< 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—beasts and all the tame-beasts that were with him in the ark, —and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided;
2 Gbogbo ìsun ibú àti fèrèsé ìṣàn ọ̀run tì, òjò pẹ̀lú sì dáwọ́ rírọ̀ dúró.
and the fountains of the roaring-deep were shut, and the windows of the heavens, —and the heavy rain was restrained from the heavens;
3 Omi sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, lẹ́yìn àádọ́jọ ọjọ́, ó sì ti ń fà.
and the waters returned from off the earth they went on returning, —and so the waters decreased at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
4 Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlógún oṣù kejì ni ọkọ̀ náà gúnlẹ̀ sórí òkè Ararati.
And the ark rested, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, —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.
But, the waters went on decreasing, until the tenth month, —in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, were seen the tops of the mountains.
6 Lẹ́yìn ogójì ọjọ́, Noa sí fèrèsé tí ó ṣe sára ọkọ̀.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark that 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 sent forth a raven, —and it kept going forth and returning, until the drying up of the waters from off the earth.
8 Ó sì rán àdàbà kan jáde láti wò ó bóyá omi ti gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
And he sent forth a dove from him, —to see whether the waters had abated, from off the face 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 resting-place for the sole of her foot so she returned unto him into the ark, for, waters, were on the face of all the earth; and he put forth his hand and took her, and brought her in unto him, into the ark.
10 Ó sì dúró fún ọjọ́ méje sí i; ó sì tún rán àdàbà náà jáde láti inú ọkọ̀.
Then stayed he yet seven days more, —and, again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
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.
And the dove came in unto him at eventide, and lo! a newly sprouted olive-leaf, in her mouth, —so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off 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.
And he stayed yet seven days more, —and sent forth the dove, but she returned not again unto 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.
So it came to pass in the six hundred and first year at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried up from off the earth, —and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked and lo! the face of the ground was dried.
14 Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlọ́gbọ̀n oṣù kejì, ilẹ̀ ti gbẹ pátápátá.
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dry.
15 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún Noa pé.
So then, God spake to Noah, saying:
16 “Jáde kúrò nínú ọkọ̀, ìwọ àti aya rẹ, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti àwọn aya wọn.
Come forth out of the ark, —thou and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
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.”
All the living creatures that are with thee of all flesh among birds, and among beasts, and among all the creeping things that creep on the earth, bring forth with thee, —and they shall swarm in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply, on the earth.
18 Noa, àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, aya rẹ̀ àti àwọn aya ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jáde.
So Noah came forth, —and his sons and 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.
All the living creatures, all that move along, and all birds, and all that moveth along over the earth—by their families, came forth out of the ark.
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.
And Noah builded an altar to Yahweh, —and took of all the clean beasts and of all the clean birds, and caused ascending Sacrifices to go up 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 Yahweh smelled a satisfying odour, so Yahweh said to himself. I will not, again, curse any more the ground for man’s sake, although the device of the heart of man, be wicked from his youth, —neither will I again, any more smite 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.”
During all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
