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.
God remembered Noah [Rest], all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
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 deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Nsu no toaa so twe fii asase so. Nnafua ɔha ne aduonum akyi no, na nsu no atwe koraa.
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.
4 Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunson so, Adaka no kɔtaa Ararat mmepɔw so.
The ship rested in the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]·, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
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.
The waters receded continually until the tenth month Tevet ·Ten (in Hebrew) / Good (In Aramaic), 10·. In the tenth month Tevet ·Ten (in Hebrew) / Good (In Aramaic), 10·, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 Adaduanan akyi no, Noa buee mfɛnsere a otwa too Adaka no ho no,
At the end of forty days, Noah [Rest] opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 na ɔsomaa kwaakwaadabi ma odii akɔneaba kosii sɛ nsu no nyinaa yow fii asase no so.
and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Afei, ɔsomaa aborɔnoma sɛ ɔnkɔhwɛ sɛ asase no so awo ana.
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface 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 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 out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 Noa twɛn nnanson, na ɛno akyi no, ɔsan somaa aborɔnoma no bio.
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
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.
The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah [Rest] knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
12 Noa twɛn nnanson bio, na ɔsan somaa aborɔnoma no, nanso wansan amma ne nkyɛn bio.
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to 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.
In the six hundred first year, in the first month Nissan ·Miracles (in Aramaic), 1·, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah [Rest] removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface 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.
In the second month (Iyar ·Light / I Am God your healer, 2·), on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa se,
God spoke to Noah [Rest], saying,
16 “Wo ne wo yere ne wo mmabarima ne wɔn yerenom mfi Adaka no mu mpue.
“Go out of the ship, 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.”
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
18 Enti Noa ne ne mmabarima ne ne yere ne ne mmabarima yerenom fii Adaka no mu.
Noah [Rest] went out, with his sons, 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 animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Na Noa sii afɔremuka maa Awurade. Ɔfaa mmoa ne nnomaa a wɔn ho tew, de bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so.
Noah [Rest] built an altar to Adonai, and took of every clean animal, 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.
Adonai smelled the pleasant aroma. Adonai said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, 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 remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
