< Genesis 8 >

1 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.
Te Lamatualain nda liliiꞌ Noh se ro basa banda mana sia ofai a. Naa de, Ana fee anin fuu nareꞌe oe mandaliꞌ a.
2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
Ana o tatana basa oe mataꞌ sia raefafoꞌ a, ma naloeꞌ udan mia lalai a.
3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters receded.
Boe ma oeꞌ a namakura. Basa fula lima ma, oeꞌ a nda naruꞌ naeꞌ sa ena.
4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
Ndaa no fula ka hitu na, fai sanahulu hitu ma, ofai a hara sia leteꞌ naruꞌ sa ata, nara na Ararat.
5 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.
Basa ma, oeꞌ a reꞌe nakandoo. Fula ka sanahulu na, fai ka esa na ma, mbuku-leteꞌ ra tonggo nara sou.
6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
Seli fai haa nulu ma, Noh soi ofai a jandela na esa.
7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
Ana mboꞌi mbui kaaꞌ esa. Mbuiꞌ naa natambele neu-nema losa oe mandali monaeꞌ a reꞌe tebꞌe ena. Ana nda baliꞌ ofai neu sa.
8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
Boe ma, Noh mboꞌi mbui lunda esa, fo nae nahine oeꞌ a reꞌe tebꞌe, do feꞌe hokoꞌ.
9 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.
Te huu oeꞌ a feꞌe ndule raefafoꞌ, de mbuiꞌ a nda hambu mamana teteeꞌ sa. De ana baliꞌ ofai neu. Noh loo lima na, de simbo nala baliꞌ mbuiꞌ a ofai rala neu.
10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
Noh nahati fai hitu fai, dei de ana mboꞌi seluꞌ mbuiꞌ a.
11 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.
Bꞌobꞌo naa ma, mbuiꞌ a baliꞌ seluꞌ nisiꞌ Noh, nendi saitun rooꞌ esa, fo ana feꞌe bito nala naa. Dei de, Noh bubꞌuluꞌ oeꞌ a meti tetebꞌes ena.
12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
Ana nahati fai hitu fai, de mboꞌi seluꞌ mbui lunda a. Te ia naa, mbuiꞌ a nda baliꞌ sa.
13 In the six hundred 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.
Noh too natun nee esa, ndaa no fai ka esa fula ka esa na ma, oeꞌ a meti tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ ena. Boe ma, Noh soi ofai a jandela na, de mete rereoꞌ ma nita rae a madꞌa ena.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Fula ka rua na, fai ka sanahulu hitu na ma, rae a madꞌa tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ ena.
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ no Noh nae,
16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
“Noh! Basa nggi onda mia ofai a leo.
17 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.”
Soi basa banda ra dea reu! Soi basa banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, no mbuiꞌ ra. Naa fo, basa se boe ramahefu, fo rasofe raefafoꞌ ia.”
18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
Basa de, Noh no sao na, ma ana nara, ma ana feto feu nara, dea reu mia ofai a. Basa banda ra o, dea reu, esa-esaꞌ no nonoo na.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 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.
Basa naa ma, Noh lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee LAMATUALAIN. Noh haꞌi nala banda beꞌe esaꞌ, mia basa banda fo bisa tao dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana mbau hala se, ma tunu se sia mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ a, fo dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee LAMATUALAIN.
21 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.
LAMATUALAIN hae nala tutunu-hohotuꞌ a maꞌafo meni na ma, rala Na namahoꞌo. De Ana duꞌa nae, “Mia faiꞌ ia, Au nda afiꞌ huku-doki raefafoꞌ a huu atahori deꞌulaka na sa. Onaꞌ mae ara duꞌa akaꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ o, Au nda afiꞌ tao ulutu basa masodꞌa ra sa, onaꞌ Au taoꞌ basaꞌ a ena.
22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
Mete ma raefafoꞌ a feꞌe sia, naa, fula-faiꞌ ia ra basa se laoꞌ rakandoo, tungga dala nara. Fula-fai sela-nggariꞌ no fula-fai etu-oruꞌ, fula-fai maꞌasufuꞌ no fula-fai matobꞌiꞌ, fula-fai relo-ai no fula-fai udꞌa-oeꞌ, ma rereloꞌ no tetembaꞌ, basa se lao tungga dala nara.”
