Genesis 8
1 Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.
Mawu meŋlɔ Noa kple lã siwo katã nɔ aɖakaʋu la me be o. Ena ya aɖe ƒo to tsi la dzi, eye tsiɖɔɖɔ la de asi miemie me,
2 The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained,
elabena tsi si ŋɔ tso tome la nu tso, eye tsidzadza la ke.
3 And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.
Tsi la de asi miemie me vivivi le anyigba dzi. Le ŋkeke alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃lia ƒe nuwuwu la, tsi la mie keŋ,
4 And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat.
eye le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiadrelia gbe la, aɖakaʋu la va tɔ ɖe Ararat toawo tame.
5 And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene.
Le ɣleti ewolia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ gbe, esime tsiɖɔɖɔ la ganɔ miemiem ɖe edzi kokoko la, to bubuwo hã tame de asi dzedze me.
6 So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made,
Le ŋkeke blaene bubu megbe la, Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la ƒe fesre ɖeka,
7 And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth.
eye wòɖe asi le akpaviã ɖeka ŋu. Akpaviã la dzo tso afii yi afi mɛ va se ɖe esime anyigba ƒu.
8 Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth.
Noa ɖo ahɔnɛ aɖe ɖa be ate ŋu akpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui mahã.
9 But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke.
Ke ahɔnɛ la mekpɔ anyigba ƒuƒui aɖeke, afi si wòadze ɖo o, ale wòtrɔ gbɔ, elabena tsi ganɔ anyigba dzi ko. Ale Noa do asi ɖa, eye wòlé ahɔnɛ la gade aɖakaʋu la me.
10 And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke.
Le ŋkeke adre megbe la, Noa gaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu.
11 And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth.
Azɔ la, ahɔnɛ la trɔ gbɔ le fiẽ me, eye wòlé amitiŋgba ɖe nu. Ale Noa dze sii be esusɔ vie tsi la namie keŋkeŋ.
12 Notwithstanding he wayted yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.
Egaɖe asi le ahɔnɛ la ŋu le kɔsiɖa ɖeka megbe, eye ahɔnɛ la megatrɔ gbɔ o.
13 And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere, in the first day of the first moneth the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie.
Ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ va yi. Noa ʋu aɖakaʋu la, eye wòkpɔ be tsi la mie keŋkeŋ azɔ.
14 And in the second moneth, in the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drie.
Kɔsiɖa enyi gava yi. Anyigba ƒu azɔ mlɔeba.
15 Then God spake to Noah, saying,
Tete Mawu gblɔ na Noa be,
16 Goe forth of the Arke, thou and thy wife, and thy sonnes and thy sonnes wiues with thee.
“Wò kple srɔ̃wò kple viwò ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃wo mido le aɖakaʋu la me.
17 Bring forth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all flesh, both foule and cattell, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, that they may breede abundantly in ye earth, and bring forth fruite and increase vpon ye earth.
Ɖe nu gbagbe bubu ɖe sia ɖe si le gbɔwò: xeviawo, lãawo kple nu gbagbe siwo tana la katã do go le aɖakaʋu la me, ale be woagate ŋu adzi asɔ gbɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.”
18 So Noah came forth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him.
Ale Noa do go kple srɔ̃a kple via ŋutsuawo kple wo srɔ̃awo.
19 Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery foule, all that moueth vpon the earth after their kindes went out of the Arke.
Lãawo katã kple nu gbagbe siwo tana kple xevi ɖe sia ɖe kple nu sia nu si ʋãna le anyigba dzi la do go tso aɖakaʋu la me ɖe wo nɔewo yome hamehame.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, and offered burnt offerings vpon the altar.
Esia megbe la, Noa ɖi vɔsamlekpui, eye wòsa vɔ le edzi na Yehowa kple lã kple xevi siwo dzi Yehowa da asi ɖo hena vɔsasa la dometɔ aɖewo.
21 And the Lord smellled a sauour of rest, and the Lord said in his heart, I will hencefoorth curse the ground no more for mans cause: for the imagination of mans heart is euill, euen from his youth: neither will I smite any more all things liuing, as I haue done.
Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le vɔsa la ŋu, eye wògblɔ na eɖokui be, “Nyemagaƒo fi ade anyigba o, eye nyemagatsrɔ̃ nu gbagbewo katã le edzi azɔ o, togbɔ be amegbetɔ ƒe dzɔdzɔme henɛ dea nu vɔ̃ me tso keke eƒe ɖevime ke, eye wòwɔa nu vɔ̃wo tsyo ƒomevi gɔ̃ hã.
22 Hereafter seede time and haruest, and colde and heate, and sommer and winter, and day and night shall not cease, so long as ye earth remaineth.
Zi ale si anyigba aganɔ anyi ko la, nuƒãɣi kple nuŋeɣi, vuvɔŋɔli kple fifiawɔɣi, pepime kple dzomeŋɔli, ŋkeke kple zã aganɔ anyi kokoko.”
