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 Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2 I zatvoriše se izvori bezdanu i ustave nebeske, i dažd s neba prestade.
And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
3 I stade voda opadati na zemlji, i jednako opadaše poslije sto i pedeset dana;
And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
4 Te se ustavi kovèeg sedmoga mjeseca dana sedamnaestoga na planini Araratu.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 I voda opadaše sve veæma do desetoga mjeseca; i prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca pokazaše se vrhovi od brda.
And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 A poslije èetrdeset dana otvori Noje prozor na kovèegu, koji bješe naèinio;
And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah 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 out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
8 Pa pusti i golubicu da bi vidio je li opala voda sa zemlje.
And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
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.
But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
10 I poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu iz kovèega.
And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of 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 came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.
12 Ali poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu, a ona mu se više ne vrati.
And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
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, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.
14 A drugoga mjeseca dvadeset sedmoga dana bješe sva zemlja suha.
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Tada reèe Bog Noju govoreæi:
And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 Izidi iz kovèega ti i žena tvoja i sinovi tvoji i žene sinova tvojih s tobom;
Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
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.
Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.
18 I izide Noje i sinovi njegovi i žena njegova i žene sinova njegovijeh s njim.
And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, 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.
All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl — everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went 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 Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on 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 Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.
22 Otsele dokle bude zemlje, neæe nestajati sjetve ni žetve, studeni ni vruæine, ljeta ni zime, dana ni noæi.
Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
