Postanak 8
1 Onda se Bog sjeti Noe, svih zvijeri i sve stoke što bijaše s njim u korablji, pa pokrenu vjetar nad zemljom da uzbije vodu.
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 Zatvoriše se izvori bezdanu i ustave nebeske, i dažd s neba prestade.
And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.
3 Polako se povlačile vode sa zemlje. Nakon stotinu pedeset dana vode su jenjale,
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 a sedmoga mjeseca, sedamnaestog dana u mjesecu korablja se zaustavi na brdima Ararata.
And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.
5 Vode su neprestano opadale do desetog mjeseca, a prvoga dana desetog mjeseca pokažu se brdski vrhunci.
And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.
6 Kad je izminulo četrdeset dana, Noa otvori prozor što ga je načinio na korablji;
And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 ispusti gavrana, a gavran svejednako odlijetaše i dolijetaše dok se vode sa zemlje nisu isušile.
And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.
8 Zatim ispusti golubicu da vidi je li voda nestala sa zemlje.
And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.
9 Ali golubica ne nađe uporišta nogama te se vrati k njemu u korablju, jer voda još pokrivaše svu površinu; on pruži ruku, uhvati golubicu te je unese k sebi u korablju.
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 Počeka još sedam dana pa opet pusti golubicu iz korablje.
And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.
11 Prema večeri golubica se vrati k njemu, i gle! u kljunu joj svjež maslinov list; tako je Noa doznao da su opale vode sa zemlje.
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 Još počeka sedam dana pa opet pusti golubicu: više mu se nije vratila.
And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.
13 Šest stotina prve godine Noina života, prvoga mjeseca, prvog dana u mjesecu uzmakoše vode sa zemlje. Noa skine pokrov s korablje i pogleda: površina okopnjela.
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 A drugoga mjeseca, sedamnaestog dana u mjesecu, zemlja bijaše suha.
And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.
15 Tada Bog reče Noi:
And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,
16 “Iziđi iz korablje, ti, tvoja žena, tvoji sinovi i žene tvojih sinova s tobom.
Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
17 Sa sobom izvedi sva živa bića, sva stvorenja što su s tobom: ptice, stoku i sve gmizavce što zemljom puze; neka zemljom vrve, plode se i na zemlji množe!”
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 I Noa iziđe, a s njime sinovi njegovi, žena njegova i žene sinova njegovih.
And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Sve životinje, svi gmizavci, sve ptice - svi stvorovi što se zemljom miču - iziđu iz korablje, vrsta za vrstom.
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 I podiže Noa žrtvenik Jahvi; uze od svih čistih životinja i od svih čistih ptica i prinese na žrtveniku žrtve paljenice.
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 Jahve omirisa miris ugodni pa reče u sebi: “Nikad više neću zemlju u propast strovaliti zbog čovjeka, tÓa čovječje su misli opake od njegova početka; niti ću ikad više uništiti sva živa stvorenja, kako sam učinio.
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 Sve dok zemlje bude, sjetve, žetve, studeni, vrućine, ljeta, zime, dani, noći nikada prestati neće.”
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
