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 wild animals, and all the tame animals, and all the flying creatures, and all the crawling creatures that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters began to recede.
2 I zatvoriše se izvori bezdanu i ustave nebeske, i dažd s neba prestade.
And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 I stade voda opadati na zemlji, i jednako opadaše poslije sto i pedeset dana;
And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
4 Te se ustavi kovèeg sedmoga mjeseca dana sedamnaestoga na planini Araratu.
And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 I voda opadaše sve veæma do desetoga mjeseca; i prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca pokazaše se vrhovi od brda.
The waters receded continually to the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 A poslije èetrdeset dana otvori Noje prozor na kovèegu, koji bješe naèinio;
It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship 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. It went back and forth, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 Pa pusti i golubicu da bi vidio je li opala voda sa zemlje.
Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of 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 place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 I poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu iz kovèega.
And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
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.
The dove came back to him at evening, and, look, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had abated from the earth.
12 Ali poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu, a ona mu se više ne vrati.
He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him 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 happened in the six hundred first year of Noah's life, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters had dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ship and looked out. And look, the surface of the ground was dry.
14 A drugoga mjeseca dvadeset sedmoga dana bješe sva zemlja suha.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Tada reèe Bog Noju govoreæi:
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 ship, 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.
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, of flying creatures, and animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and 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 forth, with his sons, 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.
And every wild animal, and every tame animal, and every flying creature, and every creature that crawls on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 I naèini Noje žrtvenik Gospodu, i uze od svake èiste stoke i od svijeh ptica èistijeh, i prinese na žrtveniku žrtve paljenice.
Noah built an altar to God, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean flying creature, and offered 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 God smelled the pleasing aroma, and God said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, even though the inclination of his heart is evil from his youth, nor will I again destroy 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.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
