1 Mojzes 8
1 Bog se je spomnil Noeta in vsake žive stvari in vse živine, ki je bila z njim v ladji in Bog je naredil veter, da je šel prek zemlje in vode so se znižale.
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 Tudi studenci globin in okna neba so bili ustavljeni in dež z neba je bil zadržan.
The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Vode so se nenehno vračale iznad zemlje in po koncu sto petdesetih dni so bile vode znižane.
The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
4 Ladja je obstala v sedmem mesecu, na sedemnajsti dan meseca, na gorah Araráta.
The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 In vode so nenehno upadale do desetega meseca. V desetem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, so bili vidni vrhovi gora.
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 Ob koncu štiridesetih dni se je pripetilo, da je Noe odprl okno ladje, ki jo je naredil
At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 in izpustil krokarja, ki je letal sem ter tja, dokler se vode iznad zemlje niso posušile.
and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Od sebe je izpustil tudi golobico, da vidi, če so se vode znižale iznad obličja tal,
He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
9 toda golobica ni našla počitka za podnožje svojega stopala in se je vrnila k njemu v ladjo, kajti vode so bile na obličju celotne zemlje. Potem je iztegnil svojo roko in jo prijel ter potegnil k sebi v ladjo.
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 Okleval pa je še drugih sedem dni in golobico ponovno izpustil iz ladje.
He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
11 Golobica je zvečer priletela k njemu, in glej, v njenem kljunu je bil odtrgan oljčni list. Tako je Noe spoznal, da so bile vode iznad zemlje znižane.
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 Okleval je še drugih sedem dni in izpustil golobico, ki se ni več ponovno vrnila k njemu.
He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
13 Pripetilo se je v šeststoprvem letu, v prvem mesecu, prvi dan meseca, [da] so se vode iznad zemlje posušile. Noe je odstranil pokrivalo ladje ter pogledal in glej, obličje tal je bilo suho.
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.
14 V drugem mesecu, na sedemindvajseti dan meseca, je bila zemlja suha.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Bog je spregovoril Noetu, rekoč:
God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 »Pojdi iz ladje ti in tvoja žena in tvoji sinovi in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.
“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 S seboj privedi vsako živo stvar, ki je s teboj od vsega mesa, tako od perjadi kakor od živine in od vsake plazeče stvari, ki se plazi na zemlji, da se bodo na zemlji lahko obilno plodili in bodo rodovitni in se množili na zemlji.«
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 Noe se je izkrcal in njegovi sinovi in njegova žena in žene njegovih sinov z njim.
Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Vsaka žival, vsaka plazeča stvar in vsaka perjad in karkoli se plazi na zemlji, po svojih vrstah, so se izkrcali iz ladje.
Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Noe je zgradil oltar Gospodu in vzel od vsake čiste živali in od vsake čiste perjadi ter na oltarju daroval žgalne daritve.
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 Gospod je zavohal prijeten vonj in Gospod je v svojem srcu rekel: »Zaradi človeka tal ne bom več ponovno preklel, kajti zamisel človekovega srca je zla od njegove mladosti niti ne bom več ponovno udaril vsake žive stvari, kakor sem storil.
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 Dokler ostaja zemlja, čas setve in žetve in mraz in vročina in poletje in zima in dan in noč ne bodo prenehali.«
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
