1 Mose 8
1 Nanso Onyankopɔn kaee Noa ne wuram mmoa a na wɔne no wɔ Adaka no mu no, na ɔmaa mframa bɔ faa asase so, na nsu no twee.
And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
2 Asuti a ɛwowɔ asase ase no mu nsu a ɛbobɔe no gyaee ba, na ɔsoro mfɛnsere no nso mu toto maa osu no gyaee tɔ.
the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 Nsu no toaa so twe fii asase so. Nnafua ɔha ne aduonum akyi no, na nsu no atwe koraa.
and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunson so, Adaka no kɔtaa Ararat mmepɔw so.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 Nsu no toaa so, twee ara kosii ɔsram a ɛto so du no so. Na ɔsram no da a edi kan no, mmepɔw no atifi daa adi.
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 Adaduanan akyi no, Noa buee mfɛnsere a otwa too Adaka no ho no,
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 na ɔsomaa kwaakwaadabi ma odii akɔneaba kosii sɛ nsu no nyinaa yow fii asase no so.
and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Afei, ɔsomaa aborɔnoma sɛ ɔnkɔhwɛ sɛ asase no so awo ana.
And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 Nanso aborɔnoma no annya baabi ansi, efisɛ na nsu no akata asase no so nyinaa. Enti ɔsan baa Noa nkyɛn ma Noa teɛɛ ne nsa soo ne mu de no baa Adaka no mu.
but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
10 Noa twɛn nnanson, na ɛno akyi no, ɔsan somaa aborɔnoma no bio.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 Bere a aborɔnoma no san baa ne nkyɛn anwummere no, na ngodua ahabammono a watew tua nʼano. Ɛno na ɛmaa Noa huu sɛ nsu no atwe afi asase no so.
and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Noa twɛn nnanson bio, na ɔsan somaa aborɔnoma no, nanso wansan amma ne nkyɛn bio.
And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
13 Na ɛbaa sɛ Noa dii mfe ahansia ne baako, ɔsram a edi kan no mu da a edi kan no, na nsu no atwe afi asase no so. Enti Noa yii Adaka no suhyɛ no, na ohuu sɛ asase so awo.
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
14 Ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a ɛto so aduonu ason so no na asase no so woo koraa.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
15 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa se,
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 “Wo ne wo yere ne wo mmabarima ne wɔn yerenom mfi Adaka no mu mpue.
Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17 Yi abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a wɔwɔ wo nkyɛn, a ɛyɛ nnomaa, mmoa ne mmoa a wɔnam asase so nyinaa fi Adaka no mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn ase bɛdɔ wɔ asase so.”
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 Enti Noa ne ne mmabarima ne ne yere ne ne mmabarima yerenom fii Adaka no mu.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
19 Mmoa no nyinaa ne abɔde a wɔnam asase so nyinaa ne nnomaa nyinaa ne biribiara a ɛnam asase so nyinaa fii Adaka no mu saa ara mmaako mmaako.
every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 Na Noa sii afɔremuka maa Awurade. Ɔfaa mmoa ne nnomaa a wɔn ho tew, de bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so.
And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 Awurade tee afɔre a Noa bɔe no huam no, ɔkaa wɔ ne koma mu se, “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ bɔne ahyɛ onipa koma ma fi ne mmofraase de, nanso merenni onipa akyi nnome asase bio. Na merensɛe abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu bio sɛnea mayɛ yi.
And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for that the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.
22 “Mmere dodow a asase da so wɔ hɔ yi, ogu ne otwa, awɔw ne ahuhuru, asusow ne ɔpɛ, awia ne anadwo to rentwa da.”
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
