1 Mojzes 8
1 Bog se je spomnil Noeta in vsake žive stvari in vse živine, ki je bila z njim v ladji in Bog je naredil veter, da je šel prek zemlje in vode so se znižale.
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 Tudi studenci globin in okna neba so bili ustavljeni in dež z neba je bil zadržan.
And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
3 Vode so se nenehno vračale iznad zemlje in po koncu sto petdesetih dni so bile vode znižane.
And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
4 Ladja je obstala v sedmem mesecu, na sedemnajsti dan meseca, na gorah Araráta.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 In vode so nenehno upadale do desetega meseca. V desetem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, so bili vidni vrhovi gora.
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 Ob koncu štiridesetih dni se je pripetilo, da je Noe odprl okno ladje, ki jo je naredil
And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 in izpustil krokarja, ki je letal sem ter tja, dokler se vode iznad zemlje niso posušile.
And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
8 Od sebe je izpustil tudi golobico, da vidi, če so se vode znižale iznad obličja tal,
And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
9 toda golobica ni našla počitka za podnožje svojega stopala in se je vrnila k njemu v ladjo, kajti vode so bile na obličju celotne zemlje. Potem je iztegnil svojo roko in jo prijel ter potegnil k sebi v ladjo.
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 Okleval pa je še drugih sedem dni in golobico ponovno izpustil iz ladje.
And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 Golobica je zvečer priletela k njemu, in glej, v njenem kljunu je bil odtrgan oljčni list. Tako je Noe spoznal, da so bile vode iznad zemlje znižane.
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 Okleval je še drugih sedem dni in izpustil golobico, ki se ni več ponovno vrnila k njemu.
And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
13 Pripetilo se je v šeststoprvem letu, v prvem mesecu, prvi dan meseca, [da] so se vode iznad zemlje posušile. Noe je odstranil pokrivalo ladje ter pogledal in glej, obličje tal je bilo suho.
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 V drugem mesecu, na sedemindvajseti dan meseca, je bila zemlja suha.
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Bog je spregovoril Noetu, rekoč:
And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 »Pojdi iz ladje ti in tvoja žena in tvoji sinovi in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.
Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 S seboj privedi vsako živo stvar, ki je s teboj od vsega mesa, tako od perjadi kakor od živine in od vsake plazeče stvari, ki se plazi na zemlji, da se bodo na zemlji lahko obilno plodili in bodo rodovitni in se množili 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 Noe se je izkrcal in njegovi sinovi in njegova žena in žene njegovih sinov z njim.
And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Vsaka žival, vsaka plazeča stvar in vsaka perjad in karkoli se plazi na zemlji, po svojih vrstah, so se izkrcali iz ladje.
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 Noe je zgradil oltar Gospodu in vzel od vsake čiste živali in od vsake čiste perjadi ter na oltarju daroval žgalne daritve.
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 Gospod je zavohal prijeten vonj in Gospod je v svojem srcu rekel: »Zaradi človeka tal ne bom več ponovno preklel, kajti zamisel človekovega srca je zla od njegove mladosti niti ne bom več ponovno udaril vsake žive stvari, kakor sem storil.
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 Dokler ostaja zemlja, čas setve in žetve in mraz in vročina in poletje in zima in dan in noč ne bodo prenehali.«
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
