Genesis 8
1 At naalaala ng Dios si Noe, at ang lahat ng may buhay, at ang lahat ng hayop na kasama niya sa sasakyan: at nagpahihip ang Dios ng isang hangin sa ibabaw ng lupa, at humupa ang tubig;
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 Natakpan din ang mga bukal ng kalaliman at ang mga dungawan ng langit, at napigil ang ulan sa langit;
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 At humupang patuloy ang tubig sa lupa; at kumati ang tubig pagkaraan ng isang daan at limang pung araw.
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 At sumadsad ang sasakyan nang ikapitong buwan, nang ikalabing pitong araw ng buwan, sa ibabaw ng mga bundok ng Ararat.
(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 At ang tubig ay nagpatuloy ng paghupa hanggang sa ikasangpung buwan: nang ikasangpung buwan, nang unang araw ng buwan, ay nakita ang mga taluktok ng mga bundok.
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 At nangyari, pagkaraan ng apat na pung araw, na binuksan ni Noe ang dungawan ng sasakyan na kaniyang ginawa:
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 At siya'y nagpalipad ng isang uwak, at ito'y nagparoo't parito hanggang sa natuyo ang tubig sa lupa.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 At nagpalipad siya ng isang kalapati, upang tingnan kung humupa na ang tubig sa ibabaw ng lupa.
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on the ground.
9 Datapuwa't hindi nakasumpong ang kalapati ng madapuan ng talampakan ng kaniyang paa, at nagbalik sa kaniya sa sasakyan, sapagka't ang tubig ay nangasa ibabaw pa ng buong lupa: at iniunat ang kaniyang kamay at hinawakan, at ipinasok niya sa sasakyan.
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 At naghintay pa ng muling pitong araw; at muling pinalipad ang kalapati sa labas ng sasakyan;
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
11 At ang kalapati ay nagbalik sa kaniya ng dakong hapon; at, narito't may dalang isang dahong sariwa ng olivo sa tuka: sa gayon ay naunawa ni Noe na humupa na ang tubig sa lupa.
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 At naghintay pang muli siya ng pitong araw; at pinalipad ang kalapati; at hindi na muling nagbalik pa sa kaniya.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 At nangyari, nang taong ikaanim na raan at isa, nang unang buwan, nang unang araw ng buwan, ay natuyo ang tubig sa ibabaw ng lupa: at inalis ni Noe ang takip ng sasakyan at tumanaw siya, at, narito't ang ibabaw ng lupa ay tuyo.
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 At nang ikalawang buwan nang ikadalawang pu't pitong araw ng buwan, ay natuyo ang lupa.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 At nagsalita ang Dios kay Noe, na sinasabi,
Then God said to Noah,
16 Lumunsad ka sa sasakyan, ikaw at ang iyong asawa, at ang iyong mga anak, at ang mga asawa ng iyong mga anak na kasama mo.
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
17 Ilabas mong kasama mo ang bawa't may buhay na kasama mo sa lahat ng laman, ang mga ibon, at ang mga hayop, at ang bawa't nagsisiusad na umuusad sa ibabaw ng lupa; upang magsipanganak ng sagana sa lupa, at magpalaanakin, at mangagsidami sa ibabaw ng lupa.
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 At lumunsad si Noe, at ang kaniyang mga anak, at ang kaniyang asawa, at ang mga asawa ng kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya:
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
19 Ang bawa't hayop, bawa't umuusad, at bawa't ibon, anomang gumagalaw sa ibabaw ng lupa ayon sa kanikaniyang angkan ay nangagsilunsad sa sasakyan.
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 At ipinagtayo ni Noe ng isang dambana ang Panginoon; at kumuha sa lahat na malinis na hayop, at sa lahat na malinis na ibon, at nagalay ng mga handog na susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana.
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 At sinamyo ng Panginoon ang masarap na amoy; at nagsabi ang Panginoon sa sarili, Hindi ko na muling susumpain ang lupa, dahil sa tao, sapagka't ang haka ng puso ng tao ay masama mula sa kaniyang pagkabata; ni hindi ko na muling lilipulin pa ang lahat na nabubuhay na gaya ng aking ginawa.
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 Samantalang ang lupa ay lumalagi, ay hindi maglilikat ang paghahasik at pagaani, at ang lamig at init, at ang tagaraw at taginaw, at ang araw at gabi.
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.”
