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 Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.
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.
And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.
3 Nsu no toaa so twe fii asase so. Nnafua ɔha ne aduonum akyi no, na nsu no atwe koraa.
And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
4 Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunson so, Adaka no kɔtaa Ararat mmepɔw so.
And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.
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 in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.
6 Adaduanan akyi no, Noa buee mfɛnsere a otwa too Adaka no ho no,
And it came to pass after forty days Noe 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 and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.
8 Afei, ɔsomaa aborɔnoma sɛ ɔnkɔhwɛ sɛ asase no so awo ana.
And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.
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.
And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.
10 Noa twɛn nnanson, na ɛno akyi no, ɔsan somaa aborɔnoma no bio.
And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from 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 returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.
12 Noa twɛn nnanson bio, na ɔsan somaa aborɔnoma no, nanso wansan amma ne nkyɛn bio.
And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again 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 of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.
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 the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.
15 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa se,
And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,
16 “Wo ne wo yere ne wo mmabarima ne wɔn yerenom mfi Adaka no mu mpue.
Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
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.”
And all the wild beasts as many as are with you, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with you: and increase you and multiply upon the earth.
18 Enti Noa ne ne mmabarima ne ne yere ne ne mmabarima yerenom fii Adaka no mu.
And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, 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.
And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came 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 Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering upon 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 the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh 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.”
All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.
