Senesi 8
1 Pea naʻe manatu ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ʻi he vaka mo ia: pea naʻe pule ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻalu atu ʻae matangi ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea naʻe matuku ai ʻae ngaahi vai;
And God remembered Noah, and all the wild animals, and all the tame animals, and all the flying creatures, and all the crawling creatures that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters began to recede.
2 Naʻe tāpuni foki ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe moana mo e ngaahi matavai ʻoe langi, pea naʻe taʻofi ʻae ʻuha mei he langi;
And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei māmani: pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻae ʻaho ʻe teau ma nimangofulu kuo siʻi ʻae ngaahi vai.
And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
4 Pea naʻe toka ʻae vaka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻAlalate, ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe māhina.
And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 Pea naʻe fakasiʻisiʻi maʻuaipē ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ʻoe [māhina]: naʻe ha hake ʻae tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga ʻi hono hongofulu māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻoe māhina.
The waters receded continually to the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 Pea ʻi he hili ange ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, naʻe toʻo ʻe Noa ʻae matapā ʻoe vaka ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi:
It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 Pea naʻa ne tukuange ha leveni, ʻaia naʻe feʻaluʻaki, kaeʻoua ke matuʻu ʻae ngaahi vai mei he funga ʻo māmani.
and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 Naʻa ne tukuange foki ha lupe meiate ia, ke vakai pe kuo matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei he funga ʻoe kelekele;
Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground,
9 Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he lupe ha tuʻuʻanga ki hono ʻaofi vaʻe, pea naʻe foki ia kiate ia ki he vaka, he naʻe ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa ʻae ngaahi vai: pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima, ʻo toʻo pea ʻomi ia kiate ia ki he vaka.
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 forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 Pea naʻe toe tatali ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea ne toe tukuange ʻae lupe mei he vaka;
And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
11 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae lupe kiate ia ʻi he efiafi; pea vakai, kuo ʻi hono ngutu ʻae lauʻi ʻolive kuo ne pakiʻi: pea toki ʻilo ai ʻe Noa kuo matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei he māmani.
The dove came back to him at evening, and, look, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had abated from the earth.
12 Pea toe tatali ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea tuku atu ai ʻae lupe; pea naʻe ʻikai toe foki mai ia kiate ia.
He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.
13 Pea ʻi he hoko ki hono onongeau ma taha taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki [māhina], ʻi he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻoe māhina, naʻe matuʻu ai ʻae ngaahi vai mei he fonua; pea naʻe hiki ʻe Noa ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻoe vaka, ʻo sio, pea vakai, kuo mōmoa ʻae funga ʻoe kelekele.
And it happened in the six hundred first year of Noah's life, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters had dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ship and looked out. And look, the surface of the ground was dry.
14 Pea naʻe mōmoa ʻae fonua ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono uofulu ma fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, ʻo pehē,
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “ʻAlu atu mei he vaka, ʻa koe, mo ho uaifi, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo ho ngaahi foha mo koe.
"Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Omi mo koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu, pea mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he fonua; koeʻuhi kenau fanafanau ʻo lahi ʻi he fonua pea tupu, pea fakatokolahi ʻi māmani.”
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, of flying creatures, and animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."
18 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Noa, mo hono ngaahi foha, mo hono uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo hono ngaahi foha mo ia:
And Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Naʻe ʻalu atu mei he vaka, ʻi honau faʻahinga, ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he fonua.
And every wild animal, and every tame animal, and every flying creature, and every creature that crawls on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Noa ha ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova; pea naʻa ne toʻo mei he fanga manu maʻa kotoa pē, pea mei he fanga manupuna naʻe maʻa, pea ʻohake ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau.
Noah built an altar to God, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean flying creature, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 Pea naʻe nanamu ʻa Sihova ki hono ngangatu lelei, pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ʻi hono finangalo, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko e tangata; he ʻoku kovi ʻae ngaōʻi ʻoe loto ʻoe tangata mei heʻene kei siʻi; pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe taaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fai.
And God smelled the pleasing aroma, and God said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, even though the inclination of his heart is evil from his youth, nor will I again destroy every living thing, as I have done.
22 Lolotonga ʻae tuʻu ʻa māmani, ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻae tō taʻu mo e ututaʻu, mo e momoko mo e pupuha, mo e faʻahitaʻu mafana mo e faʻahitaʻu momoko, mo e ʻaho mo e pō.”
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
