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—beasts and all the tame-beasts that were with him in the ark, —and God caused 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 roaring-deep were shut, and the windows of the heavens, —and the heavy rain was restrained from the heavens;
3 I stade voda opadati na zemlji, i jednako opadaše poslije sto i pedeset dana;
and the waters returned from off the earth they went on returning, —and so the waters decreased at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
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.
But, the waters went on decreasing, until the tenth month, —in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, were seen the tops of the mountains.
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 that he had made;
7 I ispusti gavrana, koji jednako odlijetaše i dolijetaše dokle ne presahnu voda na zemlji.
and sent forth a raven, —and it kept going forth and returning, until the drying up of the waters from off the earth.
8 Pa pusti i golubicu da bi vidio je li opala voda sa zemlje.
And he sent forth a dove from him, —to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face 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 resting-place for the sole of her foot so she returned unto him into the ark, for, waters, were on the face of all the earth; and he put forth his hand and took her, and brought her in unto him, into the ark.
10 I poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu iz kovèega.
Then stayed he yet seven days more, —and, again 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 in unto him at eventide, and lo! a newly sprouted olive-leaf, in her mouth, —so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off the earth.
12 Ali poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu, a ona mu se više ne vrati.
And he stayed yet seven days more, —and sent forth the dove, but she returned not again unto 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.
So it came to pass in the six hundred and first year at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried up from off the earth, —and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked and lo! the face 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, was the earth dry.
15 Tada reèe Bog Noju govoreæi:
So then, God spake to Noah, saying:
16 Izidi iz kovèega ti i žena tvoja i sinovi tvoji i žene sinova tvojih s tobom;
Come forth 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.
All the living creatures that are with thee of all flesh among birds, and among beasts, and among all the creeping things that creep on the earth, bring forth with thee, —and they shall swarm in 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.
So Noah came forth, —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 living creatures, all that move along, and all birds, and all that moveth along over the earth—by their families, 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 Noah builded an altar to Yahweh, —and took of all the clean beasts and of all the clean birds, and caused ascending Sacrifices to go up 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 Yahweh smelled a satisfying odour, so Yahweh said to himself. I will not, again, curse any more the ground for man’s sake, although the device of the heart of man, be wicked from his youth, —neither will I again, any 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.
During all the days of the earth, seedtime 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
