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.
But God (did not forget/thought) about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water [to begin] to recede.
2 Tudi studenci globin in okna neba so bili ustavljeni in dež z neba je bil zadržan.
God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.
3 Vode so se nenehno vračale iznad zemlje in po koncu sto petdesetih dni so bile vode znižane.
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 Ladja je obstala v sedmem mesecu, na sedemnajsti dan meseca, na gorah Araráta.
(on the 17th day of the seventh month [of that year/late in March]), the boat came to rest on one of the mountains in the Ararat region.
5 In vode so nenehno upadale do desetega meseca. V desetem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, so bili vidni vrhovi gora.
The water continued to recede until, on the first day of the tenth month [of that year], the tops of other mountains became visible.
6 Ob koncu štiridesetih dni se je pripetilo, da je Noe odprl okno ladje, ki jo je naredil
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 in izpustil krokarja, ki je letal sem ter tja, dokler se vode iznad zemlje niso posušile.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 Od sebe je izpustil tudi golobico, da vidi, če so se vode znižale iznad obličja tal,
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded 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 did not find any place to perch, so it flew back to Noah in the boat, because there was still water all over the surface of the earth. So Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back inside the boat.
10 Okleval pa je še drugih sedem dni in golobico ponovno izpustil iz ladje.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
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.
This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, [surprisingly], in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground.
12 Okleval je še drugih sedem dni in izpustil golobico, ki se ni več ponovno vrnila k njemu.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return 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.
Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month [of the Jewish year], the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying.
14 V drugem mesecu, na sedemindvajseti dan meseca, je bila zemlja suha.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 Bog je spregovoril Noetu, rekoč:
Then God said to Noah,
16 »Pojdi iz ladje ti in tvoja žena in tvoji sinovi in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
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 out with you all the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that scurry across the ground, in order that they can spread all over the earth and become very numerous.”
18 Noe se je izkrcal in njegovi sinovi in njegova žena in žene njegovih sinov z njim.
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
19 Vsaka žival, vsaka plazeča stvar in vsaka perjad in karkoli se plazi na zemlji, po svojih vrstah, so se izkrcali iz ladje.
And every kind of creature, including all those that scurry across the ground, all the birds, every creature that moves on the earth, left the boat. They left the boat in groups of their own species.
20 Noe je zgradil oltar Gospodu in vzel od vsake čiste živali in od vsake čiste perjadi ter na oltarju daroval žgalne daritve.
Then Noah built a (stone altar/place for offering sacrifices) to Yahweh. Then he took some of the animals that Yahweh had said were acceptable as sacrifices and killed them. Then he burned them whole 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.
When Yahweh smelled the pleasant odor, he was pleased with the sacrifice. Then he said to himself, “I will never again devastate everything on the earth because of the sinful things people do. Even though everything that people think is evil from the time they are young, I will not destroy all the living creatures again, as I did this time.
22 Dokler ostaja zemlja, čas setve in žetve in mraz in vročina in poletje in zima in dan in noč ne bodo prenehali.«
As long as the earth exists, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.”
