< Genesis 8 >

1 Ọlọ́run sì rántí Noa àti ohun alààyè gbogbo tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, bí àwọn ẹranko igbó àti ohun ọ̀sìn, ó sì mú kí afẹ́fẹ́ fẹ́ sórí ilẹ̀, omi náà sì fà.
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 Gbogbo ìsun ibú àti fèrèsé ìṣàn ọ̀run tì, òjò pẹ̀lú sì dáwọ́ rírọ̀ dúró.
And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Omi sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, lẹ́yìn àádọ́jọ ọjọ́, ó sì ti ń fà.
And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
4 Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlógún oṣù kejì ni ọkọ̀ náà gúnlẹ̀ sórí òkè Ararati.
And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 Omi náà sì ń gbẹ si títí di oṣù kẹwàá. Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kẹwàá, orí àwọn òkè sì farahàn.
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 Lẹ́yìn ogójì ọjọ́, Noa sí fèrèsé tí ó ṣe sára ọkọ̀.
It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 Ó sì rán ẹyẹ ìwò kan jáde, tí ó ń fò káàkiri síwá àti sẹ́yìn títí omi fi gbẹ kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀.
and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 Ó sì rán àdàbà kan jáde láti wò ó bóyá omi ti gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground,
9 Ṣùgbọ́n àdàbà náà kò rí ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ bà lé nítorí omi kò tí ì tan lórí ilẹ̀, ó sì padà sọ́dọ̀ Noa. Noa na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde ó sì mú ẹyẹ náà wọlé sọ́dọ̀ ara rẹ̀ nínú ọkọ̀.
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 Ó sì dúró fún ọjọ́ méje sí i; ó sì tún rán àdàbà náà jáde láti inú ọkọ̀.
And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
11 Nígbà tí àdàbà náà padà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní àṣálẹ́, ó já ewé igi olifi tútù há ẹnu! Nígbà náà ni Noa mọ̀ pé omi ti ń gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
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 Noa tún mú sùúrù fún ọjọ́ méje, ó sì tún rán àdàbà náà jáde, ṣùgbọ́n àdàbà náà kò padà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́.
He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.
13 Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní, ní ọdún kọ́kànlélẹ́gbẹ̀ta ni omi náà gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀; Noa sì ṣí ọkọ̀, ó sì ri pé ilẹ̀ ti gbẹ.
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 Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlọ́gbọ̀n oṣù kejì, ilẹ̀ ti gbẹ pátápátá.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún Noa pé.
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 “Jáde kúrò nínú ọkọ̀, ìwọ àti aya rẹ, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti àwọn aya wọn.
"Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Kó gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ jáde: àwọn ẹyẹ, ẹranko àti gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀dá tí ń rìn nílẹ̀, kí wọn lè bí sí i, kí wọn sì pọ̀ sí i, kí wọn sì máa gbá yìn lórí ilẹ̀.”
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 Noa, àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, aya rẹ̀ àti àwọn aya ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jáde.
And Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Gbogbo àwọn ẹranko àti àwọn ẹ̀dá tí ń rìn nílẹ̀ àti gbogbo ẹyẹ pátápátá ni ó jáde kúrò nínú ọkọ̀, ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́ ní irú tiwọn.
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 Noa sì mọ pẹpẹ fún Olúwa, ó sì mú lára àwọn ẹran tí ó mọ́ àti ẹyẹ tí ó mọ́, ó sì fi rú ẹbọ sísun lórí pẹpẹ.
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 Olúwa sì gbọ́ òórùn dídùn; ó sì wí ní ọkàn rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi kì yóò tún fi ilẹ̀ ré nítorí ènìyàn mọ, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé gbogbo èrò inú rẹ̀ jẹ́ ibi láti ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ wá, èmi kì yóò pa gbogbo ohun alààyè run mọ́ láé, bí mo ti ṣe.
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 “Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ayé bá sì wà, ìgbà ọ̀gbìn àti ìgbà ìkórè ìgbà òtútù àti ìgbà ooru, ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn àti ìgbà òjò, ìgbà ọ̀sán àti ìgbà òru, yóò wà títí láé.”
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
