1 Mose 8
1 Nanso, Onyankopɔn kaee Noa ne wiram mmoa a na wɔne no wɔ adaka no mu no. Onyankopɔn maa mframa bɔ faa asase so, na nsuo no tweeɛ.
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters abated;
2 Nsutire a ɛwɔ asase ase no mu nsuo a ɛbɔeɛ no gyaee ba, na ɛsoro mpomma no nso mu totoeɛ, maa nsuo no gyaee tɔ.
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 Nsuo no toaa so twe firii asase so. Nnafua ɔha ne aduonum akyiri no, na nsuo no atwe koraa.
And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 Bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunson so, Adaka no kɔtaa Ararat mmepɔ so.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 Nsuo no toaa so, tweeɛ ara kɔsii ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so edu no so. Na ɔbosome edu no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, mmepɔ no atifi daa adi.
And the waters decreased continually till the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 Adaduanan akyiri no, Noa buee mpomma a ɔtwa 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 ɔdii akɔneaba kɔsii sɛ nsuo no nyinaa we firii asase no so.
And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, till the waters were dried from off the earth.
8 Afei, ɔsomaa aborɔnoma sɛ, ɔnkɔhwɛ sɛ asase no so awo anaa.
Also 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, ɛfiri sɛ, na nsuo no akata asase no so nyinaa. Enti, ɔsane baa Noa nkyɛn, maa Noa tenee ne nsa sɔɔ ne mu de no baa Adaka no mu.
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.
10 Noa twɛn nnanson, na ɛno akyiri no, ɔsane somaa aborɔnoma no bio.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 Ɛberɛ a aborɔnoma no sane baa ne nkyɛn anwummerɛ no, na ngo dua ahahammono a wate tua nʼano. Ɛno na ɛmaa Noa hunuu sɛ, nsuo no atwe afiri asase no so.
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Noa twɛnee nnanson bio, na ɔsane somaa aborɔnoma no, nanso wansane amma ne nkyɛn bio.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again to him any more.
13 Na ɛbaa sɛ Noa dii mfeɛ ahansia ne baako, bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no mu ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, na nsuo no atwe afiri asase no so. Enti, Noa yii adaka no suhyɛ no, na ɔhunuu sɛ, asase so awo.
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14 Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so aduonu nson 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 dried.
15 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa sɛ,
And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Wo ne wo yere ne wo mmammarima ne wɔn yerenom mfiri adaka no mu mfi.
Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17 Afei, yi abɔdeɛ biara a nkwa wɔ mu a wɔwɔ wo nkyɛn, a ɛyɛ nnomaa, mmoa ne mmoa a wɔnam asase so nyinaa firi adaka no mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔn ase bɛdɔre wɔ asase so.”
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.
18 Enti, Noa ne ne mmammarima ne ne yere ne ne mmammarima yerenom firii adaka no mu.
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
19 Mmoa no nyinaa ne abɔdeɛ a wɔnam asase so nyinaa ne nnomaa nyinaa ne biribiara a ɛnam asase so ahodoɔ nyinaa firii Adaka no mu saa ara mmaako mmaako.
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.
20 Afei, Noa sii afɔrebukyia maa Awurade. Ɔfaa mmoa ne nnomaa a wɔn ho te, de bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
And Noah built an altar to the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 Awurade tee afɔdeɛ no a Noa bɔeɛ no hwam a ɛyɛ no, ɔkaa wɔ nʼakoma mu sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ bɔne ahyɛ onipa akoma ma firi ne mmɔfraase deɛ, nanso merenni onipa akyiri nnome asase bio. Na merensɛe abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu bio sɛdeɛ mayɛ yi.
And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every living thing, as I have done.
22 “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a asase da so wɔ hɔ yi, oguo ne otwa, awɔ ne ahuhuro, asusɔ ne ɔpɛ, owia ne anadwo rentwam da.”
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
