis mataawwan tulluuwwanii mulʼatan.
The waters continued to drop so that by the first day of the tenth month the tops of mountains could be seen.
6 Guyyaa afurtama booddee Nohi foddaa dooniitti baasee ture sana bane;
Forty days later Noah opened the window he'd made in the ark,
7 innis arraagessa tokko gad dhiise; arraagessi sunis hamma bishaanichi lafa irraa gogutti asii fi achi deddeebiʼaa ture.
and sent a raven out. It flew back and forth until the water on the earth had dried up.
8 Ergasii immoo akka bishaanichi lafa irraa hirʼate hubachuuf gugee tokko erge.
Then he sent a dove out to see if the waters had gone down enough to expose dry ground.
9 Garuu sababii bishaan lafa hunda irra guutee jiruuf gugeen sun iddoo qubatu dhabdee gara Nohi dooniitti deebite. Innis harka isaa gad hiixatee gugee sana gara dooniitti iddoo ofii jirutti ol galche.
But the dove couldn't find anywhere to land. So it came back to Noah in the ark because water was still covering the whole earth. He reached out his hand, picked up the dove, and took it back into the ark with him.
10 Ammas guyyaa torba turee gugee sana doonii keessaa gad baasee erge.
He waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again.
11 Gugeen sunis galgala yommuu gara isaatti deebitetti kunoo, baala ejersaa kan amma kutame afaanitti qabattee turte. Kanaanis Nohi akka bishaanichi gad hirʼate beeke.
When it came back to him in the evening it had a freshly-picked olive leaf in its beak, so Noah knew the floodwaters were mainly gone from the earth.
12 Ammas guyyaa biraa torba turee gugee sana deebisee erge; gugeen sun garuu lammata gara isaatti hin deebine.
Again he waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, but this time it didn't return to him.
13 Umurii Nohii waggaa dhibba jaʼaa fi tokkoffaatti, guyyaa tokkoffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti, bishaanichi lafa irraa goge. Nohis qadaada doonii sanaa irraa fuudhee ilaalee kunoo akka lafti gogde arge.
By now Noah was 601, and by the first day of the first month, the floodwaters on the earth were gone. Noah pulled back the ark's covering and saw that the ground was drying out.
14 Guyyaa digdamii torbaffaa jiʼa lammaffaatti lafti guutummaan guutuutti gogde.
By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.
15 Waaqnis Nohiin akkana jedhe;
Then God told Noah,
16 “Atii fi niitiin kee, ilmaan keetii fi niitonni ilmaan keetii kottaa doonii keessaa baʼaa.
“Leave the ark, you and your wife, your sons and their wives.
17 Akka isaan lafa irratti baayʼataniif, akka isaan horanii lafa irratti baayʼataniif, gosa uumamawwan lubbu qabeeyyii si wajjin jiran hunda jechuunis simbirroota, bineensotaa fi uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan hunda gad baasi.”
Let all the animals go—the birds, the wild animals, the creatures that run along the ground—so that they can breed and increase their numbers on the earth.”
18 Kanaafuu Nohi ilmaan isaatii fi niitii isaa, niitota ilmaan isaa wajjin gad baʼe.
So Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives, left the ark.
19 Bineensonni hundii fi uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan hundinuu, simbirroonni hundi jechuunis wanni lafa irra jiraatu hundi gosuma gosaan doonii sana keessaa gad baʼan.
All the animals, all the creatures that run along the ground, all the birds—everything that lives on land—also left, each kind leaving together.
20 Nohis Waaqayyoof iddoo aarsaa ijaare; horii fi simbirroota qulqulluu hunda keessaa fuudhee iddoo aarsaa sana irratti aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeesse.
Noah built an altar, and sacrificed some of the clean animals and birds as a burnt offering.
21 Waaqayyos foolii tolaa sana urgeeffatee garaa isaa keessatti akkana jedhe; “Yoo wanni namni ijoollummaa isaatii jalqabee garaa isaatti yaadu hammina taʼe illee ani sababii namaatiif jedhee lammata lafa hin abaaru. Ani akkan kanaan dura godhe sana deebiʼee uumamawwan jiraatoo hunda hin balleessu.
The Lord accepted the sacrifice, and said to himself, “I won't ever again curse the ground because of human beings, even though every single thought in their minds is evil from childhood. I won't ever destroy all life again as I have just done.
22 “Hamma lafti jirtutti, midhaan facaasuu fi walitti qabuun, dhaamochii fi hoʼi, bonnii fi ganni, halkanii fi guyyaan gonkumaa hin hafan.”
As long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never come to an end.”
