1 Oo Ilaah wuxuu xusuustay Nuux, iyo wixii noolaa, iyo xoolihii doonnidii kula jiray isagii oo dhan; oo Ilaah dabayl buu dhulka dul mariyey, biyihiina way dhinmeen;
God remembered Noah [Rest], all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
2 ilihii moolka iyo dariishadihii samaduna way awdmeen; roobkii samadana waa la joojiyey;
The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 biyihiina had iyo goorba dhulkay ka noqonayeen, oo boqol iyo konton maalmood dabadood ayaa biyihii dhinmeen.
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.
4 Oo bishii toddobaad, maalinteedii toddoba iyo tobnaad, ayay doonnidii ku fadhiisatay buuraha Araarad.
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 Biyihiina way sii dhinmayeen ilaa bishii tobnaad. Bishii tobnaad, maalinteedii kowaad, ayaa buuraha dushoodii la arkay.
The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 Waxaana dhacday in afartan maalmood dabadood Nuux furay dariishaddii doonnidii uu sameeyey;
At the end of forty days, Noah [Rest] opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 oo wuxuu dibadda u diray tuke, hor iyo dib buuna u duulayay, ilaa intay biyihii ka engegeen dhulka dushiisa.
and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Dabadeedna wuxuu diray qoolley si uu u ogaado bal in biyihii dhulka dushiisa ka yaraadeen iyo in kale;
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
9 laakiin qoolleydii meel ay cagta dhigto ayay weyday, kolkaasay Nuux xaggiisii ku soo noqotay iyo xaggii doonnidii, maxaa yeelay, biyihii baa dhulka oo dhan dul joogay; kolkaasuu gacanta dibadda u bixiyey, oo soo qabtay iyadii, oo soo geliyey doonnidii.
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 out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 Kolkaasuu toddoba maalmood oo kale sugay; markaasuu mar kale qoolleydii doonnidii ka diray;
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
11 qoolleydiina waxay isagii ku soo noqotay fiidkii; oo afkana waxay ku wadatay caleen saytuun oo qoyan; kolkaasuu Nuux ogaaday in biyihii dhulka ka yaraadeen.
The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah [Rest] knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
12 Kolkaasuu toddoba maalmood oo kale sugay; dabadeedna qoolleydii buu diray; iyadiina mar dambe kuma ay soo noqon.
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
13 Oo waxaana dhacday sannaddii lix boqol iyo kowaad, bishii kowaad, maalinteedii kowaad, inay biyihii dhulka ka engegeen: Nuuxna daboolkii buu doonnidii ka qaaday, wuuna fiiriyey, oo bal eeg, dhulka dushiisu way engegnayd.
In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah [Rest] removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.
14 Oo bishii labaad, maalinteedii toddoba iyo labaatanaad, ayaa dhulka engegay.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Ilaahna Nuux buu la hadlay, isagoo leh,
God spoke to Noah [Rest], saying,
16 Doonnida ka baxa adiga, iyo naagtaada, iyo wiilashaada, iyo naagaha wiilashaada ee kula jiraba.
“Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Soo bixi wax kasta oo nool oo kula jooga, inta jidhka leh oo dhan, kuwaas oo ah haadda, iyo xoolaha, iyo waxa dhulka gurguurta oo dhan; si ay dhulka ugu bataan, oo ay wax badan u dhalaan, oo ay dhulka ugu tarmaan.
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
18 Nuuxna wuu baxay, isagii iyo wiilashiisii, iyo naagtiisii, iyo naagihii wiilashiisa ee la jirayba.
Noah [Rest] went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Dugaag kasta, iyo wax kasta oo gurguurta, iyo haad kasta, iyo wax alla wixii dhulka ku dhaqaaqaaba, jinsigoodii ayay doonnidii kala soo baxeen.
Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Nuuxna meel allabari buu Rabbiga u dhisay; xayawaankii daahirka ahaa iyo haaddii daahirka ahaydba, intuu wax ka qaatay, ayuu allabaryo la gubo ku bixiyey meeshii allabariga dusheeda.
Noah [Rest] built an altar to Adonai, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 Rabbiguna wuxuu uriyey caraftii udgoonayd, kolkaasuu Rabbigu iska yidhi qalbigiisa, Mar dambe dadka aawadiis dhulka uma habaari doono, maxaa yeelay, malaha qalbiga dadku waa shar tan iyo yaraantiisa; mar dambena ma aan dili doono wax kasta oo nool sidii aan yeelay.
Adonai smelled the pleasant aroma. Adonai said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.
22 Intuu dhulku jiro, beer abuurid, iyo beer goosasho, iyo qabow iyo kulayl, iyo gu iyo jiilaal, iyo habeen iyo maalin midnaba ma joogsan doono.
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
