Genesisy 8

1 Nitiahin’Andrianañahare t’i Nòake naho ze raha veloñe iaby naho ze hene biby nindre ama’e an-dakam‑polo-ay ao. Le nampitiofen’ Añahare ambone’ ty tane toy ty tioke vaho nipendreñe i ranoy;

And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.

2 najihetse iaby ze nitorotositse boak’ an-tsikeokeok’ ao naho o lalan-dikerañeo, naho nisebañeñe ty rano boak’an-dindiñe eñe;

And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.

3 vaho nitolom-pike­trak’ an-tane atoy i ranoy. Ie modo ty zato tsy limampolo andro le fa nizetse i ranoy;

And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

4 le ami’ty volam-paha-fito, ami’ty andro faha folo-fito’ ambi’ i volañey le nisampe ambone’ ty vohits’ Ararate eo i lakam-poloaiy.

And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.

5 Nitolom-pizetse avao i ranoy am-para’ ty volam-paha-folo; ie am-baloha’ i volam-pahafoloy le niboake o lengom-bohitseo.

And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.

6 Ie nimodo ka ty efa-polo andro le sinoka’ i Nòake i lalan-kede namboare’e amy lakam-poloaiiy

And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the window of the ark which he had made.

7 vaho nañirake koàke; nihelahela avao re ampara’ te nimaike ty rano ambone’ tane atoy.

And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.

8 Nampandenà’e boak’ama’e ka ty deho ho mb’eo hahaoniñe hera nizetse an-tane atoy i ranoy;

And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.

9 fe tsy nahatrea ty hipetahan-tombo’e i dehoy, le nimpoly mb’an-dakam-poloay ao fa mboe nihanañe ambone’ ty tane toy iaby i ranoy. Aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e naho rinambe’e vaho nazili’e ho ama’e an-dakañe ao.

And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.

10 Mbe nandiñe fito andro ka le nampisangitrife’e mb’eo boak’ amy lakañey indraike i dehoy;

And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.

11 ie amy harivay, nimpoly ama’e i dehoy, am-bava’e ao ty raven-olive nipotore’e anianike; aa le nirendre’ i Nòake te nita­ke­trak’ an-tane atoy o ranoo.

And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.

12 Ie nandiñe fito andro ka le nirahe’e mb’eo i dehoy f’ie tsy nimpoly.

And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.

13 Ie amy taom-pahaenen-jato-raik’ ambiy, amy volam-baloha’ey, amy andro valoha’ i volañeiy, le nima­ike o rano ambone’ tane atoio; le nakatra’ i Nòake ty lombo’ i lakam-poloaiy naho nisary, vaho niisa’e te nimaike ty ambone’ i taney.

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.

14 Amy volam-paha-roey, amy andro faha roa-polo-fito-ambi’ i volañeiy le nimaike ty tane toy.

And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.

15 Aa hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Nòake,

And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,

16 Iengao o lakam-poloaio, ihe naho ty vali’o naho o ana’oo vaho o valin’ ana’oo.

Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

17 Akaro mindre ama’o ze fonga raha veloñe ama’ nofotse, o voroñeo naho o hareo naho ze hene mpisitsitse misariosario an-tane atoy, hibodobodo an-tane atoy naho hitomambao vaho hanarànake an-tane atoy.

And all the wild beasts as many as are with you, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with you: and increase you and multiply upon the earth.

18 Aa le niavotse t’i Nòake rekets’ o ana-dahi’eo naho i vali’ey naho o valin’ ana’eo.

And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.

19 Le sambe niakatse i lakañey ze biby naho raha milaly, naho o voroñeo naho ze misitsitse ambone’ ty tane toy amo karaza’eo.

And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came forth out of the ark.

20 Aa le nañoreñe kitrely ho am’ Iehovà t’i Nòake vaho sindre nandrambesa’e ze biby malio naho ze voroñe malio vaho nañenga soroñe amy kitreliy.

And Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering upon the altar.

21 Ie naha’antsoñe i harifondrifoñañey t’Iehovà le hoe t’Iehovà añ’arofo’e ao, Tsy hafàko ka o taneo ty am’ondatio, fa raty boak’ami’ty faha-ajaja’e ty fisafirin’ arofo’ ondatio; vaho tsy ho rotsaheko ka ze kila raha veloñe manahake i nanoekoy.

And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh as I have done.

22 Aa naho mbe eo ty tane toy, le tsy ho modo ka ty sam-pitongisañe naho fitatahañe, ty hanintsiñe naho hatrovohañe, ty asara naho asotry, ty handro vaho haleñe.

All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.

A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
