Pirmā Mozus 8

1 Un Dievs pieminēja Nou un visus zvērus un visus lopus, kas līdz ar to bija šķirstā, un Dievs deva vēju virs zemes, un ūdeņi nostājās.

Then God remembered Noah, and all living things, and all the cattle, which were with him in the ark, and he brought a wind across the earth, and the waters were diminished.

2 Un bezdibeņa avoti un debess logi tapa aizdarīti, un lietus no debess tapa aizturēts.

And the fountains of the abyss and the floodgates of heaven were closed. And the rain from heaven was restrained.

3 Un ūdeņi atgriezās no zemes virsas, šurp un turp tecēdami, un ūdeņi krita pēc simts un piecdesmit dienām.

And the waters were restored to their coming and going from the earth. And they began to diminish after one hundred and fifty days.

4 Un šķirsts nolaidās septītā mēnesī septiņpadsmitā mēneša dienā uz Ararata kalniem.

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.

5 Un ūdeņi notecēja šurp un turp līdz desmitam mēnesim; desmitā mēnesī un pirmā mēneša dienā rādījās kalnu gali.

Yet in truth, the waters were departing and decreasing until the tenth month. For in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tips of the mountains appeared.

6 Un notikās pēc četrdesmit dienām, tad Noa atvēra šķirsta logu, ko viņš bija taisījis,

And when forty days had passed, Noah, opening the window that he had made in the ark, sent forth a raven,

7 Un izlaida kraukli, un tas skraidīja šurp un turp, kamēr ūdeņi nosīka no zemes virsas.

which went forth and did not return, until the waters were dried up across the earth.

8 Pēc tam viņš izlaida balodi, lai redzētu, vai ūdeņi jau noskrējuši no zemes virsas.

Likewise, he sent forth a dove after him, in order to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.

9 Bet balodis neatrada, kur kāja varētu dusēt, un atgriezās pie viņa šķirstā, jo ūdeņi vēl bija pa visu zemes virsu; un viņš izstiepa savu roku un to satvēra un ņēma pie sevis šķirstā.

But when she did not find a place where her foot might rest, she returned to him in the ark. For the waters were upon the whole earth. And he extended his hand and caught her, and he brought her into the ark.

10 Un pagaidīja vēl citas septiņas dienas un izlaida atkal balodi no šķirsta ārā.

And then, having waited a further seven days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.

11 Un balodis nāca pie viņa ap vakara laiku, un redzi, norauta eļļas koka lapa bija viņa mutē. Tad Noa noprata, ka ūdeņi bija noskrējuši no zemes virsas,

And she came to him in the evening, carrying in her mouth an olive branch with green leaves. Noah then understood that the waters had ceased upon the earth.

12 Un pagaidīja vēl citas septiņas dienas un izlaida balodi, un tas negriezās vairs atpakaļ pie viņa.

And nevertheless, he waited another seven days. And he sent forth the dove, which no longer returned to him.

13 Un notikās sešsimt pirmajā gadā, pirmā mēnesī, pirmā mēneša (dienā), tad ūdeņi izsīka no zemes virsas, un Noa noņēma šķirsta jumtu un skatījās, un redzi, zemes virsa bija apžuvusi.

Therefore, in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were diminished upon the earth. And Noah, opening the cover of the ark, gazed out and saw that the surface of the earth had become dry.

14 Un otrā mēnesī, divdesmit septītā mēneša dienā, zeme bija nožuvusi.

In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was made dry.

15 Tad Dievs runāja uz Nou sacīdams:

Then God spoke to Noah, saying:

16 Izej no šķirsta, tu un tava sieva un tavi dēli un tavas vedeklas līdz ar tevi,

“Go out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and the wives of your sons with you.

17 Visas dzīvības, kas pie tevis, no ikkatras miesas, no putniem un no lopiem un no visiem līdējiem tārpiem virs zemes, tie lai iziet līdz ar tevi, un lai tie pulkiem rodas un augļojās virs zemes.

Bring out with you all the living things that are with you, all that is flesh: as with the birds, so also with the wild beasts and all the animals that move upon the earth. And enter upon the land: increase and multiply upon it.”

18 Tad Noa izgāja un līdz ar viņu viņa dēli un viņa sieva un viņa vedeklas,

And so Noah and his sons went out, and his wife and the wives of his sons with him.

19 Visi zvēri, visi tārpi un visi putni, viss, kas virs zemes kust, izgāja no šķirsta pēc savām sugām.

Then also all living things, and the cattle, and the animals that move upon the earth, according to their kinds, departed from the ark.

20 Un Noa uztaisīja Tam Kungam altāri un ņēma no visiem šķīstiem lopiem un no visiem šķīstiem putniem un upurēja Tam Kungam dedzināmos upurus uz tā altāra.

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord. And, taking from each of the cattle and birds that were clean, he offered holocausts upon the altar.

21 Un Tas Kungs oda to saldo smaržu un sacīja Savā sirdī: “Es joprojām vairs nenolādēšu zemi cilvēka dēļ, jo cilvēka sirdsprāts ir ļauns no mazām dienām, un Es joprojām vairs negribu samaitāt visu, kas dzīvo, kā esmu darījis.

And the Lord smelled the sweet odor and said: “I will no longer curse the earth because of man. For the feelings and thoughts of the heart of man are prone to evil from his youth. Therefore, I will no longer pierce every living soul as I have done.

22 Kamēr būs dienas virs zemes, nemitēsies sēšana un pļaušana, aukstums un karstums, vasara un ziema, diena un nakts.”

All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, will not cease.”
