< 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.
God remembered Noah, 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 Gbogbo ìsun ibú àti fèrèsé ìṣàn ọ̀run tì, òjò pẹ̀lú sì dáwọ́ rírọ̀ dúró.
The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, 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.
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters receded.
4 Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàdínlógún oṣù kejì ni ọkọ̀ náà gúnlẹ̀ sórí òkè Ararati.
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
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 until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 Lẹ́yìn ogójì ọjọ́, Noa sí fèrèsé tí ó ṣe sára ọkọ̀.
At the end of forty days, 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 out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Ó sì rán àdàbà kan jáde láti wò ó bóyá omi ti gbẹ kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were 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 into the ship to him, 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 Ó sì dúró fún ọjọ́ méje sí i; ó sì tún rán àdàbà náà jáde láti inú ọkọ̀.
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent 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, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were 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 waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t 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.
In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that 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, your wife, 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, 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 Noa, àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, aya rẹ̀ àti àwọn aya ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jáde.
Noah went out, 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.
Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves 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 the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, 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.
The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD 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 “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 will not cease.”
