Genesis 8
1 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.
Men, Bondye vin chonje Noe ansanm ak tout bèt bwa ak zannimo domestik ki te avè l' nan batiman an. Bondye fè yon van soufle sou latè, epi dlo yo konmanse bese.
2 And the fountains of the abyss and the floodgates of heaven were closed. And the rain from heaven was restrained.
Sous dlo ki nan fon lanmè a te sispann bay dlo. Syèl la sispann bay dlo tou. Lapli sispann tonbe.
3 And the waters were restored to their coming and going from the earth. And they began to diminish after one hundred and fifty days.
Dlo yo menm t'ap bese, yo t'ap bese piti piti. Se sou sansenkant (150) jou dlo yo te konmanse bese.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
Sou sis mwa disèt jou, batiman an fè tè sou tèt mòn Arara yo.
5 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.
Dlo yo t'ap bese toujou jouk sou dizyèm mwa a. Sou premye jou dizyèm mwa a, tèt mòn yo parèt.
6 And when forty days had passed, Noah, opening the window that he had made in the ark, sent forth a raven,
Karant jou apre sa, Noe louvri fennèt li te fè nan batiman an.
7 which went forth and did not return, until the waters were dried up across the earth.
Li lage yon kònèy. Kònèy la soti. li ale vini, li ale vini jouk dlo a te fin cheche nèt sou latè.
8 Likewise, he sent forth a dove after him, in order to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
Apre sa, li lage yon pijon, pou l' wè si dlo a te fin bese sou tè a.
9 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.
Men, pijon an pa t' jwenn kote pou l' poze. Li tounen vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, paske te gen dlo sou tout latè toujou. Noe lonje men l', li pran pijon an, li fè l' antre nan batiman an ankò.
10 And then, having waited a further seven days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Li tann sèt jou pase. Apre sa, li lage pijon an yon dezyèm fwa, li fè l' soti nan batiman an.
11 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.
Vè aswè konsa, pijon an tounen vin jwenn li. Men, fwa sa a, li te gen yon fèy oliv tout vèt nan bèk li. Konsa, Noe vin konnen dlo a te bese sou tout latè.
12 And nevertheless, he waited another seven days. And he sent forth the dove, which no longer returned to him.
Li tann sèt jou pase anvan li lage pijon an ankò. Fwa sa a menm pijon an pa t' tounen vin jwenn li ankò.
13 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.
Se konsa, lè Noe te gen sisan ennan (601 an), nan premye jou premye mwa lanne jwif yo, dlo a te fin bese nèt sou latè. Noe dekouvri batiman an, li voye je l' gade, li wè tout tè a te chèch.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was made dry.
Sou vennsetyèm jou dezyèm mwa a, tè a te fin chèch nèt.
15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying:
Lè sa a, Bondye di Noe:
16 “Go out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and the wives of your sons with you.
-Soti nan batiman an, ou menm, madanm ou, pitit ou yo ansanm ak madanm pitit ou yo.
17 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.”
Fè tout bèt yo soti tout ansanm avèk ou, zwazo yo, zannimo domestik yo, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant yo. Se pou yo fè pitit, fè anpil pitit pou mete sou tè a ankò.
18 And so Noah and his sons went out, and his wife and the wives of his sons with him.
Se konsa Noe soti nan batiman an ansanm ak madanm li, pitit li yo ak madanm pitit li yo.
19 Then also all living things, and the cattle, and the animals that move upon the earth, according to their kinds, departed from the ark.
tout bèt bwa yo, tout zannimo domestik yo, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant yo, tout zwazo yo, yo tout yo soti nan batiman an tou.
20 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.
Noe bati yon lotèl. Li pran yonn nan chak kalite bèt ak zwazo ki bon pou moun manje, li touye yo, li boule yo nèt sou lotèl la.
21 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.
Lè Bondye pran bon sant lan, sa te fè l' plezi. Li di nan kè l' -Mwen p'ap janm bay tè a madichon ankò poutèt sa lèzòm fè, paske depi yo jenn, se move lide ase ki nan kè yo. Mwen p'ap janm detwi tout bèt vivan yo ankò, jan mwen sot fè l' la.
22 All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, will not cease.”
Toutotan latè a la, va gen yon lè pou plante, yon lè pou rekòlte, va gen sezon fredi ak sezon chalè, va gen sezon sèk, ak sezon lapli, va gen lajounen, va gen lannwit. Wi, toutotan latè a la, bagay sa yo p'ap janm sispann.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
