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 (did not forget/thought) about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water [to begin] to recede.
2 Burqaawwan tuujubawwaniitii fi foddaawwan samiiwwanii ni cufaman; bokkaan samii keessaa gad roobus ni caame.
God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.
3 Bishaan sunis suutuma suuta lafa irraa hirʼachaa deemee dhuma bultii dhibba tokkoo fi shantamaatti gad buʼe.
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 Dooniin sunis guyyaa kudha torbaffaa jiʼa torbaffaatti tulluu Araaraati gubbaa qubate.
(on the 17th day of the seventh month [of that year/late in March]), the boat came to rest on one of the mountains in the Ararat region.
5 Bishaanichi hamma jiʼa kurnaffaatti gaduma galaa deeme. Guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa kurnaffaattis mataawwan tulluuwwanii mulʼatan.
The water continued to recede until, on the first day of the tenth month [of that year], the tops of other mountains became visible.
6 Guyyaa afurtama booddee Nohi foddaa dooniitti baasee ture sana bane;
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 innis arraagessa tokko gad dhiise; arraagessi sunis hamma bishaanichi lafa irraa gogutti asii fi achi deddeebiʼaa ture.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 Ergasii immoo akka bishaanichi lafa irraa hirʼate hubachuuf gugee tokko erge.
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on the 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 did not find any place to perch, so it flew back to Noah in the boat, because there was still water all over the surface of the earth. So Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back inside the boat.
10 Ammas guyyaa torba turee gugee sana doonii keessaa gad baasee erge.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat 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.
This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, [surprisingly], in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground.
12 Ammas guyyaa biraa torba turee gugee sana deebisee erge; gugeen sun garuu lammata gara isaatti hin deebine.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not 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.
Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month [of the Jewish year], the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying.
14 Guyyaa digdamii torbaffaa jiʼa lammaffaatti lafti guutummaan guutuutti gogde.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 Waaqnis Nohiin akkana jedhe;
Then God said to Noah,
16 “Atii fi niitiin kee, ilmaan keetii fi niitonni ilmaan keetii kottaa doonii keessaa baʼaa.
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and 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.”
Bring out with you all the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that scurry across the ground, in order that they can spread all over the earth and become very numerous.”
18 Kanaafuu Nohi ilmaan isaatii fi niitii isaa, niitota ilmaan isaa wajjin gad baʼe.
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
19 Bineensonni hundii fi uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan hundinuu, simbirroonni hundi jechuunis wanni lafa irra jiraatu hundi gosuma gosaan doonii sana keessaa gad baʼan.
And every kind of creature, including all those that scurry across the ground, all the birds, every creature that moves on the earth, left the boat. They left the boat in groups of their own species.
20 Nohis Waaqayyoof iddoo aarsaa ijaare; horii fi simbirroota qulqulluu hunda keessaa fuudhee iddoo aarsaa sana irratti aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeesse.
Then Noah built a (stone altar/place for offering sacrifices) to Yahweh. Then he took some of the animals that Yahweh had said were acceptable as sacrifices and killed them. Then he burned them whole on the altar.
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.
When Yahweh smelled the pleasant odor, he was pleased with the sacrifice. Then he said to himself, “I will never again devastate everything on the earth because of the sinful things people do. Even though everything that people think is evil from the time they are young, I will not destroy all the living creatures again, as I did this time.
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, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.”
