Postanak 8
1 A Bog se opomenu Noja i svijeh zvijeri i sve stoke što bjehu s njim u kovèegu; i posla Bog vjetar na zemlju da uzbije vodu.
And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.
2 I zatvoriše se izvori bezdanu i ustave nebeske, i dažd s neba prestade.
And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.
3 I stade voda opadati na zemlji, i jednako opadaše poslije sto i pedeset dana;
And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
4 Te se ustavi kovèeg sedmoga mjeseca dana sedamnaestoga na planini Araratu.
And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.
5 I voda opadaše sve veæma do desetoga mjeseca; i prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca pokazaše se vrhovi od brda.
And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.
6 A poslije èetrdeset dana otvori Noje prozor na kovèegu, koji bješe naèinio;
And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 I ispusti gavrana, koji jednako odlijetaše i dolijetaše dokle ne presahnu voda na zemlji.
And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.
8 Pa pusti i golubicu da bi vidio je li opala voda sa zemlje.
And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.
9 A golubica ne našavši gdje bi stala nogom svojom vrati se k njemu u kovèeg, jer još bješe voda po svoj zemlji; i Noje pruživši ruku uhvati je i uze k sebi u kovèeg.
And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.
10 I poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu iz kovèega.
And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.
11 I pred veèe vrati se k njemu golubica, i gle, u kljunu joj list maslinov, koji bješe otkinula; tako pozna Noje da je opala voda sa zemlje.
And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.
12 Ali poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu, a ona mu se više ne vrati.
And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.
13 Šest stotina prve godine vijeka Nojeva prvi dan prvoga mjeseca usahnu voda na zemlji; i Noje otkri krov na kovèegu, i ugleda zemlju suhu.
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.
14 A drugoga mjeseca dvadeset sedmoga dana bješe sva zemlja suha.
And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.
15 Tada reèe Bog Noju govoreæi:
And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,
16 Izidi iz kovèega ti i žena tvoja i sinovi tvoji i žene sinova tvojih s tobom;
Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Sve zvijeri što su s tobom od svakoga tijela, ptice i stoku i što god gamiže po zemlji, izvedi sa sobom, neka se raziðu po zemlji, i neka se plode i množe na zemlji.
And all the wild beasts as many as are with you, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with you: and increase you and multiply upon the earth.
18 I izide Noje i sinovi njegovi i žena njegova i žene sinova njegovijeh s njim.
And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Sve zvijeri, sve sitne životinje, sve ptice i sve što se mièe po zemlji po svojim vrstama izidoše iz kovèega.
And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came forth out of the ark.
20 I naèini Noje žrtvenik Gospodu, i uze od svake èiste stoke i od svijeh ptica èistijeh, i prinese na žrtveniku žrtve paljenice.
And Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering upon the altar.
21 I Gospod omirisa miris ugodni, i reèe u srcu svojem: neæu više kleti zemlje s ljudi, što je misao srca èovjeèijega zla od malena; niti æu više ubijati svega što živi, kao što uèinih.
And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh as I have done.
22 Otsele dokle bude zemlje, neæe nestajati sjetve ni žetve, studeni ni vruæine, ljeta ni zime, dana ni noæi.
All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
