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.
But God (did not forget/thought) about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water [to begin] to recede.
2 Gbogbo ìsun ibú àti fèrèsé ìṣàn ọ̀run tì, òjò pẹ̀lú sì dáwọ́ rírọ̀ dúró.
God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.
3 Omi sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, lẹ́yìn àádọ́jọ ọjọ́, ó sì ti ń fà.
The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,
4 Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlógún oṣù kejì ni ọkọ̀ náà gúnlẹ̀ sórí òkè Ararati.
(on the 17th day of the seventh month [of that year/late in March]), the boat came to rest on one of the mountains in the Ararat region.
5 Omi náà sì ń gbẹ si títí di oṣù kẹwàá. Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kẹwàá, orí àwọn òkè sì farahàn.
The water continued to recede until, on the first day of the tenth month [of that year], the tops of other mountains became visible.
6 Lẹ́yìn ogójì ọjọ́, Noa sí fèrèsé tí ó ṣe sára ọkọ̀.
40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.
7 Ó sì rán ẹyẹ ìwò kan jáde, tí ó ń fò káàkiri síwá àti sẹ́yìn títí omi fi gbẹ kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀.
The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.
8 Ó sì rán àdàbà kan jáde láti wò ó bóyá omi ti gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on 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 did not find any place to perch, so it flew back to Noah in the boat, because there was still water all over the surface of the earth. So Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back inside the boat.
10 Ó sì dúró fún ọjọ́ méje sí i; ó sì tún rán àdàbà náà jáde láti inú ọkọ̀.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.
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.
This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, [surprisingly], in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground.
12 Noa tún mú sùúrù fún ọjọ́ méje, ó sì tún rán àdàbà náà jáde, ṣùgbọ́n àdàbà náà kò padà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́.
Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
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.
Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month [of the Jewish year], the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying.
14 Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlọ́gbọ̀n oṣù kejì, ilẹ̀ ti gbẹ pátápátá.
By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.
15 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún Noa pé.
Then God said to Noah,
16 “Jáde kúrò nínú ọkọ̀, ìwọ àti aya rẹ, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti àwọn aya wọn.
“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.
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 all the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that scurry across the ground, in order that they can spread all over the earth and become very numerous.”
18 Noa, àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, aya rẹ̀ àti àwọn aya ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jáde.
So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.
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 kind of creature, including all those that scurry across the ground, all the birds, every creature that moves on the earth, left the boat. They left the boat in groups of their own species.
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.
Then Noah built a (stone altar/place for offering sacrifices) to Yahweh. Then he took some of the animals that Yahweh had said were acceptable as sacrifices and killed them. Then he burned them whole 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.
When Yahweh smelled the pleasant odor, he was pleased with the sacrifice. Then he said to himself, “I will never again devastate everything on the earth because of the sinful things people do. Even though everything that people think is evil from the time they are young, I will not destroy all the living creatures again, as I did this time.
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.”
As long as the earth exists, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.”
