Bilowgii 8
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;
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 ilihii moolka iyo dariishadihii samaduna way awdmeen; roobkii samadana waa la joojiyey;
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 biyihiina had iyo goorba dhulkay ka noqonayeen, oo boqol iyo konton maalmood dabadood ayaa biyihii dhinmeen.
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 Oo bishii toddobaad, maalinteedii toddoba iyo tobnaad, ayay doonnidii ku fadhiisatay buuraha Araarad.
(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 Biyihiina way sii dhinmayeen ilaa bishii tobnaad. Bishii tobnaad, maalinteedii kowaad, ayaa buuraha dushoodii la arkay.
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 Waxaana dhacday in afartan maalmood dabadood Nuux furay dariishaddii doonnidii uu sameeyey;
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 oo wuxuu dibadda u diray tuke, hor iyo dib buuna u duulayay, ilaa intay biyihii ka engegeen dhulka dushiisa.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 Dabadeedna wuxuu diray qoolley si uu u ogaado bal in biyihii dhulka dushiisa ka yaraadeen iyo in kale;
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on 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 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 Kolkaasuu toddoba maalmood oo kale sugay; markaasuu mar kale qoolleydii doonnidii ka diray;
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
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.
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 Kolkaasuu toddoba maalmood oo kale sugay; dabadeedna qoolleydii buu diray; iyadiina mar dambe kuma ay soo noqon.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
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.
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 Oo bishii labaad, maalinteedii toddoba iyo labaatanaad, ayaa dhulka engegay.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 Ilaahna Nuux buu la hadlay, isagoo leh,
Then God said to Noah,
16 Doonnida ka baxa adiga, iyo naagtaada, iyo wiilashaada, iyo naagaha wiilashaada ee kula jiraba.
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
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 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 Nuuxna wuu baxay, isagii iyo wiilashiisii, iyo naagtiisii, iyo naagihii wiilashiisa ee la jirayba.
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
19 Dugaag kasta, iyo wax kasta oo gurguurta, iyo haad kasta, iyo wax alla wixii dhulka ku dhaqaaqaaba, jinsigoodii ayay doonnidii kala soo baxeen.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Intuu dhulku jiro, beer abuurid, iyo beer goosasho, iyo qabow iyo kulayl, iyo gu iyo jiilaal, iyo habeen iyo maalin midnaba ma joogsan doono.
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.”
